The question is, will this coin sell out quickly? First hour? First day?
dealers are offering 50 dollars over purchase price—-1st hour!!!
Which dealers? I need to get in on that offer.
this will not sellout.
1) the edition size is 100k (gold dime had 120k edition size). So both are pretty similar.
2) gold dime has an order limit of 10, this only has 1.
3) this quarter will be much more expensive given the size.
When you add up all those factors, this coin will not be soldout quickly like the dime. I am surprised how high they made the edition size, it should have been 50k or even 25k, given the limit on 1 per household and priced much higher than the dime.
