How did I miss out on this deal??

I had a chance, but I was too late. I could have owned not one, but two real Silver American Eagles preserved in MINT State FOR OVER 7 YEARS!!!!

1995 Eagle

Well. maybe I can get the buyer to part with one. It will be the highlight of my collection.

Placid

one has a small scratch on the reverse of the case but the obverse is perfect

He will probably part with that one

That auction looks a bit risky.

I don't think I could send Marcus $7.5 K

zenny

is it just me, or would anyone else have trouble sending 7500 bucks to someone who can't spell the word "excellent?" (never mind that he can't spell "date" or, and this one is very hard to believe, "are").

do people do this to seem uneducated in the hopes of suckering someone in to "make a killing offa this guy" or is it really that hard to navigate the english language.

oh yeah, PERFECTOMANIA is alive and well.

This can't be real. I would think anyone that is smart enough to have 7500.00 in throw away money would be smart enough to avoid a coin this plentiful!

Pop 25 and growing.

Sorry, but in my book a pop 25 is NOT rare! Not rare enough to justify $3500 a coin. Especially since there will be more graded. How many hoards of these coins are socked away? How many speculators are there? Out of these hoards, how many will contain at least one PR70? If the pop number doesn't at least double in the next few years I will resign my self proclaimed "Numismatic Modern Day Hype Pessimist" title. Until then, I am the president of this club!

Also what is he selling a PR70 or a MS70? He lists the coins as PR70 and starts talking about MS70s in his little promo.

Some of you might flame me for my attitude here, which is fine. I have come to the place where I can no longer sit quietly. I think people are nuts when really hyped up coins that are probably no better than scare are past on as true rarities! What is going to happen to the value of these coins in the years to come when the hype wears off? The price will adjust to its true level, ie, WAY DOWN.

$7500 will buy one really nice coin that is truely rare in todays market. I paid less than that for my 1913 PR67CAM $.25 (pop 3(0)) two years ago. Recently at a Bowers and Marena auction another coin of the same grade went for $13,000. I think that people are finally waking up and smelling the coffee here.

The buyer who jumped on the BIN (auction didn't even run for a full day) has picked up quite a few MS70/PR70 pieces in the last few weeks.

Oldcameo - You went and took the words right out of the old bears jaws. Kind of unsanitary and even
a bit dangerous if you ask me. Bear

Oldcameoproofsguy, No flame here as I would not have any interest in that silver eagle at all.

But as far as pop reports go they can be deceiving.Just my thoughts but when I think about buying a coin I might check pop reports just being curious but in all reality it doesn't mean anything.Just a guide just like price sheets.

Just wanted to add I feel these PR Eagles are better looking in the orig. govt. plush package rather than a plastic holder with a barcode.

With all of this guys spelling errors, how do we know he didn't mispell "ACG" as "NGC"!??!?!

JJacks is right!

Am I wrong in thinking that 3750 a peice is way too much for one of these things.
