    This is a lightly struck coin & the date & mint mark are visible, but looks like a mint error. Any info? Unique to me. Appreciate any help. Thank you guys.

     

     

    For maximum coverage you'll need to post this question in the newbie coin collecting questions section of this site. You will also need to post clear, cropped photos of the obverse and reverse of the coin in question.

    Yeah I just thought it was interesting to see. Is it okay to share images and findings as such? Or should posts only be for questions? 20230809_001653.thumb.jpg.395ad65717d89af0028c5b2719e4eb6d.jpg

    Preferably questions about legitimate coins in terms of if it's worth the grading fees and or coins that you're not certain are genuine.

    Don't be surprised if you see him come back and post under a different name. I don't think this was the first time he has been kicked off this forum. 

    Oh really? Maybe the moderators need to block his IP address from even accessing this site. My biggest concern through is he knew my middle name and the name of my deceased younger brother without me ever posting that information.

    Why would you sell to a dealer? That’s like going to a Pawn Broker.

    Why some people do things they do I'll never understand. For example, there were people buying stock in Ford Motor Company (NYSE ticker: F) at nearly $15.00 a share about a month ago. Since that time the stock price has declined to a little over $12.00 a share. 

     

    FULL DISCLOSURE: I own stock in F and my P/S is $9.00. I only bought that stock for the dividend not as a long term investment. My quarterly dividend payments are $30,000.00. My next quarterly dividend payment is due on 9 / 1 / 2023.

    But clowns like that come on net to play earthly tough guy. Nothing but warped decrepit clowns. 
    NGC should ban them for continually attempting to lure people to not get coins graded or insinuating their price approximation is bogus. 
    No money in COINS?  Lmfao.  They're amateurs, plenty of $$. 

    If you're comparing the liquidity of the coin market to the liquidity of the real estate, stock and bond markets you'll see that there's every little liquidity in the coin market. Thus your theory of "There's plenty of money to be made in the coin market" is clearly a boldface lie as the coin market is unregulated and can and will dry up without any kind of warning sign. Always remember when it comes to gold and silver coins their value is somewhat tied to the price of spot so you'd be lucky to get maybe 3 - 5 percent of spot for your coins from a dealer.

    Tony, 

    I was born at night, but not last night.  I don’t come on the Chatboard to pick fights and attack people.  I have spent too many years in the courtrooms of one particular State, and yes it is a “Republic,” but not Texas, to learn how to “Stand my Ground.”  So, I am not intimidated by anyone especially two former State Attorney Generals who both ran from my legal challenges years ago.
     

    I only sought an answer to a question. That is all.  
     

    Peace & Blessing be upon thee and thy House.

     

    -Stack.
     

     

    I'm not mad or even upset with you. All I'm saying is don't depend solely on the NGC price guide as it's not routinely updated based on current market conditions plus all the information contained is merely voluntary not manitory.

    Impact of COVID-19 on production, 2020

    On March 28, 2020, the West Point Mint, believed to be the only producer of bullion American Silver Eagles from 2018 up until early 2020, was shut down for cleaning after an employee tested positive for SARS-CoV-2.[67][68] The facility reopened on April 1, and bullion coin production was reduced to prevent employee exposure to COVID-19, before once again being shut down on April 15 due to safety concerns.[69]

    To make up for the reduced and later suspended production of silver bullion coins, the Philadelphia Mint struck 240,000 American Silver Eagles from April 8 through April 20,[70] making them among the rarest uncirculated issues to date.[71] Although these coins were physically identical to the West Point coins, coin grading companies began certifying Philadelphia Mint Silver Eagles as "Emergency Issues."[72] Production at West Point continued on April 21.[70]

    I guess that you'll continue to just ignore all the current sold listings data from multiple auctions because it doesn't fit your theory. Oh well you can't fix stupid.

  8. Stackerdude, earlier this year I bought a pre graded NGC MS 70 2022 burnished ASE. The NGC price guide lists that coin to be worth $110.00. I paid a grand total of $61.60 or only 44% of it's NGC listed price guide value (whichever way you want to look at it). So using your logic that the NGC price guide is the "Be all that ends all" I have a 56% profit margin. I always write down the NGC price guide value for every coin that I'm interested in purchasing - I make one absolute high bid and if anybody's bid is higher than mine they're usually in the red on the deal. Whenever I see the coin market is inflated due to too much hype surrounding that particular coin I tip toe out of the hobby and re - enter once the market cools off.

    Really?

    Tell that to the guy who sold that St. Gaudens for for $18 million. 

    Good investment.

    Remember money losses buying power every minute.….and Rust is the New Gold. 
     

    Ever been to Hot August Nights? Alot of old rust there.

    We live in a world of perceivement.  It is what one perceives it to be.

    I also know that NGC partners will loan $ on NGC graded coins. Its based on how much NGC grade value you have. 

    I don't need to take a loan for anything as I have plenty of cash in many banks earning interest. I also have zero debt.

    Tony, 

    You are so correct that any item (including ASE’s) are only worth what someone is willing to pay. It does NOT matter what the item is. It could be anything from bananas to bicycles, tires to shoes. 
     

    If you are a wise man, you will know that your greatest profit margin is in quick turnaround with the highest margin. I have sold multiplied millions of dollars worth of items in my life and know this to be FACT.

    Quick turnaround is what makes money! NOT slow turnaround. Covid proved this to the demise of many businesses. They could not sell product out of an empty barrel. 
     

    You say you bought a burnished ASE in 2019 for $80.00 and now in 2023 it is worth $165.00, …that is not bad, but it took you 4 years to double your book margin.

    I bought an E.P. 70 ASE last week for $50.00 and it is listed at $250+.  I did that 4 times. 

    Now, you guys TELL me, who got the greatest return on his cash??

    ANYTHING you buy to sell, or keep, or invest in is PURELY a NUMBERS V. TIME. Thing.

    Case CLOSED ///.

    Dude coins are NOT an investment by any means. I have many investments ranging from real estate to "I" series savings bonds. Oh btw the interest I make on those "I" series savings bonds compounds so needless to say that I don't just "Flip coins" to make a quick buck. "Quick buck artists come and go with every bull market but it's the steady players that make it through the bear markets" - Lou Manheim from the 1985 classic movie Wall Street.

    True, Covid made alot of “Sick” people “Sicker.”

    Especially in “New York City.”

    I just know my E.P. ASE’s are worth more than the regular bulls. NGC says so. I will go with that.

    Any TPG can and will put any price guide value to every coin but you must understand that those values are for retail sales for coin dealers not individuals. As such that information is merely "Volunteered" and is NOT guaranteed that you will get that money for your coins.

     

    "Any coin is only worth as much as someone's willing to pay for it at any given point in time" - Tony Follis. For example, in 2019 I bought a pre graded NGC MS 70 2013 burnished ASE for $80.00. Today if you were to check the NGC price guide value for that coin it's listed for $165.00.
