<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tommy83, post: 2625688, member: 84415&quot;]I bought some new 2017 gold American Eagles.

I’ve never bought graded coins for numismatic purposes, but I found myself buying one today (good price).

That is fine. Maybe just a small sample size on the ones I received. I’m curious if these ‘17s are reviewed before shipped to customers that ordered them pre-sale. It just seems odd to me that there are already 70 graded gold eagles out there for sale. Does the mint and/or any of the brokers look at these coins before shipping them – coins with very minor imperfections sent to pre-sale buyers without grading and the best looking coins are graded by PGGS so that they can sell them for more should they grade at 70?</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m just curious as I’m a little surprised to see 70 grade coins available for sale only a couple days after the gold eagles were shipped out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
