<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3334727, member: 66&quot;]They have staff that buy them on line form the mint like everyone else, they also have buyers that purchase them from dealers who buy them from collectors that bought all they could and flipped.&nbsp; This means that a large quantity of any new issue very rapidly winds up in their hands.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for them &quot;already being slabbed&quot;&nbsp; The TV people FREQUENTLY use mock ups to show items that they don&#039;t actually have on hand yet.&nbsp; In early January you will often see them selling say new silver eagles in slabs just a day or two after the New Year.&nbsp; But if they show a CLEAR close up image of the slab you will see the label has the current year, but the coin is that of the previous year.&nbsp; They just put a fake label on another slab.&nbsp; If you look at the &quot;slabbed coins&quot; on the HSN website you will find the images are photoshopped.&nbsp; Look at the proofs, those are NOT real coins.&nbsp; they are the artist renditions that have been photoshopped into the slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p>62 posts to go[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
