For the Gold, under the 'specs' it states

Privy Mark - NONE

Second,
For Gold
I wonder if all the dealers will be updating their pictures when we get the Mints Images.

The mint says Proof, I'd assume there will be shiny fields.
Otherwise they'd be mis representing the product

It says the same for the silver medal under 'specs'
Privy Mark - NONE

Really? Then what's this, right there in the description?:

"In addition, 1,794 of the medals will contain a “230” privy mark, and 230 of those privy- marked medals will include a certificate of authenticity signed by United States Mint Director Ventris C. Gibson."

Does the gold product page include that language? If not, we just might have solved the riddle.

All you are pointing to is the fact that 73,206 of the medals will not have a privy mark. Which is 100% true. Has nothing to do with the 1794 that will.

Or with the gold, a separate product that will not have any with privy marks. Because privy marks are not in the specifications, or in the description. It's REALLY not complicated.

How insane are you for this asking price?
"Yes."
Highest buy-now prices on ebay as of 630pm.

>

1. Not the place to advertise sales
2. This seller does not have the coins to sell at this time and likely will not.
3. Buying from an anonymous seller with no coins you are likely to get burned.

Thats a label play - Baltimore Show Release. Only available for coins bought and submitted at the show.

Interesting that images of GOLD with PRIVY have shown up elsewhere (Not my image)
Maybe USM decided to not do PRIVY on GOLD, or, have we yet to hear that they will do it on GOLD as well?

Not interesting at all. It's just a colorized version of the Mint's silver image. How do I know? Because it's not even a proof image.

It's garbage. No rando on the internet has access to a Mint image that the Mint has not posted on its own website. If it makes you hold your breath waiting for a GOLD privy, more power to you.

@coiner said:
They haven’t released a proof image. That’s no evidence at all.
Well I guess we will see soon enough what is garbage and what is not.
Don’t be surprised to see Privy’s showing up on the gold. Im sure the forum members will accept that you were incorrect.

Actually, it is evidence. It's evidence that the image did not come from the Mint, since the coin is, was and always has been a proof. It's evidence that the image is crap someone just whipped up on speculation, and posted to the interweb. To get people like you all worked up. Mission accomplished.

I won't merely be surprised. I'll be utterly shocked, and will be the first to admit if I am wrong. Hopefully you'll honor me with a shout out when I turn out to be right.

The Silver Privy details were not there when the first details hit the mint site.

Someone would be able to pinpoint the exact date those details were added - but, it cant be more than 2-3 weeks old.

True. But I don't remember seeing any details at all, other than it was coming, with a HHL of 1, before they posted the details we see now. At one point, they didn't even have a mintage listed. And, they showed pictures with the privy, and folks on this forum were freaking out, hating it because it took away from the originality of the design.

In any event, that was then, this is now. The gold has details the silver did not have a month ago.

The privy has been announced for the silver. No reason to hide it for the gold if it was coming. Either from us, or from the dealers who have already clearly placed Advance Release and bulk purchase orders.

It's not coming. You won't believe it until 11/14, but it's not coming. The picture you posted is pure fiction. The fact that dealers are offering silver privys for pre-release sale, and not gold, really should tell you all you need to know.

The only things I have ever seen them change, once posted, have been HHLs.

How long have you been looking at their site?

Many years. Have you noticed anything different?

Yes. The mint does whatever it wants. Always has and always will. It doesn't give you all the information on first listing. They change whatever they want whenever they want.

Do you have any examples of things they changed, other than HHLs, after publishing details on their website?

Clearly they have placeholders for upcoming issues, but those have no details. And then later details are added.

But I have never seen details changed, as you are speculating might happen now with the gold coin. Do you have a single example? Or are you just saying they can, therefore they must have, although you don't have a single specific example to point to?

How about the 2014 $1 coin and currency set

When it was first listed it, it didn't say it was enhanced uncirculated.

Wow, you sounded so sure of yourself!

Yup. You got me. 10 years ago they snuck an unexpected finish past us. Get your orders for the gold in now, because a surprise privy just might be in the box. Because 2014 Coin and Currency. 🤣

By the way, did they ever change the description on the website? Pretty sure they did not. The coins just ended up having an unexpected finish, as I recall.

Here, they explicitly said what they are doing with the medals, specifically to goose sales. Good luck with a 2014 Coin and Currency unexpected surprise with the gold, for no particular reason.

If they add some verbage when they put the pictures up you will probably say something like "it wasn't officially listed until the picture is up." There is something wrong with you.

It appears the privy marks were a last second addition to the silver medals, and they might be for the gold as well. That is all anyone is saying. Nobody, not even you knows for sure what will happen. You can huff and puff but the mint will decide what happens, not us.

This medal is of the original U.S. Mint design for our first silver dollar "coin".

It IS different in that regard. I have never been interested in medals from the U.S. Mint or anywhere else.

I am very interested in this release.

Agreed. Just the amount of commentary in this thread is an indicator of the interest that the 230 has generated. This is even more manipulative than Phillip Diehl's 95-W Proof Silver Eagle.

Yeah, there's absolutely more than 230 collectors/investors/speculators who will bid this thing up.

Yes. "It appears." Except it wasn't. They had pictures up with the privy weeks they let us know they would only be on 1794 medals. Nothing similar with the gold, other than people not knowing how to view anything other than wash, rinse, repeat. So they are looking for things that simply are not there.

Yes, I happen to know for sure what will happen. There is not going to be a privy on the gold coin. Take it to the bank. or continue to argue with me. And then, when I turn out to be right, argue that I am nothing more than a blind squirrel who found an acorn. It's all good.

If you are really in this for the silver privy; your only real chance is to order quantities once the limit comes off (usually 24 hours)—I would say you would have to have a opening large order of 100 pieces to have a fighting chance...............

Who's to say there will be any available once the HHL is lifted?

They just raised the HHL to 5.......................................................

Maybe none available tomorrow? Who knows. But with a HHL of 1; I would think some would be available after HHL is lifted.

PCGS has already graded 786 of these medals, and 34 (4.3%) are with the privy mark.
With only 1794 (2.4%) privy marks of the 75k being minted, I believe our chances have worsened.

Anyone else?

I logged in but don't see the waiting room - what am I missing?
