Bring it!

I believe the coins are in the album, as shown.
Could be really nice.

All 230 current bids are $10k and over.

1986-P $1 Statue Of Liberty (Regular Strike)- mintage 723,625
2024 Tubman Dollar -7,200

I am very sorry to report that in just (38) years of the same Commem $1 program, the U.S. Mint has reduced collector interest by 99% (repeat 99%)!! I truly thought this was an impossible feat to accomplish. Can’t get any worse than a 1% additional decline from this point regardless of what happens!

A few years ago, I worked as the expert witness for the U.S. Justice Department (Kansas City) along with some very strong U.S. Mint personnel. We won that Federal case hands down. Happy to share my ideas any time with the U.S. Mint on how to turn their Commem $1 Program around.

Demand for the unpopular designs has been falling by about 1000 per coin for the last few years.

2021 law enforcement 9,423
2022 Negro League Baseball 8,442
2024 Harriet Tubman 7,300

If silver prices were to ever skyrocket, I could see an unpopular coin selling down to 3000 or less.

My experience with the “Coin Facts” price guide is that it tends to be on the high side. I’ve found that if I bid those amounts, discounted for the buyers’ fee, that I often win the lot. I would not expect those amounts to be price realized on a constant basis.

Also you need to take into account that most bidders take the buyers’ fee into account when they formulate their bids. Those who don’t are “yahoos” in my opinion. Buyers’s fees are not paid with “Monopoly Money.”

More holder designs means more market confusion in an era when holders as well as coins are being counterfeited. How many collectors and dealers are really expert enough to tell the real from the fake?

One of the largest sellers on whatnot. Does all the vault box breaks and has his own series of breaks that these slabs are usually the “winners”

Just checked the SB auction, there are only 5 bids out of 230 under $10k.

That will be changing very quickly. A 69 might be had for under $15k but even that's iffy.
