    I'm buying. I still like the series - low mintages.

    No I, but she was an interesting and attractive first lady.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.

    I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but calling her attractive is a stretch imho!! I'd call her handsome!

    You need to check out the famous painting of her wearing the red dress with the white dog when see was younger. It's easy to Google it.

    I wish there was a way to get a true assessment of how many real Collectors of this series are actually out there.
    Personally I think most are iust Dealers hoping to make 70 First Strikes for the flip. Oh well its a free country as they
    say.

    flip?

    if there were no collectors, to whom would the dealers sell?

    I am sure that there will be a sales promotion somewhere down the line. They will tout the very low mintages and historical significance to non-collectors and other speculators. The biggest problem will be the gold content which will put a heavy floor under the price, but that can be turned around and called an investment in bullion, even at several times the melt value.

    Here's my first Lady! I'd get a few boxes of dollars if they minted her face on them for sure.

    It is not that life is short, but that you are dead for so very long.

    Quick flippers sell to longer term flippers. If these were around 500 mintage I think I'd actually want to collect them. I rarely
    sell anything I get. Call me a Collector or a hoarder but don't call me an investor, speculator or flipper.
