I think it's safe to say that the thousand coins returned are not from failed credit cards, duplicate addresses or cancellations from those who were on backorder. (The 1179 number may be in question, too, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt... Heh.)
So there could be up to 7,000 or so coins available, more than last years plat proof... It'll be interesting to see how many actually go back on sale...
Mint's lips are still sealed on what they're going to do with them.
My wag is hh limit of one, unavailable to those who already ordered the max of 10.
Perhaps....add all those "rejects" to a future date 3 coin set. ( Limited quantity of 7k...1 per household...(2 minute sell out) )

Not fair! I called dibs on Dimeman several weeks ago, and I even dropped my price from an obscene profit level to only an exorbitant profit. I'm prepared to wait him out.

Well done, sir, you have bested my lowball lowbrow offer.
Got my one unit from the mint. Has the finning issue-- otherwise looks good. Was going to send it back, but decided to try and get an error label. *shrug*

Lets hope they don't tighten up on their return policy.
PCGS 70 First Strike population past 13,000 and growing. The flip has flopped.
At least when the returns go back on sale at the mint there will be no competition with the flippers for a reject at Mint issue price.
So am I reading those numbers correctly when I see that there are only 18 SP70s that aren't First Strike?
I want to submit one of my own just for fun -- and I think I do want one in a PCGS holder -- but I think I'll save the $18 for FS attribution. Maybe with the green tag.
Does anybody have images of the gold dime in the retro tag holders, or with that "Gold Foil" tag I see in the population report?
Edit to add: nevermind on the green 30th anny holders, I just saw a couple in completed listings on ebay. (And I think I like the look of the regular FS label better.) I'm still curious about the gold foil labels, though. Are some of these labels available at shows only?
Thanks Hattrick. I see that MCM has numerous tag choices. They don't have the gold foil labels from PCGS, but they do have them from the ATS.
My main gripe about all of these labels -- especially from ATS -- that they have *too much information*. I know these are 100th anniversary; I know these are 24k gold; I know these were (virtually) all sold in one day. None of that info will ever distinguish one gold Merc from the next. Six lines of text and a barcode overwhelm these little coins.
Epcjimi1... Thanks for that heads up. Another thing I can tell Justin he needs to keep up on when we go for brunch in 15 minutes. No wonder I have no existing orders! Lol.

Unbelievable how you guys take every little thing and try to twist it to make it out like it is putting somebody down. Nothing against Wondercoin, I too have sold to him in the past.
Just stating he was in the position to make money on a small spread as a reply to him saying why is he still buying if the value is down. It's his business selling coins and he does it well. Nothing wrong with that. Been there done that !!!!!
While his offers are competitive, when prices go down his offers go down weather he has committed orders or not. Has to if he wants to stay in business. Nothing wrong with that and at least he is making a market when others are not.
Still the discussion was the value of this coin is going DOWN and what one person does or does not do will not stop that.

I agree, jwitten, that your pics are incredibly detailed.

I haven't been tracking these...sold my box almost immediately upon receipt.
However, one high price, nor one low price, makes the value.
Some of the high prices are dreams and someone biting. Some of the low prices are people with weak hands that need to pay bills and can't hold for long (or just want out quickly).
Rather than just posting a "low" price, would be more interesting to see a congestion of prices as trends.
Seems some folks just want to wish the worst on the prices/sellers.
No rocket science here. Everyone that has been following these coins knows the price has been going down for some time. And with the PCGS 70 FS population over 20,000 it will go lower.
" If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. " The 1st Law of Opposition from The Firesign Theater
Seems some folks just want to wish the worst on the prices/sellers.
When sale prices are up, let's all tell each other what a great deal was made, when prices are down, "Seems some folks just want to wish the worst on the prices/sellers."
Conversely, if I was looking to buy, "some folks" would be happy at low prices.
That's 6371 coins theoretically on the table. If I'm generous and say 25% of those are deemed damaged or otherwise unsalable by the mint, that still leaves around 4,800 coins to be sold. But still no word on how they're going to sell the rest.
In other, but similar news, it's bizarre that less than 10 days from the release of the C&C set and three weeks before the release of the 2016 Proof APE, that there are still no details released about either product. Hello? Mint marketing department? Anyone there? Hello?

Try Modern Coin Mart. I believe they had the gold foil labels. I also think I saw some in the eBay listings awhile back.

I know these are 100th anniversary; I know these are 24k gold; I know these were (virtually) all sold in one day. None of that info will ever distinguish one gold Merc from the next.

The 70s have dropped to 300 - $310.. 69s cheaper than raw.. fi you have not bought .. wait ............still going lower.. dealer buy under Mint price
Hattrick: But, if that is the case, why do I still need more?
Wondercoin
Because you are trying to buy at the bottom with no cash outlay and sell in bulk for a small margin which you are already locked in with orders.
It's nice for you that you are in a position to make money on a flip on your terms. However it
Does not add any value to an over hyped and over produced product that is on it's way down.

If that's what you think you are far from getting it.
Truth is the market is down to $ 2,200 for a box of 10 and going lower and PCGS 70's have gone below $300 and will also go lower.
