Its just crazy that they would only sell 10000 of them when they are making so much money. The after market prices are already pretty good on ebay. The pcgs pr70s are going for $2800 and selling on ebay. The raw coin is already around 21 to $2200. I could see them going to 1 per household next year. Then they will really become exposive. I only bought 2, but I now wish I had bought the limit. Can't wait for next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-30362166810796167412010-09-05T22:50:29.110-07:002010-09-05T22:50:29.110-07:00To the last person who posted.

I called the Mint and asked what was up and they told me that my credit card was denied. I checked it out and apparently my card had expired about a week before. Instead of letting me know my card was denied, they just cancel my order with no email or explanation. I wouldn't have ever known if I didn't call. I would definately check with your credit card or debit card company and see if anything is up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-88817664940395493772010-09-04T23:05:56.341-07:002010-09-04T23:05:56.341-07:00For some reason my last order got cut off.

A sealed coin would sell on ebay for more due to the fact that it guarentees the buyer that the coin hasn't been cherry picked. Also, if the buyer wants to send it off to get graded, it would qualify for a early release or first strike if its sealed. Although, since this coin sold out in the first week, I guess they would all be early releases... I think you could expect a hundred more for a sealed coin by next year. Anyway, I opened mine and they turned out to be in perfect condition. I think that you can expect to get about $2500 for each of these coins by next year even if they are opened. However, you might want to invest in a PCGS membership and send them off to get graded. If you get a pr70, you could expect to get $3000 per coin on ebay. Remember fees though. You will pay around $200 in fees on a $2500 sale on ebay. I would open them and inspect the coins with gloved hands. At least then you will know the condition and that the actual coins are in the box. This is all just my opinion, but I hope it helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-1915524962724966652010-08-29T19:21:36.428-07:002010-08-29T19:21:36.428-07:00If you don't plan to keep it, leaving it seale...If you don't plan to keep it, leaving it sealed is your best bet. That way, if it has any problems, you were not aware of them and the buyer can't hold you accountable. Plus, so many people are obsessed with the silly "First Strike" or "Early Release" nonsense, the sealed box will qualify it for that status and make it more valuable in those people's eyes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-6914370765314062722010-08-28T12:52:37.269-07:002010-08-28T12:52:37.269-07:00I received my 2010 Platinum proof eagle from the m...I received my 2010 Platinum proof eagle from the mint last week.

After fees, that represents about $450 profit per coin. My guess is that it will take at least that long with the 2010s as well. Right now, they have sold a few on ebay for $2100 or so. Not much profit after fees at that price. Although, HSN has sold out of their 29 anacs pr70s 2010 PEs for $3800 each. Wish I had HSN's selling power.
