I have a lot of the coins you posted. |
Unfortunately, my collecting focus the last couple years really shifted to statues more than anything else so I just haven't been keeping an eye on the collector coin market like I used too. I have been spending our precious metal savings on just plain bullion. I say unfortunately because there have been some amazing collector coins released over the last couple of years that I wound up missing out on.
In particular, the Norse Gods and Goddeses of Olympus sets by Perth Mint are absoutely stunning and have risen in value significanly. Currrent prices on Apmex are $550 for Zues, $450 for Poseidon, $350 for Hades and the Goddesses are averaging around $400 each. All initially sold for less than $150 through the Perth Mint. And I am absolutely LOVING that 2oz high relief design that the Perth mint is using for those sets. Those are some of the nicest looking collectors coins I have seen to date.
Thankfully, I had 3 statues delivered in January and I have 5 statues that will be delivered at the end of February so once March hits, my hobby purchasing options open up considerably. And I am cutting way back on the number of statues I purchase this year so I will definitely be keeping my eye on this market again. I do have to admit, the Captain America Shield coin I purchased was one of the nicest collectors coins I have purchased to date. I just love how its curved like his shield.
