It is my intent to pass this coin down to my son and hopefully he will do the same. Every time I pull this coin out of my safe, I feel privileged to be on of 115,000 to own it.

How many other countries have made anything come close to the UHR? with a relief so high and the feilds so deep...I'm sure other countries could make something like this but they won't.. Not even China with all there knockoffs. Plus you won't get those scam artists from private mints who try to sucker newbs to buy there clad replicas..<br /><br />People shouldn't knock the 27ML..<br /> The Mint wanted the thickest softest metal to strike the highest relief possible. You wouldn't get that kinda relief on a 34.. Unless it was a two ounce coin, and with that much gold it's almost unrelaistic for the practicle idea of circulation.. I'ts almost a mircale the old design was even minted and circulated considering Aygustas was practially on his deathbed with cancer when he completed the plasters for the coin to be minted. No one today would of had the gonads to be able to work through the pain and suffering Augusus went through when designing this coin. And for today. It being minted in his purist original form is even more of a miracle.. These coins almost shouldn't of ever existed.. Even as an ameture collector of only 7 years I know my history with this design since it is easily my favorite coin. Those of you who have any doubts about the UHR should do there homework and maybe learn a little something about the hobby and the coin, and the hard work and sacarfice it took to make it a reality...<br /><br />SpiffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-41644939925865057532010-01-18T16:50:40.720-08:002010-01-18T16:50:40.720-08:00The UHR:

The very fact of selling the coin removes its scarcity. Those who buy can also be willing to sell. Just like coin dealers do every day. People sell for many reasons. Just because a few say they will hold a coin forever doesn't mean they will. This coin will always be a special coin, but certainly not worth double its bullion value.

A 1999 silver proof set didn't tie up anyones serious assets so few would sell. Once the investors sell in the next few months, the coin will become scarce and the value will skyrocket.

At the end of this year, most people expect $1400 to 1600.<br /><br />Jim Rickards (respected economist) was on CNBC, and he mentioned that on the basis of fundamentals alone, gold should be $2000, and the price may be set at $4000 to $11,000 if we are to use gold as true monetary metal.<br /><br />The bottom line; keep collecting your silver and gold coins and HOLD ON TO them.
