You mean that Goodacre Sacs haven't hit $15,000 yet? :Q

[shirohniichan]

I found this one on eBay today.

 

Let's see if it shoots past $700 to the prophesied $5,000 to $15,000 mark by closing time tomorrow.

Perhaps if it were one of the gold Sackies that flew on the Space Shuttle? (Then it might be worth $250 or more! )

Prophecy:

 

If you can get a Goodacre dollar for $650 go for it. That is an EXTREMELY good buy that falls just below the lower band in the market structure. Good luck though--every few weeks a $650 comes up and is bought up before being available through the search function for more than 20 minutes. $850 for a signed presentation dollar is also a pretty good price. I would recommend paying about $700 for one. I think we're looking at either a) exponential growth to $5K (remember, the price went from $460 to $760 between Dec. 25th 2000 and Jan 5 2001 and could happen again) but I would say more likely b) fairly steady growth coming up to $1500-$2000 ($2000-$2500 for signed) by the end of the series in a few years.

 

eBay results for signed Goodacre Sac today: $377

 

Now we need to hunt down and stone the false prophet.

if you are going to buy a coin in the slab say for $377.00 i would like it to be worth at least 70% of its value $264.00 out of the slab

 

if not then let the buyer beware

Please note that this was a Goodacre in a signed slab. They sell for more than one in an unsigned holder or one out of a holder. Making sure a coin in question is really a Goodacre presentation coin is part of the problem, so you'd have to find a buyer with enough expertise to see the coin in question in person and pay accordingly.

 

I chose this example as another "flash in the pan" coin. I see prices continuing to go down on these.
