sales of the 2011 bullion seem to be slowing to a crawl.
PCGS seems to have changed what a DMPL is.... maybe it needs relfect in terms of light-years instead of the usual 8" that it was.
Maybe MCM should include in the description the actual names of the parks that you receive in this 2011 set? I know for the serious collector, one could figure that out but maybe I'm too much of a Captain Obvious.
Also, I wonder if MCM sells just the display box as a separate item?

Not at all. I made a lot of $ on these things, but I got sick of them. It was just nuts. As with many of us, in hind-sight I sure wish that I had sold all of them early. I held an MS69DMPLFS Yos. when I could have sold it for $4K.
Who's buying a set - or more?
Looking at the mintages of the 2011 issues, I think that it's clear that the 2010s will be the keys after all for the business strikes. The question is, in the future, will anyone care?
If the answer is yes, then these are a no-brainer.
That said, they've had 43 sets in stock for an hour now.
This is kind of full circle. I remember when APMEX had the first sets and the whole thing started and went nuts. Now, about 10 months later, they seem to be getting rid of the last of the best and doing so at a good price.
Well, there are now 42 sets left. I just picked one up. I needed a DMPL69FS GC and YS. Hopefully by selling the three now duplicate MS69DMPLFS MH, YOS and HS that I have I'll be able to substantially offset the cost of the set that I just bought.
I'm very glad that I waited until now. To date, I've not paid about the cost of the raw coins + grading for any of them. I was often tempted to pick up the GC and YS but just couldn't pull the trigger at over a grand each. Turns out to have been the right move (for a change).
I think that for a buy and hold - even a relatively short term hold - that there is money to be made with these sets. That said, just one for me - or, perhaps two. I'll have to sleep on it.
There is a big difference in the mint version which is very dull looking and the nice bright shiney bullion version in the top grade with low population.
Still 42 sets left. Can't believe that I'm the only one who has.pulled the trigger in 10 hours at this.price. i wonder whether they'll reprice lower. Incredible.
<< <i>Still 42 sets left. Can't believe that I'm the only one who has.pulled the trigger in 10 hours at this.price. i wonder whether they'll reprice lower. Incredible. >>
I've had one in and out of my shopping cart a couple times, but just can't pull the trigger. Other than the lone GC abberation, sales are pretty weak on Feebay. Yeah, there have been a few sets in the upper $2Ks, but there have been way more that have run the course of the listing with no bids. The singles are even worse. Recently completed auctions of YOS, Mt Hood and HS were all around $400 each. Yellowstones have been languishing (not selling) in the $700 range. Even if you could pull $1K for the GC - no guarantee, after fees and all, the net profit wouldn't be worth the effort IMO. The long term demand just hasn't developed. I'm as disappointed as anyone.
Still, I'm tempted to pick up another 69 DMPL set. I've got one from the early days (self assembled), but another wouldn't hurt. I think if silver suffers another leg down APMEX might reprice these even lower. Jeez, Ron, if you are the only one to buy one at this price off of this board, the demand must be low. I think I'll throw my lot in with the 25th Anniversary SAEs instead...
<< <i>Still 42 sets left. Can't believe that I'm the only one who has.pulled the trigger in 10 hours at this.price. i wonder whether they'll reprice lower. Incredible. >>
I bought a set too before I reported to the board about the sale.
<< <i>As a long term hold it's a good deal. If I was 10 years younger I wouldn't hesitate. But I'm not so I won't. >>
I agree completely - with the key to your statement being "long term". That's what is so tempting to me. If these ever catch on, the 2010 sets will be key - not so much because of the mintage numbers, but because three of the nationally most popular parks are in the bunch. Long term...but short term, I think I'll be better off going whole hog into the 25th Anniversary SAEs. They should have a far greater potential going into Christmas than the year old pucks...and for $2500 I should be able to capture somewhere around 8 or so SAE sets, depending on mint markup and the price of silver...
I do not have a complete 69DMPLFS set which is why I bought one. I think that in the long term my YOS, MH and HS doubles will pretty much be able to be sold such that they off-set much of the cost of this set. It looks clear that the 2010 business strikes will be the keys by a huge margin. Of course, as I said, the key is whether anyone will care.
I've never seen so much interest in a set initially that crashed so hard so fast.
I am really hesitant on the 2010's DMPLs. I have two but need three to have a complete 69 DMPL set. Luckily the Grand Canyon was self made and only cost me about $175(bullion cost) and about $70 in grading fees. Don't know if I want to pull the trigger on the other 3 DMPLs. Congrats to those that have complete DMPL sets. I really like these DMPLs. I think I spent too much already for the 2011 DMPLs.
<< <i>These are NOT selling. It seems that I pulled the trigger too soon last night. I think that a downward repricing is likely and that I'll be left >>
If they come down to the $2K range, I won't be able to resist!!!

Edited: Just looked at the FeeBay closed auctions. This deal from APMEX for an MS69DMPL set looks like a great price. Am I missing something?
Apmex has 2010 MS 69 DMPL sets for $2495.00
Gee, I wonder where they got them?

<< <i>Nice prediction! >>
Thanks! I predicted $2500 when these sets first fell below $4000, so that was quite a few pages back.
<< <i>So, is this the bottom?? >>
I believe it's close to the bottom. Close enough that if I had $2500 to spend, I'd pick up a set now.
I'm very glad that I waited until now. To date, I've not paid about the cost of the raw coins + grading for any of them. I was often tempted to pick up the GC and YS but just couldn't pull the trigger at over a grand each. Turns out to have been the right move (for a change).
$2025 GC MS69DMPL FS
PCGS prices have not dropped on these coins in a month and I figure this is as low as they are going to go.
One set is bid up to over $2900 right now on ebay.
There is a big difference in the mint version which is very dull looking and the nice bright shiney bullion version in the top grade with low population.
<< <i>Right but I doubt people will mix up versions in a series, also if sales fall then the pops could fall on future coins. >>
Very true which will make the 2010's even more expensive.
<< <i>How did that GC get bid up so high???? >>
I dont know but it could be a sign of what is about to happen. There are only 955 of these things in DMPL and if 2 or 3 people decide they want
one $hit happens.

I agree on any grade lower than these, but the MS69 DMPL's will always bring a nice premium.
