Nope, I only asked one question. “Why were there “Emergency Production ASE’s produced by the San Francisco and Philadelphia Mints for 2020 & 2021?”

I had no idea a question about “Emergency Production” ASE’s could become so intangental and obscure. 🤪

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

I check the auction prices as well. It is true that these coins are down a bit, but that won’t last long. I do enjoy the NGC Market report, as it gives you an eyeball on certain coins.

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.

Thank you Vendetta50. You are a breath of fresh air!🇺🇸👍

As in all metals, gold, silver platinum & palladium the market goes up and down. Just like stocks. Buy low sell high😆

The 2020 (P) “E.P.” is a “Unique Identifier” Coin. It is a 1 year issue only and of that year 240,000 coins were struck indented to be “Homogenous,” bullion coins without mint marks in Philly. There are also Roosevelt dimes without a mint mark so this DOES happen. Now we know that the bullion coins are all stuck at (W) and the proofs in their respective Mints along with the M/S coins struck elsewhere. So stock up!

As you can see boxes 400,000-400,479 were specially labeled.

Here is the letter from the U.S. Mint

Nobody needs to buy me anything. Please STOP with your insults. Everyone has a right to their opinion. Good or bad. Coins Matter.

I ORIGINALLY asked the question “Why were 2020 & 2021 graded bullion coins marked ‘Emergency Production’ ?” The replies have been anything from Good, Better, Best, to Off Point, Irrelevant, disingenuine, insulting and some downright Laughable. I rarely post on the NGC Chat-board, mainly because I get the same usual nonsense. And, usually from the same “Chat-sters.” I DON’T need to know if you have low property taxes or carry a concealed weapon on your way to a coin show, or what kind of bumper sticker your car or truck wears. I did not ask those questions, nor, do I care. I also do NOT need to be instructed on what to buy or when to buy, as Mercanti’s book states: “The Future is Unknown” when it comes to buying coins, the price of any coin may rise or fall at ANY time. What is right for you may not be right for me or the other guy. It is ALL based on speculation. History tells the story ONLY of what was made when two acts are completed…. The day he buys and the day he sells. The 240,000 (P) Bullion Coins Minted in 2020 are as the research proves “different” from the rest of the ordinary bulls. When minted in Philly they were wrapped and marked and put in specially marked “Monster” boxes and shipped to their respective “preferred” mint customers. From there, they were graded and encapsulated to be sold on the secondary market. Both NGC & PCGS note this special labeling EQUAL to a mint mark. Sure, if you remove it from its graded holder it would, and thereupon, become undistinguishable from an ordinary non graded bull, but what collector would do that? The price would degrade to melt value. All I am saying here is when in 50 years your or my inherit-tees sells a coin that has a label “E.P.” It may or may not garner a premium. Why? Dunno, the future is uncertain. Heck, they could have put “Covid Coin” on the label. Would that coin then become “untouchable?” I don’t think so, nor does NGC or PCGS. If I buy something today at $50.00 and sell at $250.00 I make a profit. The net result of what I make or you make is my or your business. That is not determined on a Chat-Board by self proclaimed “Numismatic” collectors. Some you win, some you lose, or break even. It is all in the pleasure of the deal. Just like throwing the dice at a Casino. The pleasure is in the game. It is all based on speculation. Caveat: “Let the buyer Beware.” “You can Buy, or You can Sell, but the price… Well, You can Never Tell.” - Stack.

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] source Wikipedia
