    Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.

    Did not get the gold. I did not want to pay that high of a premium over the value of the gold. I bought the silver medal instead. I really like the design and feel that the silver is a cleaner (less cluttered) version of the design. Love it.

    Well lets see. Gold premium above melt: approx 33%
    Silver medal....approx: a whopping 350% above melt

    $900 is a bit more than $60. At least that's what my banker told me.

    Burnie…it looks like the rim is eaten away near where it says states. I hope it isn’t anything but my bad eyes.

    Yeah that looks bad. That would be enough to keep it from getting a PR70 right?

    You observation is correct. I took it out to make sure there was damage on the coin. It is, I'll be sending it back. Thanks

    Yes.

    Very odd. Struck through? Planchet defect?

    I understand your feelings. I ordered one coin. I am hoping it is a solid mint coin. I would be upset too.

    The proper thing to do would be to melt it.

    How in the hell can the Mint send something so damaged like this coin is? This shows that there is NO quality control at the Mint.

    An original subject. On a US coin. Quite extraordinary. I might buy one, someday, if/when the hype goes away.

    Perhaps a similar coin with a Sequoia would also be cool. Those are almost as emblematic American as the bison.

    I'm not playing the modern mint lottery again though. Ever.

    Might end up doing just that. All I can see Wright now is the order number as of yet it won’t go to the order details page for some reason. That’s never happened to my orders before. Hoping it doesn’t kick the order out and cancel.

    Unless the mint deems this to be a QC slip, I'm pretty sure they will (try to) resell it to a less discriminating buyer. Having bought a few closeout mint items, they almost always seem to arrive with defects like this (likely re-packaged returns). Many noob collectors or coin gift givers would not be savvy enough to recognize the defect (or care about it) and return it.

    This would be unethical by the mint if they do that.........

    I saw the same rim damage with the early Palladium, MS 70 Eagles. Sent one back to a major dealer and got a better version.

    They may not have any. They don't necessarily strike them all at once. If sales are less then the max mintage, it's usually because they aren't struck. And if they aren't selling them on backorder, it usually is because they aren't sure they are going to strike anymore.

    Can anyone help me understand why the mint would do this? To me, it seems like the implementation of household limits to start is what the mint does to ensure a spread of the products.

    Is it to prevent the product from going on a back order status? So for example, if the mint is having difficultly in getting the packaging, and they don’t know if they will get more, they just reduce sales to equal the number they actually have, and increase sales accordingly?

    Or is this a way to possibly offer the coin for sale over a stretch of many months?
