westphalia1 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Do new (or early release) world government mint coins automatically go "up" in value as soon as they enter the secondary market? I am refering to new releases with low mintage quantities-like below 20,000. I am in the USA and am curious about some of the Australian, Chinese and other international coins that are new for 2013 or scheduled to be released. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 The short answer is no. Keep in mind though that there are always people willing to pay a premium to be the first in line to get a new item, whatever it may be, so prices realized on online auctions in the first week or two that an item is available may be at a significant premium to true market value.

Steve D'Ippolito Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I don't know how many here remember that a Sacajawea dollar got out a couple of weeks early by mistake, and people bid simply stupid money on it, despite the fact that waiting two weeks would render it butt-common.
