    Can we trust numbers from April Fool's Day? Probably, since the government has no sense of humor...

    The $1 uncirc numbers are correct.

    And the clad could sell out in just over 9 years...

    New numbers. Silver sales pick up, sharp dropoff on the gold, and then there's the clad...

    Looks like First Strike days away from expiring as they went on sale March 15th.

    ... Looks like you have to submit a minimum of 5 coins to get the label...

    That minimum requirement is for on-site grading in Baltimore. To get the label for any office-graded submission, there is no minimum required.

    From https://www.pcgs.com/labels/2018BCRF

    I got a question if you wanted the first strike designation do you also have to submitt an extra $18.00 per coin even when you get this special label? Thank you

    I don’t normally collect proofs but I did at least get the half. It looks really nice!

    So how has this Combat themed Coin turned out for Flippers , Floppers and the rare Collector?

    Seems like most new stuff coming out of the Mint doesn't rank highly on the Collector Scale of " need it / dont need it" . But maybe in a year or two , the Stackers will want it at melt or a bit under melt? We shall see.

    Cant flip them if the Mint spits out poor quality.

    Your better off buying them graded by the Proffesionals. I sent in a bunch for grading to PCGS, ALL OF THEM CAME BACK PR69 making them worthless! That was PCGS that is. Ohhh I could of sent them to NGC they would ALL COME BACK PR70's.

    Quality isn't the flip problem. You can't flip anything, not matter how beautiful, when it is still available at issue cost from the Mint.

    Whatever! If you say so why disagree.

    Huh?

    It's a simple fact. "Flip" refers to buying from the Mint and then selling at a higher number into the marketplace. Flipping only works on sold out items. No one with a brain would pay me $75 for a silver proof set when they can buy the same thing for $55 from the Mint. If you can sell out an ugly coin in 25 minutes, you can flip it for huge profits. If a beautiful coin never sells out, you can never flip it.

    Your right I was just in a bad mood after I found out they did not give me First Stike designation on the coins.
    sorry I took t out on your post.

    coinpalice going to call customer service now see if mine should be First Strike designation.

    Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I didn't respond yesterday in this thread, but I did set the investigation, then the repair, in motion. I'm glad the team reached out to you quickly.

    If the Mint would do an Offshoot of this Series .. " Famous Breast Queens of the USA ", it might see tremendous success.

    I could see various BIG Actresses from past US Herstory drawing lots of Attention from everywhere.

    All the hoopla might even drive up interest in this current Mint emission.
