[QUOTE="Vootsaker, post: 2737195, member: 87501"]I have been collecting ONLY Silver Eagles for a few years now. In that collection, I have only purchased PCGS 70 First Strike and recently FDOI coins. I only buy one coin of each type. I have the 2008 ASE Reverse Error in PCGS 70 FS and so forth. Lately, there seems to be an enormous amount of labels claiming 1of 1000 or 1 of 500 etc., but they all offer the same coin. Up until this year, I have only purchased the generic Flag Label. I didn't want to be "buying labels" instead of coins. This year however, in the 2017 ASE W and S coins I gave in and bought the Mercanti label in FDOI. Please give a fairly new collector some guidance going forward. I still want to collect one of each offering in PCGS 70 FDOI or FS but the quantity and price of these labels are crazy. I feel like if I don't buy the Mercanti Label, then my collection is limited, BUT IT IS THE SAME COIN AS THE FLAG LABEL and I could really care less about his signature.
