Keep me in mind just in case that you needed a few extra sets..

 

My results are in:
Reverse proof dimes: 2 PF70, 3 PF69
Proof dollar: 5 PF70 Ultra Cameo
Proof dimes W mintmark: 4 PF70 Ultra Cameo, 1 PF69 Ultra Cameo

 

Woo Hoo!

Congrats!

 

I'm pretty pleased. No 68's. I didn't expect all 70's but one or two more reverse proof 70's woulda been nice. Ah well. Now to get them back and see what they sell for!

 

About the same mix I got. I didn't send them in, but, they look like:
RP: 1-70, 4-69's (problem is spots on the mirrored parts, only seen with 5x)
w-dime: 4-70's, 1-69
dollar: 4-70's, 1-69

 

I'm really pleased the dollars all got 70's. I need $51.70 per coin to break even,and I don't think I would have gotten that for the dollars without 70's.

 

It's an old and established sentiment around here, but rarely has it been stated so poetically.

 

Congratulations!

People should be all over my proof gold Marshals $5 coins then. I would sell them below mint issue price at this point to get rid of them.

 

PM SQguy...

 

We've had this conversation - not referring to gold/platinum coins, just silver and base metal. Due to low number of collectors and high intrinsic value, gold/platinum coins require much lower mintages for numismatic appreciation.

 

You said U.S. coin. It is a U.S. coin just as much as the FDR bullion pieces; therefore, your statement is false. That is fact. You need to be more accurate in your posting and state what you actually mean.

Anyway, back to the OP's sets. Very nice OP!

 

What??? I clarified this with you days ago and I just did above.

 

...

Yet you make the same errors in this thread again? You stated that "any" (as in you can pick any one of the coins; or, put another way all of them) have "done very well." This is not the case. Moreover, you now state that you were in fact not counting all the coins; thus, it is false to make broad pronouncements that all of them have done well because you did not address all of them. You did not qualify your statements. As written, the statements were incorrect. And even with clarifications, (you allow for silver) you are still incorrect. All silver coins with that mintage have not done very well. All coins issued as part of a series have not done very well. The 5 oz. pucks were made of silver, were struck along copper-nickel ATB coin, carried the same face value of $0.25, had mintages below 100,000, and are just as much part of the ATB quarter series as this new dime is to the Roosevelt series. These pieces have depreciated. Even if you believe this is "doing well" compared to the rest of the bullion market as you contended previously, it is absurd at best to state that these have "done very well." It appears you have now become even more extreme in your position.

Accuracy and clarity are important in writing. If someone took your comments at face value, you would have misled them and possibly caused someone to speculate to their detriment. If people are going to speculate, they should do so based on the actual facts and not a selective gloss. I truly hope these do well for everyone purchasing one, but for the love of money, please get your facts straight and stop creating artificial hype.

Anyway, this is my last post to this thread on this topic. Let us not derail the OP's thread. You can PM any further debate although I probably won't respond anymore as I merely beating a dead horse.

 

You can tweak your analysis however you like and disregard clarifications to prove a point, your point - however, the coins I mentioned all did very well. You have not come up with any legitimate examples to disprove this. All silver coins issued in the last 20 years, with 100k or less mintage have done very well, including the P 5oz AtB's, if you bought the whole series - this was explained to you in the other thread, as was how well you would have done if you bought the whole series of bu silver dollar commems. And, all silver or base metal coins that were issued in the last 20 years with 100k or less mintage, that were parting of a series, including ASE's, have done very well.

I understand saying all U.S. coins is not 100% accurate, but did not feel the need to go into the detail I just did here and in the other thread, as this thread is about the 2015-w & RP dimes, which do fit my criteria.

I certainly hope new collectors on CT aren't mislead by the trolls in here that claim they'll be able to buy these dimes at issue price or less, if they wait.

 

OP, what was your turnaround time?

 

Less than a week before my results were posted on the NGC website. But they ship registered mail which takes at least a week before I get then back.

 

And I hope new collectors aren't mislead by the "dreamers" that these are rare coins... It is a matter time before the MoD set sell for below issue price.

 

I have not been in the hobby for a very long time, just going on 6 years now, but back when I first started I really admired the 2009 UHR double eagle, I was going to order one but let myself be convinced by some who seemed pretty confident that the big premium on those coins would shortly be seeing them trading at bullion levels.

So if you are a new collector, and a coin appeals to you, just buy it, do not worry that you might be spending more now then you would be a few years later.

 

But my dear fellow these coins are rare only 75000 in a population of 7 billion. Now will they amount to a return of even 10% p.a that is the question.
We have positioned ourselves by our investment and we take ourselves so seriously that it is a given that we are astute collectors and seasoned investors. Facts and history show the ones who are really seasoned work at the mint.

All coins are rare some more than others

I will have fries with that
