Kaiser Wilhelm

Looks like the US Mint’s three annual flagship items are doing just fine this year while the 2024 Morgan and Peace silver dollars are tanking compared to their previous go-around. I think there might be more that just a bit of a lesson to be learned here.

Antonio

Good, good, more for meeeee…… 😀

Kaiser Wilhelm

Now there, Antonio, is a positive attitude!

Major D

Kaiser, I’d say “doing fine” in the relative sense. After 31 weeks 24RG is at 302,224, whereas 23RG was at 364,511 and 22RG at 398,645 after the same amount of time. For 24RJ after 7 weeks is 140,831 vs 23RJ at 169,269 and 22RJ at 169,427 after the same amount of time. For 24RH after 16 weeks is 148,022 vs 23RH at 183,262 and 22RH at 204,582 after the same amount of time. On a product-to-product basis sales appear to me to be down across the board compared to the previous year’s offering.

Major D

Major D,

Many thanks for getting into the kind of nitty-gritty numbers work that allowed for a far more inclusive, complete and above all accurate version of this story to be told. All in all, I believe it to be exceedingly fortunate that in the final analysis at least one of us was ready, able and willing to get down to a much more exacting level of detail regarding the various pertinent facts and figures for the five particular Mint products in question both for the previous years of 2022 and 2023 and for the current year 2024 to date.

You’re very welcome! Some really big rate of sales declines, Kaiser– which lead to revenue declines. I wonder how the Mint is going to spin this on the 2024 Annual Report.

Kaiser Wilhelm

Well, Major D, the Mint can always go with either TBA or N/A.

Antonio

Do you think that the program will be discontinued as of 2028 due to “lack of bullion available”?

Kaiser Wilhelm

Antonio,

I’m not sure which Mint program you are making reference to. By the way, by “bullion” do you possibly mean silver planchets?

Rick

I hope so.

Kaiser Wilhelm

Hope springs eternal.

Tony@GA

Really makes no difference – the sales – they’ll just offer it for the next 10 years plus until it sells out.

Nothing to see here…. Keep moving….

Kaiser Wilhelm

Tony@GA,

Technically speaking, Tony, there is always something to see; what really matters and decides what we do see is how much if anything it happens to mean to us. 😉

What are these Flowing Hair Silver Medals currently worth? Pinehurst is offering a bounty, if that tells you anything? Although they say only Mint Fresh sealed coins will be accepted, they are offering 3 pricing tiers. $125 for (opened), $150 for (Mint sealed) and $2,000 for privy medals. Directions seem a bit confusing as on one hand they say opened will get rejected yet the offer $125 (opened), $150 (mint sealed) and $2,000 for privy w/no mention as sealed or unsealed. Anyhow, just thought some here may want to know how one dealer is playing this game. You can see… Read more »

Thanks Cali,
$2000 when buying someone’s raw privy tells me that they would be flipping a graded 70 for $5000, maybe more? 1794 is a small mintage with any moderns, even if it’s a medal(of such a classic design).. How many 70’s will spawn from that mintage? That is the question…
I could see the allure of some quick cash, but I think I would pass on that “deal”

Kaiser Wilhelm

Rick,

As always you’ve hit this (likely somewhat rusty) nail right on its (possibly rather) crooked head. After all, since what we’re dealing with here is a Silver Medal whose most extraordinary boost in value comes from something you can’t possibly see until and unless you unpack, i.e. open the Mint box containing the item itself, in what manner could it possibly make any sense to throw that potential “big win” away via a cleverly-orchestrated sealed box fire sale?

Rich

Rick, the 2024 Flowing Hair Silver Medal “230” privy mintage of 1,794 is indeed a small mintage for any of the moderns. For comparative purposes, some other “moderns” with ultra low mintage figures are: 2024-W Uncirculated Greatest Generation $5 Gold Coin: latest sales (10/13/24) = 1,159 2024-W Uncirculated Harriet Tubman $5 Gold Coin: latest sales (10/13/24) = 1,201 2022-W Uncirculated Negro Leagues Baseball $5 Gold Coin: final sales = 1,507 2022-W Uncirculated National Purple Heart $5 Gold Coin: final sales = 1,688 2021-W Uncirculated National Law Enforcement $5 Gold Coin: final sales = 1,753 2020-W $50 AGE Proof v75 privy:… Read more »

As Der Kaiser it is therefore my singular honor and personal privilege to present you with five regal stars for the above related humorous masterpiece.

Hey the “AvailableCount” field is back on the US Mint Site. As a test case 24XL (2024 Peace Proof) reports 150,050 vs. 148,205 sales on the 10/13/2024 cumulative sales report and a product limit of 300,000.

I was on Collector’s Universe forum and some one reported about 7,500 of the Flowing Hair Silver Medal available early this morning before the HHL was removed. After reading this, I couldn’t check Flowing Hair because it was currently unavailable. I checked 24XL.

Thanks Vinnie,
So Mike Unser said,
“First day sales: 31,695 units, per Mint.”
And you said “About 7500 available early this morning”(per the forum)puts it at around 40,000 ordered? KCSO looks to have made a pretty good estimate. And that sounds quite reasonable for the mint to strike that many. The Mint would positively never strike all 75,000 medals initially, not a chance imo. And I hope they keep it that way, cap it off..
My medal shipped out today 7:00 p.m. Eastern, and I’m keeping it privy or no privy..

Major D

VinnieC, i just noticed that 24XL has a product limit, but no mintage limit– adding in the Bulk40 (24XL040) sales will put it over 300,000.

Kaiser Wilhelm

VinnieC,

I’m not sure if I should thank you for that bit of information or cuss you out instead considering how I can now go back to having something else to obsess about again!

VinnieC

Sorry Major D to trick you into doing the heavy lifting
Sorry Kaiser to add more craziness into your life.

BTW the other forum also mentioned PCGS population reports were available (from the advance purchasers?) for the FH. MS69 = 418; MS70=735; MS69 Privy = 10; MS70 Privy = 40

Kaiser Wilhelm

VinnieC,

Sorry to make you feel you had to be sorry about anything. In that respect please allow me to reference the unofficial motto of the British Royal Family, “Never complain, never explain.”

But hold on there, as I can already see the main difficulty, which is if we didn’t complain and/or explain on this site we would be out of things to talk about.

Hope yours ship soon, if not already in transit. Again, excellent play getting those Black Label 1 of 250 versions and capitalizing on a quick flip!

Cali, Thanks for the heads up. My one white core shipped out yesterday. I’ve already sold those black core ones. I purchased them for $99.99 each and sold them for $200 each. It was a quick $500 profit minus fees. As soon as I saw that it was 1 of 250, I knew those (black core) would be a very easy Sell and it was. I’m happy you took advantage of the offering. Yours (white core) are now selling for $200. So you have an upside of $200 already for the two you purchased. Your brother is going to be… Read more »

FH gone in a blip at the 7:30 AM EDT fire sale.

East Coast Guru

I was thinking about this flowing hair medal. Too bad it couldn’t have been done as a business strike vs the porgan unc. strikes we have become accustomed to. Maybe next year if or when they do the 2025 version.

Antonio

They could do a draped bust version.

Kaiser Wilhelm

East Coast Guru,

By the way the Porgan strikes are made are you referring to Burnished Uncirculated?

East Coast Guru

Yes Kaiser. I don’t really care for that finish. The ATB’s had that finish too. It’s got a blah factor that is uninteresting to me.

kia99

May I agree and speculate at the same time? The circulating business strike is somewhat variable as the die is used and I suspect the MS70 club would find most of the strikes to be inadequate, then reject and return them. The laser frosted “uncirculated” finish masks minor imperfections on the burnished planchets and gives a nice uniform finish. But it is, as you say, bland. Imperfections add character to coins and people.

Major D

kia99 and East Coast Guru, what someone may call bland I may call pure. I’m a big fan of the Burnished Uncirculated finish, but as Kaiser likes to say, “to each their own”.

Major D

In doing the math, if the FHS sell-out contained all 75,000 (the mintage limit) the odds of a “230” privy are about 1 in 48. And if it contained around 40,000 (as Rich and others speculated) and all of the “230” privy were included up front, then the odds become about 1 in 22. Those are really good odds. I’d say one (or more) of us commenting here (and on the last article) may be a lucky winner. Whoever it is, please let us all know. It looks like the Mint has sent them out in record time, so we’ll… Read more »

Major D, glad to see you back in this neck of the woods. Wouldn’t the privy marked coins on the entire mintage of 75,000 equate to 1 privy marked medal for every 41.8/42 vs 1 in 48? I’m guessing you just made a simple typo, omitting or missing the 1 and decimal point? So the odds are slightly better, that 1 or more readers of Coin News will receive a privy “230” silver medal? If the Mint only produced 40,000, it would be interesting to know, if they produced all 1,794 privy medals, or a percentage based on 40,000/75,000, equating… Read more »

Major D

CaliSkier, yes, right you are! 1,794/75,000=0.02392:::::: Inverse=41.806 which rounds to 42. So, 1 in 42. Guess it must have been a dyslectic moment taking 41.8 and making 48 out of it. Always good to have your second set of eyes on the calculator. There’s no telling when it comes to the Mint as to how it gets dispersed. My guess is that all of the privy and signed coas were done up front and part of the initial release.

Rich

CaliSkier, have you seen this posting from Tony Stubblefield earlier today, as it may shed some light on the questions you posed? I contacted the mint and asked them about the advance release coins, and if that happened the 1794 coins with the privy marks were already gone to the dealers: here is their reply : Dear Tony Stubblefield, This letter is in response to your recent correspondence to the United States Mint. Unfortunately, we are unable to speak on products advertised on other websites other than the United States Mint. However, we can assure you that the 230th Anniversary… Read more »

Rich

The odds of receiving a 230-privy of 1 in 22 (based on 40,000 medals) is about twice as good as the odds of 1 in 42 (based on 75,000 medals) [please note the correction]. And yes, one or more of us commenters here will likely be one of the lucky ones.

Thanks. Correction noted and appreciated.

By the way, all the artist images I have found on line for the gold flowing hair show the coin as a matte or burnished proof. No mirror on the coin. Any info out there on the type of proof this will be?

CaliSkier

East Coast Guru, I’ve only managed to see similar renderings of more of a burnished proof type finish. More or less a matte/burnished field with a slightly shiny burnished relief on the actual device/design. Kind of a matte/burnished reverse proof type finish if you will. See this sites(below) renderings for an idea of how I interpret current imagages I’ve seen. These will be way too pricey for my very limited budget, however I think they would look awesome as rendered in the link below vs a traditional proof finish with mirrored fields and frosted devices. Either way, I think those… Read more »

East Coast, I’m going with a launch day price of $3,670 based on the current “pricing range table”. That would be a spot price of in the range of $2,650-$2,699.99. I’m slightly puzzled by your post? If gold is at $2,800 spot on launch day, the current table would place the price at $3,820 vs your estimate of $3,540. My thoughts are, since the 2024 Flowing Hair Silver Medal is priced the same($104) as the 2024 Liberty and Britannia Silver Medal, that the 2024 Flowing Hair Gold Coin will follow suit, as having the same price as a 2024 Liberty… Read more »

Sounds about right, KC&S. The overall bullish sentiment in Gold should yield $3,000 gold by year’s end. With gold at $2,700 now, mid-October, and at $3,000 by end-December, a price average of $2,800-2,850 over the 5-day period of Nov. 6 – Nov. 8 and Nov. 11 – Nov. 12 is quite possible for setting the price of the Flowing Hair Gold Coin on Nov. 13th for launch on the 14th.

Spot AU this morning is: $2,727.., another 3% up = $2,808

Which irks me to no end, as every time I go to buy into a high dollar USM AU release, damn if the gold price doesn’t run up, every frigg’n time!

Odd IMO, that the marketing department hasn’t taken the bull by the horns and made this happen.

Rick, you are absolutely right. It was the chance of winning a golden ticket to flip and make a few easy thousand $. It was a pure gamble.

So is what I am reading correct? That instead of 75K the silver medal may have a mintage of 40K?

You are correct NoCoonCollector, you read that correctly. The 2024 Flowing Hair Silver Medal’s may indeed end up or have a final mintage of 40,000+-. Although the maximum mintage was listed at 75,000, nothing stipulates the US Mint has to or is required to produce the entire maximum mintage. The sales report coming out on Tuesday will give a better indication of what actual and potential future sales may be.

Cali, lol, you did another typo on his name above. NoCoinCollector instead of NcCoinCollector! Hey, I knew immediately that was a typo. You are NOT the kind of person that would talk/text/type something like that especially on this website. I absolutely accept your apology as well and I’m sure you’re quite mortified about it as I would have been had I done that. Another person that posts here texted me privately and asked me what I thot about it and I simply said it was an accident. The o and i are right next to each other. Fat Fingers strike… Read more »

LOL AKBob, Ay Carramba! I really need to upgrade my old outdated phone/computer, to a new fangled modern one with a much larger screen. When I read your comment in regards to Nc vs No, I couldn’t help but LOL! Ironically, since NcCoinCollectors first post here on CoinNews I thought or my eyes had registered NoCoinCollector, which did strike me as a bit odd? As, if you’re not a coin collector, did he or she possibly get here by mistake? LOL Then I just dismissed and thought, perhaps NcCoin is a “flipper”, hoarder, speculator or investor vs collector and carried… Read more »

Cali,

I thinks you stepped on your Dik brah.

Hmm… So, here appears to be a case of buy the coin, the holder or the provenance??? A 1909 S/S S/ Horizontal S RD CAC(GRN), in an old PCGS Regency Holder, from the previous “Stewart Blay” collection. Based on the previous appearance on GC, this was one of Stewart’s duplicates? I tried diligently to track, however besides it’s previous appearance(Nov 19, 2023 Item ID 1455943 not CAC’d, yet) in a GC auction, I was unable to definitively locate. Just means it would take some serious research by someone with more knowledge or resources. PCGS places a value of $1,400-$1,550 in… Read more »

“So, here appears to be a case of buy the coin, the holder or the provenance???” Yes x 3 it looks like! It’s definitely the same coin before CAC looked at it. Nice coin, but not for me at the moment(because I blew my money on all those “V” coins LOL!) The seller bought it last November for $4489 so he’s got some work to do by tomorrow?! Coin flipping is fairly common at the auction houses. I’ve seen a few of my coins sold in marketplace prior to my purchase, and I’ve seen a couple of my coins languishing… Read more »

Rick, thanks for providing the sellers price paid last November and agree, he has some work to do regarding current bid or final hammer price in 10 hours. I know you’re on business in Orlando with other priorities and no access for a few weeks to the Kenned D, however if at all possible, it would behoove you to e-mail GC sooner, rather than later if at all possible. Again, good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor! PS Looks like others also found that 1900 O Morgan above to be under graded as well! “You and… Read more »

FHS – $40.00 dollar silver coin……$64 dollar box and packaging.

She is beautiful!

Rick

And this is cause for celebration on another level also Tony! Why? You opened the sealed mint packaging bro! And I completely understand why you had to open it. My FHS is sitting in my office and won’t be opened until I get home in a month! So stay tuned(I could have my wife open it? But…)… I bought the Greatest Generation proof set and sent it in for a first strike label and instructed them to encapsulate the Ventris signed COA… Until they informed me that it was not signed, boohoo.. And to top that off two of the… Read more »

Rick – LMBO!!! You nailed it bud – I absolutely COULD NOT leave it sealed.

I never open anything but I sure did that one sir!

AKBob

Tony@GA, Rick, You guys are killing me! I never open mine either. I ALWAYS wait so I can send it in for grading because I love PCGS First Strike Labels! They are a lot more attractive plus they add value to the grade. I prefer PCGS over NGC because PCGS coins seem to garner a little more money, they are worth more than an NGC graded coin and sells faster too. There are thousands of collectors that prefer NGC or ANACS. Each to their own. Anyways, I’m having a very hard time deciding whether I will open mine or send… Read more »

How about an actual silver privy coin, this one’s a dollar proof coin from 2022 with a mintage of only 19,687. An NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo First Release just sold for $83 free shipping. Sold for less than the Mint’s original release price of $85. And this one’s a PF70.

All I can conclude is that it deals with history of a different kind, that the numismatic community largely doesn’t care for.

AKBob

Major D, I was with you till your last sentence! I don’t think that’s a fair statement/comment/opinion to put us into! Number one, I thot we weren’t supposed to talk about or insinuate politics, woke crap, etc. on this website. Secondly, you have no idea what I think nor believe and You My Friend, couldn’t be further from the truth in saying what you said directed at myself and everyone on here and everyone that collects coins. I just don’t know what to say without going on a rant about the frickin Woke, Progressive, Liberal A Holes out there but… Read more »

What commemorative has the mint produced that has done well in the secondary market? I can’t think of one either. 19687 privy’s is a lot any way you slice it. I haven’t bought a commemorative mint coin in years. It will stay that way with these lame super heroes coming out too.

Major D

East Coast Guru, just curious- as a collector what is it about the commemoratives that you don’t like? For this year’s offerings it’s mostly the price for me. If you follow commemoratives, you’ll know that there have been many that sell for more than the Mint’s original price- some much higher than others. The 2001 Buffalo and 1995/96 Olympic Unc quickly come to mind. More recently, the 2018 WWI Marine medal set, 2019 Apollo, and 2022 Purple Heart to name a few. I’m with you regarding the upcoming superheroes.

DaveSWFL

Guru,
I have fond memories of the greatly anticipated release of the Baseball Hall of Fame Commemoratives. They were very popular, sold out quickly, and hit the secondary market with very nice premiums. I ordered and flipped a ton of this issue and kept a good supply for myself as well.

East Coast Guru

Dave, Major, thank you for the reminders on some of the commemorative coins. I have the WWI Marine and the Apollo 5oz. Bought both in the secondary market. For roughly the original mint’s price. But as a long term store of value, for the most part, the commemoratives just don’t do well. I like some of the early commemoratives. I am focusing on Hawaii and a Hudson next. But as you know those were circulated so high quality coins are tough to find.

Major D

AKBob, I did say “largely” as in the numismatic community largely doesn’t care for. And “community” means all of us, not singly you or anyone else out in particular. It’s just a simple fact borne out by the marketplace, that this coin isn’t valued very much. So, why is that? There have been complaints on this forum that the FHS is just a medal, and not a coin. Here we have an actual coin with low mintage (the lowest mintage silver proof dollar in the history of modern commemoratives), and the PF70s are selling for less than the original Mint… Read more »

Major D, I sense that you feel that the coin market is discriminating against African American coins. I can assure you that it is not. Especially the mint. The truth is, most African Americans are not into rare coins. Coins are just not their cup of tea and it is their preference to choose freely as they do. I have one African American friend that says “Nay on coins, I’m into ball cards and jerseys. “He prefers the rookie cards of Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Reggie Jackson, Michael Jordan, and Wilt Chamberlin. These are multi-million-dollar cards. Yet, Mickey Mantle, Joe… Read more »

E 1,

Thanks for a calm, reasoned response regarding Black folks and coins aimed at African-Americans. Most Black folks I know who are into PM’s seem more interested in stacking bars or other formats, rather than coins. Not good, not bad; just is. As Kaiser W. and AKBob often put it, “to each his (or her) own”. I was heartened at my last trip to the LCS, seeing several women in the store, buying (or at least looking at) coins. But yes, most of the coin-buying types are 40+ y/o white guys.

Rick

Ditto

Major D

Sam-I-Am and E 1, I appreciate your thoughtful responses. Yes indeed, “to each his (or her) own”.

Major D

E 1, you miss the point I was making. There shouldn’t be black coins anymore than there should be white coins. Just coins. But, borne out by numbers sold, the so-called “African American” coins are the lowest selling. They are not minted just for black people. However, the numismatic community is largely white and it largely does not buy them. Now, this is not an argument for or against any discrimination. It is merely stating a truth.

Major D, Maybe the mint made a huge marketing mistake by creating collector coins that celebrate and commemorate African Americans. But, I don’t think so. Maybe we need a private promoter to shed some light on these overlooked rarities. Someone that can turn that pain into prosperity. Someone who can truly take it to heart and run with it. For example, Rick Tomoskas and his book on “Proof Cameo Franklin Half Dollars.” Bill Fivaz’s “Cherry Pickers Guide.” Jeff Garret’s book “100 Greatest Modern US Coins.” Every one of these authors shared one thing in common – they wanted to shed… Read more »

E 1, one of my favorite Modern Commemoratives is the 1997-W $5 Jackie Robinson Uncirculated Gold Coin, partly because of it’s relatively low mintage at the time. The authorized mintage limit was 100,000 for the $5 Gold coins. The Proof $5 Gold final mintage = 24,072 and the Uncirculated $5 Gold final mintage = 5,174. Supposedly, due to the relatively disappointing sales results, an attempt was made to extend the sales offering period, but the proposal was rejected. The coins had been available for sale by the Mint from August 16, 1997 to August 16, 1998.

E 1

Rich,

Someone should write a book to hi-lite some of those rarities. It is disappointing that his card gets more love than his coin. But, the card is an actual artifact of antiquity and the coin is a commemoration after the fact. That may have something to do with it. Also, Olympic commemorative coins have never done well in the past either. So, buyers are fickle. When I come up with something that everyone on the planet wants, I will let you know.

Cheers

Major D

E 1, you are right about those 1995/96 Centennial Olympic coins not doing well- I think because there were so many of them (2,488,127 total coins). There were so many combinations of sets that it was complicated to know what was up. The Mint used to provide a link in its Historical Coin Sales Figures to a spreadsheet (236 lines x 42 columns) which tallied it all. Unfortunately, I see that the spreadsheet is no longer available but I’m glad to have downloaded it when it was.

Major D

E 1, again thanks for a thoughtful response. I don’t besmirch anyone for choosing not to buy any one coin or another. Some years ago, when my daughter was young and played with Barbies, she had white Barbies. Yet there were black Barbies available that we did not buy. So, I understand that people choose based on what reflects their identity and culture. But if I were a collector of Barbies, those early black ones are scarcer in the market and more valuable as a result- which would make me want to acquire. I guess what throws me off is… Read more »

Major D, Yes, just another fascinating dimension of marketing as it relates to the psychology and sociology of collecting. As for the book idea. It could be a tremendous opportunity for fame, notoriety, and wealth. There are a number of well-known numismatic writers on this blog and you have access to a number of publishers through CDN. I never put my copyright stamp on anything related to this subject. So, it’s all yours. You write well and you are good with numbers. If you are good with photography, then you may want to run with it. Every book starts with… Read more »

Just received my FH silver medal. In a bag. No cardboard protective box. Of all the silver medals that the mint has made, this is one of them. It’s a shoulder shrug medal. Glad I bought one as an original replica but this will not have any legs just like all the other medals the mint produces. The privy may have some legs, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy it. Whoever bought a 70 privy out there for $5k+ early release good luck getting a return on your purchase. Perhaps if it was a business strike… Read more »

Good luck getting Congress to pass a bill for a coin that doesn’t have “E Pluribus Unum” & “In God we Trust” on it. Recall the uproar over the original Sacagewa dollar. Consider the existing laws that would have to be changed to allow a faithful minting of the original Flowing Hair dollar. Consider it’s a fraction of the mintage of current Morgan and Peace dollars. Consider that the inverse and reverse are not nearly as busy as current offerings (initials, mottos etc.) If you don’t like it, you don’t like it but don’t disparage the mint.

East Coast Guru

Who said anything about removing In God We Trust or E Pluribus Unum. I was talking about a business strike or finish on the medal. I like the fact that there are no mint marks or initials. Said that long ago. This medal in its current form is to sterile for me. However, if you think I was disparaging the mint, you ain’t seen nothing yet. But I will hold back as this is a family type blog.

NcCoinCollector,

The way it seems, those silver counterparts to gold coins will always be medals.

Major D,

Survey says, a lot of people here are 0 and 1 and done. Seems to be a pattern.

Kaiser Wilhelm

East Coast Guru,

“Of all the silver medals that the mint has made, this is one of them.”

That gets the Kaiser Prize for one of the most clever comments ever on here!

Sam-I-am

All,

Looking at metal values lately, what I find almost frightening is the melt value of the modern 1 cent 97.5% Zinc coin. Inflation has made this over 8/10ths of a cent in metal value alone. Forget the cost the Mint incurs to manufacture all the dang things (over 3 cents each). What’s next, plastic pennies?

Kaiser Wilhelm

Sam-I-Am,

Plastic pennies…the ultimate pollutant. Everyone would throw them away.

Kaiser Wilhelm

If Precious Metal Values sustain this rate of climb upcoming Gold and Silver coins from the Mint (or anywhere else) will likely be priced up there with Unobtainium!

Major D said, in response to Tony@GA’s comment: “I’m not aware of a signed GGS as being a thing. I never heard of it. Did I miss something?” The Greatest Generation Sets were seeded with the signature of VCG. “The Honorable Ventris C. Gibson, Director of the Mint, signed 250 Certificates of Authenticity (COAs) for the 2024 Greatest Generation Three-Coin Proof Set (24CG). These personally signed COAs will be randomly inserted into unmarked sets and will be fulfilled when shipping begins.” (2/22/24 USM Press Release)

Well Rick, it appears that unless there is some last second bidding, the seller of that “1909 S/S S/ Horizontal S RD CAC(GRN), in an old PCGS Regency Holder, from the previous “Stewart Blay” collection” is poised to take a small loss this evening? Still at $4,200/$4,725 w/buyers fee. 20 minutes to go.

CaliSkier

Bidder 20 jumped in last second and sniped it at $5,750/$6,468.75 w/buyers fee! Wow! Had been at $4,800
prior to that. Bet that seller is pretty happy about that flip.

Kaiser Wilhelm

CaliSkier,

The seller is happy as are the auctioneer and the buyer. On the other hand, all those who have been restricted to watching these lofty transactions from the sidelines aren’t all that thrilled. C’est la vie.

CaliSkier

Now here’s a pricey one! “1911-D Indian Gold Quarter Eagle Strong D PCGS MS-65 (CAC Green)”. Pretty awesome specimen with 3 hr left and currently at $74,500/81,950 w/buyers fees. 39 bids amongst 11 bidders.
