To all my fellow coin enthusiasts, it is so refreshing to see online comments that are insightful, upbeat and complimentary. I’ll now add my two cents and hope for the best. As far as eye catching, I do believe that the 2016 gold trio are better than expected examples of what the mint has released over the past few years. I, for one, thought that the 2014 Baseball and JFK coins were also better than expected, but we can probably all agree that some of their other releases are close to dreadful. Some of the awful recent items include the National Park and Mark Twain coins. I hate to admit it, but our neighbors to the north have a mint that outshines ours, releasing a number of unique, handsome and exceptional coins on a regular basis. Now on the subject of numismatics versus speculation (like dog lovers or cat lovers), I think I will leave that topic alone as both pursuits have their pros and cons.

Christopher Williams –

The US Mint really should tell Mezack to stop saying he has their new coins before they are even issued! I wish they would sue him. It is simply not fair to the naive beginners who buy from him & HSN.

Happy collecting!

Christopher Williams –

I saw Mezack on HSN at 1am live coin show today & at 7pm live show & he said he had 178 of these ANACS graded coins & had already sold 45 of them & never once said they are a “pre-sale” coin. What a ripoff at $1799.95 plus S&H plus state sales tax if applicable!

Little bit of a price break due to this weeks sell off. Maybe we will see this priced at $865.

Predictions for gold rising to $1,400 after the election are not out of line. It will continue to be a bullish time for gold and as a result will make this coin more expensive at issue.

In reply to Seth Riesling.

Joera and Seth,

I think you can win that argument Joera. Your not spending money, your saving or investing money into savings. It’s just not in a bank account (which gives you no return).
It’s all in how you approach it. Tell her it’s like buying a GOLDEN Savings Bond! ; )
