I have a feeling the prices of these will shoot up on online auctions as a) sellers try to cash in on the rarity of the Pope retiring and b) foolish saps lap up said coins at said exorbitant prices. Luckily I've managed to get a few in the last week at well under catalogue value, but I really don't think I'm going to be as lucky in the future. What are your thoughts on it? Anything else you think it might be a good idea to steer clear of?
I have a very bad feeling that there is much more to the Papal retirement than we are thus far aware of. Ill health doesn't pass the smell test. I hope I'm wrong.
Non illegitimis carborundum est. Excellent advice for all coins.

I said that also Phil especially when the only cardinal who can vote from England stepped down amid child abuse allegations. Maybe Jimmy Saville came to him in an epiphany hehe...
