Yes but is it a coin? Actually the silver melt plus some premium for scarcity makes it a "collectable", but the price is always a function of demand. Silver went up over $50 spot today.

I don't mind buying modern bullion and paying a premium -- if the design moves me. This one doesn't but if you like it, go for it. Everyone has different likes.
For me, if I was going to buy modern, it would be (another) 2009 MMIX UHR Saint maybe in PF70 PL or something like that.....or even one of the pattern recreations from the Saint-Gaudens National Historical Society commemoratives. Premiums there have collapsed as gold has risen.
Finally, for about $4,500 - $5,000 you can get a really nice MS-66 Saint for certain years, with CAC. They were only about $500-$750 cheaper when gold was $2,000 less; the premium erosion helps a new buyer.

The Mint received my two flawed Liberty coins today at the return center in Texas. They will debut for the now higher price after a few days. haha
They could be cheaper next week
Yeah but if ya get duds, also it might cost ya $60 to $100 plus for return shipping, registered, insured and signature confirmation plus the time to assemble the shipment and take pictures etc...

Well I'm not sure where this designation is coming from. A 69 is certainly fine visually in most cases, but the reality of the market is a significant premium for perfection. So I'm not sure anyone here thinks that the 69s are duds, but they certainly sell for a discount to a 70. If that makes it a dud, I guess that makes sense.

Does anyone know what is the status of the American Liberty 2025 Silver Medal? I've been trying to order some since 3 months back but it's always on "remind me"!!!

Nope. I referred to flawed Sunflower Libs that I returned as " duds". Flaws visible to naked eye. I didn't qualify them as any particular grade. But implied earlier that they were definitely not 70 material. Thanks!

Yes. They were 69s. If you read the person I responded to, he said he can't imagine anyone referring to 69s as "duds". You did.
You're welcome.

Close to $1,000 premium, too much for me, even though I like the design very much.

I have the 2017 UHR ... really tempted to sell it since it is "just bullion," but I do like the design; just can't bring myself to do it.

Be happy if you get pf70 material !

It's ridiculous. The standard should be 69. If they have to ship icky 70s, the price is going to go even higher
