Who is in on the 2010 proof AGEs this week? What is the best "play".

fivecentsfivecents Posts: 11,207 ✭✭✭✭✭
I was thinking the half and tenth ounce.

What are the mintages of each denominations?

    No matter how hard I try, I just can't figure a reason to be terribly aggressive with these.

    OK, what am I missing?

    What have you seen for the Mint this year that you have gone for or will go for Mitch?

    I value your judgement.

    Not too much this year Miles. Of course, the proof platinums and a "light" helping of some spouse coins. But, my expenditures to the Mint are just a tiny fraction of 2008 levels. I know that is also the case for many other folks as well.

    The 2009 Margaret Taylor first spouse could be a low mintage future player.

    Mitch..these 2010 AGE proofs should sell out quick. Won't goldline be buying the crap out of them straight from the mint?

    They have a much higher mintage limit than yearly sales have traditionally totaled.


    not a hot flip.

    I reckon they will be worth at grade PR70DCAM spot plus 20% on the best day. Save your money, these Eagles are crap. In fact, there isn't a single PR70DCAM Gold Eagle that is worth more than 20% over spot and you are a FOOL if you pay more.

    How about the hockey pucks? I think these may be overlooked and are an interesting play. It will be a beautiful series and mintages for these could decline just like the first spouses.

    I highly recommend you stock up. I have heard rumors that not only is the cost of the puck going to skyrocket but the Obamacare program is rumored to not include any puck related injury coverage.

    Maybe it's time to puck up.

    I figured something like needing $1750 to break even after pcgs fee, FS fee, ebay fee, paypal fee. You're outlay is almost $1600 to try, buying 10 to have a reasonable chance of a couple 70's puts you back $16,000.


    I think you can make money, but you need volume, which means large outlays of money. This pretty much squeezes out the little guy.

    "Mitch..these 2010 AGE proofs should sell out quick. Won't goldline be buying the crap out of them straight from the mint?"

    Fivecents - I can't speak for what Goldline might or might not do, but, it appears proof gold has been available for the past month within 5%-10% in price of the anticipated mint asking price (and at times for even less). Again, I am having a very hard time trying to convince myself to buy these coins. I am still searching for a reason.

    The decrease in proof gold was due to the anticipated release (and supply) of these AGEs from the Mint. If they sell out quickly, shouldn't there be a pop in the proof gold market?

    No guarantees, but I think the best play is to sit back and wait for the proof Silver Eagles.

    Ian: On the other hand, what if the US Mint decides to produce the 2011 proof gold earlier in the 2011 year than October (say March or April for example)? And, the mintage of these 2010 coins is enormous compared to mintages spanning the last 10-15 years of proof gold - right?

    On the other hand, if these coins sell out ASAP, then there is the possibility of a nice move up in proof gold levels... that sounds logical to me.

    What to do ....

    I think these will sell out.

    I also think a FS 70 will sell nicely. (u won't lose money).

    The question for me is, is it worth the hassle. You give my 10 70's at cost, I'm in, 10 - 69's, wasting my time.

    that's not happening on the Buchanan's Liberty FS 70's....


    The proof buff's sold just above cost for a small profit, but gold was in the 1100s, not 1300s.


    I'm thinking as the price of gold higher now, the premium people are comfortable paying is smaller.... making a cost effective flip even harder.


    And I'm still going to say: the mintage limit is a lot, lot higher than previous years sales have totaled. I do not predict a sell out at all. There are more cost effective gold coins than the proofs... the AGE bullion.

    To put this in perspective, those of you that bought yor 2009 and 2010 Proofs at $1792, at current platinum spot pricing:

    You would now pay $1992 per coin and if platinum inches to $1750, you would pay $2092!

    I hear that, $1500 oz is only 10% from here and could happen by the end of the year. That would make these melt.....if only we knew.

    But still, the up front cost is high and what's the demand going to be? The client base is getting smaller for this kind of cash.

    Let's see, approx. 45,000 to 67,000 units across 4-coin sets and individual coins per denomination versus around 4,000/7,000 for a half ounce gold Spouse "Buck" in MS /Proof? Both are classic designs but one seems to be a longterm no-brainer and the other is just a bullion play....which doesn't seem so bad these days considering some predictions out there.

    Two reasons. Common proof Silver Eagles are currently fetching higher prices than the $45.95 the Mint is charging for the 2010's, so downside risk is low. Also, potential low mintage -- announcement, striking and sales are taking place very late in the year, so total mintage could possibly be under 500,000, which is where premiums to the common date price begin to appear.

    Those of you considering buying the AGE's, it would behoove you to buy them before Noon 10/13. Gold is on a roll & at the rate it's climbing, a reprice is likely for next week.
    Possible: 1 oz $1635
    1/2oz $831
    1/4oz $428
    1/10oz $185.50

    OPA's comment is one reason I may pick up a few more coins that I originally planned a few days ago. I was pleased to at least see the pricing at $1,585 vs. $1,635. That is a decent difference. This is just my 2 cents ... although I can still see the arguments for waiting for the next US Mint product too and skipping these all together. Not to mention the latest level on spot gold, which did surprise me this morning.

    Disagree with Mitch's premise. I think the mint will be producing Unc Eagles for the bullion market if gold continues to rise. They will then postpone or move any proof production to alter in the year.

    The way I look at it not a lot of downside on the proof eagles at the moment. On the flip side, not huge upside, but certainly some.

    "22 oz ordered + a few more from the parents address"

    Segoja - When I saw your posting on the other thread related to AGE coins, I actually that you may have AGREED with my earlier statement of having difficulty finding a reason to be terribly aggressive with these. Obviously, if both of us were being "terribly aggressive", we could have ordered more than roughly (25) ozs - no?

    But, as I stated later on, I was pleased to see the Mint price at $1585/oz instead of $1,635/oz and while I am still not "terribly aggressive" right now, I did reverse an earlier personal position of mine to not buy any.
