    Just edit the other two threads and make the title '.' (a single period). They'll fade away
    naturally after that. Patience is a virtue when dealing with the CU forum these days.
    Even if you end up getting a timeout message, your post will often have gone through.

    I have 10 of them..... in my sealed box of 10 sets.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I've looked through almost 100 sets - nadda. Only heard of one so far at another TPG. Are there reports of others?

    I cannot help but believe that the US Mint does this intentionally to increase interest.

    It is just to "odd" that, given the fact that the edge lettering process has been integrated into the regular minting process, these continue to trickle out on a regular basis.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    1st to the market might get $4000. Possibly higher.

    A 2014 Calvin Coolidge attracted $2500
    A 2012 Grover Cleveland attracted $2000

    A 2010 Native American circulation strike attracted $650 while a 2010 Satin Finish Native American attracted $3,250

    There are definitely folks out there willing to cough up blood to own one of these and with only 50,000 minted, its a sure bet that this Enhanced Uncirculated coin is going to bring out some big fish.

    Probably not a good idea but I think Im gonna open up my last 2 boxes of 10. And while I'm in on this little treasure
    hunt, maybe I should examine the edges of the 12 sets already unboxed?

    Like playing the Lottery. Not good odds. image

    I would probably wait until #2 shows up before opening your boxes...but...I know...maybe #2 is in the box

    Just strange that there would be just one...

    L&C coins is selling PCGS MS-69 of both positions A & B, for $149 each.

    Can someone explain or point me to a link that illustrates what this means? I did a search on the forum and this thread is the only one that showed up.

    Thanks.

    I found this on Coin World:

    Professional Coin Grading Service is grading the coins with a Mint State (designated as “MS”) designation and noting on the grading label the orientation of the edge device in relation to the obverse design. Position A reflects edge lettering that is right side up; Position B, edge lettering upside down.

    I now understand what the "position" refers to.

    position A or B are not errors. They are the two possible ways the collar die is set up when the coin is pressed. Both are common. There is no right way or wrong way, just two ways of doing it. Applies to the presidential dollars also.

    OP is referring to this

    I recently read about some Mint employee sneeking out many plain edge Presidential coins a few years ago.

    Makes you wonder ?

    Isn't it possible someone found 10 or 20 but only submitted 1?

    I have 42 of the C&C sets. Ive checked 10 so far. I feel no rush to check the other 32.
