These are coins that were not taken up by the first round ballot winners, all coins were placed in another second round ballot only for people who did not win first round ballot.

Good luck to you.

Not all successful ballot winners took up their offer, so some left over for others who missed out.

It looks like the initial "Panic" has ended on eBay.
These were selling for 700/800 now there is one listed at $455 with no bids.

[runway]

$100 is still way too much to pay for this coin I reckon ... subscription coins always have most listed on greedbay and that sux for true collectors who missed out.

My coin arrived and it wasnt too bad really. Not somthing that I normally collect but I think I got caught up in the hype so will put it away for the kids. I got number 4558.

One thing I did notice is that it wasnt loose in the box like many others have said but still secure in its container. Overall a nice coin.

Best chuck it on greedbay if not a collector and put the profit in kids bank account

 I wouldn't give that site the satisfaction of the business to profit from this. It was too hard to get. I think Ill keep it, who knows, it may kick off something larger for the collection.......

If anything, I would gift it to a serious collector like my father if it ever became a bother..

I should clarify here that I do collect coins but mainly the 20c and 50c coins. This $10 coin is a solo artists among lesser denominations in my home.
