In reply to Rich. Rich: I assume “Superman” licensing royalties are a part of the sales price as some here have mentioned, and not higher premiums above spot as Cag postulates for all Mint gold offerings….hopefully the next few releases will be at current grid levels…

I believe the 2025 1/2 oz. Gold American Eagle Proof launch price of $1,950 on 3/20/2025 was the highest priced 1/2 oz. gold coin ever launched by the Mint, prior to the tomorrow’s (7/24/2025) launch of the Superman 1/2 oz. gold coin. The Superman gold coin launch price of $2,710 will be priced $760 higher than the 2025 American Eagle 1/2 oz. gold coin launch price. Here is a comparison of the Mint’s pricing of their 1/2 oz. gold coins for the average gold price range of $3,350.00 to $3,399.99:

1/2 oz. 22K Gold American Eagle Proof = $2,150
1/2 oz. 24K Gold First Spouses Proof = $2,180
1/2 oz. 24K Gold Sacagawea Proof = $2,200
1/2 oz. 24K Gold Comic Arts Proof = $2,710

In reply to Rick. The good thing with all these exclusive labels is a coin is included with them. Lol. $3500-$4000 for the sac. Au coin! Wow, but no thanks.

In reply to REB. Man have they decreased in value! To think I was going to spend $35K on a 70, but didn't, and now it's only $21K. I still don't like the games the mints playing with all these 'rare' privy coins. Caveat Emptor!

USM posts a lot of real-time relevant info and videos on Facebook (a necessary evil sometimes).., probably in the next week or so, they should start to pump it’s release, and perhaps we’ll see a teaser video, or a trial strike,

There’s a shopped photo of the 2.5 SuperDude medal, and the device looks like it is polished.., A polished SuperDude on the 2.5 snooz/er would be sharp,

I am not in, though know JQC will be in for a Baker’s Dozen… ;7

REB,

Here’s how the typical FS/FDI/AR aftermarket pricing schedule works.

OGP from the Mint $109
First Strike 69 $150
First Strike 70 $250
First Day Issue 70 $350
Advanced Release 70 $500

The power of modern plastic.

Cheers
