I thought this was interesting. US Mint sent this out today. I don't think I have enough Money.

Did you look at the coins. Most are just mine run eagles that have been designated and labeled as the last ones struck. The label collectors might be interested. I wonder how these got from the mint to the label makers and then to the auction house. The mint had to take special care to identify them as they were being struck, like 12th from the last, and so on.

 

Likely going to be very strong prices for these

 

I will be heavily involved in this US Mint offering.....

 

Mint? Bah!

 

Has the mint done this sort of thing in the past? I don't remember seeing that before.

 

No thanks

 

The GSA, wasn’t exactly the same though. World mints have done it which is the lead they’re following.

 

This may float someone's boat, but not mine.

 

I decided to watch several of the AGEs being offered. So far, prices are way too high as folks here have noted. Too rich for my blood.

 

My My.

Sold $85,000

LOT DESCRIPTION

The Very Last Classic Silver Eagle Struck

The Capstone to 35 Years of Production

2021 American 1 Ounce Silver Eagle at Dawn and at Dusk 35th Anniversary Coin. Classic Design, Heraldic Eagle. The VERY LAST Silver Eagle Struck. MS-70 (NGC)

 

Its not surprising that the first and last of the designs were incredibly expensive. The only real shock is that the mint chose NGC for these when the goal was to maximize the sale price

 

Another gimmick to get your money. Ten to twenty years from now no one will care.

 

20 years from now they'll find out that the mint guys who came in after the celebs left to tear down the setup ran off another 20 coins.

 

Yeah, my guess is that someone somewhere has the real first and last Struck of the series.

 

Surely you aren't insinuating it would have sold for more with the competition's sticker on it. There is one last, only one last, and will forever be one last, the competition would have been the same if I graded it and gave it a 68 3/4.

 

It almost certainly would have. PCGS moderns basically always do better even on special things like these and there are just simply a lot of buyers that do not like the NGC holder. Whether or not these could be crossed without losing the designation is unclear, but I wouldnt be surprised if some of them did get crossed if they would keep the designation

 

You have it worse than I thought.

 

Paying attention to market values and buying patterns? Guilty as charged

 

It's just plastic, without the coin, it's worthless.
