As I have said in other posts, when a "rare" item suddenly appears on the
market in multiple examples, it's a good sign that a substantial portion of
the mintage has finally been "released." When that happens the bottom drops
out of the market, and there are many examples of this in numismatics over
the past forty years, even one in U.S. coins, the 1903-O dollar.

How low will they go? At this point it's a poker game. You now have to
weigh that against your patience in acquiring one of these. You and you
alone have to make the call.

If that ends up happening, I'm still not sure I want to buy it even at
20-25$ for it, would you suggest I hold off for a bit as they are starting
to become common? That same seller has some in his store, he'll sell 8 for
150, or them at 25 each. He has several, he won't likely sell out any time
soon...

That's an excellent sign that the floodgates have opened, and the seller

trying to cash in while the catalog is still way high. Likely as not the
four lower denominations will plummet in price as pent-up demand is
satisfied and the coins become common. Look for them to reach
equilibrium
at a couple dollars apiece in Unc.

About those coins coming up at better prices... Mozambique 1 centimo
came
up for 19.95, and the seller has several with a 24.95 BIN price on it.
Looks like that's a good price for this coin, way below catalog. Maybe
in
time the other ones issued in 1975 will show up at good prices.

Cheers,
