    Almost there
    Hi, my first entry. I am collecting MS70 2011 Eagles. I think I have a complete set as it stands now with what I can find out in the market. The hardest one was the Eagle BRN/Gold label, and the ALS non-early release. I will get them listed and pictures added as soon as I figure out how to do this stuff. I am a computer newbie also. As I figure there are 12 different MS70 Silver Eagle holders in NGC right now. I also have nearly all the PCGS 2011's. Someone help me out on the number of different MS70's available now. Thanks and hope to get all the pics in my manager soon.

    Just got called and 3 more are coming.
    I enjoyed the replies I got on my first journal. I collect or enjoyment of getting something different. I know silver eagles are only worth what the particular day brings, but getting a complete set of different labels is a challenge and, fun. Yep, it's expensive sometimes, but I am getting older and it helps me pass my days. I guess it is like some who collect comic books, certain issues are rare, but to have an entire volumn is great. I hope you can see the pics of my collection, cuz I am not sure how to do things yet. Someone let me know ok?

    Don't believe it
    I had been called to let me know that the 3 silver eagle holders I had been waiting for were on their way. I had even sent photos of the 3 I was in need of. Now this is a very reputable coin supplier, I guess you know the rest of the story. They came today and yep you are right, they all were WRONG!!!! What the H-E- double toothpicks does it take to get what you ordered, especially when you send them pics and they said they had them on hand? HELP!!!!!! I am bonkers over this

    Strung along

    By RMK-Collectibles,

    Taken advantage of.
    Well, I am still waiting for the 3 Silver Eagles I was promised over 3 weeks ago. Now I find out they never had them, even though the salesman said he "went in the back to physically check" that they were there. Well now they never had any. But they say they have 2 of the 3 coming, check back on Friday. This is what happens when you live in a rural ag state, small towns and no source for coins other than Ebay and the internet. You get strung along and along and along.
    I don't know where to look anymore, I don't know if it is proper to ask members if they or someone they know in their circles has knowledge of sources. Or that they themselves have extras for sale or not. Need your advise and help.

    Thanks

    By RMK-Collectibles,

    New HOPE HAS RISEN.
    Found a distributer today who said they would do everything possible to find my wanted coins, and with no money down. I see em before I buy em, can turn any or all down. No penalty, they said they would put them in their store and sell them anyway. Thanks for everybodies reply.
    And no it is not Ebay, been doing business there as a seller as well as a buyer for over a decade and no problem, except for two buyers who wouldn't pay and turned it over to Ebay. Needless to say I sold those items for 50% more afterwards.

    Love this label

    By RMK-Collectibles,

    God bless America
    Just added another Silver Eagle MS70 to my custom collection. I thinks it is the nicest label of all the holders. Ok Ok I give. It is a 2011 SAE MS70 Struck at San Francisco Mint with the Flag Label. Actually it is a label everyone is probably familiar with. I am still waiting to get the three I was supposed to get over a month ago. Fustrating as it is I am thrilled to add this one, till they come out with another before the end of the year. I also will not stop until I get my total and complete collection in hand.
    Oh by the way, there is a totally complete set I will enter this week. I have hopes to have the pics loaded by the weekend. Why? Because I am computer challenged.
    Thanks for reading and stay tuned

    Holder Labels

    By RMK-Collectibles,

    How many
    I collect holders that have different labels in them. This yr, 2011 Silver Eagles MS69 has 18 holders with different labels counting the Burnished that just shortly came out. Yes there are browns, flags, Early Releases, etc, but I consider each label as it pertains to a certain coin. So that is why I count the Burnished also, even tho it has the same five labels that were previously awarded, well almost. You see there are different mints that produced Eagles, different mint marks etc. So what do you think? With the 5 coin anniversary set due out soon, how many different labels will there be for it? 1, 3, or 5 like the Burnished and for each different coin in the set? Let me know what you think. Also I will be loading my MS69s to my custom collections as a new collection hopefully this week, save for one burnished I had to return. Also if anyone knows of more label for the silver eagle let me know. I am still missing 3 MS70s.
    Thanks for your ear

    By RMK-Collectibles,

    Complete 2011 MS69 Silver Eagles label set?
    I have 13 different holder labels for th ms69 2011 silver eagle now collected. Will the burnished be allowed in this category? I hope so, cuz I am ready to upload them. Also if I have omitted a ms69 for the 2011 silver eagle let me know and I will definetly seek it out. Also check out the Struck at West Point Mint with the brown label. I cannot find a MS70 like it. Was told this is a "unique" label. What are your thoughts? Also cannot find the final three MS70s that I need. Anyone out there with ideas on where I can find them, let me know. Thanks everyone and have a great weekend.

    Overwhelmed

    By RMK-Collectibles,

    Confused to say the least
    Just when I thought I was within sight of accomplishing my goal of collecting a complete set of 2011 Silver Eagle holders with different labels and different eagles in ms70, I find out that the Mint is issuing 3 labels for coins from the 5 coins anniversary set.
    This means if I understand it right and the kind lady at NGC explains it there are three coins, the "W" "S" and "bullion" coin to get the pedigreed label. Thats fine, except they can also come with the early release label. This now makes six to collect.
    But wait there is more. If some are sent in with the mint box not sealed only the "S" coin can be graded in MS. It will get a brown label from the set and this also can get early release. So, that makes 8 labels available for the 25th anniversary set.
    But wait, I understand that some of the big wholesalers can get their own label, which means if this is true, an unknown number of labeled Eagles to be obtained.
    The mint also only produced 100,000, so how many will be sent in for grading? How high will the prices be? Could there be a certain coin that has less than 100 or even 20 with a label for it.
    Your thoughs folks. Also correct me on my errors as I am going on gut feeling and some minor info from NGC.
    Thanks

    Oh well

    By RMK-Collectibles,

    Appreciator of coins
    No I am not offended. When I can buy a NGC ms69 2011 silver eagle on a Monday and sell it for 2 1/2 times what I paid for it the next week to help fund my goal, that is not true collecting I guess. I look at my endeavor like when I was small and had all the blue trifold books to collect pennies nickels dimes etc, when you found one you were excited, no different here. Actually when I do finally accomplish my task and I have maybe 8 to 12 labels that are rare or hard to get I guess I did make it then, because The coin is then also rare, and like they say, buy the coin. I suppose it's like going after that elusive Morgan CC or Lincoln penny, Numismatics is what you make it. OCD probably not, ain't got enough money for that to occure. But the same could be said about someone who has been collecting and accumulating a certain collection for years, I call that determined and passionate, but also OCD. Just jawing with you all, loosen up and ENJOY your particular endeavor. I am, and I will be the only one in the US maybe to say "I have every 25th anniversary silver eagle holder with the different labels and mint marks in ms70."
    Thank you, you have been a great audiance.

    Additions

    By RMK-Collectibles,

    last ones?
    Well I have added five holders to my ms69 and ms70 collection. And yes for my beloved critic, whom I am sure will make a remark, I stated which one is my favorite label.
    Being a disabled veteran, I sincerely love my flag and everything about it, so comment away my good and spirited one. I also think that this is probably that last aditions I have, unless I am lucky enough to get a 25th anniversary holder from the 5 coin set. It looks like the scalpers have the market, but maybe 6 mo. to a yr from now some will turn up reasonably priced.
    I am not going to comment on the Mint and its handling of the 5 coin set, it is over and water under the bridge. Of course I am disapointed, but what the hey huh?
    Friday is an important day for me and many others, so if you can, take a minute of your time at work, home or play on Friday at 11:11 and just think of someone who you know past or present in the service. And if you can I among millions of others would appreciate it.
    Ok, I hear you, enough already stop carrying on. So I will, but first, I want to wish my oldest brother happy birthday, who by the way was shot up to hell in Viet Nam. So here is to you big bro, HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

    Ebay

    By RMK-Collectibles,

    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

    Lucky

    By RMK-Collectibles,

    key aquirement
    Hello fellow NGCer's. Call me lucky or maybe I was due for something good to happen. I got confirmation on a ms69/pf69 25th anniv. ngc certified set, and at a shockingly good price. But that's not all, they through in a ms70/pf70 set as well but at regular price. This will help tremendously toward my goal of achieving a complete set of ms69 and ms70 holders with the different labels. I know many of you scoff at me for this, but 10 or 15 yrs from now maybe my handing this down to a family member of this effort will pay off for someone special. PS they are from a well known reputable dealer. Thanks for following. I appreciate it.
