I received mine yesterday. Beautiful coin.
Absolutely!
I did the standard shipping and live on the West Coast so I’m guessing I am one of the last people to receive one.
Not quite the last. I did the standard shipping and live on the west West Coast and mine is still "Processing". If I am lucky I will see it in a week or two... So I would say you are doing well to have yours in hand. Looks like a nice Eagle.
Keeping or flipping?
Off to our host. Should be there by Monday according to the receipt

Not sure yet. I don’t collect Silver Eagles but I got this one for such a good price ($83 for a proof!) that I might keep it.
But I might do a trade if someone has something I need for my own collection.
Enjoy!
Ah ok I didn’t know that. Yeah it’s a beautiful coin!
From what I’ve read the US Mint only mails out small batches at a time so as to not overwhelm the postal service with say 75,000 packages in one day. I read they usually do 3,000-5,000 per day on business days only so no shipping on weekends.
Nice congrats!
Keep in mind sometimes they are delivered early.
According to USPS mine wasn’t officially supposed to arrive until Monday the 16th. That was the expected delivery date on the USPS tracking website.
But I got it today.
Someone told me USPS doesn’t hold items for delivery and instead they get it there as fast as possible based on the service paid for. So if it’s 1-3 days they try their best to get it there in 1 day. If they can’t do it they try for 2. But they won’t hold it if they can get it there early like some postal services.
I figure hopefully it gets there to our host by Monday or Tuesday. Will take a couple days for it to be accepted into the system then regular service tier so give or take about 15 days, then time back so maybe three weeks till back with me

Unless you’re in another country I don’t think it will take anywhere near 3 weeks.
It only took mine 8 days from the moment I ordered it to the moment I had it in hand and I used the slowest shipping possible and live about as far away from where it was shipped from as you can get in the continental US.
mgarmy did you send just the encapsulated coin for grading or sealed box?
@ricko Maybe you have something to trade that this young man might want? You needed this for your ASE collection?
Got mine today. Did not open yet.
What's that big spot to the right of Liberty?
Just received mine, kinda small "V75" for all the hoopla. Keeping it and sending it in for grading soon.
You mean the V75? 😂
I don’t think gentle opening the box really matters. I didn’t take the ASE out of the holder so it’s still in the same condition as from the Mint.
The only thing I touched was the box and container and I washed my hands first so it’s not like I left any finger prints or caused any sort of damage or blemishes.
If he does I would definitely consider it.
I collect old (Pre-WW2) silver & gold American coins as well as Ancient silver & gold coins.
However I’m also willing to add to the V75 Silver if the coin offered is worth more.
I could add like a 1oz American Gold Eagle or something if the value of the coin is worth both.
Yes, the "V75". .
I figure some people who collect Silver Eagles will consider the V75 to be essential to completing the Silver Eagle collection no?
Unless proofs don’t count.
I only collect proof ASE getting the coins, not that bad or expensive, getting them in 70 including the low mintage and the error in 70 was challenging

I had a mid size usps priority box and the box for the ASE was bigger than the one they normally send but it fit so I did not even open it. It was snug in the USPS box, put in the paperwork, used threaded tape to lock it up and seal corners and it was gone.

Or if someone is just doing a date set.

No I live in Va. I will be pleasantly surprised if I get it back sooner, hopefully with a 70 or else I am going to hemorrhage money trying to get one in 70. Took three try’s and four submissions(one crack out resubmit) to get the
ERP to 70. Which sucked because everybody was pulling 70.

Oooh you meant get it back from the grading company.
I thought you meant getting it from the US Mint.
Date set? Like all 2020 ASEs? Aren’t there only like 3? Normal, Proof and V75.
A date set would be one ASE for each year of issue. Starting in 1986 to the current year. Someone building the set could just fill their 2020 slot with the regular ASE if they couldn’t get the V75.

Yeah that’s what I mean someone doing a date set could skip the V75 but if someone is doing a full ASE collection with all dates, mint marks and proofs they would want the V75 because it’s a legitimate ASE and you can’t say you have every ASE without it.
The American Gold Eagles I think would have a lower demand due to the fact that collecting every American Gold Eagle would cost tens of thousands of dollars and most people can’t afford that whereas collecting Silver Eagles is far less expensive and within the budget of most people.
You could probably collect all of them for under $10,000. Including all the rarest ones.
Isn't this for sale over on the BST?
I hope you enjoy your fake rarity.
As far as I am concerned there is tons of negative karma surrounding your piece. May you keep it for a long time.
Of course, you can't stop yourself from commenting, you are so full of yourself.

No. I had one a while ago but the deal fell through. When I posted it I didn’t have it in hand though. I just had the confirmation email.
? again
Kennedys are my quest...
So much salt 🧂. 😂
Fake rarity is still rarity. Just like the 2019 S Enhanced Proof and 1995-W are still valuable to collectors.
It may have negative karma for you personally but not for the other 99.999% of collectors. 🙄
Oh and I’m not going to stop participating on a forum just because you don’t like it. 😉
Idk what he’s talking about.
It sounds to me like he’s just salty that I managed to get one and couldn’t help himself from leaving a nasty comment. 🤷🏻♂️
I'm still trying to get one. Have it the cart but not fully processed. Another night to lose sleep, lol
USPS handles 143 billion pieces of mail a year. 75,000 packages is nothing for them.
He who knows he has enough is rich.
KEEP trying until sold out
Kennedys are my quest...
That’s just what I read. 🤷🏻♂️
Maybe it has to do with the Mint not being able to package 75,000 of them in one day. Afterall it does take time to put something in a package.
Are they still selling them? 😯
until the mint states that it is sold out, there are more to be had. It is not about profit to me
so adjust attitude to a very very positive one about a chance at purchasing one, and hopefully you will. Doubt always ends the same: disappointment
This is the first time that I was able to actually get a limited in silver but I had chances to order both golds but did not as I did not want them as I am not a flipper or sell coins so I did not hit the final confirm button. Sad but true for many of you. I wanted those who wanted or needed it to have the chance to own one. Life to me is not about making a profit. I am only a lowly collector. I DO NOT SELL COINS! I do not have hard feelings against they that do.
Good luck in your refreshing button.
Kennedys are my quest...
Ah ok I gotcha.
I’m not really a “flipper” or reseller but I think it’s fair game to trade coins for other coins. That was my plan with this one.
Yeah I had a gold one in my bag too but then when I submitted my payment the site banned me and by the time the ban was over it was long gone.
I still have it in my cart! 😂
I tried myself and didn't get it but I don't hold anyone with bad feelings towards them for getting one. To me, that is silly! I tried and lost, no big deal. I had them from 1986 to 2004 and then they were gone and I haven't tried to buy them since. I had some nicely toned ones and most were graded 70 too. Oh well........I will not say what I want to. I am glad you got yours and I am happy for everyone else that got one!
Thanks!
I’m glad you’re one of those people who doesn’t hold other people’s good luck against them.
I feel the same way about the V75 Gold Eagle.
Yeah I had it in my bag and only missed out due to the website banning me but I don’t hold any sort of grudge against the people who got one.
Everyone has lucky moments and some got lucky this time but maybe others will next time.
Either way it’s not like it’s a $10,000 coin or anything. Anyone who really wants a V75 Silver Eagle can still get one at a somewhat reasonable price. $400-$500 isn’t too bad considering how much other key date coins cost.
The Coin Vault was selling the silver V75 OGP or PF69 for $900 last night. Mine came today so it will be off to our hosts probably Monday. Only 2 coins have been graded by PCGS: one 69 and one 70. Good luck to everyone sending one in.
If you were only going to have one silver eagle in your collection that would certainly be a nice pick!
Yeah I agree. I’ve always been interested in learning about WW2 so having a 75th anniversary one is probably the best one for me.
Really?? They’re selling on Ebay for like $500.
Pretty sure anyone who sent one in without touching it would grade 69-70 no?
I mean they did come straight from the Mint so if no one takes it out of the capsule it comes in they should be a PF69-70.
I don’t think I’ll send mine in though. I know a lot of people prefer them in OGP.
Don't let anyone make you feel bad about what you do with your coin. It's yours. You can sell it for crack if you want. it's yours and you can do whatever you want with it.
Well I mean as a collector myself I would be frustrated too if people with no interest in coins were buying them just to flip and make a profit.
It only inflates the price for real collectors and I feel like that takes away from the fun of collecting.
I was actually going to dodge the household limit and buy several of them for myself using my parent’s house, my grandparent’s house, my girlfriends house, my uncles house etc.,
But then I realized I would be no better than the people who use bots and that I would be taking something from the people who just wanted one for themselves because they like it.
That’s just my opinion on the matter.
