Best Of

Gonna have to go up quite a bit more to recoup the premium on the Superman

I wonder if PCGS would straight grade this coin today?

I seriously doubt it.

Still on backorder on a 7/2 order. It would be nice for them to acknowledge that this is a good order by placing it into some kind of in-process status. I mean, tomorrow makes a month that they've had to test the funding source or uncover some kind straw man purchase operation heh. Status change should have been done on the 29th imo. Nevertheless, it is still on backorder and i'm sure i am not the only one.

The four proof silver eagles this year at 100k mintage will be considered semi-key coins in the series and should hold over $200 or even go up a bit from there for raw. When the market gets flooded like this, similar to 2008, the buyers get rewarded later.

Next year we will also be flooded with collectors coins and the same thing will happen with gold.

The experiment the mint did this time with the HHl proves they do not have 100k individual households that will buy, but that doesn't mean demand is not over 100k. Demand may have been for more than 1 coin per household. The mint limited demand by imposing a HHL of only 1.

If the HHL had been 2, many would have bought 2 and held them. It would have sold out fast, and some would have kept 2 as investments instead of flipping.

If anyone is buying proof silver eagles this year, the ones to buy are the 100k mintage coins and not the regular proofs that have 150k plus mintages.

However, no mintage is listed for the S Proof silver eagle for Sept 23rd. Chances are it is over 100k, but they might surprise us. If it is 75k then it will be the best one for the year.

The real value of the state Quarter program was that it actually did bring many people into the hobby. Without them, there would be less overall demand and the values of everything else would probably be lower.

I’m in the minority to believe that members should exercise restraint to not dominate the forum with their threads. If this is the CoinTalk norm, perhaps the virus should be quarantined 😉😉😉

Just an opinion so save the tomatoes.

Congrats!

Your last picture with the sticker looks completely different than the first two sets of pictures.
