<p>[QUOTE="justndav76, post: 998494, member: 17428"]I do collect them but its basically a novelty piece that, IMO, won't ever be worth more than the silver value really. I did notice when they showed the "prooflike" coin a lot of the lines in lady liberty's dress were not there. And around the edge of lady liberty had a very bold appearance to her. I would actually think that the guy who made these could possibly get into some issues with the government which is why they kept emphasizing its a gov't issued eagle overstruck by a private minter. His initials are on the reverse where the "W" mint mark would normally be. I guess this guy designed some of the state quarter reverses. I just thought it to be a big joke. I know on the coinvault network they were selling those prooflike ones too for the same price $99.95 so I don't know how HSN is claiming they are the only ones that have them and came up with the idea since I have seen them on another network. </p><p><br /></p><p>HSN was also selling a 1986 silver proof eagle in OGP for $125 and I got the same one on ebay a while back for $48 so that gives you an idea of how much over market they are on HSN.
