Re: Desk Display for Slabbed Coins?
This is one I bought for my birthyear set. Cheap wood but nice display with slots for the slabs.

Re: I can't comprehend what's going on with the 2026 uncirculated mint set's

Nothing else is going on. As evidenced by the fact that they repriced prior years to the same level.
They just saw what happened in the secondary market last year, when people snapped them up at $33.25 in anticipation of grabbing the last cents, and then saw the secondary market skyrocket. The new Mint Director, who comes from the world of TV telemarketing, seemingly decided that the Mint should get in on the action.
Rather than making them to demand, or giving people a decent flip. As a result, they will be making them to significantly reduced demand, because they are not going to sell out 190K at $124.50 on an annual basis.
They are just going to drive away people like you. And then people looking for a flip, when they realize there isn't one.
And then everyone else, because very few are going to tolerate at 2100% markup to face value on base metal uncirculated coins, in the hope that two zinc cents priced at around $50 each are going to hold their value when they don't circulate and don't contain precious metal, just because there are "only" 190,000 of them. Not found in the wild, but bought directly from the Mint at a 500,000% markup to face value.

SOLD
I just got a box of 1776~2026 Half Dollars from my Credit Union. I'm asking $22 per OBW roll. The box has 14 rolls of REV/REV for the ender coins. The other 37 rolls are OBV/REV or OBV/OBV for the ender coins. Shipping will be added for each order. I will try to find the cheapest rate and let the buyer know what the shipping will be prior to order confirmation.(Please send me your Zip Code if you want to buy any of the OBW rolls) Each order will have a tracking # (UPS/USPS) and I will cover the Insurance for the package. I plan to keep 10 rolls for myself so 40 rolls are available for sale. The payment will be by check or USPS Money Order. The orders will be shipped after the payment clears unless we have had a successful prior transaction. Please feel free to send me a PM if you have a question or want additional photos. Thanks for shopping.

Re: Another MBA question

Even worse are the slabs. Want to guess where all the cards Brent "bought back" under the direction of the Feds to avoid prison time have ended up? MBA slabs.Arthur
This. Plus with Mike's history at PSA and then GAI of slabbing trimmed cards coupled with his current financial backer and him getting caught working with Moser and stickering trimmed cards, I think buyer beware of any MBA stickered card and especially MBA holdered cards which are now showing up on MHCC and Heritage.
Besides trimmed cards getting holdered and stickered under the previous PWCC scheme, it came to light that auctions of those cards were getting shilled like crazy.
But that couldn't possibly be happening again.
I think calling out high end for the grade cards through a sticker isn't really the issue here--I don't have have a problem with the idea itself. To me, the issue is the players, financial backers, past history with dishonesty and corruption which calls into question the credibility of this whole operation.
Re: Which coins historically have been used in coin-operated machines?
There were plenty of penny candy vending machines when I was a kid. I have a penny gumball machine, needs refilling.

May pickups...
Here is mine with Willie Mays grinning from ear to ear knowing his card has received an MBA-Gold Diamond!

Re: Seller on ebay doesn't know anything about his coin...Just that it's rare...
eBay looked into my two reports - one that the coin wasn’t genuine and the other, that the seller was misrepresenting the coin as being certified by NGC and CAC. And they determined that the listing wasn’t in violation of their policy.
