Whats up with covering Pres O on the PCGS label coin.

YaHa

Looking at TT tonight all 3 auctions for a pcgs 69 Ase the label with Barrack is covered. Is this a Fed/law or something?

Also they can write his name in the auction but can't show his face/label? What gives.. Could it be a Police Union protest..

Might be a good idea to grab them while they're still out there!

I have absolutely no idea George since the name was used to initially market these coins!

They simply screwed up in their format. In the past they have shown the label, but you will also notice that the grey box that normally states "TeleTrade" is left blank, also. Since the coins have a different format with grade on the reverse there likely has to be used a different template at TT and someone didn't do it right during listing.

I think the buyer overpaid.

Why would you say that?

The price is about right for ANY Silver Eagle in MS69.

Maybe it's so the other 47% of the population will bid on the auction.

I guess TT figures everyone already knows what he looks like.

There are several that went for about $19 on ebay. Most around 22 or so.

Perhaps they're Republicans.

Maybe someone bid "Stupidly". I'll NOT bid or buy anything about him.

Great! I'm sure there are folks that felt the same way about Lincoln memorabilia back in 1860 as well.

The whole point being, different folks have differing opinions on what they want to set aside.
But, regardless of opinion, if nobody sets any aside then nobody will have them in the future or there will be very few to choose from in the future.

Naw...

It's that a "$30" hammer price on Teletrade...

Becomes $60 when you add in the fees, shipping and taxes.

That is expensive for a slabbed ASE.
