    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    I picked the wrong year to stop collecting silver eagles. image

    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. image

    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.

    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.image

    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.

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

    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!
  • cladkingcladking Posts: 28,124 ✭✭✭✭✭
    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.

    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.
  • mach19mach19 Posts: 4,002 ✭✭
    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

  • vplitevplite Posts: 1,385 ✭✭✭
    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?

  • GrivGriv Posts: 2,804 ✭
    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.

    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.
  • DJCoinzDJCoinz Posts: 3,856 ✭
    image 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.

    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.
  • chiefbobchiefbob Posts: 1,077 ✭✭✭
    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.

    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??
