I had to do this once.

<< <i>How many of those coins get this ANA label ? >>
Maximum possible is the 2000 sold at ANA. Likely between the two major TPGs, number will come in around 1300.
Fairly low mintage label. >>
Yeah, soon we'll need a presshus plastic and paper forum. We already know what the coin is worth which is the $1640 that the mint sold it for. Lotsa bux for a piece a paper which may actually devalue the coin if it discolors it. I think all of this stupid money is coming from those who paid stupid money years ago and are just tying to protect their investment by keeping prices high. I could see some justification if there were only a few 70s, but they are fairly common. And the mint doesn't charge any more for a 70 than it does a 69 or even a 60. The smart money would buy 2 coins from the mint and hold them in their OGP.

Regardless of what some think about the plastic or the label, perceived or real "limited editions" have an appeal to some collectors/speculators and as such will demand a premium over other labels with the same coin. Is it worth it? Only time will tell.
The fact is that the Mint has learned how to market and sell their coins. They created demand for the ANA released Buffalo's and as such increased their value, as well as general interest in the release.
I am constantly surprised by how much some coins sell for just because of the plastic or label. Yes I know, buy the coin not the plastic... Thoughts?

I havent seen one that is selling below 2700 (almost 1100 more than issue price or a ~70% increase in price). Yes I know they are ANA labels, but they are still 70s.

If the Mint catches a lot of flack about the "fairness" of this, as they did with the '11 ASE sets they will likely reconsider.
Not so sure the ANA 70's won't keep a premium over the First Strikes on this one, particularly the NGC version as it falls right in with the "Releases" labels and is the true First or Early Release. Will be interesting to see how it shakes out after a few weeks though.

Maybe PCGS will decided to offer an ANA First Strike label and let you, for a small fee of course, get your label changed. Then there will be an original PCGS ANA label and a ANA First Strike label, thus reducing the population even further. Kind of like what they did with the UHR with the "proof-like" designation label.
Anyone think that 70s are going to be selling for under 2k? I doubt it.
I think PR70 FS (non-ANA) will be selling close to $2K, maybe $2200 top within next 3 months if gold price remains within current range (or anywhere +400-500 on top of then current Mint 1 Oz Buffalo price)
If you look at the current inventory of the still available 2013 1 Ozers (Proof Buffalo, "W" and Proof AGE)- most of them are still within 2K range with much lower current mintages and plenty available
I'm willing to bet that PR70 First Strike population on Rev Proof Buffalo will be huge - over 5K in 2-3 months, why pay so much extra for just label instead of getting 2 of them for nearly the same price?

Your comparing apples to oranges in your scenario. What you need to do is compare previously issued US Mint reverse proof products to their regular proof brethren to get a feel.

<< <i>Anyone think that 70s are going to be selling for under 2k? I doubt it.
I think PR70 FS (non-ANA) will be selling close to $2K, maybe $2200 top within next 3 months if gold price remains within current range (or anywhere +400-500 on top of then current Mint 1 Oz Buffalo price)
If you look at the current inventory of the still available 2013 1 Ozers (Proof Buffalo, "W" and Proof AGE)- most of them are still within 2K range with much lower current mintages and plenty available
I'm willing to bet that PR70 First Strike population on Rev Proof Buffalo will be huge - over 5K in 2-3 months, why pay so much extra for just label instead of getting 2 of them for nearly the same price? >>
Your comparing apples to oranges in your scenario. What you need to do is compare previously issued US Mint reverse proof products to their regular proof brethren to get a feel.
<< <i>Also, depending on USM delivery of these RP's - we may have a smaller group eligible for FS.....given the 8/23 ship dates.
I believe the next ship date is 9/27? Or, is there a group before that date?
This may get interesting. >>
I had a 8-23 exp. ship date (12:06 first day order). Cancel button is gone and my CC has the charge pending.

My order on the 11th shows 9/8 shipping. Another order on the 13th did show 9/27 but now is 9/8 also.
I wonder how many of us would have an 8/23 ship date if the Mint didn't sell those coins at the shows.
Figure 2000 more orders, not accounting for multiple coins on an order.
I mean, how can we NOT be upset that the coins, some of us would have received, where sold at the shows, and said coins are selling for a nice premium.
Those Were My coins !!!! (maybe). But they were someones....
<< <i>Mine is still 9/8.

I place two different orders on 8/13/2013 and both show a 9/8 ship date now. So, it would apppear the majority of the herd will be FS eligible
Order 8/8/13 @ 1:07 -ship date shows 9/8
(By the way, in case you're wondering, I had the opposite of buyers remorse . . . After almost an hour, I felt bad I didn't order more, so I returned to the store for another one!)
away, to "in stock and reserved" w/cancel box, to "in stock and reserved w/o cancel box, to "shipped" in less than 1 afternoon!
on 08/20/2013 at 06:14am Ms. Morrisine said "Generally, if they show 8/23 on the page and it's this close, it could ship any day now.
and they did!

<< <i>Ordered 12:04 8/8, now shows shipped! Has tracking number >>
