    straight out of the gates they want $1000... excuse me not even out
    of the stable yet pre sale... i said a boom... up.... sidya.... head - boomupsidyahead
    coin ships END OF APRIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    how bout i just give you my cc and you just deduct 50 bucks every time any mint even
    scribble scrabbles a damn doodle

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350730393274&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123

    on a more sane lighter sidenote a freedom girl proof went off at auction for about $90 ship included which is actually
    not too shabby but not redunkulous

    you know it's obviously obvious this is a st8 up tiffany imitator what they should have done is set the mintage
    not at 999 but at 1000... just that little bit would actually psychologically make a bit of difference

    you see we have the 2 all beef patty special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onions... but you see we DON'T have the seasame
    seed bun... they have the golden arches... we have the golden arcs :lol:

    all this said this coin probably will still look awesome

    This is very nice, and it is obviosly a Tiffany Art copy.
    The opening price is like if this coin was a Tiffany but it is not!
    I would like to see the quality of the coin before paying so much, because probably this is not made by CIT (they would never make such an evident Tiffany copy risking to spoil the very successful series), and I doubt that another mint is able to reproduce the high level of details featured on Tiffany coins.
    By the way, which mint is making this coin? I hope that is not the Polish Mint which is absolutely not at same level of CIT / BH Mayer. We saw already the Amber Room coin they made... in proof quality finish... what a joke!

    Nice looking coin. I'm not collecting that series for obvious reasons.

    Pela-coins has it on presale for 399Euro which is about $520US....considerably lower than the early ebay listings.

    http://www.pela-coins.eu/index.php?pec=wiecej&id_n=484

    I've purchased from Pela before without a problem. Just my experience, do your own due diligence.

    thanks Alex for point out amber not being put out from same as tiffany... hadn't even really investigated the amber series
    at any depth and was assuming it was the same... definitely relevant info for me

    500ish seems more in the range on this coin imo
    far as risk reward goes... there's probably a 400 floor
    just like on the amber chamber w/ proper upside
    being 1st in series and potentially stellar looking

    My opinion, the Tiffany is "The Ferrari" of the coins. The copies are only ordinary cars painted in red ;)
    I am not saying that Crystal Art doesn't have potential and could grow in price as well, but Tiffany is "The Series" (look at prices for 2004-2005 Tiffany issues) I would buy no doubt, others are copies.

    I hope you people realise that the "Tiffany fart " coins
    ARE NOT associated with the real Tiffany & Co ;)

    LOL, yes, I think that collectors can't care less about Tiffany & Co. but only like the coins! ;)

    This coin fills the bill perfectly for me. I need some ballast to put in the boot of my new Bentley so I can attain that "just right" aerodynamic trim and balance. Count me in!

    Yes, I can't understand why people on ebay don't check their favourite sellers online stores, most of the time price is cheaper there cause they don't pay fees.
