HSN buys them by the thousands on the first day minted and most likely has them drop-shipped straight to NGC. When they buy as many as they do,...
It's the MS70 part that makes them buy. Perceived rarity.
It's post mint damage! Did I get the melody right?
Guys, 88 is wrong. IQ tests are designed and updated every couple of years to make the average IQ 100. The average IQ in the US is 98. Google it.
If you'd like to see some nice toned coins, just polish a few silver coins today and sit them in a drawer for five or ten years. Another way to...
