it is a bit worrisome thar we had 300 remaining and they trickled down. then, once they upped to 3000(?) they are selling much faster. a possibility is there are 1000 people with cancelled orders who just don't get it

Just the BIGS returning their non-MS70 "rejects" lol. CRZY WRLD

P.S. Lift the HHL and this this topic can finally be put to rest. RGDS!

The Bigs don't have them yet. Not even @NJCoin's favorite TV Stars have them in hand Lol.
When they send them in for bulk grading, they cannot specify 70 as a minimum grade, no? So when 20% come back as 69's, they'll still manage to squeeze out a profit on those, at least early on, no?.

Blitzdude has been repeating this misinformation repeatedly, probably trying to be funny.

Refresh this thread when you are at this point of hoarding.

I wonder if we will ever see those higher prices realized again in the near future or if the current prices reflect the new bar set for these coins in particular ..... Only time will tell

Don’t forget to factor in inflation when evaluating trends.

Nickels might be worth hoarding as well.

Back around Y2K one of the leading preppers advised everyone to invest in boxes of nickels and to use them to armor your outside walls by stacking boxes on the floor and up the wall. The idea was the coinage was dense enough to stop bullets from penetrating into the house and would also serve as money if you needed to buy anything. I think I stopped buying nickel boxes when I had 10 or so and hated to have to move them around to sweep the carpets. The proponent was, I believe, J. Wesley Rowles, and a lot of people closely followed his advice and instructions. I guess I could take the boxes to the bank and get my cash back out since there is no way I'm going to search the boxes but then I'd need a little red wagon or something to be able to wheel those boxes in. Who knew?

I would gladly go through nickel boxes from the year 2000.

true

but they won't date a medal and strike more with a 26 on them, of course, don't give them any ideas

I find it difficult to believe that checking a new submission by cert number against a database of past submissions (regardless of the outcome of the submission(s)) isn’t one of the first things they do within their process.

I’m not implying any nefarious motive by CAC, and it strikes me as it would be more efficient to know that past answer, if there is indeed a past answer.

This is all assumption on my part and perhaps I’m sorely mistaken.

The coin doesn’t appear to be harshly cleaned. And unless the images are masking an issue, I think that if it were submitted for grading, it would straight grade. A retail price in the $100 range would seem reasonable to me.

I was talking with someone the other day about the categories for Roosevelt Dimes. I forget which service is doing this, there is another split 1992-2018 for modern silver proofs and 2019-Date for 0.999 silver proofs. Do with that information as you will.

I think you have the Seated Dimes down pat, including if the transitional variety is affordable. I don't recall there being anything traditional about including it in a type set since its only a pattern and not an official coin.

Puerto Rico should be its own entity separate from the United States and even Spain for the purists. Those coins were the only ones made by Spain for the former colony. Their production timing was close enough to the Spanish-American War that they were still in wide circulation after the war had ended.
