A question about ANACS and HSN

It depends on the margin.

I don't want to sell 4579 anythings @ $130 if they cost $140 each. But I understand your point in this case, and it's well made.

 

Are these the same numbers you saw ? The ANACS site can be a bit quirky...

64 - 3
65 - 0
66 - 4
67 - 22
68 - 166
69 - 210
70 - 10
total 315

That works out to about 3.2% 70s, but that's for Bald Eagle commems. I didn't see 2008 Eagle proofs listed, just MS.

 

All intended to discourage you and make you give up. I'm glad you stuck with it.

It's another case of "bait and switch". They talk one thing, show you something different, and ship something else (which more closely matches the talk, not the visual). The talk is characterized by what they don't say; my guess is they never mentioned it was an NGC coin, but rather that it was "professionally certified" - so Brand X fits the bill.

That might be the case in this thread. Did the talk specifically mention a 70 coin, or did they just talk talk talk and flash a 70 coin ?

 

You are right. I realized that some time after making that post. It depends on the unit price that one has sunk into the coins. I made the assumption that the unit price paid for the coins would be considerably less than the asking price in either case.

 

I guess making more and charging less is the way to go, it get,s more people opening up
There wallets!...LOL

 

I re-watched the show and figured out the Limited Edition thing. It's a First Day of Issue Limited edition. Meczack says in the show that they had to buy 20,000 coins in order to get the 4579. Thing is, if you do the math that means that almost 25% of the coins grade PF-70 so how limited is that actually? Even if ANACS graded as strictly as PCGS, 25% is common by anyone's standards.

 

Read the post earlier, they probably are using another "PF70" grading service!

 

It is all semantics. Marketing 101. TC

 

I think that HSN should promote the PF65. They are rarer than the PF70!
