Bald Eagle Dilemma

mach19 · January 13, 2008 2:42AM

I have a limit of four hundred dollars,

1) purchase the three piece set

2) purchase Only Silver & Clad Proofs & unc coins (4) each

3) I'm not so Sure about gold @ this time

What would you do ?

Gonna keep them? Then the 3 coin set.

Try to flip them? 10 of the silver dollars.

The dollars will eventually sell out, keep them for a while and do not worry about milkspots.

Damn those milkspots.

I'd buy the $5 gold UNC and the UNC or Proof silver dollar. The gold UNC's are always the home runs since they usually have less than half the mintages.

To my knowledge silver commems haven't milk spotted. They are a different composition than silver eagles. If anyone has information on silver commems milk spotting I'd like to know. Thanks.

pitboss · January 14, 2008 5:23AM

The only ones I am buying are the proof silvers.

ricko · January 14, 2008 5:24AM

Just the proof silver for me... I have no milkspotting problems... and I have MANY ASE's..... Cheers, RickO

bigbadchad777 · January 14, 2008 5:25AM

The 3 coin set!!!!

Weather11am · January 14, 2008 5:32AM

I've only heard of milkspots on the SAEs.

claychaser · January 14, 2008 5:33AM

Did I figure this right? I get the 3 proof coin set is more expensive than buying the coins individually.

SMK · January 14, 2008 5:40AM

What's the price of the 3-coin set?

pitboss · January 14, 2008 5:44AM

You are paying $25 for the pretty packaging.

....there will be only 25k boxes made so you are buying some kinda thingy if there will be a special label made for a sealed boxed sent in for grading otherwise yeah you figured this right.

kinda dumb but only if you want the box i guess. i could be worng but i do NOT see this as a sleeper.

The Proof versions in a 70 grade will go for more than the Uncirculated 70's so I'm going with the Proof's. I also like the Chargers on Sunday

Rupert305 · January 14, 2008 6:18AM

I'm going with one of the uncirulated gold, and one each of the silver dollars.

i gotta hear this reasoning.....

FLBuffaloHunter · January 14, 2008 6:50AM

The 14 point spread is the biggest in a Conference championship in a long time. The -14 points is waaay too much to give the Charger defense which will keep it close, especially when you consider that the Pats have only been winning by a margin of 3 points in the last 4 out of 5 games.

Ditto

luckyman · January 14, 2008 6:54AM

I think I will get the two gold (one each of proof and unc) and two silver dollars (again one each proof and unc) I do not

like the half (screaming eagles) . That's why I won't buy the 3 piece set. Does anyone else think the eagle on the reverse

of the gold and the dollar looks like they're suffering from malnutrition? Also, it's been mentioned before about a

special designation label for the 3 piece set if unopened from the mint. I haven't heard any reaction to that here, but has

there ever been a commemorative set given a special designation in the past?

luckyman · January 14, 2008 6:54AM

I feel like I'm stuck in a xerox machine........pay no attention to this ..... NEXT!

luckyman · January 14, 2008 7:04AM

oops! I don't know how this happened or how to delete it.....continue your conversation without me while I figure this computer thing out...

Have you ever been to New England in January ?

No, but the Chargers played them last year in the playoffs and lost by 3 21-24

Current game forecast calls for 16 degrees and 10% chance of snow.

I don't think that Game played in New England ? How is L.T. & who is the quarterback?

morgansforever · January 14, 2008 8:26AM

The three coin proof set is limited to 25k. A low enough mintage to possibly be a signifigant gainer.

Who knows, more offerings, I so damn confused.

I just got into the spouses, now Eagle commem's then this then..................

The Chargers are one of the best road teams. Their straight up away record the last 4 years is 21-12. The Charger pass rush defense is more than capable of going into New England and keeping the game close. The line is way too high given the Pats unbeaten season. Defense will decide this one, take the points.

pitboss · January 14, 2008 11:35AM

Brady Brady BRADY The chargers don't have him.
That's the big difference!

Akbeez · January 14, 2008 12:51PM

Now, now, take your boring OT comments elsewhere --

OK - I vote the dollars -- unc will be the lower mintage, but proofs will take the popular vote and stay a premium. The halves are...UGLY - IMHO only...

keez · January 14, 2008 1:14PM

The reverse of the clad half looks good, but I don't care for the obverse with the egg right in the middle. I'll probably get a proof and uncirc of the silver dollar, and possibly a proof of the clad half.
