Baseball HOF coin

Now, wouldn't this be funny, wouldn't it? And facts remain, they can do it, and I wouldn't put it past them not to do it with this unique series. Hence why once again I love the Perth Mint. Once a mintage is declared, that's it (I know the re-mint fiasco - before my time). No matter how popular or unpopular, once it is declared, it's done. The fact that this has come up with the U.S. Mint AND has been done before, is quite disconcerting, I'm awfully tempted to begin selling all my coins for a great profit, and keep just a few of each. I'll take the next couple days to think about it.

As was the case with the 2005 Marine Corps Commemorative Silver Dollar, a quick sellout of the coins does satisfy the evidence necessary for the Secretary to make the decision to increase the production limits. In 2005, then Secretary of the Treasury John W. Snow authorized the U.S. Mint to produce 100,000 additional silver dollars. This was the last commemorative program sellout prior to the Hall of Fame coins.

However, the proposal to increase the production of the National Baseball Hall of Fame coins is speculation. This rumor has not been acknowledged by the U.S. Mint or the Department of the Treasury.

I have a couple extras to unload at some point so that would not make me too happy.

Trust me, I know exactly what you mean. I may unload mine. I was planning on keeping my stack for the long term (30 of them). I may only keep a few of each and sell them for 80 - 100 bucks on eBay. If they offer 100K more...that would suck major.

 

[JMelton]

Yea. I'm only keeping one for myself. The rest I was planning on holding for a while. Now I don't know.

Did you love them when they were re-minting some of their coins. If it wasn't for people complaining and stop buying Perth stuffs last year, who would of know what they would do. I think every mint looks at the max profit and at times forget about the collecting part

All I know, is I'm a loyal and faithful follower of the Perth Mint, because they have instituted a policy that once a declared mintage is announced, it is over, no more re-minting. Now the day they rescind that policy, is the day, I'll be done buying massive amount of coins from them. Oh, and the other thing that I think is important is, when the PM says, 500,000 as the max for the kooks, they don't come back 8 months later and go, well, you know, we sold out in record time, let's bump that up to 600k.

Not surprising they would want to try and maximise their profits. But I noticed the coins have been selling closer to their release prices on eBay.

Selling close to their release prices? Um 80, 90 and a 100 ain't close to their release price. LOL. I bought mine for 49.95.

I believe Altima's operative word is "closer" not "close"....just meaning that the prices are coming down....which I believe is normal and will continue to drop on most of these coins.
