I'd rather have a speared bison in nickel than a stuck pig in silver The winner out of all of these 20th anniversary coins will be the reverse proof in GOLD.
That's my opinion, but I completely understand the seller ending the auction early. It's a free country but the listing fees sure aren't

Look close at the ebay sales ..the MS and the PRFCAMs are being sold ..the REv PRFs are not ....... the REv Prf willl be the big star down the road
Hey whay happening here ...I have counted 4 auctions for AGEs and SAEs that have ended early without sale in the past couple days . Are prices too low or are expectations too high ?
<< <i>The buyer stole it at that price! People just don't realize there will only be ~120 first strike silver RP70's after all the grading is done, if that! >>
thats why i just sold my reverse proof 70 for $4800++ a week ago, and a week later sets of 3 are going for less
<< <i>The buyer stole it at that price! People just don't realize there will only be ~120 first strike silver RP70's after all the grading is done, if that! >>
But, does anybody really give a crap about FIRST STRIKE
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!
<< <i>The buyer stole it at that price! People just don't realize there will only be ~120 first strike silver RP70's after all the grading is done, if that! >>
There is already 139.
Plus I'm sure there are more to come.
Then you have Non First Strike, which seem to sell for less, but non the less, Rev. Pr 70.
I am a little nothing who was lucky enough to get a Reverse Proof, First Strike 70. That is going nowhere since I never would be able to afford one otherwise. Puritan

If I were you I would sell it in a heartbeat, pocket $4500 and still buy a FS RP 69 eagle. Then you can spend the $4500 on christmas or a real coin/coins. After all it is just a slab of silver that has no "real" history behind it. Pick up a gold half eagle from 1861 and imagine where that coin has been and what types of transactions transpired with it during the civil war and after.

The price will continue to drop.... .much like the AGEs gold sets..the easy money has also , now been made in the silver anniv sets
<< <i>But, does anybody really give a crap about FIRST STRIKE >>
They will when PCGS decides to include First Strike recognition in the Registry. It's just makes good business sense for them to do that, in my opinion. More early submissions with the extra first strike designation fee! If that happens, watch these puppys go through the roof!
I haven't looked lately but aren't the American Silver Eagles series the most popular series in the Registry?
When the first strike RP silvers were first being graded, they were making 70's at a paultry 2.7% of all RP's graded, all First Strike. There just weren't too many that got 70 early on.
Now at a rate of making 70 at 4.7% or so, either the mint is making better RP's, or PCGS is loosening the RP 70 criteria, but NOT for First Strike, as most of these have been graded at the lower "make" percentages (2.7%-3.5%). That is why I contend that the latest 139 number (and that undoubtably includes some non-first strike coins) is really comprised of roughly 100 first strike coins, with not too many more to be graded!
If 47 more first strike coins are to be graded 70, there will have to be at least 1000 more first strike eligible sets left to be graded. I don't think there are many unopened eligible sets shipped before 11/11 left, so this low 100 pop count will not increase that much more First Strike coins.

Expectations are too high. The value of these sets has dropped even faster than normal.

Wow Russ, you always been this smart??

What DO they grow to???
<<Uhh, yeah? Especially with the first or second silver set going for $9300 or so. Of course! I'm a collector but I'm not stupid!>>
Way to go Loki. Saved everyone the trouble!!! The Sherlock Holmes board here was pounding its chest having put the pieces of the puzzle together.

-I think there are plenty of these still being held in their sealed boxes. I just shipped one out the other day to a forum member.
