I thought the design contest was for kids.... Congratulations to your Aunt, but I have to say that my favorite is "Liberty is a Grand Slam".
It talks about 3 finishes. The uncirculated finish, a heavy frosted finish, and then (in the next paragraph) a light frosted finish.
I agree with you. Like I said I think the 69/70 thing is a scam. But that is how the game is played and someday either you or your family will...
But for a coin like this a 69 is a reject. Looking at PCGS for last year's S reverse proof about 1/3 were graded 70 and 2/3 were graded 69....
It isn't worth fighting them. Ebay will always find a way to side with the buyer. I have never used it, but I believe there is a function to...
I would start with buying this set directly from the U.S. Mint. It is available for one more week. I hate to use the word "investment" but the...
The 2012 is sold out and the mintage is roughly half of what the 2006 was.
I saw a post on the Collector's Universe forum that the plan for next year is that the burnished uncirculated will be replaced by the enhanced...
Last year it went on sale in August several weeks after sales had stopped for the San Francisco set. I don't think it is a wise move to start...
Maybe not. Prices tend to be sticky for a few years. And since the big dealers put their orders in right away they paid more than the new price...
The price will be lowered to $60.95. http://mintnewsblog.com/2013/05/lower-prices-for-silver-proof-sets/
$15 within the next five years. You're right that there should be a long term trend upwards because of all the money printing. But what we have...
1. I don't want to see them create any errors intentionally. The "oops, we forgot the mintmark" has happened so many times that it makes you...
140,648 were ordered on the first day. http://mintnewsblog.com/2013/05/west-point-set-orders-reach-140648/
I saw presales on ebay for $170. Subtract $17 for the ebay fee, $4 for shipping, and $5.23 for the Paypal fee and that leaves you with a profit...
I'm in for one regardless. Otherwise I'm playing it like statequarterguy. If the final mintage looks like it will be below 200,000 I'll buy...
To the original poster I would suggest buying this year's West Point set instead. You will be able to buy it directly from the mint for $140. It...
That is a good price. The mintage is currently at 229,828 and it should sell out soon. The mintage will be similar to last years San Francisco...
I have been watching these on ebay because I bought 20 the day the individual coins sold out. $60 right now is about right, but people definitely...
