Advice to the bearer of the coin: Flip it on eBay in a one-day auction and you may well receive five figures.

<<< "The TriVue"TM holder not only provides long-term storage protection, it allows the coin's obverse, reverse and edges to be easily seen. With the PCGS certification of authenticity and grade, the value could dramatically increase over an ungraded, ‘raw' coin," said Willis. >>>

rgCoinGuy · February 16, 2009 8:36AM

Very nice slab, their tri-view fits this coin nicely from those pictures. Congrats CC!

adamlaneus · February 16, 2009 8:37AM

You laugh. I laugh. But there will be some fool^h^h^h^hindividual paying up for this extremely early availability slabbed item.

Is there any separate announcement of the "tri-vue" slab available for other non-UHR submissions?

You win the jackpot!

Goldbully · February 16, 2009 8:38AM

Congrats Charlie!!!

agentjim007 · February 16, 2009 8:38AM

If you put it on ebay put in a link to that article.

silvergoldnut · February 16, 2009 8:43AM

<< If you put it on ebay put in a link to that article. >>

i wasn't kidding i would put it up for 7500 and link it ...

i bet you would get it !!!

CharlieC · February 16, 2009 8:44AM

You are right.
It will take a few days to get back to me.

Thank you.
Charlie.

Placid · February 16, 2009 8:45AM

I dont know if I would want pcgs to give out my name and where I lived.

Charlie, see if PCGS will designate your UHR as First First Strike™

list it anyway.......... if i knew about the 08 w buffalo before they were gone , i would of bought 10 to sell, i only got 2

RWB · February 16, 2009 8:48AM

Too bad they didn't think to add to the label that this was the first piece they had certified and graded. That might have meant something meaningful.

Coinlearner · February 16, 2009 8:53AM

Pictures are a lot nicer than you posted,Charlie.

.....$10,000 Buy it Now. It is now a famous coin. Buyer should have no problem identifying what/where this coin came from.......

Charlie. >>

Congratulations ... be sure you cut out the PCGS Article or have PCGS mail you a copy. That alone, if you ever decide to sell the coin, is worth a ton.

Way to go!

COINB0Y · February 16, 2009 8:57AM

So when did the 30 Day FS Time Clock start?

lcoopie · February 16, 2009 8:58AM

maybe they are all ms70?

charlie take that trip you always wanted to...

illini420 · February 16, 2009 9:03AM

I agree that this is cool... but to those of you quote prices of $7500-$10000, are you willing to pay this?? not sure who would be... seems crazy... not trying to spoil the party, but let's get real.

Also, out of curiousity, how does PCGS give it a 70 if it's the only one they've seen??? What are they comparing to?

MajorDuty · February 16, 2009 9:04AM

Does anyone think it is just a coincidence that the first graded example just happened to turn out to be 70? I mean, it's not like they are going to run an article touting the first ever graded UHR as an MS69.

Regardless, it is a beautiful piece and congratulations to you, Charlie.

adamlaneus · February 16, 2009 9:04AM

Offer it to SaintG for $180k.

When he balks and counter offers with $120k, you are in Fat City!!!

are you kidding.... i had a guy pay me 92.00 for a 2008 silver proof set , uh hey buddy there still on the mint web site

zeebob · February 16, 2009 9:07AM

That coin would sure look nice in a local library's display case.

57loaded · February 16, 2009 9:09AM

<< Too bad they didn't think to add to the label that this was the first piece they had certified and graded. That might have meant something meaningful. >>

they would never cross that bridge, yet the owner does have the link and the grade with the certification number.

congrats!

SilverEagles92 · February 16, 2009 9:17AM

So Charlie, are you planning on throwing it on eBay?

ScarsdaleCoin · February 16, 2009 9:18AM

I agree.... dont even wait to get it back... put it up on ebay..... I am sure it would hit at least $5,000 being that it is the 1st one certified, and a 70!

congrats

itsnotjustme · February 16, 2009 9:27AM

Charlie,
My unsolicited and un-professional advice is, unless you are emotionally tied to it, sell fast. Once the masses start shipping first strike and MS70 will not be rare. I made a score grade wise on a coin once... paid $1.80 for it, plus modern grading fee, and sold it for $4,000. It was not worth that to me. I would rather have a nice worn flowing hair buck than a modern one.

jsf · February 16, 2009 9:31AM

is the color like that of the gold buffalo?

if so, I may sell.

CB2597 · February 16, 2009 9:33AM

Charlie!

jsf · February 16, 2009 9:42AM

"I am sure it would hit at least $5,000 "

that's not even enough for a good kitchen remodel, is it?

mackdriver · February 16, 2009 9:57AM

If i would have only knew that the stupid book was holding back my coin being delivered,i would have cancelled the book.WAY TO GO CHARLIE.

7over8 · February 16, 2009 10:31AM

Ship date for the one coin known was the 6th, so does the 30 day clock start then.....

or does PCGS acknowledge the USM issue with shipping and delay the start of the 30 day window for FS?

as we can see, obviously the one coin certified had an order number later than most and in the 12:45-1pm timeframe (based on whats been posted on the forum by it's owner) there are probably several thousand coins that would have been shipped prior to this piece if the USM conformed to it's FIFO method.....

so how does PCGS handle this one?

But Charlie - obviously this was a major score for you......take your profits.....

partagas · February 16, 2009 10:31AM

I agree with the others, you suck! Flip this now and fast and buy a few more with the profits.

Manorcourtman · February 16, 2009 10:45AM

Congrats!!!

Delorean · February 16, 2009 10:46AM

Looks small..Is that the size of a Quarter???

richardshipp · February 16, 2009 10:49AM

Congrats!

lkeigwin · February 16, 2009 10:54AM

Way to go, Charlie! That is very cool.

I hear what everyone is telling you about flipping it. If it's all about money then do it! I don't know what it would go for...probably less than 5 digits. Whatever, it would be a handsome profit. If it were mine I'd probably hang onto it. I agree it isn't the smartest move financially but that is one special coin!

It's too bad there can't be a better way to authenticate its special nature. "First of first", some certificate from PCGS, etc. Definitely get that web page printed in high quality fashion and have it mounted and lacquered or framed.

Congrats. I'm very jealous.

Lance.

P. S. Did you tell us how you managed to be so far ahead of everyone else? I must have missed the thread.

Obviously the Mint did not adhere to their FIFO. How many others here do you see who have received their coins? (Most with earlier order times). The FS clock has been running since the 6th. Shipping delays do not enter into the formula.

This will hurt the PCGS bottom line. Less fees for "First Strikes"due fewer UHR's meeting the PCGS stated deadline due to Mint stupidity. But I admire PCGS for sticking to there guns.

smokincoin · February 16, 2009 11:08AM

<< "I am sure it would hit at least $5,000 " >>

The very first couple of "First Strike" Reverse Proof Silver Eagle MS70s went for that! This is an ounce of .9999 AU!

ClosedLoop · February 16, 2009 11:28AM

some people wait their whole posting lives to get a "you suck" award and you did

it in 37 posts, anyway congrats.

YaHa · February 16, 2009 12:08PM

Hell, Charly put it on Teletrade or ebay now... There won't be many F.S. coins but who give a $hit. F.S. is for First Sucker..

Hey Charlie.. You suck..

Had to edit my last comment. Sorry Charlie.

08HALA20 · February 16, 2009 12:27PM

Congrats Charlie, I agree that it may be best to flip this coin for the profit. But if the money is not a need for you then I might hold onto it.

It will always be the documented "FIRST" "First Strike" MS70 UHR and that is pretty special in itself.

Joe
