    The guys ATS not only came through Irma unscathed, but already have a special label for the set...

    ngccoin: NGC Special Label for American Liberty 225th Anniversary Silver Four-Medal Set

    I assume PCGS will have one, but there's no mention of one on their site yet.

  • BigABigA Posts: 2,715 ✭✭✭✭

    That's the same label as the 2017-S EF set

    Me too. Slabbed set probably. Learned from the EU set on pricing.

    What if they let the Dealers buy first with unlimited quantities and Mike with HSN will buy them all up! Sort of like how the dealers got in line first at the Denver show or so I am told. I sure hope I don't have to buy mine from HSN I hear his prices are double. I can see him on TV selling them at a cool $1000.00. With some special limited quantity label. With the Black Eagle Label!!!!! At least ANACS is a Oldie but Goodie! But I think I would rather have a PCGS or a NGC one.

    I reported the pre sale...more than the 30 days in advance that eBay allows for pre sale items. Looks like the seller got the word...listing has ended.

    Agreed but that is what it was last year with the silver Peace medals that sold out in 6 minutes.

    The 12.5K was based on statements made by the mint during the introduction of the 225th anniversary. The mint stated they would double the number of medals struck over 2016. That's 50K medals, at 4/set is 12.5K sets.

    Now, that was a year ago. since then they put a ridiculously high mintage on the gold AmLib, and an unlimited mintage on the silver stand-alone medal, and I fully expect the same for the four-coin set.

    They should make the mintage 22,500. Just sayin'.

  • jmlanzafjmlanzaf Posts: 34,162 ✭✭✭✭✭

    kind of risky for the seller. Suppose it sells out in 2 minutes and he has to buy one on the open market.

    Still a pass for me

  • jmlanzafjmlanzaf Posts: 34,162 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I like the look of them, but I think I'm going to wait for a couple of years and try to buy it more cheaply. 50,000 seems a lot given the limited number of collectors in the audience for this one. I could be wrong, but seems too pricey to take a flier. I mean, they've only sold 44,000 of the medals to date at $60. I suppose $50 each is better than $60 for one (LOL), but still seems like a long term loser.

    I think some of the math on this as has been posted is a bit faulty:
    139-120=19
    NO! FIrst off it's 145. Secondly the wholesale price is WAY less than 120, and will be even less with another 50k coins on the market. I would say the math would be:

    145-85=60. So I don't want the other coins for a net of 60 at all...

    The Mint is trying to suck in people with the HL, trying to make it look more attractive. No way is there 50,000 people collecting these!!

  • KudbegudKudbegud Posts: 4,735 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Well, I'll be one of the 25,000 (if every order is for 2). Just one though. Maybe a 70 set later

    Well, they sold 44,000 of the regular proofs so far. So there's close to 50,000 people who want them.

    The set? Absolutely not. ASE collectors? Absolutely...if you need the S then you have to weigh whether to buy one in the aftermarket or buy this set. I would just buy an S...

    I have a bunch (for me) so the set doesn't interest me but I bet I still buy one

    This was the 2016 American Liberty medals sold last year. There were two of them offered, each having a 12.5K mintage, one from SF, the other from WP.

    I got my 50k's mixed up.... :*

  • If you look at the description of the earlier sliver medal for 2017, it was minted in Philly as a silver proof. This type of coin is different from the 4 coin medal set description. For example, the Silver proof medal is minted in San Francisco, not Philly.

    Only time will tell whether platinum is king.

    I'm buying the Mint Medals because I like the design, so they will be for my PC. I can't afford the gold version, so I'll have to stick to the $50+ silver versions.

    I'm not expecting the EU set go all crazy in pricing. I hope it does well, but my expectations are firmly in reality.

    Folks look at the posters from over 225th set thread.. holding many of 225th sets soon to be left off the radar

    Those members poopoohing the Liberty set ,while holding dead money in sets still waiting for sellout 7 weeks after issue ..

    I'm buying the Mint Medals because I like the design, so they will be for my PC. I can't afford the gold version, so I'll have to stick to the $50+ silver versions.

    I'm not expecting the EU set go all crazy in pricing. I hope it does well, but my expectations are firmly in reality.

    I'm all for the flip. I might buy 4 and flip them myself. All I said, and I stand by it: flip it fast, it won't hold the price.

    And I'm not hanging on to a losing trade. I continue to make money on every sale of coins from the EU sets. It just wasn't a quick flip. In fact, I could have sold out, but I think they'll sell for more next year.
