“Notably, the relatively new 2019-W Reverse Proof Palladium Eagle dropped 3,371 to 13,319 for 44.4% of the maximum 30,000.”

OUCH!

guess lots of PF-69s from the mint available now… makes me wonder, does the mint sell new stock before selling returned stock?

Piedmont

The USMint will probably fufill current orders with available stock, then slowly integrate returned murchandise. The more someone waits to order, the greater the chance of getting a previously return pd coin.
I doubt they will strike any more beyond what they currently have.

Gary G

What they are doing is cherrypicking the stock by ordering beyond their real needs, knowing they can just return the MS-69s. I ordered one of the Pride of Two Nations after it went back on sale and the Canadian coin was rotated 30 degrees, as if it had been taken out, and put back carelessly. The Mint needs to reconsider its return policy.

Mark Glass

I agree. It’s an absurd return policy that just invites the big dealers to find ways to bulk buy (somehow) and then dump the weakest back into the system, at little expense to themselves.

Granted, anyone should be able to return a damaged coin, but what happened to caveat emptor? You should expect to receive a good coin. Great is perhaps a little on the optimistic side.

Red

According to The mint website will only accept your return if it’s the whole order, not a partial order. Someone cannot but 1000 Paladium coins, look through them, keep 100 that look like 70’s and return the rest.

Chas Barber

HUrry, get these RARE dollar$ before they are placed into long term storage! Boy, another USM success story onthat Rev Pd proof huh kids!

Gary G

It’s difficult to think of a collector’s issue by the Mint this year that hasn’t turned out to be a sales disappointment.

Mark Glass

Ironically, I bet if they had put out just 17,000 Palladium’s, they’d have sold out in 5 mins. They got greedy, trying to sell too many at a time when the price is just not attractive. Crushed excitement and demand.

From a collectors standpoint, could this now be the ‘rare’ year? Of course, one mans “rare” is another mans “nobody wanted it…”

Gary G

You never know. The Breast Cancer $5 unc is considerably less in mintage than the Jackie Robinson or the Olympic Stadium one. The American Legion isn’t doing too well either, The Apollo 11 $5 unc, though, is a higher mintage, but will probably show up on dealer’s tables in a few years priced based on the price of gold. Maybe they’ll appreciate but I think they’ve flooded the market.

The Delaware AI dollar pictured in this article looks like an arcade token to me – the name appears to be stamped in.

Richard

We need a dollar to commemorate pointless dollar issues.

Gary G

Coming in 2021 with the Morgan-Peace thingy if they approve it which I hope they don’t.

Chas Barber

FUNNY SHEET RICHARD!!
