  • So fellows where do we go from here? Like what happens next? When will the price increase on these babies? image

    Probably Nov/Dec

    << <i>I would add this. I think there are senior coin hobbists and then there are senior hoarders or savers. I think the former enjoy looking at the coins and keep up with the particulars of the hobby. The hoarders are those grannies amd grampas that collect bits of silver or gold every year to use in case of emergencies and to pass to the children or grandchildren and they just know it is silver or gold and nothing else. I could see them open the box-check to see if the order is correct-then to the safety box it goes not to be seen again for years. >>



    Yes, I'm sure there are hoarders, but for approximately 25,000 (54% of the unaccounted coins) to be held by this group and then presuming these people placed their orders and received their 2007 reverse coins in the narrow time period in which they were available just seems to be statistically impossible.
  • Well, when John Nanney discovered these we like a lot of folks ordered as many as we could afford from the mint, between the 4 of us we scored (761) 2008 W REV. of 07,
    Like most everyone we got ours in a 7-10 day period ending the first week of May.

    All but 20-25 were graded ATS,( the others were sold raw) of those a little better then 50% were 70's, we all sold at different levels over the last 4 months,
    ( about 75% were sold outside of ebay)

    for what its worth, even though we all did very well,

    I wish that I would have held on to 30-50 for a rainy day, this is just my opinion, I'm out of the game now...and very grateful to have had
    the amount I did,

    John Nanney...YOU STILL SUCK!..thank you!

    My advice on these after everything that we have seen in the last couple months is to hold what you can afford to hold for the long term and only sell if and when you need
    too financially.

    It's only an opinion.....nothing more.

    Good luck with whatever you decide.................what a world image

    I would not hold my breath as the prices may stay where they are indefinitely.

    Hopefully, the US Mint will not produce some other oddity around the Nov/Dec time frame because IF they do, then folks will quickly pour money after that and not the 08/07 coins. Low mintage levels or not, this coin has seen substantial interest which is now waning. It has enjoyed quite a bit of publicity and has traded for some serious money. For this reason, this will be a long term speculation.

    If it sits at current levels, you lose as your money would have been better tied up in something else.

    If it goes down, you lose.

    If it goes up then you'll win but your looking at a 1 in 3 chance it will go up. My experience says it won;t and I wouldn't mind being wrong in this case.

    As for the increased activity in Nov/Dec, there may be increased activity as far as sales goes, but that doesn;t mean they will go up in price. More will simply sell.

    SUMORADA --

    761 hits with these? That's a new statistic...



    I do not agree with the mystique of the 25,000 so-called missing coins.

    They are in the hands of many. This is a big country. Some know, some do not. Sumorada's example demonstrates this perfectly.

    They are only one of many dealers who bought quantities -- we will never know how many, but they are OUT THERE.

    Consider this: they were bought for $24.95 each. If you scored 1000 of these -- that is only a $24,950 investment. For a big dealer that is nothing.

    NOW, look at the potential resale. 1000 coins = $500G's. What if they wait until the price hits $700 each? Easily could happen this fall. The return is huge. Why jump?


    YET -- this is not over with the Annual sets either. You may find a few lurking in the stacks -- may not show up for weeks. I personally hope not, since that will precipitate a rush never before seen at the mint.

    As much as I believe the Mint has better things to do, the fallout of a sudden release of VERY VALUABLE coins will not bode well for the Mint. They will be flooded, and that's fine for the few "hits", but the reject returns

    will cripple them.

    It isn't just seniors that don't check their coins. You guys are all collectors, most view yourselves as numismatists. The vast majority that purchase on a regular basis from the mint are not serious collectors and certainly are not numismatists. They also are of varying ages. Many never open the boxes. Some do glance, and then in the closet or bank they go. They don't know a PCGS from a CoinWorld from a CU Forum, and don't care. In dealing with dealers and the public full time for 30 years, I can tell you, this is the reality.

    John, you "hit the nail on the head." The missing coins are out there and in time will re-appear. (probably with milk spots)

    About the publicity- I tend to think that it HAS NOT really received much publicity. It seems that NN hardly addressed the coin. Of course they mentioned it but seems like follow up by the editors of that publication was light. Now some of the tv retailers were selling them but that was limited also. I suspect that when the red book and other coin guides start including it then it's popularity could find more support. This is not a bad long term hold in my opinion.

    Wonder what the likelihood will be of the 2008 with 2007 reverse ASE getting added to Coin World’s Coin Values?

    Edit: Went ahead and submitted this question to Coin World. Their response (if I received one) will be posted.

    The September edition of Coin Values does list the 2008 with 2007 reverse... but has no price listed.
  • pitbosspitboss Posts: 8,643 ✭✭✭
    In the pop reports, the PCGS 70 coins have increased to 259 while the 1st strike coins are still at 168 70's. I think this is going to be a very valuable coin in the near future. One just sold for $2750 on ebay and seem to be increasing lately.

    I personally never thought more 07 reverse coins would be found. however many on this board were hopeful the dollar sets would contain more of them !! If I`m not mistaken. the mint policy is retrieve all errors & destroy them so they can`t get out into circulation, if possible !!! With 47,000 errors produced how many got out is the big question ?

    That was a 2 coin MS70 FIRST STRIKE SET...2008/ 7 & 2008 reg. Both graded by PCGS FS 70

    Can't judge the price by those ... the PCGS MS70 FS 8/7 have sold in the $2300 - $2400 Range ... The non FS PCGS 70's in the $1400 - $1600 range ...

    It likely would have taken more than 47,000 ASEs just to make up the dollar sets. In order to get an error/variety into the set they would have had to have made them all up early and then put them in a warehouse for 2 or 3 months. I don't see them doing that any more than I see Ford stockpiling new vehicles.

    Big jump in the PCGS pop. report for the non first strike

    8/17 totals........1344
    8/24 totals........3093

    First strike
    8/17 ...............1669
    8/24 ...............1674

    Looks as if all some of those "unacounted" ones, are coming out of the shadows.

    Looks like the PCGS first strike will be the key coin.

    I seriously doubt many 8, 9, or 10 year olds know about this variety. IMO, the only way that is going to happen is if people who are in the know allow their kids to play with their coins and educate them about this particular variety, OR say, a curious 10 yr old's grandfather just passed away, the coins went to the father who had little interest, and the 10 yr old starting googling coins to see how much they're worth.

    PS: the above is how I got started collecting when I was 9. My dad didn't have too much interest when we got my grandfather's coins. I used to be thrilled when he let me take them all out of the closet and look through them.
    PSS: We also didn't have google yet when I was 9 image

    with all due respect to other long timers on the forum

    the dollar sets were not packaged yesterday, nor were they packaged last week, or last month

    they were packaged at least 2-3 months ago and readied for sale.

    the possibility of these sets containing a 08/07 dollar does exist, but probability fades as more and more reports of not finding one surface.

    even with the reports on this board, they only cover a group of maybe 500-1000 sets maximum.

    keep looking. if they are not any more to be found, it calls the 47,000 number into question.......

    even if the foia response supports the dies used and 47,000 produced, it may not include any coins recovered from current stock and destroyed (if the US Mint actually destroys these so-called errors or varieties anymore.....they might just like to release them for publicity)

    << <i>I wonder if the NGC and PCGS MS69's will start to converge on one price. >>



    With the PCGS MS-70 having such a price differential over the NGC MS-70, I'm guessing that collectors or investors are going to want the PCGS in MS-69 which should give it an advantage in price realized.

    There are starting to be a lot of both 69 and 70's graded by PCGS but there are not many graded in first strike. That is where there is going to be a big difference in price. The window for first strikes has long ago passed and even sending in unopened boxes at this time is tough because you don't know if there are any errors in the boxes or not.

  • jessewvujessewvu Posts: 5,065 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Well, either way I am holding onto the rest that I have. I have a good mix of both NGC and PCGS in both ER/First Strike and 69's and 70's (I only have 5 70's, 2 ngc ER, 1 pcgs First strike, and 2 pcgs regular MS70). Maybe I will give them to my son since he was born this year. They might get him through college in 18 years (financially that is)!
