I'm expecting increased interest, so hold on to your sales receipt it could get crazy; blue sky breakout ahead. I was recommending stock AMD a month ago at $19, but no one listens....

I don't recommend particular dealers but two very large sellers of modern coins I've seen in threads and on the internet come quickly to mind. I think it may break the CU rules to post their names. One has to wonder how TPGS PR-70s are already on Ebay.
My dealer friend made tons of money last year on PA ...this year he is looking for even better
Don't sell too cheap ....dealers want this year's coin even more
I can already hear that blowhard coin guy with his ANACS PF70's puffing these coins. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME EVER THE US MINT HAS PRODUCED... YOU CAN'T GET THIS ANYWHERE! THEY SOLD OUT IN SECONDS! Any guesses on his asking price?
I think the only reason they sold out so fast was that people were offering huge premiums right out of the gate for them. I think after the initial hype wears off the prices will come back down.
No crying. Life gets in the way or something/someone more important at the time.Wasn't available at 12 or later. If nothing was going on,yes I'd have bought one. There has been and will be other buying opportunities in the future.

So if it isn't a 90% alloy of silver, or a 25% alloy of nickel, or a 95% alloy of copper, it is worthless? Huh. You must drive an electric car.

The first-ever Palladium coin issued by the U.S. Mint!
For the first time in 20 years, the U.S. Mint has added a metal to the American Eagle program with the first American Palladium coin. This 1 oz Palladium coin pairs the classic obverse of the Mercury dime with a reverse designed by Adolph Weinman in 1907.
Coin Highlights:
Contains 1 oz of .9995 fine Palladium.
Mintage of 15,000 coins for this inaugural issue.
Coins will be packaged in protective plastic flips.
Obverse: A young depiction of Liberty with winged Phrygian cap, reminiscent of the Roman god Mercury. Adapted from Adolph Weinman's classic design first used on the Mercury Dime in 1916.
Reverse: A majestic eagle perched atop a rock along with the weight, purity and $25 face value. This design, also created by Adolph Weinman, has been used since 1907 on the American Institute of Architects' annual Gold Medal.
Produced at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia.
Palladium is the first addition to the U.S. Mint's popular American Eagle bullion program since Platinum was introduced in 1997.
Palladium is an extremely useful metal, an industrial and catalyst type one like platinum. I'm thinking that major industrial titans and their workers will be trying to get one for themselves! This is yuge!
I enjoy watching the flipping fever on some of these new issue coins.... The gold Kennedy was a classic...nothing has equaled that one....Cheers, RickO
One of the most attractive coins the mint has ever issued. I will obtain one sooner or later on the secondary market, though I plan on sitting on the fence for awhile.
Exactly. Always amazes me. Unless you are buying to flip for quick profit better off waiting a few months. Will certainly find below the mints original price, maybe even at spot and probably even slabbed.
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.
BOOMIN!™
IMHO if you can afford to buy it you should be able to hold on to it, kinda like leaving your wager on the table when they slide you the dice. Peace Roy

When has this medal been used in a coin before? Never or almost never from what I can see. After looking up the consumer and industrial uses for this rare medal, it’s a shame that some of it has been wasted on this gimmick coin.

Now if they just do as well as the gold SLQ.
Now that one I DID get.
Me too. Lesson learned.
Is this for real? I didn't know they're available at the USMint store. Please note the receipt from Colorado mint, time stamped @ 129pm. Just an FYI.

I been in back when it was 9 bucks lovin the ride
Does anyone know how fast it sold out?
Sorry to hear that Bill, Just another reason that $300 to $400 with one phone call would cone in handy.
Around 5 minutes +/-
What would be the price of a F-12... oh, make it a F-15 PCGS CAC?
It'll take more than 30 days to get that low...but probably eventually.
Didn't even try, I went to the movies, I saw Operation Finale, good movie.

Is there a PCGS Black label this year? How are prices of those for last year holding up?

Got this instead for hundred's less. Seller's pictures.
I don't know how that happened! I know I like to repeat myself sometimes, but that was a bit much even for me.
