Serialized with COA? Those are going to fetch a pretty penny.

Already out-bid 3 times within the first half-hour. :lol:


Also looks like somebody in Canada's got the inside hook-up..


eBay prices for the "normal" ones should die down once the initial hoopla is over. Scottsdales are always like that.

I'm holding out for the kilo. ;)


Happy to see they look good in the photos. Though I do notice some small scratches.

The backsides are interesting (photos at Canada eBay listing).


Definitely picking some up at the right price at some point.
 
Apparently I can order them (non-serialized) from Australia & Canada earlier than I can from within the US.

Of course, that whole shipping thing...


Premiums are about what I expected.
 
Serial #499 of 499 is closing in on $300 USD apiece.

With over 1.5 days left of bidding.


Low-premium stackers' heads must be exploding.
 
So should I keep bidding? How high should I go..?

Kidding. :D

I dropped out a loooong time ago.
 
Poor moron who wins those auctions :/
*preordering on PB for extortionate eBay sale*

Believe me, I get the attraction & all that. And I was even one of the early low bidders, knowing full well that I wasn't going to nab them.

But those #499's are getting a little nutty, to say the least. Guessing these could crack $400 apiece.


One could buy a pretty sweet slabbed old coin or two with that kind of scratch. And probably appreciate & enjoy 'em a heck of a lot more, too.

I dunno, maybe I don't truly get it. Different strokes, and all that.


Anyway, curious to see next what the 5-oz #499 will fetch. Assuming Scottsdale will throw it up sometime after these are over.

so where are the other 498 ?

Good question. Been wondering about that, myself.


Are there a few allocated to Scottsdale employees/owners?

And is Scottsdale distributing any small batches to other dealers worldwide, which will be available at the retail level at a certain point? Or are they hoarding them all -- for eBay (US only), and/or their main site (which ships worldwide) ?


Assuming they'll be doing the same for the 5-oz, there will be 3 x 499 = 1,497 of 'em.

Granted, they typically have anywhere between 150 - 225 eBay listings per day, but that's still a lot of auctions for a First Release, and they would only be available in the US.

I can't imagine they'd shut out the rest of the world, though. If they do, that's stupid.


I'm sure they'll be pricey & hard to get, so I'm more than happy with the "normal" ones.
 
Thats just a common laser etching, with common fonts...could be reproduced on the regular rounds extremely easily.

Suckers will buy anything won't they.... :P
