The lack of secondary market premiums for the Puerto Rico products will slow sales for Guam. Then, once they sell out at levels less than those seen by the District of Columbia, those of us who did buy them will be sitting pretty while the other guys will be kicking themselves. The insanely low mintage of Guam will only compound the demand for all Guam quarter products after sell out.<br /><br />And by the way, to anyone who believes the message posted on the Mint website that states the Guam 1000 coin bags are "temporarily unavailable", I can only think of the quote by the late, great John Candy: "If they told you wolverines would make good house pets, would you believe them?" :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-31645128178178412062009-06-02T23:03:35.684-07:002009-06-02T23:03:35.684-07:00I think they will sell out by friday.

To think that if 88 million americans had just one of these quarters each, they would be gone. I know that won't happen because I bought about 5000 of them. :) If the production of the rolls and bags is about the same as the PR quarter, that would mean that 10% of all of the Guam quarters will be in US mint 1000 coin bags, 100 coin bags and 2 Roll Sets.

There were only 1000 bags from each mint. Is it possible that the rarity of the bag itself is the cause for such speculation? Also, who knows what the mintage on the Guam Quarter will be. It could be a really low number which would make all the Guam options a potential profit maker.

I also don't believe the 1000-count bag itself is a collectible. I would imagine people order it because it's the most cost effective way of getting the quarters in bulk.<br /><br />That said, I think as soon as the rolls and mini-bags sell out, which may take two months, the prices will go up, possibly steeply. It all depends on the final mint numbers which could be under 40M. That 2009-P dime auction is indicative of the hysteria surrounding the 2009 coins.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-66520490422341825632009-05-28T13:47:33.186-07:002009-05-28T13:47:33.186-07:00Actually, I just like to hear myself rant.

Everyone including myself who made 2000% or more on a roll of fifty new pennies made a bundle. But these were rare (stamped/cancelled first day) and highly sought after. A bunch of Guam quarters does not meet those requirements. Maybe because its directly from the Mint makes it worth something... but I think for most people, that's worth little. The Mint wrappers on the two-roll penny sets in unopened boxes do make those worth something but that is because we haven't had new designs on the penny for 50 years and for the birthplace pennies, there was a small amount of those boxes sold. The Guam quarter is the 53rd new quarter design since 1998... not special.Lasloohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11869376645350635619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-28598626780622214152009-05-28T12:55:13.057-07:002009-05-28T12:55:13.057-07:00I think you might be overreacting a little bit.
