    NOOKER,

    You are welcome. Glad I could help. This is my first order from them. I was looking everywhere for a PCGS 70 flag label set.

    I did a Google search and found them. Seems like a good deal. I hope it works out for both of us.image

    Do they show the total? Meaning 1857 70's out of xxxx total. Your using the certificate number so you only see the numbers for that grade, right? No 69's or 68's.

    69 pop report shows

    671 for the RP and

    586 for the EP

    Registry is more accurate but those are the #'s in the pop report for the FS

    Thanks OPA and Casman.......
    OPA is reporting 70's via the registry method and Casman showed the 69's from the Regular population report. The same that I reported earlier. Two different things.
    what I'm trying to determine is the % of 70's, and by deduction, the 69's referenced to the total graded. The more accurate and up to date registry method needs access where the regular population report is available to anybody. To know the % the total needs to be known in addition to the individual parts. Knowing the count of 70's alone without the total is limited knowledge. 1857 En Unc 70's out of how many total graded? 1858? or 10,000? A big difference in percentage terms.

    Without giving the total graded this number is just a number. 924 out of how many? Is it 50% or 10% 70's? A big difference won't you agree?

    Maybe I don't understand the question but the numbers are available. Does PCGS total them for us? No, but it seems to me that if we simply take the known totals for each, then create the % number.

    For example, if 200- 70's 100- 69's total 300 graded 66% 70's...

    I can't see the registry numbers so I don't know what can be seen. I take it it isn't like the regular population numbers exampled above in a screen grab. I'll do the math from yours and OPA posted numbers:
    Rev PF 69's = 924 of 2741 or 33.7%, 70's = 1817 of 2741 or 66.3%
    En Unc 69's = 736 of 2593 or 28.4%, 70's = 1857 of 2593 or 71.6%
    What is unknown are the 68's and below which would change the total of each type and the % accordingly.

    Well, i have more evidence PCGS favors the big dealers, as if we need more.

    Got my sets from SilverTowne, what a joke. Not blaming silver towne, they didn't grade them.

    Large, obvious marks that can be seen with the naked eye, and i need glasses. I could send these in a million times and never get a 70.

    I really don't think anyone at PCGS looked at these, straight from the Mint capsule to the 70 holder, maybe that is how they got them so fast, no one even looked at them. Any of us 'regular' people wouldn't even send these in to get graded, it would be a total waste of money.


    Thanks to Silver towne for their generous return policy, they are accepting the return without issue . image

    Boo to PCGS, the days of ordering a PCGS 70 and being 99% sure you are going to get a 70 are wayyyy over. image

    Not so absurd. I received 2 PCGS 70 sets from Silvertowne. One is as advertised. No flaws on either coin. The other set has an Enhanced coin graded 70 that shows obvious marks under magnification, as if something was dragged across the coin, which should have been caught by PCGS. I called Silvertowne and they will take the set back but they have no replacements. I also think PCGS standards are slipping at least when it comes to these mass releases.

    . I know that I sold about a third of the 25th and half of the 75th anniversary bulk graded 70 sets I purchased because of obvious marks. To members receiving less than stellar West Point 70 sets,if you don't mind the minor hassles, I would reccomend selling these sets on eBay. Even after fees you'll make some money (around $50) .
    Kevin Crane is good to deal with and he has PCGS 70 sets in hand for $300 if your dealers don't have sets to exchange.

    Is GoldMart at $299 per the best price for these on the net? Is the consensus here that prices will rise or fall back in the future once all sets are shipped?

    Completed prices for PCGS 70 FS in hand on eBay are slowly rising to around $370+ for a set. Judging from past experience, this could either be the beginning of a gradual climb in price or not far away from the "bubble bursting." Toss a coin, it could go either way.

    I think the "enhanced" eagle will keep prices up for a while.

    I received my sets yesterday from the US Mint.

    They all look great (my eyes aren't what they use to be) and will be in Newport Beach Monday morning.

    Here's hoping for a bunch of 70's

    I just was looking at a "Don't Tread on Me" PCGS insert. I was unaware of this. Apparently PCGS is for limited Gov't, so am I.
    July 19th is the cut-off date for FS right? After this date the entire box has to sent in unopened?

    EDIT: Never mind confirmed the July 19th date.

    Has any one who ordered from Goldmart received any correspondence as to when to expect their order(s)? I realize, that when I placed my order(s)in late May & early June, it indicated shipping by the middle of July, however as a courtesy to their customers, it would have been nice to get status updates with definite shipping dates.

    I also ordered a PCGS Flag Label set from Legacy Coins which comes with a free American Silver Eagle book autographed by Miles Standish and OGP.
