I think once the mint gets rid of the 50 household limit, these coins will sell out. The 50 coin limit doesn't bother 99.9% of buyers but it definitely has an impact on some big companies. Just my opinion.
MCM has reduced their price on the 70s AND are giving an additional $20 off. Below $2000 for a PCGS/NGC 70 now. Still a premium, but 70s always have a premium. Could be a dicey thing right now.....

Other than ... buy my coins because I believe my prices are really "fair" (LOL) ....
I would say that a few things are very possible in my opinion:
1. There will be substantially more MS70FS coins at PCGS than there were for the 2009 UHR's. This is likely due to a higher grade through rate this time than in 2009 and the max lots of 50 vs. the limit 1 from 2009 has led dealers (even true blue "classic" coin dealers) this time to "play" and submit these coins when they would not have dreamed of submitting these type of coins 6 years ago. I met one in the dealer lobby at PCGS the other day - he clearly seems a little embarrassed about submitting these coins (perhaps he thought I was thinking just how bad it is right now trying to be purely a classic coin dealer in this market).
2. Assuming #1, the larger number of MS70FS coins will offset the lower mintage this time.
3. Modern dealers are now so used to making $10 and $15 clear on a $1000 or $1500 coin that even if there is $100 or $150 net profit to made on a 70FS High Relief (after whatever loss on the 69's), that may be viewed as "big money" in the relative nature of things. Hence, the "low, low" prices at the outset.
As always, just my two cents. Wondercoin
Please visit my website at www.wondercoins.com and my ebay auctions under my user name www.wondercoin.com.
I think what is hurting these now like a lot of perceived popular coins is the entry of extra large dealers. They buy by the ton then get spooked at any slowdown in fear that a falling gold price will reach up and nip them in a big way so they adjust prices to keep them moving before the spot price boogie man gets them. There may be some sophisticated ones that hedge to protect their stock but I wonder if that is a small group with deep pockets. It could be that when these clear out then the price may solidify.
Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.
"Thanks Mitch. What's the thought on which label?"
The majority of my coins are being slabbed in "classic" First Strike labels. A small minority with the Medal of Excellence (Standish) insert because it is a bit more "exclusive" so I am told. That's it.
I recently passed on an even more special insert because it would have cost me $35/coin more just for the label. I just want to keep the costs down to compete with anyone and everyone offering these coins.

My single order arrived Monday shortly after I left for the week. Just returned and inspected the coin. Like many if not most, my HR coin exhibited die polishing. The order was placed within the first 15 minutes of sale. I did not find even under 8X magnification any marks or defects other than the die polish. Call it a matter of principle, I will not accept this level of quality after paying such a heavy gold price premium. The coin is on the way to the post office as I post this message for return. I will use the funds to purchase something that represents a better value.

The first one I opened has a "flatness" to it representative of a Bullion gold eagle. I get the HR but she feels like bullion. I like the pics you all posted online better.

Watching the same show. I can't believe how hard they are hyping. They have/had 179 70's. Wonder how many sell @ $1.000 over cost.
MoD sets, ANACS 70, $300. Regularly $370 989 "limited edition"
