    You never posted a pic of this coin.


    Did anybody else buy any of these? Are you glad you bought them? I'd like to buy one but they seem pretty high priced.

    I would very much like to own a UHR, however my biggest fear is these coins will Not hold their value due to the high mintage. I am worried that if gold goes down these will closely follow bullion price as there are so many of them made. Any thoughts on this? Would I be better off investing my money in something else? I would appreciate any advice. Many thanks!

    They will be available for sale until 12/31 ... no final mintage yet, but over 110,000 have been sold so far.

    Thanks OPA! Even if it ends at 300,000 seems small to me for such a wonderful beauty.image

    I wish they'd limited the run to 25k or 50k. But it's such a beautiful piece the unlimited nature doesn't bother me.

    Still, the mint needs to end the gold eagle program and either do these or the buffalos from now on.

    I still have my uhr in the Mint shipping box. In fact, I have about a dozen or more of miscellaneous mint shipping boxes from the past 3 years still waiting to get sent in to pcgs for first strikes. Including the '08 buffalos. image Need to renew my membership soon and free some space!

    I got mine as soon as it was minted. It is a beautiful coin and one of my favorites by far, goverment box makes a great display. If you are buying this for investment, just buy a buffalo. I for one want this in my collection and don't intend to part with it until the god lord calls me home. IMHO image

    When I bought mine, it cost me a little less than $1200. Had it graded, and got a 70 first strike. Had planned on selling it, but it was too beautiful to let go. It's a keeper for me.

    guys

    these will NEVER trade even to bullion, not even close.

    even with 100k minted, it is a VERY POPULAR design and will not be replicated in gold anytime soon.

    example........2001 silver buffalo dollars.......250k minted......still $150 coin..........crazy popular design, waaaaaay too high a mintage as compared to other commem dollars (where 15,000 is the cutoff for a keeper)

    i believe prices will firm up when it goes off sale. you'll never make a killing on this piece, but it will trade at significant premiums to gold spot forever.

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Nice presentation, Commem! That box they came in is way crazy. I like the piece and it's definitely a one of a kind but the thickness almost makes it seem like a medal instead of a coin when you hold it. Maybe because it is more like a medal than a coin...duh. Hey, it's pure gold and it's nice so I'm keeping mine.
