Presidential Oath Dollars -- What do you think the future is for these????

Question

The Presidential Oath could only be obtained at the Denver Mints gift shop. A third party did place the silver seal around the dollars and sent them ANACS and limited them to 1,000. I have heard variying responses within the coin world about these. Some say this is a great bet and if you can find one...get it, while others (You know who I am talking about...those collectors who are always talking down to us regular collectors!) laugh and scream gimmik...which is fine..it is just how they say it.

I do know this for a FACT coin world is doing an article on these coins. I do not know the contents of the article but I coin collector friend of mine was interviewed for the article so I know they are doing one. Sorry this is so long....all opinions are welcome!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

In the short term, there is the possibility that the Oath Dollars could see a run up in price.  Combine the exposure of HSN show, the limited number available, and some of the buzz around the internet as people try to figure these things out.

This could fizzle quickly if the Coin World article doesn't portray these coins in a positive light, or the limited production somehow gets a second edition.

Longer term, these may end up as semi-novelties like colorized State Quarters.

My opinion: tread carefully, doesn't look like a solid long term coin to own.
