I'm weak...
1st one cracked... but I'm sticking with one a day


48.1g (yeah I picked the lightest 1st)


Black Core...

1913 Type 1 Buff in 9.4 or MS64 About $90 coin...
Still, I'm not unhappy even if I already have one in MS64 (toned as well)

 

Not terrible.
It's got about a 15° die rotation.

 

Ok here she is 1900-s Morgan purple core 9.2. Pretty happy $425 buy back on Ebay at $575 and $650

 

This seems real gimmicky. These have that new NGC grading scale too...
What's the significance of a purple core or black core?

 

the rarities get purple core

 

Got it. I guess NGC will do custom labels and slabs for any company with the money to pay.
I'm surprised this doesn't get shut down as an illegal lottery.

 

When card packs are outlawed, only outlaws will have card packs.

 

I guess that's a fair comparison, though trading card companies manufacture the rarity of a card, but collectors assign the value.
These coins have an established value already. Seems more like a 50/50 raffle.

 

Or prizes at a carnival.

 

I will never in my life pay for anything sight unseen, period. Also, I thought NGC would have gotten rid of that 10 point system by now. I refuse to ever buy anything graded that way, or to pay to have anything graded that way. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

I guess this is their way to try to get these coins out to the collecting community. I don't much care if I ever own one.

 

Makes me wonder how much the seller is making.

 

Well I guess being the 7th release and all sell out in 3-4 hours I guess Im glad there's much hate on these! I'm not a fan of scratch lottery or the US Mint coins. So as my father always told me your pig pork it as you see fit. This one 5 mil in 3 hours love to see the crashes at the mint lol!

 

Impossible to know without knowing how much they actually paid for the coins. https://coinweek.com/box-breaks-for-coins-questions-answers-and-numbers-on-vaultbox-series-1/ has a spreadsheet from Series 1 of all the coins and NGC values. 800 boxes sold at $595 = $476000 net sales. The total NGC value in that spreadsheet is $578675, so you know they didn't sell them at a loss. If they paid 50% of NGC price, they earned $289338 (minus packaging costs etc). I'd guess Series 1 was probably less profitable as a teaser for the rest of the series, but who knows.

 

I'm sure they do sell well to a certain collector. Not for me though.
I collect certain series and buying a grab bag isn't a way to fill the holes.

 

Which means squat in the Numismatic Market.
Now, if the value was based on Wholesale Greysheet value, I may nod in favor of transparency.

 

Day 2 /3 ? was just looking I'll guess 2= maybe a half or Ike? Day 3 I'm in on a morgan Go Purple!!

 

You can download the spreadsheet from the article and fill in the Greysheet. Let us know what you come up with.
