For all of you mint experts out there what would you say the life of a die is on the ASE coins. That may get us into the ballpark of how many were made.
Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.
<< <i>For all of you mint experts out there what would you say the life of a die is on the ASE coins. That may get us into the ballpark of how many were made. >>
but who is to say they only used one die? for all we know it was several dies? i am just guessing. at least we are talking about mint products instead of other off topic things.
good to have fresh news to read about here on the forum.
I just checked the mints comments on die life. They stated that for American Eagle bullion coins they get about 6000 strikes and on proofs only 500. Now the Uncirculated coin is probably somewhere between that. Now could more than one die been used? That is hard to say but I would think that if this was truely a mistake then it happened when an old die got mixed up with the new ones and that would be a rare occurance. My guess is that when the mint got word of this they immediately went back and checked all dies. It is possible that more than one old die was used though but I wouldn't think that many were.
Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.
Gainesvillecoins had one auction on ebay with 100 coins. They also sold them on their web site and had multiple auctions for these coins on ebay. Moderncoinmart was also selling on their website and ebay. They were selling the ms69 for only $69.00 on Saturday April 19, 2008 (2 days after ngc posted their article) They sell the 2008 w with 2008 w reverse ms69 coin for $39.00. I think if they thought that it was going to be a rare find they would have sold them a little slower and for a bigger price. I think they are both forum members and wish they would contribute their thoughts.

With the presidential dollars they use I think 6 machines ( but this is to mint over 150 million coins) Whatever the final mintage on these might tell us how many machines they MIGHT have used. But if it like the presi dollar then I would say a tops of 30,000 coins with error rev.JMHO
Maybe they just thought we don't know how rare these are going to be and we don't care -lets just sell them and make a profit margin now. Isn't that the way most dealers are?

I don't know if the number of machines is the best indicator but the dies. Also, dies for circulated coins are used longer.

Where does one find that kind of info. I had been looking for that. . . Thanks. Talking to the folks ATS this morning they seem to think that the most probable scenario is mixed or leftover die(s). Another possibility is that the Phillie Mint's die shop made a bunch of dies from an errant hub. If the latter is the case, the rev. of '07 will probably be as common as dirt.

Look under US Mints Consumer Allerts-then under Hot Items-Then an article about the "First Strike" designation. By the way that article sheds some light on the "first strike" myth.
Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.
I talked with MCM just now. They received 2000 from the mint yesterday, all reverse of 2008. They have been buying them on the secondary market. I bought a few NGC reverse of 2007 at $119 each. didn't seem to bad to me. They said they are swamped with orders. I think they will dry up soon IMHO.

Gainesville and moderncoinmart are volume dealers, they don't hold back. They might still have thousands in inventory or maybe a few hundred, but they will gladly sell them quickly and cheaply to move on to the next hot coin. Remember they have very little invested in these and are making huge profits. It doesn't make any sense running a business on speculation. They have x amount of these coins that they can easily sell for $150 or so, so they will keep sellling until they exhaust their supply. Why wouldn't they? No telling what the future will bring.
MCM had a few hundred total but said none had been received from the mint in their newest shipments. That hashes with my order shipped 4/22 with all 2008 reverses.
I think Gainesville and ModernCoin, ordered, like 1000's + coins.
Order numbers from Gainesville from one day to the next was less than 100, so that' not to many orders and they don't have the MS69's anymore. (they might get more).
I think they probably have a few hundred 'errors'.
This makes it appear there are a lot.
I think all the errors are gone from the Mint.
I also think this will the THE COIN TO HAVE.
I mean a 2006 NGC MS70 goes for $200 !!! I'll bet everything they are a lot less of these errors than 2006 coins.
Well Fedex says my 150 ordered on the 19th will arrive tomorrow before 10:30. Does anyone see potential interest in keeping these sealed for eligibility of Early Release with the boys across the street? Do they operate on the same policy, ie. shipped before the cutoff or postmarked before the cutoff? Have never been to the other side...
Just ordered some from MCM also. Great guys. I'm not waiting on this issue. I bet the supply dries up quick, very quick. When it hits print(Coin World) everyone and their brother who collects these will be on the bandwagon.
<< <i>Looks like Modern Coin Mart is selling them for $119 and $299 undercutting gainvillecoins prices. How many of these do they have? >>
Do you have a link ? thank you in advance, David >>
Was going to give you the direct link but I think you guys just killed the website. Unless they use the same host as the usmint. http://www.moderncoinmart.com/
OK, Modern Coin Mart, I was going to wait on these, but for $127.50 shipped, I went ahead and got one also. A 70 NGC just sold for about 800 dollars in the last half hour on ebay. I am fine with a 69.
Guess that this is really helping the Mint's sales of this very (especially now) overpriced bullion.
I ordered 5 in '06 & '07. Only ordered 2 this year because they're so overpriced. Both '07 Rev. DANG!

i don't they (MCM or Gainsville) have as many as one might think. i get blast emails from MCM on their hot stuff or stuff they wanna move....but nothing on this phenomena. if they had a ton, they'd blast email their prior customers to notify in a heartbeat.
<< <i>I just checked with MCM and it appears they have 16 left of the 69's. What will tomorrow bring......Actually, now gone.

If true, the train has left the station. >>
i wonder how many people bought multiples just to see what happens after a magazine prints an article about it? flip on the bay and it will drive prices down slowly and make them available again?
Wow, that was fast, I saw how much they were bringing on ebay and grabbed one from MCM just in case they don't come down from here. I didn't buy multiples though, but I have all the "w" mint marks and figure this one will be important.

I do not understand. Why would this person, or you, need to protect whatever information you may or may not be keeping? Are these folks, and you, searching the world for other errors before the rest of us dummies figure it out? Is there an incentive for holding this information that is preventing disclosure? I'm just wondering, not whining. If you have some info that would be good for the hobby, why not let it out already?

i am of the opinion there is multiple thousands created and once this article hits the stands people all over will check their coins and if they have dupes... well slap them on the bay for a quick flip!
i think everyone will get to enjoy this variety with a minor premium.
edited to add: i am all bashed out from cac. i drew up the peace flag and i find this thread to be interesting. i like speculating on it.
I sent 40 2008 rev 07 to PCGS yesterday for grading, first strike and Reverse of 2007 labeling. Kept the rest raw of them raw. I hope these do well. These 40 REV07 ASE's are going to be tied up in the USPS, PCGS system for a while.
I have two 2008 Unc ASE's in a sealed mint box that I got today. I am going to wait until June at the Baltimore Show to open them in front of a PCGS employee to see if they have the 07 rev, then they would get the first strike. I don't feel like paying to have the label put on 2008/08 ASE's. I have 10 coming in the mail, I'll open those up and see what's inside since they don't qualiy for first strike.

Because it's now only a rumor as of now - they don't have the pieces in-hand.

No, don't do that! I think it's fun and exciting to hear stuff like this John, I really do. This kind of excitment does not come along often and it could bring some new collectors into the fold. I just might have missed something along the line and I was wondering why it hasn't been revealed yet, rumor or not, that's all. Sorry if I irked you a little, I was really just trying to figure it out. Knowing that you don't have the pieces in hand makes more sense. I was reading it as if whatever the issue was, it was seen on multiple coins and the story was waiting to "break" for just the right moment. You know, like when Fox news says something like “thousands dead, and dying, could you be next? Find out at 11”

Not irked at all, guess I should have put a smiley by the P. S. Logical questions that I would have also asked if someone left me dangling.
I actually called NGC to see about grading the '07 rev that I had sent to Coin World as a "Discovery Coin" (they are leaning toward not, being as so many are now out but still haven't given me the final answer). While talking to this person I was trying to "pull as much info out of him" as I could. LOL

Don't give up on getting NGC or PCGS to holder your coin as the discovery coin John. It is what it is and you have proof. This is quite a feather in your numismatic hat. Congratulations!
i just KNOW some of the XA1 sets have 2008 reverses!!!! hehehe
Hope so!
I ordered an XA1 when I ordered the '08-W ASEs and some Kennedy rolls. Try to combine orders to save on shipping fees.
Everything is shipping at different times XA1 is still BO.

If true, the train has left the station. >>
i wonder how many people bought multiples just to see what happens
after a magazine prints an article about it? flip on the bay and
it will drive prices down slowly and make them available again?
just thinking out loud. >>
With multiple thousand collectors out there the issue is a modern winner imho. FC you surprise me with your inquiries w/o bashing. You been sippin' the houch lately? Believe it or not not everyone collects classic half eagles
<< <i>BTW The guy ATS that I spoke with today told me that there may be some more surprises on the way. . . I promised not to say anything . . .even though it's killing a big-mouth like me . . . but you heard it here first.
All I will say is; ck. ALL of your '07 & '08s in all finishes!

I do not understand. Why would this person, or you, need to protect whatever information you may or may not be keeping? Are these folks, and you, searching the world for other errors before the rest of us dummies figure it out? Is there an incentive for holding this information that is preventing disclosure? I'm just wondering, not whining. If you have some info that would be good for the hobby, why not let it out already?

i am of the opinion there is multiple thousands created and once this
article hits the stands people all over will check their coins and if they
have dupes... well slap them on the bay for a quick flip!
i think everyone will get to enjoy this variety with a minor premium.
edited to add: i am all bashed out from cac. i drew up the peace flag
and i find this thread to be interesting. i like speculating on it.
I forgot they had the 07 obverse!!!! Lmao!!
Because it's now only a rumor as of now - they don't have the pieces in-hand.
Man, I live in Po Dunk GA there's no way for me to "search the world for other errors"
There is no incentive, this person nor I want to start any false rumors. THATS ALL!

P.S. Guess one day I'll learn to keep my big pie hole shut ! ! !
1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!
Will let it go for 150
ungraded but in mint shape

No, don't do that! I think it's fun and exciting to hear stuff like this John, I really do. This kind of excitment does not come along often and it could bring some new collectors into the fold. I just might have missed something along the line and I was wondering why it hasn't been revealed yet, rumor or not, that's all. Sorry if I irked you a little, I was really just trying to figure it out. Knowing that you don't have the pieces in hand makes more sense. I was reading it as if whatever the issue was, it was seen on multiple coins and the story was waiting to "break" for just the right moment. You know, like when Fox news says something like “thousands dead, and dying, could you be next? Find out at 11”
Not irked at all, guess I should have put a smiley by the P. S.
Logical questions that I would have also asked if someone left me dangling.
I actually called NGC to see about grading the '07 rev that I had sent to Coin World as a "Discovery Coin" (they are leaning toward not, being as so many are now out but still haven't given me the final answer).
While talking to this person I was trying to "pull as much info out of him" as I could. LOL

i just KNOW some of the XA1 sets have 2008 reverses!!!! hehehe
This is quite a feather in your numismatic hat. Congratulations!
Hope so!
I ordered an XA1 when I ordered the '08-W ASEs and some Kennedy rolls. Try to combine orders to save on shipping fees.
Everything is shipping at different times XA1 is still BO.
