This company payed $60.00, over the $300.00 dollars the cost of the set, this company is making $590.00, porfit on these set's.

Latest Update - Langbord Hoard of St. Gaudens Double Eagles

Are we closer to some kind of resolution and final disposition? I read an article from Coin World today concerning the latest (and final?) judicial proceeding concerning the Langbord Hoard. Decision was made on 10 November that basically affirms the jury decision from 20 July after considering additional information from both the government and the Langbords. Here's hoping the coins are preserved and the public is able to see them together at some point. Article can be found here: http:/

Great News Today From the Mint For Me

to be shipped on 11/28/11 I got my third email from the US Mint since that strange day that the ASE 25th Anniversary sets went on sale. The first email was the same day and simply stated that my order had been placed and I was on a waiting list/ backordered. Several days ago I got a second email from the mint which sent my hopes tumbling. In a nutshell the notice simply said that I had not been dropped from the list and would receive my 2 sets if there were any cancellations. Although others

10th Anniversary Platinum sets

Anyone who is in the 10th Anniversary Registry (CHECK YOUR SET ASAP) Rev proof is missing from set! Today I notice I wasn't first ranked in 10th anniversary platinum set. So looked in to it and I noticed that the Rev proof was missing. Don't worry everyone, all you have to do is click on "EDIT SET" then on the right hand side of the Rev proof slot you will see a blue box saying "1 avail.coin" click on it then click on "cert#" you will see the coin added to slot, then click on "save" at the

Which coin will become the most sought after in the 2011 25th Anniversary set? S or Plain?

The SAE S mint mark Silver American Eagle will have a total mintage of roughly 100,000 coins, But one of the coins in the set has a population of only 8% with a grade of 70. It's mot the W mint mark. Ok so we know that two of the coins are very special in the 25th anniversary eagle set. THe Reverse proof and the Mint State with the S mint mark. Has anyone realized that the regular silver eagle (bullion version) has a population of only 7% to 9%? Well lets also consider the fact that with eve

Ebay

25th Anniversary sets Has anyone been following the turmoil on Ebay with the 25th sets? It's remarkable. How about one company who put up a full ms69 and ms70 set, when lots of people signed up to be notified when they were going on sale. This is what I have heard anyway. What do you all think? I suppose most don't give a rats a__ about it. Thanks for listening To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

Temporarily Number 1!

Today's tale of the 2009 UHR Some of you may have noticed that the 2009 Gold $20 Ultra High Relief coin has been removed from the American Eagle set(s). I contacted NGC to ask why. (It's because the coin is not an American Eagle.) Anyway, a new gold bullion set has been created, thanks to quick action by NGC's Jerica Garcia. I created my set, added the handful of coins I have, and am currently #1. Of course, when there's only one set, it's hard not to be #1... To see old comments for this J

Why Don't/Can't/Won't Listen to Instructions?!

I got THE PHONE CALL, with information I did not want to hear about the 25th Anniversary Sets. With heightened anticipation of the 25th anniversary coins from the Mint to be delivered this week, I researched the instructions for submitting the coins to NGC. I printed out the instructions for Submitting the sets to NGC. I verbaly told him "DO NOT OPEN THE BOX FROM THE US MINT, BECAUE WE HAVE TO END IT SEALED LIKE THE 2006 SETS."

Just wondering!!!

What's wrong with the 2011(w) silver eagle?? Just wondering....Does anybody knows why is NGC not adding the 2011(W)struck at the West Point Mint silver eagle, since they have the 2011(s)struck at the San Fransico mint added on that set!

The "Silver Anniversary" Set as an Investment instrument.

A "Holy Grail" for the American Silver Eagle enthusiast. The 2011 is the "Silver Anniversary", the 2011 5-pc 25th Anniversary Set of Silver Eagles were issued to commemorate this. The 20th Anniversary set was notable, and now with the addition of the "Silver" Anniversary set, along with the shrinking number of available Complete Sets, circumstances are quickly making this set a "Holy Grail" to ASE collectors and Investors. Though some are predicting so, I doubt that a 30th Anniversary commemo

Starting My ASE Set

Imagine My Excitement A few months ago I decided to invest a small amount of my income in precious metals. As my research unfolded I re-discovered coin collecting and immediately fell in love with the Silver American Eagles, especially the proofs. Wow, it is really a fantastic looking coin. Imagine my excitement when I learned about the 25th Anniversary Set! I knew immediately I just had to have one. As fate would have it, I was home on the release date recovering from surgery and got up early

I CHOSE TO REVEAL

My Fears Were Unfounded! On June 17, 2011, I wrote a journal entry entitled,"TO REVEAL OR NOT TO REVEAL", in which I expressed my concern about revealing my coin hobby to my bridge club friends. Well, today, I revealed. I read to them another journal entry, "OUT OF THE ATTIC", (2-5-09) which is a story about my family history. In addition to reading the story, I shared with them pictures of my grandpa, working as a butler; my grandmother on her college campus in the early 1900"s; my great

A Challenging collecting area. A representative from the Naval surface Warfare Center recently visited my Command to attend a conference. During a break, he stopped by my office to say Hi because we had spoken on the phone many times but had never actually met. At the end of our very nice face-to-face, he shook my hand while passing me the very attractive challenge coin pictured below. For those of you who do not know, A Challenge Coin is a small coin or medallion, bearing a military Unit'

25th Anniversary Silver Eagles

I am a SAE collector, I knew about the SAE release and I was very patient and got my order in at 12:22. The best news is my order shipped TODAY 11-9-11. If you were lucky enough to get a set remember don't open the "cardboard box", or you wont be able to get them graded with the special 25th anniversary label. I hope all these people ordering sets on Ebay realize that an opened set of 5 coins kills off 3 coins of the 5 pc set. WHy buy an opened set on Ebay when NGC or PCGS will not grade th

2 New Coins for my Collection!

I love the Military themed coins! Hello everybody, I was able to add a couple very nice coins to my modern commemorative collection the last few days...the 2011 Medal of Honor in the proof and MS versions. Both are graded 70 and look awesome. I have to say the U.S. Mint does a fine job with the military themed coins. The MoH has become one of my favorites! The MoH represents not only the individual's great service to our country but the greater service they do to and for each other in t
