I see that the LOC Bi-metallic proofs in OGP are going for around $925 on fleabay. If they have approx. .25 oz of gold and same for plat. that's not too much over approx. spot ($750). They are great looking coins.

Do you all think that the proofs will do well in the long term or that they are mostly related to spot?

The Uncs. still seem high. Wonder if they'll come down at all.
Thanks for any insight!

    There are substantially more PROOFs than UNCs. The PROOF is probably just a matter of bullion and beauty (yeah, I really think they are beautiful, and for the time being unique in the US Coin series). The UNC is a fairly low mintage coin and deserves to be priced substantially higher than the PROOF, I believe it should be higher than it is, but that's just my opinion.

    I think it's really uncertain if the proofs will appreciate much over spot in years to come, but they are beautiful coins, and worth having. I've had my eye on them for a long time. The Uncs are too rich for my blood.

    i ask myself this question. what would a dealer pay if you walked one into a store?

    so that is what you should be looking to score one at.

    They've been selling for around $900 for the past year that I've been watching.

    If it's one you like, get it. I think it'll at least hold it's value.
