  Why would a person think they would get bids at $599, when prices realized have often been below that? Someone might bid or buy at that price sooner or later, but the market is volatile. Some Jefferson spouse coins have traded for below $500. It would help to do a few searches before pricing. There was/is a proof for sale at $600 on BST delivered. If one wants immediate action, set the price towards the low end of the range, undercutting the others. If one just wants to "go fishing" hoping to land a buyer, price them where ever you want. $649 is near the top end of the range, not conservative.
  
  Considering the collapse in prices for the first two issues, where early buyers paid $700 to $800 and now are getting close to issue price after all fees and shipping, secondary market buyers are naturally a bit more cautious on this third coin.

  The market is not yet defined. I haven't even received mine yet! But when I do I may or may not decide to sell. I guess the prices indicate heavy early anticipation, but what happens when all of us who have a fulfilled Mint order decide to sell? I think this is a nascent market and the final value is indeterminible. BTW: I am amenable to any pre-bid offerings for my unshipped coins!

  One will need stock to sell and with the limit of 2 coins not one dealer or flipper will have enough on hand. HSN will go crazy soon I will say to start 1,395.00 with 5 pay.
