If you want to read a condensed version of my reply above, some of the 69's started "showing up" because of the sheer number of submitted/graded...
Doug, I can only attest to the standards for the Sacagawea dollars, as that is the only set I seriously collect in that timeframe. In 2000 when...
Doug thanks for the very extensive descriptions of satin/matte/proof/business, etc. It is greatly appreciated. I just have to ask, what makes...
I think the stars are aligned or there is something wrong...I have to officially agree with Doug twice in the same week! :eek:
At auction it could go for sky money or it could completely flop. That's the interesting thing....it all depends on whether there are 2 (or more)...
PS -- Bahabully, I'd fathom you have one of the nicest, if not THE nicest example in existence. Put it in the SDB, and bring it out often to...
It only takes two serious collectors with thick pocket books to boost this pop 1 coin up into the thousands at auction. It all depends on the...
I have one similar to that 19Lyds. :) [ATTACH]
Mintage rarity and condition rarity are two very different things. Mintage rarity will always be "rare", but condition rarities are only one...

I think the "hype" started when they named it and paid someone to design a logo for it already! LOL
Really? I think I saw a hoard of SEGS MS70s on the Bay a while back! ;)
I don't know that you can say that. I have not found any good source that details exactly how the Satin Finish coins were produced and whether...
I know this question was addressed to Doug, but I have to chime in. There are no (and likely will remain no) 2011 coins graded MS70 by either...
On this rare occasion, I agree with Doug. ;)
Are you kidding? They don't make plastic holders for the massive pucks. You can store 20oz of ASEs in stackable plastic containers. The pucks...
I guess I'm not sure if you are suggesting they scrap the ATB bullion pucks, or the quarter series all together? I think the pucks are one of the...
While you're "technically" correct, once a coin is removed from its mint set packaging, it is not discernibly different from a coin struck for...
