If you're looking at putting together a grading set of Wounded Eagle SACS...

I know many collectors are attempting to put together grading sets of certain dated coins.
Here's an opportunity to acquire the difficult grades (the 66 and 67). Super low pops. The work is getting them crossed, but outside of that
you would be well on your way to a great set of these.
(Not my auction! Nor, do I know the seller! Just passing along an interesting auction for those who would be interested.)

MS64 MS65 MS66 & MS67 Wounded Eagles. One lot.

    I've looked at thousands of 2000-P Sacs and haven't found one yet- those are tough coins!

    I personally see 4$ worth of coins with 20$ worth of plastic. That lot will never sell anywhere near that silliness, if it moves for 250$ I would think the buyer is buried

    ^What is it you collect and may we be free to express our displeasure in whatever it is and proceed then to mock you for it?

    Honestly, all I've seen from you lately is ridicule. Is there a part of collecting coins that does sit well with you?

    I guess that post did come off as Debbie downer and i am sorry for that but having a negative opinion of D Carr and sellers who want 13k for 4 common change level coins with a die sctatch in bottom tier plastic is the norm not the exception in the hobby.

    Note I said Carr and the seller, collectors can buy what thy like and enjoy. I have never knocked a collector

    Crypto's kinda right, the price is outrageous and its modern stuff. Look at all the hoards of coins that come out of the woodwork, theres gotta be a decent amount of these still not even discovered with the mintage of this issue and the fact no one like dollars coins and there hard as hell to get circulating. I also see someone getting buried for a long time in these.

    "Crypto's kinda right, the 1) price is outrageous and its modern stuff. Look at all the hoards of coins that come out of the woodwork, 2) theres gotta be a decent amount of these still not even discovered with the mintage of this issue and the fact no one like dollars coins and there hard as hell to get circulating. 3) I also see someone getting buried for a long time in these.

    1) The price of many coins within multiple of grades is "outrageous" by your standard of evaluation. 1925-S Peace dollars, for example, between the grade of MS64 and MS65. Or, the little detail of a FBL on a Franklin half (1953-S) or the FSB on a Mercury dime (1945-S). Just about any series can be knocked down via this same system of judgement.
    2) Why? What makes that determination? There hasn't been yet any hoards discovered. It's been 12 years of collectors looking and check the pop of a PCGS MS67. You'l be shocked, unless you're already aware.
    3) Price point on any coin in any series again can be ridiculed as well as really any hobby. My wife doesn't understand why the cost of a bright red first year issue Lincoln cent is 5K.++ and any attempt to explain it to her, as a non-hobbiest, is met with deaf ears.

    I'll say I would love to see one in the lowest grade of the group at a decent price in or hosts plastic. But it may be a hole in my set forever just like the Cheerios will.

    What I'm saying is that the 2000 p has a mintage of 767,140,000 thats a lot of coins , I'm sure plenty of unopened canvas bags of these are sitting somewhere, I don't see any but one of two here and there and even the banks around here only have whats deposited because no one wants them, not talking about the wounded eagle, small dollar coins like the Sacagawea. To someone these might be cool, I would not pay a multiples for these at any grade, unless I had a buyer lined up. I would pay multiples for classic coinage, even more for better eye appeal to me. The reason is what I stated above millions of this date where coined and most people don't want them. When I search coins I'm not looking through Sacagwea's some people might be but the allure of golden dollars for me is like much of the public I could care less and don't want them in my pockets let alone my collection, but hell some people will buy modern coins for thousands and thats there choice.

    Edited to say buy them then take to a dealer or dealers and see how many will even offer you a price on these. Thats the price point, they are not liquid but to a select crowd and I'm sure its slim. Lets watch the auction and see if they ever sell at their asking price, I bet its lowered then eventually just taken off and sent to teletrade or heritage just to get their money back out of it.

    Also what makes you think that they would get the same grades at pcgs? the ms64-66 at pcgs have 20 or more each and that not rare to me considering how many more could be out there being such a modern issue of very low circulation
