9:45 a.m. New York.... National collectors mint has located 3,887 of the LAST remaining US govt silver dollars in existence... (Cue 1980s footage of guard opening staged vault)
I guess they figure if they've captured your imagination this far, using an exclamation point at the end of price guaranteed for *only* 7 days makes the guarantee seem great?
While they are showing what might be an uncirculated coin, they do say that they are Fine or better or Fine to Uncirculated, as I recall.
Wonder why they don't sell it to China?....Probably because China has found it easy to invest in mines in other parts of the world. The image here shows extensive mining investments made by the Chinese in Africa alone, you can google the differential in the various metals, but PMs are part of it. http://www.mining.com/wp-content/up...g-Africas-mining-landscape-2006-2015-maps.jpg
I can't remember far enough back to the first time I saw that commercial. I will say, it's been quite a few years since I even watched TV enough to see one....
The image of the East River at Pier 17 is old. That's a shot of the old South Street Seaport which no longer is there. Well it still is but no longer looks like that. Renovation going on. This will be the new Pier 17
I believe it said they were guaranteed to be AU or better. At a melt value of over 14 plus some premium for being Morgans, the price isn't extremely bad depending on what you get . Common 1921s are getting bid up past $21 plus shipping on eBay today. But I imagine most people could find better ones for less. The margins must be low enough to have to dig up an old commercial for re-use.
