OK, I really like the look of the 2017-S Enhanced Finish Nickels. I now have 3 full boxes of 20 pcs,,,,,,, 60 coins total.

All PCGS SP70. ----- Well 5 pcs are NGC SP70

I have 10 different various label varieties.

1st Strike Flag Label
1st Day of Issue Flag Label
1st Strike San Francisco Label
Denver ANA 1st Strike
Denver ANA 1st Day of Issue
225th Anniversary 1st Strike
1st Day of Issue Denver ANA Gold Foil Label
1st DAY OF ISSUE AMERICAN LIBERTY DENVER ANA LABEL
1st DAY DENVER ANA LABEL 225th ANNIVERSARY SET
NGC 1st DAY DENVER ANA LABEL 225th ANNIVERSARY SET

What say you,,,,,,,, do I have a problem? Should I go for an even 100 pcs?

I have been getting them at $10 - $11 ea or less shipped lately.

I have some at $6.50 or so shipped.

Do I have a problem???????

Is there a support group that I can join somewhere???

I do have 5 pcs of the cents several dimes, quarters, halfs and dollar coins as well but nothing like the nickel coins.

The 1st step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem,,,,,,,, or so I have heard. ;););););)

    If you like them, that’s all that matters!
    Maybe you can even corner some of the market. :)

    I believe you need to sit in a "winged" chair ;) or Is there a "Triple-N" group?

    the ungraded sets are now sold out with only a 210,000 population. I don't see a problem, they should appreciate over time, you bought in cheap enough

  • GRANDAMGRANDAM Posts: 8,623 ✭✭✭✭✭

    210,000 pcs,,,,,,, I have alot of buying yet to do,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I want ALL of them!!!!!

    it's too bad you didn't pick up any with the Cleveland signature when they were cheaper, they are almost unaffordable now

    Yea, I am aware of those but they always sold for more than I wanted to pay.

    Believe ! Don't ever let your feet touch the ground ......... and you will know true happiness. If you become the King of 2017 Slabbed Enhanced Uncirculated Nickels , buying up hundreds at a time, Dealers will experiece extreme joy whenever they see you. You will soon be the center of a mobile Plastic Love Fest.

    It is only a problem if YOU think it is a problem... to hell with other people's opinion. Just roll around in your coins, wallow in them, and sleep with them. :D:D Cheers, RickO

    Too Much! The mint should be prosecuted.

    I have to believe that 5 years down the road when all the current dealer inventory is exhausted they will have to be worth alot more than $10 ea. :#

    Supply isn't the consideration. Demand IS the consideration.

    Between now and whatever future time you want to project to, the Mint will come up with additional 'novelties' and the promoters and the crowd will move on from 'last year's boy wonder'.

  • ashelandasheland Posts: 23,445 ✭✭✭✭✭

    All those labels make me really appreciate the simple blue label on regular slabs!

  • FullStrikeFullStrike Posts: 4,353 ✭✭✭

    One good thing about Nickels in hard Plastic Slabs.... I think most Burglars would leave them be. TOO much work for a Nickel payday.

  • GRANDAMGRANDAM Posts: 8,623 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Well, I am at 64 pcs as of today. ;)

    If you get to around 200,000 you'll be able to say " You know something .... that guy with the bunch of Sackie/ Washington Mules ain't got NOTHING ON ME " !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey Dowgie,

    You know you are 1/2 of the team,,,,, maybe 1/3 of the team that got me hooked on Jefferson’s many moons ago!!!!!

    Yes, I now remember there were three of you guys involved in this conspiracy. ;););)

    I can understand your enthusiasm for coins and for nickels especially.
    But I think the "new" obverse design adopted in 2006 is absolutely dreadful.
    Just my opinion though.

    I own NO nickles per say but I have that same problems on SAE , and now Good for Tokens and Civil War Tokens. I cant stop buying. I understand your problem but I cant help you. In fairness I own a few sets of coins I think there are some nickles in them. I don't think they command much money as the other coins. Good luck

    Forum Intervention is needed. Who has a van and tape that won’t leave any adhesive residue?

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    I didn't like the new design at first but after all these years it has grown on me.
    That said it would be nice if they went back to the old design. I thought the new design was only going to be tempory,,,,,,,,,,,, ( a few years) when they changed it.
