For 1 mill. I'd expect a little more than this 1993 Bullion round which looks to be full of milk spots.....but if he gets it.....more power to him NGCMS70Eagle

    he must be high on something.........

    Seller states that they are consigning this for

    Despite our best efforts, he has been unable to complete a NGC Finest Known First Strike Silver Eagle Set, as we cannot purchase the other unique NGC MS 70 First Strikes from 1995 and 2000. If you have either coin, contact us as we are a motivated buyer. "

    MS69 First Strike™ SAE's routinely sell for between $900 and $1400 on Teletrade. Primarily because only 19 have been certified at that level while at least 480 did not make that grade.

    NGC coins run from $110 to $280 as First Strike coins. (Note that these were graded prior to the First Strike legal action)

    NGC currently has 75,922 MS69 First Strike SAE's and 110 MS70 First Strike SAE's compared to only the 19 MS69's and 1 MS66 First Strike™ SAE at PCGS.

    $1,000,000 seems a bit out of line and since I've dealt with jdanielrarecoins in the past, I expect he's just on a fishing trip for offers which may run dry.

    PCGS does not cross 1993 NGC First Strike coins due to conflicts in cut off dates.

    Very little value with those milk spots. I agree the seller has to be familiar with the spots and not saying anything about them is less than full disclosure.

    1) They do not really look like milk spots to me. They look like whitish spots. There is a difference.

    2) As far as price goes, same difference in my opinion. You either have a spotted coin or a dipped coin. But you don't have an original coin.

    so make that 3 coins... but if that current coin on ebay is 1/1...

    well heh. tough luck.

    This is just plain wrong:

    "Classic or Modern, Rare is Rare
    The 1884 S and the 1993 First Strike share many similarities:

    Both were ‘business strikes’, not proofs
    Both dates share an extremely low survival rate for high-grade coins versus the overall mintage. CoinFacts says: “The 1884-S Morgan Silver Dollar is one of the great rarities in the series in Uncirculated condition.”
    The 1993 First Strike has a Relative Rarity Index nearly three times higher than the 1884 S: 1/14,800 for the 1993, 1/5,298 for the 1884 S.
    "

    And this:

    "NGC First Strikes are very popular among savvy collectors. They have weathered the contoversy generated by overzealous marketers and lawyers. The NGC First Strike Red Label is an exciting differentiation for Silver Eagle series enthisiasts. First Strikes are comparable to First Day Covers in philately: the release date creates greater relative rarity and higher prices."

    is HYPE based upon inaccuracies as the the release Date for First Day Covers are 1 single date whereas First Strike SAE's cover a 30 day period.

    The Milk Spots ( and yes AdamLaneus, those ARE Milk Spots) literally kill any value that coin may have had. If the holder gets damaged, it'll get downgraded on a reholder.
