Price Performance of 2008 US Mint Products
I recently compiled some data on the price levels for sold out 2008 US Mint products. There are literally dozens of big winners this year, led by the 2008 Proof Silver Eagle and 2008 Proof Set.

Great post, Michael! Wish I had gotten in on the clad proof sets. Also interesting that not many proof plat eagles are on Ebay. Could be a sign that those holding them believe they have enormous growth potential.

Great post on Mint News Blog which made me come hear immediately. I am very interested in the final mintages figures for the Proof Plats. There still isn't any official counts for the proof plat mintages for 2006 and 2007, so we may have to wait 3 years for the final numbers for 2008.. If anyone knows these figures, I would love to know them.When I up-graded my 2008 1/2oz I didn't use my PF69 as a trade and only spent $659. I'm hoping that I'm holding an extra "key date" for the series.
Also, how sure are you on the 2008 proof sets being the lowest mintages since the 50's? If this is true, the Complete set should start to sell for over $100 very soon.

The Red Book has a section on Proof Sets that includes mintages for each year. Looking at just the regular issue proof sets, all of them show mintages greater than 1.4 million. You have to go back to 1959 to get below that number, when the mintage was 1,149,291.
However, the modern proof sets are arguably not comparable since there are multiple set options. For example, this year has a Proof Set, Silver Proof Set, American Legacy Set, State Quarter Proof Set, and Presidential Dollar Proof Set. Nonetheless I do think this year is pretty significant.

I just wrote a blog article about Michael's research, Price Performance of 1/2 Oz. Gold Buffalo Coins, over at Coin Blogger. Why do you think that the half ounce coins performed worse than the other fractional issues?

I've been tracking completed ebay coin sales for the last month or so (I don't track reserve not met or 0 bid). I ran a report against by DB and my numbers look a lot different. Below are average sales prices for all years and multiple grades of platinum coins over the last 30 days. NOTE: I only track PCGS graded coins.

Not sure why - the 1/2 ounce proof will likely have the lowest mintage of all the Gold Buffalos and thus be the most scarce. You would think that would lead to higher values. The certified 1/2 ounce gold is selling for a little more - between 800 and 1000 per coin. It was the last to sell out - is it possible there is some lag time? Maybe it has to catch up with the others...?
As for the uncirculated 1/2 ounce Gold Buffalo, it's still technically available in the double prosperity set - a set which could drive the mintage totals pretty high. It will likely be the fractional with the highest totals. So, the fact that you can still get it and the possible large quantity could be holding it back.

Is it common for these coins to go up in price after the year closes? Is this consistently a good way to make some extra money on ebay?

then as time passes the price usually tapers off to a more realistic value depending on demand and
supply. Try to buy from the saurce, the Mint, if possable. I think many second hand sales of coins
are over priced initially, but real value is in rarity. No one can judge early, the initial popularity a coin may have.
Its an individual's judgement call using mint figures that are available and circumstances affecting the production
and publicity surrounding the promotion of the product. Seek as much information through research, before you buy. Quick turn around on a coin sale on e-bay for quick profit has it's rewards, sometimes, but I prefer the long term.

I agree with you, this is a great time to make some quick bucks. Wish I would have acted on my intuitions instead of my fear of buying a dead horse. Anyway if your a collector of any of these, I wouldn't be buying now......prices will cool down on all of these coins.
