  1. As the above folks have mentioned, a picture would help immeasurably. Short of that, if you truly believe it is a 7 figure coin, and wish to have it graded/verified as genuine, I suggest getting on a plane with it and flying to Florida to hand deliver it to NGC for grading. However, as @Coinbuf said, we have seen numerous "life altering" coins on this board and others, and only once have I seen one actually be the real deal. And that was "only" a $20k coin. But of course, in that instance, many members of those boards agreed that the coin looked genuine and was worth the expense of having it graded/verified.
  2. How in the world do you know that's what they were doing? Did they tell you that? And with the coin shortage going on, I am surprised you were given even 2 rolls of quarters.
  3. The first year for the Washington quarter was 1932. Post a photo of the PCGS labels you have, or whatever the numbers are on that you tried to enter.
  4. There is also a huge difference because if you crack the 1893S out of the slab, that's what you still have. A 1893S morgan. However, if you crack the 2012w eagle form the LE set out of the slab, it is literally no different than any of the other 2012 proofs. Also, the 50,129 is not the mintage for the 2012W proof.. It is the number of limited edition sets they sold. The actual total mintage for the 2012w proof is 877,731.
  5. Because Early Releases and First Releases just aren't enough: NGC "Early Production" Label
  6. These are not supplemental coins. At least not the way you are thinking. As to your question as to why they are in the census it's because it gets people to buy the same coin mutiple times. But as @VKurtB, don't get hung up on the labels. If you can't take it out of the slab and tell me where it was minted, in my opinion it shouldn't be on the label. It's why I gave up on my registry set for silver eagles. Between collecting all the labels, in all the different strikes, I had over 200 graded eagles. In reality, there were maybe 80 different eagles.
  7. Ratzie33 has inspired me to take a look through my change drawer here at work, and I think I may have stumbled upon something rare. I have only seen one of these before, on a youtube video I believe. Just wondering what you guys think this will grade at? It's a rare 1970 overdate on a 1983 overdate on a 1974. Thanks!
  8. They are all the same coin. Take them out of the slab, and you can't tell where it was minted. Bullion eagles have no mint mark. But supposedly the third party graders (such as our hosts here) can supposedly tell which mint they came from based on the serial number on the band that encloses monster boxes. This started around 2011 I believe. But this way they can sell you different labels/slabs for the same coin. No mint designated, struck at West Point and struck at San Francisco. And in the case of 2015, struck at Philadelphia. In most years, save for "special editions" or anniversary editions, there are 3 different eagles minted. Business strike, burnished and proof.
  9. You would be better served to purchase one already graded if a 70 is what you are after. When you figure in grading fees, and shipping and handling, sending in a single coin, particularly a modern one, is usually not cost efficient. As for your question, no. You should not have to designate burnished. The graders can tell by the finish on the coin, not to mention it is the only non-proof eagle that has a mint mark.
  10. I never realized someone could actually be "bad" at coin collecting. You have proven me wrong.
  11. You need to add NGC cert numbers so they can make sure it belongs.
  12. I am fully aware they need to make money. But I would bet the majority of the folks who buy this will be doing so to complete their registry set, not because they want it. Take it out of the slab and tell me the difference between a 2017 eagle proof and one from the 2020 "West Point Hoard".
  13. Ali or Maribeth, In conjunction with this, we also need a set for Australia, Commemorative, Silver, $1, 2020, Proof. 6018607-021 Thanks and have a safe weekend.
  14. Let's see how long it takes for this to show up in the registry for silver eagles. If (when) it does, it's nothing but a money grab.
  15. I'm in Northeast Ohio, and both Meijer's and Lowes had the coin shortage signs up.
  16. The "W" you are seeing is actually an A and a W, which are the initials of the designer, Adolf Weinman.
  17. Emailed the registry email address, and was told to post here. Can we now please get a separate registry set for the Australian Swans. There are now four different, yearly mint strike coins, and 4 different yearly proof coins, for a toal of 8 coins in this series. Ideally, we could have a mint strike set, a proof set, and an overall set. I think there are enough coins in this series to justify their own sets now, especially the proofs, which are basically lumped in with "Year of the..." proof coins right now. Thanks all. A sample number of each coin: Mint strike: 2813868-012 Proof: 4602688-131 Thanks Ali and team.
