2009 Lincoln commemorative silver dollar

One slab allows you to see the reeding and one doesn't. I don't think the mint would miss a very valuable part of the minting process. The slabs give the appearance of an optical illusion that there are no reeds.

Thanks, I have to aggree with you. Still learnin'. zeke:hatch:

 

No problem Zeke.....in fact, I just noticed this myself.....take a look a the ANACS one..... now look closely around the edge of the coin...... you can actually see the reeding while looking directly at the coin.... can you see it?

 

JACERAVONE, sorry for taking so long to respond. Yeah I see it. I know you are correct that the reeding goes all around on the edge/rim. BUT take a close look at the ANACS PF70, the rim area around the last ' T ' in TRUST on the obverse. See how it's heavier there then peters out on both sides the picks up again. A PF70 shouldn't have that on it.
Anyhow, I sent them back because I paid way too much but I bought them during an anxiety attack in fear I'd miss out on ever owning them. Later I bought a set just like that but graded by NGC and paid $116 bucks less.
They will have the new holder/slab just like the ones in the pics.

 

Im just glad things worked out for you.

 

lincoln silver commems dollars will gradually come down to near bullion value. it will be another sold out coins that traded near buulion such as constitution dollar coins.

 

I don't know about that. This coin was very anxiously awaited and has been very popular. It reminds me of the 2001 Silver Buffalo or the 2006 reverse proof ASE...neither of which have had their prices come back down to Earth.

 

even braille dollar will be better than lincoln.

 

Do you say this because the Braille will sell less resulting in a more "rare" coin later? I know this has has happened, I think due to their scarcity the Jackie Robinson sells at a good premium compared to the issue price. But, also the Buffalo commem also sells at a good premium and it was a sell out. It is just a very popular coin, and I personally would think the Lincoln will be in the same category. Predicting the furture of modern issue coins is tough. What is your opinion of the 50,000 Lincoln Proof with the proof cents that is to come out later this year? Do you think it will result in a sustained premium to buy in the secondary market?

 

imho, I think the Lincoln will come down some, but still be a valuable dollar. The Braille dollar came in the shadow of the Lincoln, and not many will bought it. That's why I ordered mine the first day of opening hour. It will take time, but should pay off in the end. jmo

 

u want a payoff i suggest getting the gold sac thats the only modern that will be worth anything

 

Sure the Braille dollar will not be a sell out and will also be a very low mintage but that doesn't equate to valuable (pay off in the end). Unfortunately there needs to be demand for prices to rise and I just don't see the demand for the Braille issue. I think just the oposite, raw coins in ogp will hang at issue price for a decade or more. No sleeper here.

 

You mean, of course, these.......

yes thank you Harvey :hug:

 

If the Braille Dollar does end up being a lower mintage as expected, I think it will retain a premium value. Collectors have been putting commemorative sets together and that coin will be more scarce...so some demand will be there. So, I think a low mintage will keep its value above bullion.

For the Lincoln, it might come down a little...but I think its going to remain high. It has been so popular and sold out so quick...it reminds me too much of the silver Buffalo.

 

Where are those now anyway? I knew about the space mission, but never heard anything afterwards. Fort Knox? With all that gold that is suppose to be there.....and they never let anyone see?

They only ever filmed that gold once didn't they, and as I remember, there was one lady holding a bar, and it just looked like a small closet.

Speaking of value, what was the mint price for the 2006 Anniv Gold set?

It does. I saw a 2006 Rev Gold PCGS PR-69 sell for $2300 about 10 days ago, and another last week for $2350. I thought the Rev usually went for around $3000.

I want one of those really bad, but, will have to wait for better times.

 

Yes, they usually go for $2800-$3200. I'll have to keep an eye out for a $2300 one. I think I have some home equity that I can tap.

 

The heck of it is, I knew this coin set was going to skyrocket. I could've plunked down the extra jing to pick up a few but I just didn't have the Balzac's to do it.......
