| At a paltry mintage of only 25,000 Philly minted pieces, the Mount Rushmore ATB is on pace to beat out the previously sold out Hawaiian Volcanoes from a year earlier. Once a $200 buy from the mint now fetches $500-$600 on the secondary market. |
Another Opportunity?
If you have missed out on the last quick seller, the Hawaiian Volcanoes hockey puck. Then I would highly encourage those that have the extra money for the holidays, to pick up what would be the next highly successful profiting opportunity. At it's release, the Hawaii "P" minted pucks were available through the mint at a price that pales in comparison to what it sells for in the secondary market. As of this writing, the Hawaiian pucks sell raw for anywhere in the $500-600 range. At over 2x the issue price, this was a tremendous buy and sell event that hasn't been seen for a mint issued product since the 25th anniversary American Silver Eagle Set. I anticipate similar action on the Mount Rushmore hockey puck, so it's definitely something that most opportunists should be aware of.
The Value Proposition Driver?
What can be said of the success of the Hawaiian Volcanoes ATB, can also be said of the Mount Rushmore ATB. In that design aesthetics and history plays a huge roll in a product's success The Volcanoes example exhibited a striking design that really popped and fascinated with every design element. Even with the low relief technology, both the Hawaiian Volcanoes and Mount Rushmore excelled in one thing, utilizing fresh design with 3D looks. What we have are the hallmarks of a successful product with "just right" mintage figures. I anticipate a sellout this week. Thank the timely holiday release with a hot design, because this was the perfect scenario for what will be a money maker.
