Poll: Does it make sense having your collector Mint 5 oz. ATB's graded by a major TPG?

Goldbully · August 7, 2011 8:22AM

I've now got 5 of these coins and really think the Mint packaging is just fine.

khayse · August 7, 2011 8:35AM

Same as any other bullion...

I only have three but otherwise agree!

It only makes "cents" if you are "lucky" enough to get a 70.

Type2 · August 7, 2011 9:35AM

Well some collectors said the same thing! That it is just Bullion back when you could buy the 1/10oz. Golld Buffalo for $90.00 and a set for $1200 Now look at what they go for. I have both the collector one's and the Bullion one's I'll keep the colletor one in the mint box for now and the Bullion ones I'll keep raw so I can hold them and see them in hand to get my fix... But that is just me..

Grading any Bullion coins is nonsense

I now have all 5 numismatic issues.
The Mint packaging is just fine.
The coins themselves grade at least MS69 IMO and I'm a tough grader.
A less picky grader wouldn't bat any eye at grading these MS70.

My opinion may be a bit strong, so I'll reserve it and just take up some space here.

Yes, and the money made on graded bullion is nonsense too. Guess what I do with those nonsensical profits?

ricko · August 8, 2011 12:19AM

I would not have them graded, nor do I think I will ever own one. Might, if one really caught my eye at a show, just as a piece of exonumia - they are not really coins, but many people collect them. Cheers, RickO

As I am away on a family vacation prior to the ANA,
I was informed that UPS had made an attempted
delivery of the last ATB "P" mint Mount Hood 5 oz.

I called them yesterday to hold up the delivery until
I return from the ANA - which wasn't a problem... for
an additional $6.00 they'll hold up the delivery. LOL

It'd be $2.00 cheaper if I did it on line - but - I needed
the info on the slip attached to my door. Now, there was
no one I could call... everyone on my street are Winter
Residents.

I know this was off track ... just had to vent.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, I am going to submit the five "P" ATB's issued this year
as PCGS has a Collectors Club Special... submit 5 pay for 4.

crypto79 · August 8, 2011 12:21AM

I will say I paid melt and got a graded DMPL and now the puck is protected and in a cool holder. Nothing wrong with that

Isn't it sort of early in the game to be a "collector" of these? IMO we are mostly in the accumulation stage.

BAJJERFAN · August 8, 2011 12:27AM

The only valid reason to have them graded IMO is if they ever significantly appreciate in value and the things milk spot. You'd at least be covered by a guarantee.

pf70collector · August 8, 2011 2:34AM

Having all 5 of the 2010s graded. Only because I like to play the 70 lottery. So far the results are dismal. 68,68,69.....Lost big time on the grading fees. These were all mark free coins but maybe the striking did them in.

PinkFloyd · August 8, 2011 2:43AM

It makes sense having them graded depending on their quality, just like every other US Mint collectable. However, if you're looking to collect and not too worried about resale, OGP is just fine.

For the "Ps"--worth it if you have a likely SP70 or a Grand Canyon in a high grade light finish.

For the bullion (even though this thread is about the "P" versions)--depends on the date and issue. Some of the 2010 bullion (like Grand Canyon) are worth grading even if it is a 68DMPL.

Goldbully · September 10, 2011 12:19PM

OK, it's been a month.....who else thinks it's a good thing to grade an ATB!!!

renman95 · September 10, 2011 12:24PM

You can make some serious Elmo on 70's if there were any.

ricko · September 11, 2011 12:50AM

I still would not buy one.... IMO they will not be valued by the collector community for at least a hundred years... and then, maybe. One way to stack bullion though. Cheers, RickO

A 100, I had planned on 10 years, but a 100, say it ain't so.

I am not really pressed, it will be stacked in it's mint packaging and left for dead until I decide to sell in 10 years. BTW I have 7 coins.

pitboss · September 12, 2011 12:06AM

I now have a full set of 10 graded MS69 DMPL and love them as they are really beautiful and plan to keep getting them as they become

available. I will mot buy and have graded though as your chances of getting a 69 DMPL are slim. I will buy on the secondary market.

pf70collector · September 12, 2011 3:29AM

I am not purchasing the Ps anymore. I will buy the DMPLs if they are reasonable at price. It seems the ASEs are still blowing these out of the water as far as popularity.

That's ANOTHER reason I prefer receiving coins via USPS.......I find the policies of UPS and FEDEX to not being recipient-oriented.

For the original question: It's the same as any other bullion.....if it makes a 70, it makes sense. If you like to have a collection and don't want to risk any damage, it makes sense.
If you want it for bullion or just for fun, then it doesn't...and it is not a trivial expense...imho.

<< Grading any Bullion coins is nonsense >>

I'd like to understand why you say that, particularly if there is very high demand for 70s?

pmac · September 12, 2011 4:37AM

The lemmings are not using this Quarter's CC Special (or maybe they are). What say Don?
