I'll admit to buying two. One to keep for my collection and one for the nice people on eBay

    A single example. To slab or not is the next question.

    One, for my collection. Call me the odd man out, but I really like the design. My only difficulty was with the premium. But after the quick sellout, I'm happy I bought one...

    I'll cart it along to the Public Friday next month and submit it with the rest of my order(s).

    Bought none and don't believe this is a flip candidate!! I believe when the bills come due in 30 days it will be a race to a bottom for these as nervous flippers head for the exits.

    I like the design, but with the mintage and $1500 price tag, I don't see this as a flip opportunity. I think I'll pick one up once the price settles.

    It looks like another Gold Kennedy

    Well, there you go. An easy $10.20 profit!

    You're figuring 10% seller fee. If they have a store it's 6% fee. Still not worth it to me.

    gold commemorative coins tend to do poorly during declining gold prices. I'm on the sidelines with this one.

    I fully intended to sit this one out - I swear ! image


    Then at 12 :00 my obsession took over and I went to the website. Put 50 into my basket just to have
    a looksee at what crazy stuff might be up - instant backorder, sellout, whatever. Well it said I was over
    the limit for Credit Card orders!

    image

    OK so then I figured I want to order 1 just to have an in hand close up. A little later I decided I'd get
    another and send the best one in for my first slabbing ever.

    Of course an hour after all that I figured oh get another and send in the best of 3. Luckily self control
    kicked in. I got 9 Bags of ATB Quarters instead.

    image

    And wouldn't you know the Quarters all shipped first. My 3rd Mint Order of the day is the first out the door.

    Somehow I'd love to visit that Shipping Operation.

    flippers best to dump these early ...large supply quickly coming out there .. coupled with large Mint premium makes for interesting situation

    I just took a look on Ebay. For some reason the listings all just look silly. All selling the same thing which is always the case but this time it just seems different.

    I backorded one last night but came to my senses this morning and cancelled. The market will be flooded with these below issue price in a few months.

    No interest.... nice to look at... but not for my collection - and certainly not for a stack. Cheers, RickO

    A lot of folks had similar thoughts on the UHR and now look at them. I sure wish I hadn't sold a couple so early.

    The Mint smartly priced the coin with a high enough premium over gold spot .. to take out the speculation wind out for now.. down the road ?... who knows

    Not me! It's not worth investing that kind of money on such a high mintage coin that is going nowhere but down to melt price.

    Just like the other high relief 1 oz gold coin with a mintage of more than double this coin?

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    I didn't buy either. I will wait til 2016 for the gold walking liberty and gold mercury dime. Classics tend to do better than these new mint designs.

    I'm in the zero camp as well. After the usual suspects get in and out, these will be cheaper on the aftermarket. Unlike the UHR Saint pieces, these have a ho-hum design that IMO will fizzle after the flippers and TV sellers are done (and thus we'll be able to buy them much cheaper later if desired). JMHO
