Coin Collector  on HSN guy is selling twenty thousand that’s right 20,000 800x500 coins boxes of MS70 ASE ty1 and Ty2 for $299.95! He is warning that they are going to sell out. This is what I dislike most about coin collecting. Ok the FINAL 400 boxes of Ty1 and the FIRST 400 boxes of Ty2. These are monster boxes so what would be the percentage of MS70 could he get from NGC ?   😡 how does this guy get 10% of all those minted?

Market grading , he sends a lot in that keeps grading companies busy in a favor return they give him a bunch 70’s …. All 70 grade is market hype grading nothing else, if anyone believes there is some magic behind 70 grade ? I feel bad for them , so be it … the 70 grade is becoming more and more common now

I kept watching, (for some reason) . He’s now selling the same set is MS69 for $179.95. The sales girl said hurry because we’ve already sold nearly 500 sets. I get it he hedges the investment in 800 boxes figuring some percentage will hit 70, the rest surely would be 69, so he covers his cost plus!

Now the same set in PR70 UCAm for $719.95 sheesh 🙄 I’m going to switch to the weather channel!

Someone will bite bullet and shell out the cash, there’s always that somebody who just has to have it now, registry builders will buy it quickly just to get in their registries , that I can why. Otherwise theres nothing wrong with plain Jane raw bullion just to have in your collecting to look at and forget all about hyped up 70 grade market

That is just ridiculous......those guys on the TV are just awful.  That said though, I kind of miss Barry Chappell.......he was just as bad as the rest of them, but he was a lunatic!!!  At least he was entertaining with his screaming and yelling and nicotine gum and Monster energy drink addictions.  I never bought anything from him and never would, but he did give my fiancée and I hours of laughter.

We actually named a Mystery Snail after Chappell......but our betta fish Hisako killed him :cry: !!  Maybe Hisako bought one of Barry's overpriced Proof Set specials back in the day.....

Mystery Snails are deeply cool.....I wish ours had done better.  However, when we were told that they could live with bettas, they didn't factor in Hisako's breed.  He's a Plakat, which is the breed that they actually use to fight in Thailand and Cambodia.  So he's literally the Siamese Fighting Fish.  As such, he is massively aggressive and territorial...even more so than other betta breeds.  We've had other bettas before, but Hisako is our very first Plakat.  We started with two Mystery Snails.  Hisako was fine for a few days and then he flipped like a switch was thrown....he killed and ate one snail and started punting Barry (the one we named after Chappell) around with his head like a soccer player!! We got Barry out of there, but it was too late....Hisako had already damaged him too much.  So, lessons learned: do NOT keep Mystery Snails with Plakat Bettas and no more roommates for Hisako whatsoever!!

Great tank James!!! I love it!! You and I actually have the same kind of heater......though I doubt your fish hit it with their heads and knock it off the wall like my Hisako does.  I also love your plants....they're very beautiful.  I'm considering live plants myself, actually.  I do have a marimo moss ball currently (with small betta fish head sized dents in it from Hisako's raucous "playing"), so I'm kind of wondering how live plants will go with him......well, it can't go worse than the Mystery Snails did!

Love your fish, Hog and James!! And your frog as well, Hog.  I love those little frogs.....but I'm not going to provide Hisako with another murder victim!!! I was going to get a picture of Hisako for you guys.......but his light bar crapped the bed tonight!!  Now, we've gotta figure out how to replace it.....it's built into the tank lid......this should be fun!

This product brought up a question, which I’m going to post on Ask NGC also. Has anybody seen this with the two 2021 quarters?

I wish whoever is in charge of releasing information and renderings of products would stop with the games and release info on the limited edition set. There’s one place that the quarters are going to be but because it’s super secret we wait 😈.  The uncirculated set is posted and the gold eagle is posted. They have to know that the listing says S&W mint Marks with out clarification. Sorry I’m rambling 🙀
