Thanks to John Nanney's Discovery, 2008 ASE's with 2007 reverse going through the roof

mach19

The 'Bay # 160231194746 WOW!!! Have a good one!

Can someone post a link

Zoins

linky

$800

coinkid855

Aww... beat me to the link. Oh well. I think that bid is probably an error. They thought they were bidding on all of the coins, probably.

ECHOES

OK...
What might be a fair price to offer since this is a new discovery. I can remember when the 95 DDO Lincoln was discovered they were going for as much as $400-$500, now they can be had for a fraction of that.

idunk

You might be right stating the bidder thinks it's for all 20. He has a feedback of (2), so is fairly new I guess. If so he will be in for a nice surprise at the end of auction.

A $16,000 surprise!!

SUMORADA

New bidder might not be around when these close.....

I can see it now...Uh, honey, I just made a great coin investment, I got all 20 for 16,000.....edited to remove the annoying dancing chicken..and a spell check.

BECOKA

I picked the wrong year to stop collecting silver eagles.

Looks like even if this is a bogus bid, there is potential for this variety. I used to have a standing order to get 100 of these every year and I assume that the order would have been one of the first which may have had the 07 reverse.

I doubt it given the number that have already been reported. These prices simply reflect the "I gotta have it right now" folks! Thats all.

CaptHenway

The raw one just closed for $238.

Yeah, the $800 bid has gone bye-bye.

PatchFanatic

Bid is gone now... (Someone beat me to it.)

bumanchu

I had subscriptions for 250+ coins.... no 2007 reverses.

morgansforever

Another ploy by the Mint, or just an honest error?

Box of 25, none having the 07 reverse, damn it!

What is the difference in the revese?

Does anyone have pics?

That gives me 13 including the 12 I got from the mint for $25.95.

cladking

Cool.

...just what this series needed was a great variety. I hope it's common enough to find one.

Did anybody else who pre-ordered from the US mint find this 2007 reverse from the 2008 ASE they received ? In short is this variety easily found ? Just curious.

mnmcoin

4 out of 10 for me. Not sure when my order was placed, but I got them about a few weeks ago.

When the coinworld story comes out demand will go up. When people figure out that there are more than they thought price will go down.

subwaydrive-thru got 86 of them for $12,900 plus shipping

halfhunter

My order date was 3/18. Date shipped 4/8.
Only ordered 2 because they seemed overpriced.
Both were '07 Rev.

I've long believed that these are usually caused by the technician who
is changing the dies forgetting which he has already changed. If he just
changed the obverse die with the date on it and is distracted he might
think the reverse die was changed as well if it's in good shape. There are
numerous moderns with the wrong reverse. some are quite dramatic and
this is one of the most dramatic.

SUMORADA

I got 25 a week ago.....all were 2008 w with the correct reverse.........the only different ones I got were dated 2009 w.....better luck next time I guess.























































































got ya!

mach19

Nice

fc

with prices like those, ebay should be full of them in a few weeks.

droopyd

Sounds like it's not going to turn out to be a great rarity....

GopherNationals

I imagine this discovery is causing an increase in orders at the mint. It will be interesting to see of orders placed today will contain any of the 07 reverses. They are "in stock" which means they have cranked out a large quantity in advance of sales. So within this batch it may be luck of the draw or maybe the batch that had the 07 reverse has already been dispersed. Who knows. This may make unopened boxes from the mint interesting down the road depending on date shipped.

mach19

I purchased some on the 'Bay when John's post came out. I ordered a few from ATS with the early release on the slab. Imagine a TPG not noticing this variety & grading coins. WTF

Griv

400 smackers

jessewvu

I have a subscription for 2 2008 coins and I ordered another one a while back. They were both shipped recently so I hope I get one of the error coins!

TexasNationals

I pre-ordered and none have 2007 reverses, no biggie, I bet a ton are going to show up and I will buy mine for $60 in 3 months.

vplite

Sucker play, IMHO. Why buy a kind of expensive coin when the population is very likely to go up? Still a great find in a mint order. What will happen when it milkspots?

COINB0Y

What a dreary life you must lead

19Lyds

Jeez! $400 each?

Someone's gonna be really sore in about a month!












I hope it ain't me!

halfhunter

Does anyone what the average die life for one of these dies?
Wonder if it was only one mixed die or more.

Regards,

John

I read the posting on the Form about the 2008 W ASE coin. can any one please let me know which one is the True Reverse of 2008 W ASE which is being labeled as 2008-W Reverse of 2007 Silver Eagle NGC . Is it U or u ( which has tail).
Thanks

08 u
07 U

TexasNationals

u is 2008 reverse U is 2007 reverse.

BAJJERFAN

I was offered a few NGC69s

chvan

The coin which is being labeled as 2008-W Reverse of 2007 Silver Eagle NGC has u on the 2008 coin

Griv

<< <i>The coin which is being labeled as 2008-W Reverse of 2007 Silver Eagle NGC has u on the 2008 coin >>


What?

thestig

would it be funny if the u with the tail. was the rarer of the 2?

Griv

So is this the first variety of the ASE or the first to be spotted? Who is racing to the bank tomorrow to find out for sure?

The 2007 and 2008 reverses share an entirely different font but admittedly the U is the easiest to spot. It will be any interesting and refreshing change to the ASE's and I have to thank the Mint for f'ing up once again. Where else can you hope for governmental incompetence?

The Mint. Love and hate.

adamlaneus

"admittedly the U is the easiest to spot"



I'm sure it will spot easily soon!

idunk

So a lot of NGC 70's closes at about $375 per coin Sunday night. Just a few hours earlier a lot closed at about $300 higher per coin. It would sure suck to be a high bidder in that first batch. Seems prices are dropping already.

DJCoinz

I was in for 2 on that auction back when it was sub-$100...seeing as how we don't even know if it's a rare variety or not yet that's just stupid money IMO.

Griv

We shall see. The only way to win is to buy EVERY piece of $&!% that the Mint sells and hope for another rebate from the gov to cover the losses.

chiefbob

Wasn't aware of this variety. Because I've sold almost all my ASEs due to the spotting problem, I didn't open the Mint box that contains two 2008 ASEs that shipped on March 19th. Now I'm thinking of selling this unopened box.

How can you prove that the box has the two ASEs in it? Looking at the labels on it, I don't see anything that indicates ASE. I thought there was a "Z" designation? If I sold it on the bay, how could I prove it really does have the two eagles in it? The only way I could even tell was to cross-check the USPS delivery confirmation # with the tracking # on my order history.

MasterGuns

On the subject of Unc ASE, I have 2 unopended 08s I was going to send in. Will the TPG automatically indicate the variety attribution of teh 07 reverse??
