Got my grades in for the 2 medals I submitted during the WFOM, one came back 69 and one came back 70. I'll let you all guess for fun and not spoil it (you can look it up on PCGS for the answer). No shipment notice yet, hopefully by Friday.
Yup, the case is huge for one coin. I assume intentional because they'll use this case size for upcoming multiple coin sets? This case doesn't look exactly the same as the hinged case for the Negro league offered earlier in the year.
I am very curious also if that being off center affected the grade. Both looked good in person, that said, them being in capsules don't help when the capsules can have specs of dust on them that can fool you in person.
After watching this video (right up to the part where he started hawking coffee) I pulled mine back out to look for the thinning and off-centered-ness. I guess I got lucky with mine. I do not see the issues that the Youtuber pointed out on mine.
I thought mine was OK. It looks centered. But after watching the above video I rechecked mine. The capsule will not fully close. I carefully took it out. The rim thickness is not the same all the way around. The rim is slightly thicker at about 4 pm holding it with horse facing me, thick enough so the capsule won't fit tight. I wonder if this is because the planchets were sent to the mint this way or it happened during striking. I'm disappointed with the mint's quality control sometimes. I won't go through the hassle of sending it back. Otherwise the coin has no flaws. I assume others have complained and the mint is aware of this.
This is an Outstanding Artistic Design , It actually seems to Jump out at the Holder. I appreciate Great themes, But, According to the U S Mint's web site, They say about the Wild American Mustang Horse Bucking, and says, " evoking the throwing off of the yoke of British rule during the American Revolution. " Seems themes for 225 + years , Gone. Now, New Non Traditional Themes ..
I really do not have that thought seeing this coins Obverse...... It is Spectacular in Design !!!!!
I am glad I finally found a thread of people interested in this coin. Actually, it's a medal technically. I also found that the US mint is still selling them, though they sold out on the first day. What that means is they couldn't handle all the orders, and created a panic. Well, relax. They are still available, but not forever, because they set a production limit of 75,000- with that in mind, as of a few days ago10/23/2022 there have been only 57,326 sold.
It is highly unusual for the mint to put a production limit on medals, because they don't want to compete with their other commemorative mint products. Medals are not real coins, after all, but neither are American Silver Eagles. Collectible bullion, without a denomination, but who cares. It is a very interesting medal (or token) that actually has a physical presence (unlike these internet non-fungible tokens) and real silver. The limit on production is appealing and makes these rare by coinage standards.
