Because they did not make all 100K before today, and have already sold all that they have available to ship right now. So they are continuing to take orders, and disclosing that they don't have them available to ship today. THIS is what I said last year should have happened, but didn't, with the gold and silver FHs, if they weren't flat out lying about what the maximum mintages were going to be.

They knew they were never going to make the maximum published mintage BEFORE they went on sale, but did not disclose until AFTER the short mintage was sold out. Shady, but people were okay with it, because they failed to disclose on the downside rather than the upside. Opposite sides of the same coin to me.

Oh no

Lol.

Same basic demand as the Army. Call it whatever you want.

$200 now. Worth less 12 months from now, in my opinion.

So what? Who cares? $200 now is all that matters. You know this, so why argue?

YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING!!!

YOU are the one who jumped in to argue with an opinion with which you agree. I'm NOT arguing with anyone. I stated an opinion and YOU decided that you should both agree and argue.

Please state for me who I'm allegedly arguing with and of what opinion I have taken an opposing viewpoint.

It is 100% YOU!

I'm arguing with YOU!!!

WHY???

Because someone asked my opinion and I offered it. It wasn't an opinion counter to anyone else's. It was, therefore, NOT an argument. Your thesis has been proven incorrect. And you've even admitted that you are the one arguing with me. QED

I'm out. Life is too short to yell at clouds.

Right. An "opinion" that has no relevance to the point.

You think they'll be worth less than $200 this time next year. So what? Who asked?

The sarcastic question was whether you thought it was hot. Now. Not next year. And your answer was "Call it whatever you want," but it will be worth less in a year. Less than $200, or less than $105?

Call it what you want, arguing or not. Because all you're doing is defending a position that you took last month on another product what was objectively wrong then, and is objectively wrong now.

If it manifests in a year, after all the flippers have flipped, it won't make you right in retrospect now. So, you could say nothing. Or you could say, "yes, I was wrong about the Army privy, and these are HOT, because they are $200 now," without saying anything about next year, because next year is irrelevant to now.

Source for this? Or are you guessing?

Yes, he is guessing or speculating, then converting it into fact, as usual.

It could be something as simple as a packaging issue as well as a planchet issue, just to name two possibilities.

Next it'll be a conspiracy theory or shady shafting if it doesn't fit the narrative, like the FHG.

The Mint is in full production mode lately - kudos to the Mint.

For what it is worth the Mint press release said this

“This product is the first American Eagle Silver Proof Coin minted using laser-engraved dies.”

I thought dies were made from hubs.

they appear to be moving to laser cutting now

& btw, the 5oz atb silver dies were cnc cut

No source. And not guessing. Observing. Laser privy went to Back Order today when they sold through what they initially made. Clearly short of the 100K maximum.

FH gold and silver did not. They sold less than the maximum mintage. In a few minutes for one, and in 24 hours plus a few minutes for the other.

They never went to Back Order. They went Unavailable, and then Sold Out. Even though they could have sold more.

Not a situation where they went Unavailable after weeks or months, and they had no time to make more. They went Unavailable almost immediately.

They didn't make the maximum mintage, and were never going to make the maximum mintage. They could have just disclosed that the true maximum mintage was a number lower than the published maximum mintage.

They chose not to. Because they can do whatever they want. Not because they are transparent.

Not a guess, and no source. Other than my own lyin' eyes.

PS: This is a Laser Privy thread fyi - stay on topic.

Apparently they just elected the 2nd Anerican Pope, nott the first.

Personally, I don't like this privy mark. Hard pass for me.

Can you share the steps to mine that info from the Mint's product page ? In 2024 I was able to do so with "View Page Source" and the "Find" function. Thank you.
