Great looking piece! The US Mint should have minted the idea!

 

The price has fallen since since earlier in the year. It always does....these items are no longer "hot"....supply increases....other newer hotter products hit the market (i.e., the 2019-S Reverse Enhanced Proof)...and I'd say the price has fallen by about 50% across the board, give-or-take.

 

Prices have fallen bigly. I had never seen this piece and wanted if for my collection. I found a PF70 on eBay for $75. I also scored $6 in eBay bucks.

 

I bought a 70 and a 69 for a bit more than that.

 

Did you ever get one ?

I've seen a few on auction sites. Seem to be going/asking for about 20% over spot gold. I would buy one if the price was right.

 

BTW, just goes to show that you can find good deals at otherwise staid or same-stuff local auctions....I picked up a PF69 recently at a local coin show which is much less than I've paid or seen on the auction sites.

Now that I have too many, I guess I know what I can give away as Christmas presents....

 

BTW, the 2017 version was ULTRA High Relief, the 2016 was just High Relief.

 

....and there's a Reverse Proof, too !

 

...other newer hotter products hit the market (i.e., the 2019-S Reverse Enhanced Proof)...and I'd say the price has fallen by about 50% across the board, give-or-take...………... Goldfinger at what price did you see the 2019-S Reverse Enhanced Proof fell to 50 % off.

 

I don't know what that one was selling for earlier, it is more obscure and probably fewer mintage so may not have run as high early.

I believe I saw it for about $140 or so.

 

I knew it... I knew it..should have sold and made some big profit but she said no just hang on to it and I did and it dropped.. Should never listen to her first place..

 

I see a regular (non-HR) going for $180 on Heritage and a Reverse Proof for $175.

I'm surprised that the PF70 non-HR is going for that much. In that grade I was able to get them for well under $100 a few months ago. Even the Ultra HR 2017 only cost me $110 or so.

 

Those prices held today on those commemoratives as the bids got no higher.

I wonder if an impatient HA only-bidder never saw those items on other platforms....got greedy...and bid high.

You certainly get them cheaper on GC and Ebay if you have time.

 

Got the Indian Head prototype in silver:

 

Roger Burdette's Heritage SAINTS book -- and RoAC book -- goes into this in much greater detail, but if I recall correctly technical considerations only took place with the UHR and HR versions.

This was more Teddy Roosevelt, Charles Barber, Saint-Gaudens, and Henry Hering (ASG's assistant) going back-and-forth on the various designs. Ultimately, they went with the obverse and reverse designs you see today.

 

I think we were mistalking to one another...I was talking about the National Park Commemoratives, you were talking about the 2019-S Enhanced ASE.

That coin has held up very well, much stronger than I would have thought 15-18 months after coming out.

 

The Indian Head costs alot more than the Winged Liberty HR and UHR....does anybody have production numbers on the various National Park Foundation ?

They are both 1 ounce of silver, but the price is about 3-4x as expensive.
