    Nope. With them minting to demand I can't see how this will end up anything more than a bullion coin.

    I'd like to get one. What I'll probably do is sit on the fence for a while, then gold will spike, the prices will be adjusted, sales will drop, and I'll feel like I have to get one then since mintages will be lower than expected. Then I'll watch as the prices drop on the secondary market in 2010.

    True but it is a fantastic looking coin and might be worth having one. It will be much cheaper and better looking than the original. image

    I buy too many other sparklies from the US Mint as it is, so no.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    With no mintage limit will the mint run out of gold again or will the $1000 per coin be enough to keep sales in check in this economy image
  • TrustNo1TrustNo1 Posts: 1,359 ✭
    anyone care to guess on the price based on current gold prices? I know it will change but rough idea

    It depends on what the mint charges for them. Essentially they will become bullion coins and it may pay to wait to buy them in a couple of years on the secondary market.

    Looking at their current prices, I can see this round selling for $1150-$1200.

    I'm in for one.

    I want one. Its to have, hold and enjoy. Not to put away, never see and leave to someone else.

    I think that an original would be fun to own but ...............

    If possible I will buy two more and put those away.

    Yes.

    If you like the feel of a British 1 Pound coin because of its extra thickness, this one will feel even cooler (if you should decide to handle it).

    Do you really prefer that flat relief which was not the intention of Gaudens to begin with?

    Nothing special...ygtbsm! Original Saints are great but easily to be had. The UHR will be easily had too...if you have the cash. The thought of the Mint will make this special coin and being able to own something so outrageous in a day of uber flat coinage is a dream come true. I just remember when I use to send the Mint a few bucks in January, get a "lotto" number in the spring and get a proof set in plastic wrap sometime in the fall. And I tolerated it. Granted the Mint has gone overboard with the sale of SQ spoons, dies, blah, blah, blah. It find it refreshing that the Mint is seeing the error in their ways and is gettig rid of the garbage.

    I'll be buying one of these UHR's.

    Give me high relief, or give me death.

    Good point.
    Those 1907-1933 coins are so flat, they resemble poker chips.

    will these be easier/harder to grade than a normal saint?

    I don't know if they will be easier to grade but I think they will have to have a new slab due to the thickness of the coin

    I agree, that's why I need to get 4 of em. 3 for plastic and 1 just to be able to hold
