One step at a time Mel.......they've only recently cleared up the bottleneck on 'game day'. You remember (of course) how thing used to 'hang' when they shot off the gun? So much smoother now.......we're in and out in a matter of seconds rather than multiple minutes.

 

Good question. What coin designs are your favorite.

 

True. Too people at the CCAC etc. arguing over designs, themes, location and type of symbols on the coins etc. That is why I say fire them all.

 

And I'm without a fork at the moment......oh, there it is.....carry on.

 

Yesterday I received an ad for this coin. MS-70 NGC 1st Strike/1st Release limited to 50,000. The ad was well written to suck a novice in. Low mintage, high demand, one of a kind, etc. If you missed getting them from the US Mint and must have this baby, now's your chance. Expected sellout likely.

The price $2075.00, plus S & H. Any takers?

For this price, I could buy a nice MS common date $20.00 Gold piece and still have money to spare. For twice this price, plus a little extra, I could buy a very nice 2011-D, strong D $2.50 Indian, the key date. (Yes, I have the entire set XF-45 or better).

$2075.00, plus S & H, I'll pass. It's overpriced.

 

That's what was missing from the new design -- a tattoo! Just what I was looking for on an allegorical Liberty figure. Well, maybe that and a tasteful piercing or two. Oh, look, she's got one of those as well, but only in the ear. What about the nose?

 

The old designs were higher relief on modern coins and used artists that were skilled in both drawing and engraving maybe etching in the late 1800s. A comic book artists named Adam Hughes said the best advice he can give for drawing something is do it for a good reason being it will have purpose behind it. Which is why the early US coins shine except when the soft gold nose or face wore off of the St. Gaudens coins after circulating a bit.

 

My coin just arrived I'm going to get it graded.
Since I have some other coins I'm getting graded
the PCGS Gold membership looks pretty good -
$149.00/year includes for four free coin gradings.

 

Bad sign, it's still available from the Mint.
Might send my back unopened.

The 2009 AGE HR sold out within hours.

 

Umm.... no they did not. They were unlimited mintage.

 

You're right. They were unlimted mintage for almost a year.

"The UHR $20s were originally offered on January 22, 2009. They were white-hot in their first day, with a blazing 28,173 sold. What makes that number more astonishing is the fact that the Mint had a household order limit of one in place. And at the $1,189 price upon their introduction, representing a premium of over $300 above the melt value of the gold within each coin, the picture of demand becomes more impressive"

 

Over 115,000 I believe

 

That's right.

 

I got two that I'm gonna send to NGC i hope I can get those slabs with the black inserts.

 

Do they have the black retro holders right now, or how do you get them? I wouldnt mind that as well

 

Sent mine back today. I really like the reverse but do not like the obverse.

 

I returned mine Friday because of the flaw. I ended up buying another one a couple days ago. If I think it has a shot at 70, I will keep it. If not, it will probably go back as well. I have a feeling these might see a negative sales number this week.

 

My coin appeared flawless however I just plain do not like the obverse.

Good luck getting a PL70.

 

Def a long shot but hell I'll play the lotto ticket every once in awhile.
