Bought me one of the PCGS MS-69's from APMEX yesterday...A couple of bucks more than raw and much less than the proof (MS-69's not on the APMEX site today)
I don't have one, and it will be a long while before I bother to get one. I'd rather put the money into something that is more interesting.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. 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 am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
i can think of hundreds of other coins to spend 800 dollars on. i do like the design a nd think they are nice but i never want to hear about them again.
There's a show coming up in my burg in a couple of weeks, so I'll wait until then to get one.
I like the unc. better than the proof. I think the unc. looks more like a real coin. Proofs are too fancy-schmancy for me. Although a lot of people are saying that the proof could be a good investment.
Not yet! But it could come back to haunt us if they change the design next year and every year after that. Also, there's stories/rumors that there will be 4 COIN DENOMINATION BUFFALOES next year like the gold eagle sets! Add that to the fact that this is the first year 24k Gold Coin!!!?????
And the 1st Year 1986 Gold Eagle Proofs have sold like hotcakes on Ebay this year!
Since when is a full ounce of pure gold worthless? Please explain your rationale.

For the first time in my life, the price of the coin doesn't put it out of my reach. The design of the coin, however, looks like a puddle of vomit. I think it's one of the ugliest coin designs EVER for United States Coinage. I won't waste my time or money on this coin. I already have a 24-karat gold coin, and frankly the Canadian Maple Leaf design is much better looking in my eyes.
I collect the elements on the periodic table, and some coins. I have a complete Roosevelt set, and am putting together a set of coins from 1880.
Not here. Just waiting for the suckers who bought 'em at $800 and had 'em slabbed PR69 by PCGS to sell 'em on ebay for melt or near melt. I guess I'll own one sooner than later!!! Sellout at the mint....not a chance and this thread proves it. This coin is the perfect example of modern crap marketed by the Mint at newbie's expenses.....or in this case....many experienced collectors. Sorry but the truth hurts!! Flame away!!

But until that point, I'll buy generic Saints instead.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

I'd much rather have au classic gold, or even modern gold commens at the same premium over melt.
