To paraphrase Will Rogers, good investments are ones that go up. If they don't go up, don't buy them.
You wouldn't even have to go that far. If you win, you get notified that the mint has charged your credit card and the coin is in the mail. No...
Nice eye appeal for the grade, and good obvious mint mark which isn't always the case on worn 16-D's. Nice score.
Don't feel bad, but it's hard for anyone to comment on something they can't see. As for your pennies, those newer than 1960 aren't worth much...
Thanks for posting, I never heard of the Brandt company so I did some reading on their founder and their history. Cool bit of American history....
That's a circulated 1966 dime minted in Philadelphia (that's why there's no mint mark). Clad coins like these can darken if they spend time...
Hard to see anything but the first coin looks heavily damaged. Like Randy said, coins get the crap beat out of them, especially pennies which are...
The mint knew full well what would happen but why would they care? They successfully sold all $6+ million worth of gold eagles and $11+ million...
Meh, they sold 1945 $2600 items in less than 6 minutes. It was a rousing success from their viewpoint. Why would anyone get fired? I had a gold...
Nice looking coins. I'm a silver fan, too.
Thinking I should get a punch made up and privy-mark a bunch of normal Eagles. You know, then they would all end up like Dr. Seuss's Sneeches....
The mint publishes a pricing guide here that's based upon the average* price of gold. It appears they plan on selling the privy marked AGE for the...
Brilliant move by the mint putting both coins on sale at the same time. Shouldn't be any bandwidth issues, right? [IMG]
Great series, congrats on completing it! Thanks for posting.
I love that coin. Depicts Ben when he was playing linebacker for the Eagles. Not many people know about that.
I could be wrong but I don't think it will sell out that quickly. 5000 mintage is pretty high for a coin that will cost north of $600-$700. I...
Perhaps, but with spot gold almost $2000/oz, the two coin set contains almost $1000 in bullion value alone. Curious to see where the price lands.
Given the mintages (below), the high price, and the general malaise toward mint offerings, I don't think there will be any trouble getting these...
I think the 1818 Capped Bust quarter looks overgraded.:)
As a novelty? Sure. You may never see another. As a "serious" TPG Lincoln? No, of course not. (I would probably keep it slabbed for the novelty...
