Encroaching senility and gold

percyb

Does anyone recall the price the US Mint sold the 2009 St. Gaudens high relief gold 20 piece for when they were first offered for sale?

I was thinking it cost around $1100--$1125, but of course it's been more than 10 minutes ago and I can't remember

I saw an unslabed one sell for over $1900 the other day. Glad I hung onto that one.

I paid mine $1289 but I think it went on sale at $1189.


edited to add: I regret I didn't buy 2 like my wife suggested!

Unslabbed one sold for that? Jeesh, I'm gonna sell a slabbed one for less.

When you snooze, you loose track of reality. The PCGS FS MS70's are selling for $3k+

The guy I sold mine to on ebay for $1749 sent it in to PCGS and got a FS PR70. I paid $1189 for it.

I'm thinkin' that I got mine from the mint, at release date, for just under 1300.

Me too! It's my first coin and the one that will never sell.

Did you sell him an unopened box? (30 day window for FS)

The odd thing is, that the non FS MS70's are selling for $700 - $1k less.

Another coin that has "slipped under the radar" is the 20th Anniversary Reverse Proof Gold Eagle. PCGS PR70 FS are also selling in the $3k range. I forgot what the 3 coin set originally sold for. ($2400?)

Really? The 3 coin 20th Anniv Gold coin set sold that cheaply ... 3 oz of Gold ..no way!

Tom's $1,189 was in response to the earlier question. The 3-coin Anniversary Set was priced at $2,610 and sold out in about 3 days. It has 1/11th the mintage compared to the 2009 High Relief Double Eagle.

Thanks ... I thought so ....

$2,610/3 oz. = $870/oz. of gold

At the time, it seemed like a stretch. Now, it seems like a pretty good deal, even tho the price for a 3-coin set has backed off like a new issue always does.
