$178.00 for a Godless dollar?

Wow! I just hope no one gets the "dremel" treatment at those prices for a raw coin.

Pretty good profit margin. I went to the local Wachovia where I got three previous rolls of the P dollars and they are out now. Guess I wil have to find another bank.

    The first one to sell brought a lot more than that.

    I wonder if these coins ended up in one region of the country or are spread around a bit. I've purchased a total of 20 rolls on 6 different days and have not found one error coin. I'm in Ohio and won't waste my time if the coins never made it to this area. I've been using them to buy my gasoline, but the clerks at the Marathon station I go to told me not to bring any more. They told me they don't have a drawer for them and nobody wants to take them as change. Rather than argue with them--the legal tender position, etc.--I realized I'm dealing with gas station clerks and saved my breath.

    It'll be interesting to see how these do. Rarity isn't necessarily the most important factor in value. The up and down leaf quarters certainly aren't rare, and we've seen what's happened with those. These plain edge dollars are getting a lot of buzz from outside numismatic circles, so they just may take off.

    You got it Russ. I just today became aware of the mint error, read about it in the ordinary news. If I can be interested in this "Modern" error, the general public will be going wild over it.image

    I guess the first one sold in the 600.00 range. I guess it always pays to be first, so the "first on the block" buyer pays a premium. What will they bring slabbed by PCGS as an error, I wonder? A lot of buzz for an ugly coin.

    (P.S. I love and buy almost only moderns. Just so you know I am not a basha.™)

    It certainly looks like it. The only question is will it be sustained, or a flame out? Only time will tell.

    The governments plan is working well. Free advertising, everyone will want these and then they will eventually spend them and surprise we have circulating dollars.

    I just read this on yahoo.com

    Mint spokeswoman Becky Bailey said it was unknown how many coins didn't have the insciptions. Ron Guth, president
    of Professional Coin Grading Service, one of the world's largest coin authentication companies, said he believes that at
    least 50,000 error coins were put in circulation.

    That was my thinking Russ and I am not complaining. I am glad CU members got the coin at that price, hopefully the coin will stay at $200 for good and they got a bargain.

    It is a feeding frenzy on ebay. I don't think this is sustainable. I could be wrong. image

    Sold 73 last week at avg of $74. Saved 20 for myself, sure is tempting. What the heck, i'm picking up 3 more unopened cases in the morning, but something tells me the well has run dry at the source.

    Governments can print currency. Only the people can print faith in it — and they’re running low on ink.

    I am in the same boat, I have a few on Ebay that are my personal stash to save for posterity. For $325 a coin, I guess posterity has arrived. I have gone through 7 cases this week and not a single smooth edge.

    Yep, there are probably 400,000 of these. These prices are not going to sustain.

    Some people are just clueless. They are estimating that at least 50,000 went into circulation. Here's a link to the story on MSNBC.com this afternoon.
