Good luck with the graded set from NGC I sent in the paperwork and thankfully epcjimi1 talked me down.Its crazy they will get away with selling out those for the 1159 but I guess it really doesn't matter anymore. Finally opened my fidelitrade box and was surprised they all look very good. Done with these and moving onto the next ones. Good luck to all who are thinking of collecting the series, my guess is the ap's now know after experimenting and any new releases will be picked to death. Any reports of 69dm from jack yet? didn't think so..................Enjoy

Im thinking a 69DMPL from that AP will be the rarest coin of the series. That is included in a regular set of 5 to the average joe,Sure they have many in the vault. If they have an elevator it plays carnival music,I apologies in advance to all carnies out there.
I thought I'd post some pics of PCGS 68 vs. 69 coins for Lightrender3D and anyone else interested. These are not real easy to photograph--lots of reflective fields--but hopefully it will help.
Both are PL. I am no expert on grading but I marked what I thought were a few problem spots on both coins. A better comparison would be coins of the same type and lower grades, but I don't have graded versions of those kicking around. The few DMPLs I've seen have far less die polish on the Washington side.
Hotsprings MS68PL (Note that the mark by the "N" in Springs is a hair or piece of plastic)
Mount Hood MS69PL (Note that the scratch above "Liberty" is on the slab.)

Holy, moly!!! That's some wicked die polish on both of those! I guess it's a good indicator that die polish doesn't affect the grade, although who is to say they would have gone DMPL without the die polish on the obverse. How are the mirrors on the reverses? DMPL? PL? Both sides have to be DMPL or it will get downgraded to PL or less...

Got the JHCBs in just 3 minutes ago. Took the day off, just to relax, and all of a sudden the FedEx Home Delivery truck shows up and rings the bell. Hadn't gotten any notice that anything was due, except the wife is still waiting for a late delivery for my birthday gift from last week (she procrastinates and whatever she ordered is very slow).
Noticed a small box from Kenmore, NY. JHCB.
Thanks to Coinboy's informative update a few days back, I shook the box. Heard a little shaking going on inside....like a box in a box. Now, I have received 4 sets today so far and this is the first set I have ever opened to look at (opened 1 set but kept it within the bubblewrap as I transferred the contents to something easier to ship to the purchaser......I had sold it "unopened" and so I took that seriously in that I wouldn't even look at them).
Well, first time I have held the slabs as well. Large, obviously, but smaller than I thought they would be. In alphabetical order, here is what I received:
(all FS) Grand Canyon - PCGS MS68PL Hot Springs - PCGS M68DMPL (gotta admit, this looks better in a larger size than the actual quarter does) Mount Hood - PCGS MS68PL Yellowstone - PCGS MS68DMPL Yosemite - PCGS GEM BU (Some hits in the date appear to be the reason it was GEM BU'ed, though I must be missing something else as they aren't that bad, imho)
So, now I have to decide....keep for a bit, or flip right away. Gotta admit, I like them better than I though, particularly in the PCGS plastic (rather than raw....if they were raw, I would try flipping them like a coin...heads/tails...and probably sprain my thumb ).
I still have the Apmex coming...supposed to be PCGS there as well....but no grade, right? Mine are still in "Vault B" but I did call them to make sure there were no problems with the order, yesterday, as I paid with a CC and thought they would ship sooner (no go on that it appears), and they said all was well and all the sets were in "Vault B"...which is just a storage spot.
So, Coinboy, THANK YOU for your forum update on the different packaging that JHCB did with these....the weight on the package did also say "2.0lbs", but felt heavier, and, without your post about this, I honestly would have left it unopened and just sold it that way.

The reverses are pretty clear of die polish. (The photos and lighting may have accentuated the die polish to some degree too). They might have gone DMPL had the Obverses been die-polish clear.
Here is an obverse from a GC 69DMPL. Unfortunately, the obverse was taken under different lighting conditions, but the lack of die polish compared to the others is quite striking.

That die polish is nothing. I have a few that look like they were attacked with a Brillo pad.
Pucks without die polish are amazing to look at. There's a huge difference in reflectivity. Maybe I'll try posting images of a die polish free coin this weekend unless someone else beats me to it.
So I can see that as long as its very very minor and one or 2 marks on a coin, I can still get it graded as a 69. That's very helpful. Anyone have images of a 67 and a 66 Coin? WOuld be helpful too!

I received my Prudential order forms back yesterday in a body bag. I hadn't signed next to the By: line - just printed my name. OK I'm an idiot. And I sent a copy of my passport, not driver's license. Their order page said "government issued photo ID" so I think that's BS. Anyway, I packed up a now compliant (hopefully) set of forms and will send it out today (regular mail, not express.) If I miss out, well, I've accumulated too many of these anyway. I have a feeling they must be rejecting a lot of orders.
My PB forms are going out today. Couldn't resist any longer. Set number 12. Should be enough I think. Now Come on PUCKS. BABY needs NEW SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for posting these, it really helps. I'm actually kind of surprised with the number of flaws they can have and still make 68/69PL. This gives me a lot of hope that I could have some 69DMPL among my sets.
I had just renewed my NGC membership for the 5 "free" submissions when it came out that NGC was no longer grading PL. So what I'm thinking is I'll pick out 5 coins that are clean but not proof like (pretty much describes by AMarks, which look like they were polished with scotch-brite pads) and send them to NGC. Then pick out my best PL to send to PCGS. Haven't submitted to PCGS before so that will be a new adventure.
Not sure about the pucks but my prediction for silver one year from now is $94.50. So silver content would be $2400 for a set of pucks. Throw in some numi value and baby's got some new shoes This is of course my opinion only and not trading advice!

Well I was really late to this game but sure have enjoyed the info in this thread. Best I can tell Prudential and Dillon Gage are the only ones with these left...correct? I sent in an order to Prudential yesterday which should have arrived there this am so have my fingers crossed there are still some left when they get to my form. I have never sent in anything to PCGS but think that if I get these I would like to, if they look ok. Could someone share how much it costs to get a set of these graded at PCGS after the membership fee? Thanks!
Been a lurker (and hopefully learner) in this thread for quite a while. Many many thanks to all for your posts.
Despite a late start and minimal extra capital for collecting, with the help of this thread I eventually was able to get a raw ATB set for my own enjoyment, but more recently this newbie couldn't resist a JH set for bullion near spot…and wound up with three GEM BUs, a Yel-MS68DMPL and a Yos-MS69PL.
Thinking selling might be worth it in my situation - but _zero_ experience. This thread goes way back, but I'd appreciate any comments on current conditions. Are dealers still interested in buying ATBs? eBay for someone with no previous sales? How much of a gamble on prices continuing to decrease as the 2010 numismatics, and 2011 bullion - and can't find it but think I recall someone posting about not too long ago about a bunch of newly reported 69s - all enter the market?
Ok. SO now I"m curious how many sets everyone bought. haha.
I've gone through 7 sets now. Sold my very first 1 raw (Which I now realize I shouldn't have since they were very high quality coins) and waiting to grade the rest.

Bought 12 sets including 1 MS68 DMPL set from the Bay. My first set was graded at NGC and sold on EBAY. Waiting on APMEX, COins and things and Prudential. Several going in for grading. Rest going into air tites after acetone wash for safe keeping.
Finally got my MTB set from eBay in the mail today... haven't seen tons of these so I really don't know what they would grade. They all look PL to me and I'd guess MS68 or so.
What was sort of neat is that my Yosemite coin has a 1/4" long strikethrough right in the middle of the mountain on the reverse. Now I've seen lots of strikethroughs on various denominations of coins and never thought they were anything special. But this one is different. It's the first time I've also seen the material that got between the coin and the die that caused the strikethrough! When I first looked at the coin it looked like a little piece of cardboard or something on the surface of the coin. So I opened the capsule to get it off the coin and immediatly discovered that it was a piece of plastic or rubber on the coin and it was sunk into the coin a couple of millimeters. I'm sure some would get upset about the damage on their big quarter, but I thought it was neat to have the strikethrough and the foreign material retained on the coin. I'd imagine the foreign material rarely stays with smaller sized coins.
<< <i><< 10 sets total with two of them still on the way. What a roller coaster!!! >> Let's flush out the flippers... How many did you buy,.... .and how many do you still own???? I'll admit to having only 5 sets left out of 12 >>
I managed to complete a PCGS MS69 DMPL set that I'm keeping. I've got two sets plus 3 individuals at home or being graded now and two more sets on the way. So I have sold just under half of my total of 10 sets. FWIW, I plan on assembling an MS68 DMPL and an MS69 PL set from the rest and sell what's left, including any 69 DMPLs that come back from grading (I expect a couple). I'll probably sell the 69 PL set, too depending on the market...

I can do 4-5 at a time with this tool.
Make sure the all Slabs are all facing same direction if you do more than one at a time.
If you have 1 that is flipped opposite the others in the middle of a stack you get this.
I sure hope that wasn't a 2008.

I've gone through 7 sets now. Sold my very first 1 raw (Which I now realize I shouldn't have since they were very high quality coins) and waiting to grade the rest.

An even 10 sets for me.
OK... OK, 12 if you count Dad's 2 sets

<< <i>10 sets total with two of them still on the way. What a roller coaster!!! >>
Let's flush out the flippers...
How many did you buy,.... .and how many do you still own????
I'll admit to having only 5 sets left out of 12
Bought 5 sets/ sold 2 junk sets to local B&M shop($2200) to purchase 2 others that have not arrived yet for a total of 7 sets. Have all 3 sets
that I presently own either graded or at the graders. I did purchase a grand canyon MS 68 DMPL online with my ebay bucks from the 1st
quarter.
Bought 3 with a friend graded and sold one. One set at PCGS and waiting on a CNT set.

What was sort of neat is that my Yosemite coin has a 1/4" long strikethrough right in the middle of the mountain on the reverse. Now I've seen lots of strikethroughs on various denominations of coins and never thought they were anything special. But this one is different. It's the first time I've also seen the material that got between the coin and the die that caused the strikethrough! When I first looked at the coin it looked like a little piece of cardboard or something on the surface of the coin. So I opened the capsule to get it off the coin and immediatly discovered that it was a piece of plastic or rubber on the coin and it was sunk into the coin a couple of millimeters. I'm sure some would get upset about the damage on their big quarter, but I thought it was neat to have the strikethrough and the foreign material retained on the coin. I'd imagine the foreign material rarely stays with smaller sized coins.

I managed to complete a PCGS MS69 DMPL set that I'm keeping. I've got two sets plus 3 individuals at home or being graded now and two more sets on the way. So I have sold just under half of my total of 10 sets. FWIW, I plan on assembling an MS68 DMPL and an MS69 PL set from the rest and sell what's left, including any 69 DMPLs that come back from grading (I expect a couple). I'll probably sell the 69 PL set, too depending on the market...
