Poll - 2016 Gold Mercury - was it profitable for flippers?

I didn't buy any so that is a good sign there was money to be made in flipping.

How did you do?

Bought several boxes... shipped to friends, etc. Sold quickly for a healthy profit.

I committed a batch for a small profit before they went on sale. Had my hands washed of them before they even showed up. Can't complain about that.

The flippers made money, but the people who bought them from the flippers won't make any. They will lose in the end. The mintage is too high, and the details on the coin are too weak. The coin looks like Mercury dime with a mediocre strike. The mint could at least put split bans in the design.

Bought three and sold two netting $280 each after ebay fees~probably should have sold all 3 but I wanted one for my collection and I wound up paying about $60 for the one I kept.
