new ASE anniv. sets: will you slab them?

Doogy · August 30, 2006 3:10AM

I'm wondering how many of you out there will slab these coins, or leave them in their plastic holders inside the Mint box. You gotta' think PCGS and NGC are licking their chops at 250,000 of these rolling out, at 3 coins each. IMHO, i'm gonna' have my set slabbed in an NGC multi-coin holder. you?

Nope.

If I bought two sets, I might consider slabbing one of them in a multi-coin holder (probably the one with the better coins overall). But since I'm only buying one, I'm keeping it in its Mint packaging.

Send them for slabbing (to PCGS of course) but keep the mint packaging. If you get 70's, you win the lottery. If not you can crack'em and resubmit or put them back in the mint packaging. If it ain't 70 you will probably be able to resell them higher in the mint packaging than trying to sell a common as dirt 69.

after the first strike BS I wouldnt waste a penny on it.

How exactly was First Strike the Mint's fault? They never designated early release coins as "First Strike."

Or are you referring to PCGS?

I bought 3 sets, I might consider a multiholder set for a set, but I want to keep a couple of them pristine.

The world is full of problems, and you guys worry about multi-coin holder?

BECOKA · August 30, 2006 3:23AM

I am also thinking about the multi holder. I bought a couple of extras. Although I would think that slabbing seperately might be desirable as many people might pay extra for the reverse proofs. Its a tough call.

Do NGC Multiholders have milkspot problems?

Mine are staying in Mint capsules until that problem has been tackled.

Am I right that they do not develop milk spots if left in the capsule?

I remember reading about some 1995W Proof owners that were very upset with now spotted coins in PCGS plastic.

seateddime · August 30, 2006 3:28AM

backordered.

The spotting occurs due to the rinse used at the mint. The problem is with both the capsules and the holders and occurs when the capsule or slab are exposed to the right conditions.

I beleive PCGS also has a multi holder.

CoinHusker · August 30, 2006 3:29AM

Never! I've been through the disappointment of finding 40% of my slabbed SAE set ruined with milk spots. I wouldn't want to go through that again.

frankieboywonder · August 30, 2006 3:33AM

Not on your life! They will stay safely enclosed within the origional mint packaging untill the end of time!!

Weather11am · August 30, 2006 3:36AM

I hate milk spots!!!

Coinhog · August 30, 2006 3:43AM

Especially on your shirt.

kwmorgan · August 30, 2006 3:54AM

I ordered one set so I'll leave it in the original Mint packaging. I had ASE proofs in the past without milkspotting. I would bet these proofs will be ok. The unc in the pack, only time will tell. The reverse proof will be the desired coin outta these sets. I hope I get a nice one.

I wouldnt waste a penny to have them slabbed. No fault of the US Mint since I just ordered a set.

Rarity · August 30, 2006 4:14AM

I will keep them in the Mint packaging.
PCGS assigned grade of a PR69 or PR70 today afterall is still an opinion.

Bochiman · August 30, 2006 4:21AM

Anyone saying "NO" or "NEVER" must not have a registry set.

All NGC/PCGS has to do to get these slabbed is to put these as required in the registries.
(on that note, I am not sure if I will buy already slabbed or leave the hole.....I am already thinking of selling off our SAE set because of the 1st Strike BS)

fishcooker · August 30, 2006 5:04AM

I'll slab the unique ones.
