On May 16, the United States Mint released rolls and bags dollars celebrating Innovation in Maine. These $1 coins depict Dr. Bernard Lown and his invention, the direct current defibrillator.
Offered in options of 25-coin rolls and 100-coin bags, priced at $34.50 and $117.50 respectively, the products logged initial sales of a combined 908,150 coins, marking one of the best starts in the series to date. However, this is behind the immediate prior dollar release featuring a Saturn V rocket, representing innovation in Alabama, which opened with a total of 980,800 coins and now stands at 1,002,625 coins.
Each of the Maine dollar products was a top weekly seller for the U.S. Mint, occupying spots 1, 2, 4, and 6. Elsewhere in the top 10, coins minted in silver dominated, supported by the sharp rise in silver prices.
Here is the roster of the U.S. Mint’s most sought-after numismatic products for the week ending on May 19:

Wow! 17% of Garfield silver medals returned on mint report for this week!
Slabber returns, at least some of them?
Rick, that’s got to be the majority of them, plus dealers not selling their quota.
My goodness, Sueleo, could they possibly have been expecting the other one?
Very low mintage on the proof gold eagles. Premium over spot is just to high and with the resale value (to dealers) just barely above regular bullion makes no financial sense. Unless you are a true collector, not worth it. I am keeping my powder dry for a shot at the flowing hair coin later this year. Maybe. Unless a better shiney object comes along.
ECG, I’m taking a pass on the gold. My concern with the Flowing Hair is going to be the product limits. Nothing is mentioned yet, but the HOL=5 gives me some pause suggesting it’s going to be at least in the 75,000 range for the silver (like the American Liberty) — If it’s six digits, I’m not interested at all. Also, its 230th Anniversary reminds me of 2021’s 100th Anniversary of the Morgan and Peace. I thought 2021 was going to be a one-off than the Mint brought them back in 2023 as annuals. I’d hate to see the Mint… Read more »
I’ve been going here for Flowing Hair items:
https://www.dc-coin.com/1grabenercoinpressmedallionsaleprice-1-6-1-1-1-1-1-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-1-1-1-1-1-1.aspx
They look good.
I will say, that turning an Authentic $14–$30 ASE(depending when purchased) into nothing more than an overpriced $120 Silver Round is Capitalism at its finest! But again, they do look good, and are ‘American’ made through and through? ASE’s are made from American produced Silver? Or do they(USM) buy Silver planchets from overseas nowadays, that is the question?..
Anyway thanks for the link Drone!
Rick and Government Drone (great moniker, by the way),
If there’s even the faintest scent in the air of any way to possibly make money, someone will be sure to detect that and get right on it.
He better be careful, Money is dirty as ever, a Bank Teller told me one day. Not to be mean, but Vince probably needs a nice Covid Catch to wake him up, or put him to sleep lol…
He turned out to be–edit–Is a real creep..But a very Rich Creep!
But then again, in my younger wild days I must admit, that I have snorted a certain substance from a rolled up $20 without a care in the World! Lol…..
Then again, who didn’t Rick, how many among us didn’t?
Oh for sure, Rick, this is one no doubt very clever, extremely shrewd and by all accounts now obscenely wealthy creep!
Wasn’t there some news report and/or urban rumor – these days it seems to be somewhat problematic to differentiate between the two – that now it’s rather rare to come across any U.S. paper money not showing traces of Colombian snuff?
Government Drone,
Gotta love their parody quarters…
I’m just amazed by the performance of the Maine AI$. I get Alabama selling like crazy because of the rocket. But a defibrillator? No doubt it’s an important invention, and the Mint may drive us all to needing one, but it’s not a particularly enticing design IMO with the floating bust hovering over a patient getting shocked like an out-of-body experience. Perhaps the Maine State Museum and the Lown Institute (in MA) are snatching these up?
Maybe the Fed ordered them(some)like they did the Kennedy half dollars last year? Seigniorage is key for both entities to look good, bottom line that is?
I’m sort of asking, as opposed to knowing what’s going on there…
Rick,
Monetarily speaking, seigniorage as such constitutes a plus for the Mint and a debit for the Federal Reserve, so I’m not clear as to how that would be a win-win situation. It is true, however, that whenever the Fed specifically orders cents and nickels from the Mint the latter is forced to take a financial bath.
And that(financial bath)is precisely why the Mint has introduced a mind boggling increase in the number of Quarter AND Dollar designs for the last several years, not to mention those Half Dollars(A Cash Cow). Those coins are Minted and used for the(mostly)sole purpose to absorb/make up the production costs for the lowly Nickel and Cent, not to mention the increased Mint Hirees and the new benefits that they enjoy. The unprecedented release and subsequent sale of these new coins creates the positive cash flow that’s reflected on the Mint balance sheet. The collectors of these coins have been marketed &… Read more »
Rick,
I certainly get it with the Dimes and Quarters, which make a great profit for the Mint when they are sold to the Fed at face value, but when it comes to the Half Dollars and Dollars, regardless of how much of a “lesser cost to Mint” versus “higher face value at Fed” difference those two coins represent, unless the Fed actually buys these higher denominations from the Mint there is no resulting seigniorage.
I would admit that I was more focused on the Mint angle of accounting practices in this case. I will say however that I believe(maybe a rumor)that the Fed indeed orders Millions of Halves, and into the Banks(and Military ammo depot)they go…
Now I sound like some sort of a “theorist” LOL…
Regardless of a seigniorage +/- $ ratio from the Mint–It is, as I would describe as Chump Change compared to what the Fed is really challenged with…….
https://www.usdebtclock.org/
Perhaps those Half Dollars make ideal targets for precise laser guns.
Well, Rick, that kind of pits the U.S. Debt Clock against the Doomsday Countown to Midnight Clock in a race to the finish.
How are they selling 2024 proof sets when my order for one made almost three months ago won’t be ready until May 31, per a call to the mint.
Subscriptions have first dibs? Shouldn’t be that way, but maybe so?
Rick and Jim M.
That is a strange one. Quite frankly as that question reads, I myself haven’t a clue.
Call them again to check up with your order#. Possibly left on their digital shelf and forgotten?
Clearly the current high price of gold is a home run for sellers but pretty much of a strikeout for buyers. Not that this isn’t the typical situation due to the standard buy/sell differential, it just seems to be having a bigger impact than usual this time, possibly due to gold’s very rapid and surprisingly high runup in value. As it is, I and other coin collectors who have long now found the price of gold coins daunting as it is have transitioned to an apprehension even beyond sticker shock with what resembles a visit to the “neverland” section in… Read more »
Got my Maine bag orders yesterday—except that the P-mint box contained just a roll, not a bag. I’m going to try sending that back for a replacement soon. First time I got a wrong product from the Mint.
Well, that answers one of my questions from the other day – has anyone ever gotten the wrong product from the Mint? Thanks for sharing your answer, Gov.
Actually, I once received an extra item in my order from the USM! Of course it was a low value item – not worth returning – at least through UPS, the original shipper.
FINALLY – after several days of my comments being in moderation for one minute and then evaporating, one made it through. Thought for a moment I would have to give up on the site and wondered if I had been cancelled
Welcome aboard.
Dave’s not here man…..welcome.
Lol Chong! Someone else nearby needs a good bong hit right about now. KEITHSTER, how about you bud? Or is it just them good Essential Oils?…
Funny thing is–DAVESWFL has been posting all along, last time about a week ago?
A Cheech and Chong classic!
Major D, Rick and John Q. Coinage,
That’s one of those all-time best movie comedy moments, the kind you never forget. Like Steve Martin’s iconic missing rental car complaint scene in “Planes, Trains and Automobiles”!
DAVESWFL,
That’s happened to me before also. Remains a mystery of the Occident.
That’s a “shhhhh … nobody needs to know” deal. I hope you spent your windfall frivolously or, alternatively, on another order of coins.
REB,
We’re going to assume the U.S. Mint Official Secrets Act statute of limitations has long expired, so it’s likely safe to say he’s in the clear.
Back when the mint first released the Morgan Dollars in 2021 (who could forget that fiasco) I placed my orders for 1 each…i received all but the CC …said shipped on mint site and awaiting item on ups site. After much back and forth with the mint i finally got a refund about 1 month later since obviously it was sold out…appeared to be in the netherworld between the 2 (UPS and MINT)…….here’s the kicker….almost a YEAR to the date i was suppose to receive the CC….. it showed up.I took that for the win since i had already had… Read more »
Nice score! And you deserved it for free with all the hassle that you went through anyway.
Agreed. Patience & hassle pays off, Domenic.
REB and Rick,
Hear hear! Much extra effort most reasonably rewarded.
Domenic, I’m happy for you to have two now! I missed getting all but the Philadelphia 2021 Morgans, but then was able to add San Fran from the Mint’s Vault Sale last year. Still looking to add the CC and O Privies and Denver when there’s a good deal.
Domenic Vaiasicca,
Without going into details – after all, you just never know in our current day (Everybody’s) Big Brother Is Watching You world – I must say that your fateful adventure and its fruitful conclusion reminded me a bit of the lucrative “corner cutting” exercises my own family out of necessity found itself engaged in behind the Iron Curtain in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Not saying that your move was in any way akin to those little gambits we managed but simply acknowledging some impressive sleight of hand when I see it.
REB, I’m happy you got your L&B and are satisfied with it. I had missed seeing your earlier comment until this morning, lost in that 315-comment thread.
The unfortunate thing about the joint releases you mentioned are that it goes both ways, with the other Mint selling many versions. I see that TRM has bullion/BU versions of L&B which are selling on APMEX for $5 over spot for silver and $75 over spot for gold. I wish that they were all proofs and that the US Mint would have insisted upon that.
Major D,
Not in any way to gloss over any of your points, but one of the main differences between the U.S. Mint and the Royal Mint is that the latter sells bullion products directly to the public while the former does not.
damn, I should be looking closer. I’ve been stacking the unopened boxes as I receive them. was the white Mint box labeled correctly as a 24GBC and it included a roll inside, or did they just send a 24GRC labeled box (P-roll) instead of a 24GBC?
Major D says(L&B returns, etc), “Rick, I think the Mint does in fact produce more coins than the product limit, figuring in a certain percent return.” I tend to agree with that, but that line of thinking conflicts with the “Mint to demand” theory, kinda. Since it appears that they did NOT produce the 10,000 product limit, given the 3 months to ship, how many coins did they strike from mid-Feb, to mid-April-ish? The mint sales count after the 30 day window had closed, was(in 3/10 report)… 1) Gold @ 5525 pcs. 2) Silver @ 32904 pcs. Now the(5/19 report)reflects…… Read more »
Rick – our resident test subject! I’m curious too but not enough to return anything with expectations that I’d get something better back. My less-than-perfect Purple Heart colorized dollar is evidence of my fear & trepidation regarding dealing with the US Mint.
I sent the Mint an email with the question of getting a new replacement coin upon returning my coin for quality issues(L&B Gold). So let the test begin & see what they say. Give it a day or two the auto reply email said.
Please be sure to report back with updates.
Well gentlemen,
Unltil we get a highly trained collector mole deeply embedded in a top position at the Mint we remain dependent on sheer speculation.
Respectfully, “ain’t no way”! Those numbers are accurate.
If they are then I will will say “blow me over with a feather”
Agreed. I think they are doing just what they did with the $1 Alabama coin. Manipulate and hype the sales numbers to create FOMO. But I could be wrong. The Mint detectives that we have here will keep us up to date.
The only basis for the numbers is the Mint, so we only know what they report. I’d say the real proof in the pudding is whether they are on “Remind Me” or not. In the case of Alabama, they are no longer available, and the sales numbers are close to (and over for the D-roll and P-bag) the stated product limits– so I’d conclude that Alabama rolls and bags are sold out and that one isn’t hype. For Maine, who knows? There could be a bunch of returns and negative sales reported next Wednesday (bumped a day because of the… Read more »
Does the Mint have an Inspector General and regular audits? When I worked for the federal courts, we had frequent audits. How much internal and external accountability is required of the Mint?
REB, I have no idea as to the inner workings of the Mint, but I’d bet that it must have audits. And I’d hope it’s every bit as intense as with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing when it comes to making and destroying legal tender.
Yes they do audit everything as best they can. Anything that displays a final Mintage has been through the audit process.
In most cases it takes more than a year(2-3) to get to that final published Mintage figure imo.
Guys,
I find it more than slightly humorous that while we coin aficionados here go about dissecting every product and purpose of U.S. Mint operations the great majority of the American population likely doesn’t know or care about the difference between the place which makes our circulating coinage and a popular after dinner treat.
That’s why we are “special”…
Just what is really inside that 5.32 oz “Mint” bag…Inquiring minds want to know. We’re going to need an audit of the contents pronto, just to be sure…
How about that treat after lunch? Guilty I am!
Rick,
Would you suggest I have the whole thing slabbed or should I eat all the goodies first and have just the bag encapsulated?
Lol ! Might I kindly ask for just one of those “Bars” to be left for me to encapsulate? After all, I believe it will Grade at a high level, and of course in “Mint” State condition!
And then to top it off, I’ll get a fancy “Green Sticker”…
Then, at last it will match my collection of “Rick Hallmarked” Slabs! Lol.
Oh lord call me a Mint and slather me in Chocolate, Rick; you’ve got me rolling in the Gooey aisles here. I suppose that’s my Richly deserved laugh after that Sweet joke I handed you!
Odd sales #s, AI not really so popular. Saturn V I get but they went CU to there2 buy to Cu…. FOMO act has been played by USM since Sr. Ryder.
Yes, the Mint has played some of us (guilty of that)
Major D,
Very astute of you to pick up on the fact that in order for one to be fooled in many if not even all cases one has to be a willing accomplice.
Before I start I want to apologize to everyone except REB for bringing this up here from the previous tread after all those names calling in his last 2-3 comments to me. I just feel that I have to respond to him and I couldn’t do it there. REB you mentioned something about mental health issues, but you are the one who is sick in head. I can use vocabulary you are using, but I know that I am much better person than that. I also have to admit that I see the light at the end of the tunnel,… Read more »
More rantings of a madman. Please get help.
REB many people here were trying to deescalate, but your BIG EGO is not letting you to apologize to them. You are such a disappointment, but you made huge progress. From calling me an asshole, now I’m just a madman. Medication you are getting started to work, but there may be a bigger problem. Maybe it is not you after all, maybe you were rise that way and you don’t know that you can use MAGIC words like “I’m sorry” when you did something wrong or “thank you” as a way to appreciate for something. It is never to late… Read more »
This is your second post in a row without one mention of coins. Again, please get help. There are plenty of licensed therapists in NYC.
Darek,
I did not abandon REB. He has been commenting here for years with no issues with anyone. I have seen you commenting for a matter of weeks and you are already causing strife. I chose not to respond to CaliSkier for the sake of peace. Shame you could not manage something similar.
Jeff, The really first comment I read you posted here was when you pumped your chest being so proud that you were able to insult someone. I don’t know you and your history here, but from just couple of comments you posted here I’m guessing that you improved your behavior. I didn’t say that you abandoned him completely, but at least you didn’t jump in to insult me or others this time. You should be proud of yourself and I really mean it. If you disagree with someone you could do it in civil way without calling names, the way… Read more »
Darek, I really hoped that after two new articles it would be a fresh start for everyone. Many have said that they’d like this site to be about coin talk. That’s been my preference, and REB has said the same. And that’s what we were all doing on this thread. Up to this point, no one carried anything forward and instead heeded the “let it go” advice from the CCAC thread, preferring to focus on the numismatics and “love of coins” that we all have in common vs. the other things that are divisive. But then you did the opposite… Read more »
Completely agree.
As long as we keep trying, and trying and trying…
I was digging around and decided to revisit my old junk silver/misc box(a used monster box)full of a variety of silver goodies from 2009-13.(to sell something else)… I ‘discovered’ a couple of items that I completely forgot about… 1) A slabbed set of the first 2010 ATB ‘Bullion’ 5 oz coins. The ones that you could only get from the big bulk guys like APMEX, Fidelitrade, etc.(besides eBay as 3rd’s).. 2) A nice slabbed(older PCGS)Morgan MS-65(had to be my 1st one!)–A potential “grade upgrade” story to share like that other one @TPG currently. More on that later… 3) This beauty… Read more »
And George in all of his shiny 5oz glory…
Man, I sure like your junk drawer better than mine!
Seriously.
Lol, well, technically speaking the box is mostly full of “junk Silver” pre 64 “doomsday” coins lol
Reb, Major D and Rick,
One thing I’ve always thought of as a little bit discordant regarding the ATB 5 oz. coins (“hockey pucks”) is that they have a legal face value of 25 cents. I don’t know what the alternative to this would have been, but I do know that on a monetary level this is very odd.
Yeah, talk about deflation – a hockey puck with the same value as a quarter. But, the same could be said about a gold $100 coin. I don’t even think my grandmother would have cashed that in for 100 one-dollar bills. Sadly, she cashed in almost every other coin my grandfather had collected for face value. Zoinks!
Reb,
I’m glad you continued the discussion regarding this issue about face values because I only now realized that the ATB 5 oz. quarter could be said to be more or less at the opposite end of the spectrum of the Zimbabwe trillion dollar banknote.
Rick,
Wasn’t the Hawaii ATB Silver 5 oz. MS coin the priciest of the entire series in the secondary market? If so, you’ve got a bit of a bonanza on your hands there, my friend!
Yes, as I recall it was/is a crowd favorite and I bought it during its hype the year it was released. I kept the receipt. On 10/15/2012 I paid $268.35 for it(eBay), and that was expensive, but it is a DMPL. Looking up the cert # on PCGS reflects a higher value now, however more often than not, PCGS values are inflated. Sometimes a lot! Regardless, I won’t lose money on it I’d guess.
And for “regardless point #2”, even if you choose not to sell it you’ve got what in this series amounts to the key coin! Can’t ask for better than that!
I’ll keep it for now since it’s been rediscovered!
Best hide it, Rick, just in case the Mint issues an involuntary recall!
If they insist to reclaim it, I suppose that they could “pry it from my cold, dead hands” LOL…
Here is a question for anyone/everyone that puts unopened boxes from the mint directly into their safe/storage containers. I noticed from some of the comments here lately that many do this, but should we? Many cardboard and paper stocks (patictularly shipping boxes) still contain sulphur and other chemicals that will adversely effect metals such as silver, copper and nickel over time. Do we know if shipping boxes from sovereign mints have been produced from papers that do not contain these additives? We know that most of the US Mint coins and medals are shipped in ‘air-tights’ but what about everything… Read more »
Hmm. Food for thought. Thanks for posting.
Quick follow-up. I wonder if all of those packing and padding inserts are also chemical (PVC) free? They are intended to protect during shipping but what about potential long-term storage problems?
Honestly, I also wonder about the boxes, COAs, clamshells, and capsules that the Mint produces for its products. Has that stuff been tested? But that’s not it, have slab materials been tested? Sounds like the Mint could use a job fair for chemists.
REB, being a late bloomer to Mint products I’ve bought several proof sets, uncirculated sets, and commemoratives from earlier years at auction on eBay to catch up. I try to be careful about what I pay for them, so when I get some that are sub-par it’s not as big a deal. I’ve found sets from each decade from the 60’s onward (1982 onward for the commemoratives) will have some coins in the cellos, lenses, or capsules with some tarnish or crud on them. The crud seems to happen more with Lincoln cents in cellos, but I’ve also found on… Read more »
And do the Mint workers was their hands when returning from the restroom? 😉
Christo, thanks for raising a good, valid concern. To clarify, in my case I do indeed take the contents out of the shipping box, check the order and retrieve the shipping receipt — but if there is an additional Mint sealed product box, I will sometimes leave that unopened for multiples. For instance, the white sealed product boxes for the AI$ 25-rolls and 100-boxes, and the brown sealed boxes for the Uncirculated sets. These clad sets take up way too much space and are not safe worthy for that reason IMO. For future resale I think having in the sealed… Read more »
Good point. The only comment from the mint regarding long term storage of their coins is to store them in a cool dry place.
Sort of off topic. Are the PCGS, NGC etc encased coins waterproof? Anyone had a incident of their graded coins being submerged in water after their cool dry storage place got flooded?
I had an old rattler that was accidently dropped in a sink filled with water (don’t ask). The slab filled with water and destroyed the label. I can’t speak for the newer versions but since then I’ve never wanted to test and find out.
I have received boxes from the mint (shipper) that snelled musty. Since I open EVERYTHING as soon as I get it, I don’t worry about the box storage problem. My guess is that the product I’m getting was FILO inventory and maybe up against a damp wall or some such moisture exposure. So I’d at the very least subject my sealed boxes to the smell test.
There’s no way I could leave a PM order in the box – too big of a chance of an error by the shipping center. It HAS happened!
The “musty” smell might have resulted from something at the shipper’s warehouse. From what I witnessed when I worked at a UPS distribution warehouse when I was in school, it’s a wonder ANYTHING gets to its destination undamaged.
Positioning, cushioning, wrapping, boxing, sealing, handling and stacking; if all those are performed properly, no problem. I guess I did pick up some tricks in the caulk shipping business.
DAVESWFL,
I’m with you there, brother. I would go crazy wondering what’s inside!
OMG, folks – it’s my iPad that has cancelled me!!
I crafted a long reply to Christo on the iPad and when I posted it, same message and comment evaporation a minute later.
Very puzzling. I even tried using my wife’s email and handle for user name and got the same result.
Guess I’m lucky I had to use my phone to post yesterday so at least I’m not shut out totally.
Anyone with ideas/remedies for my iPad would be greatly appreciated
Several others here use their iPad too. John Q, AKBob
Any problems?
Lots of them, Rick, but ones that I would likely be much more inclined and willing to share with a therapist than on a coin site. Hmmm…now that I think of it, maybe that wasn’t actually the intent of your question! 😉
Rick, I too use an iPad! I do not have regular internet or WiFi. My iPad works just like my Iphone. I use AT&T for my Iphone & Ipad. It works well. Boy, 10-15 years ago it was extremely difficult to get a computer to work with the internet, We had a terrible signal. I use to have to call the Mint to make an order for a new product and when it was a hot release, it was really difficult to get thru. I was able to get 5 sets of the 25th Anniversary Silver Eagle Set by calling… Read more »
AKBob, I’ve jokingly told my wife and kids over the years that I want to move to Greenland and get away from everything and open up a brick-oven pizza place in Nuuk. So, she got me this 3-inch/9-oz bronze art medal:1979 Greenland Anders Nyborg Medal for Knud Rasmussen, 1879-1979, by H. Salomon. Dogsledding is how I also envision Alaska, lol- though I know the reality must be far different. I’ve since acquired other Anders Nyborg medals with designs by Nordic and native artists. Some cool stuff.
That’s cool, it looks 3D!
“An old saying, ‘If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance………baffle them with bullshit’!!!”
Words to live (large) by. Good stuff.
Good one AK! I do that all the time. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I got through for the 2011 5 coin ASE sets, and for the life of me I can’t figure out why I only purchased four? A couple of weeks after taking delivery I sold one on the bay for $775, not bad for a $300 buy! The other 3 sets I sealed & tucked away until this March. One set I’ll keep or sell whole. And the other two sets I have broken up. I picked out 4 coins for grading for now. 2-P coins, and… Read more »
Christo,
As far as keeping your powder and your slabs dry, I think that’s a good idea.
Christo,
I’m not sure what you mean by “most of the US Mint coins and medals are shipped in ‘air tights’ “. Since those Mint items come in loose boxes or clamshells they are not offered any protection from the effects of air. In fact, only those Mint products that are placed into lucite lenses are afforded even a modicum of protection from the air, and from experience I can tell you even those aren’t necessarily foolproof.
Christo,
I just had to hit myself over the head for one part of my previous comment where I went astray. Of course the coins and medals come in airtight condition since they are individually encapsulated inside their boxes and clamshells. Duh!
Kaiser, as I was writing up my reply regarding the capsules, I was distracted for a bit and didn’t see your corrective reply in doing so.
Sorry to come off as some kind of smarty pants know it all. I was attempting to inject some humor into it though, since I had that photo of mine handy…
Rick¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
Kaiser,
Here is a Coin from the USM that was struck in 2009. It is the Braille UNC Silver Coin. It has been placed in an Airtight provided by the Mint and has remained this way for 15 years and counting(as ALL coins are). I can assure you with no doubt, that the Airtite has provided much, much more than just a modicum of protection from the air. It still looks like it did in 2009…
I hope that this photo can, at the very least, provide you with an “eye opening” experience…
“Eye opening” Braille Commemerative. Good one.
Christo,
I guess that comment smacks of being “politically incorrect” but since I find pc-ness to be utterly ridiculous anyway, I love your joke!
I was just repeating Rick’s joke for those who didn’t catch it.
I know better 🙂
Aside from the fact that I would be the last to take offense at anything deemed either politically incorrect or in poor taste, for that matter, I’m glad you did repeat his joke because truth be told it had gone right over my head when I read it on Rick’s comment! One just never know, do one? 😉
Rick,
A per the photo I can see not only how great the protection is that has been keeping the Braille coin in such pristine condition but also how foolish I was to include include “modicum” in my comment; clearly in this case it was a throwaway word that didn’t get thrown away far or soon enough! 🙂
And since I don’t know the exact meaning of that word, I can only surmise that it relates to the size of my Bank Account lately, LOL
Putting all the relevent surmises together here, Rick, I can venture to say that you’re likely right on the money (tee hee)!
I have that coin. Bought it when I used to collect commemoratives. A very bland coin. Tough to get even spot money for a sale now and it’s only 90% silver. A perfectly good silver planchet ruined with a lousy design.
I’ll sell mine for scrap in a few years
Tell me about it. I sold that coin in early April auction style. Spot was near $27, and the guy bought it for $27 that included his tax & shipping. So he won it for $21.50…
I netted $17.50 on it. Talk about never again! Sell it Buy it now at a higher $ as it languishes, or wait until spot reaches $90 to break even lol. The reverse is unique with the actual Braille writing on it. Don’t know what it says, but hey?….
Rick and East Coast Guru,
Mint commemorative coins are best thought of solely as collectible items for their own sake, minus any serious thought given to the idea that they might some day land one a windfall.
Braille on a collector’s coin seems kind of counter-intuitive, particularly in a plastic capsule with an item that should not be touched with bare hands.
It’s long been a somewhat depressing reality, East Coast Guru, that U.S. Mint Commemorative Coins not only don’t appreciate in value but in fact typically take a bit of a nose dive over time.
Kaiser, commemoratives have defied the concept that low mintages translate into higher values later. The low mintages were a result of low demand back when they were issued, and there continues to be low demand years later. This is not good for reselling, but great for buying as there are some deals to be had. And as far as number of designs go, I wonder which has more- the commemoratives or the quarters? But, the more designs, the more to collect!
Love the meme, Major D!
I think that old wise man is on to something!
Yes, that wise old man also said that you can’t exchange your wife of 40 (years) for two 20’s (years). Or, in my case a wife of 60 for three 20’s.
Funny stuff.
Holy Cow, Batman, does that mean since my wife is 75 my female exchange rate would be three twenties and a 15 year old jailbait?
Oh holy cow plop! Women don’t read these threads, do they?
Major D,
Likely the most useful explanation I’ve ever come across of how the U.S. Mint Commemorative market really works. Many thanks!
