The key takeaway: Quote: these things will never go for $61 again. Why set yourself up for a disappointing sales experience by not waiting? From the get go these dimes look to be $30-$35 each in raw OGP and they're bound to go up even higher after the impending sellout. These sets are easy problem-free winners in the secondary market. By comparison the '96W special clad dime has 1.4M and that's a $15 coin.

When is the cut off date for the ER designations they have always carried a much higher premium June 4th 2015 ? Quote: Once sellout happens these things will never go for $61 again.  The secondary market sets the values . Learn about NGC's special label and pedigree for these coins. Special submission instructions must be followed. http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewart...of-Dimes-Set[/quote] Mintage 75K should be low 70 pops on the dimes $$$ !

The NGC cutoff date for ER designation is Wednesday, June 3, 2015. I don't really understand the premium for ER designation, but I sent two sets in unopened. And, I see even the bullion silver eagles graded as part of a larger set carry a significant premium at my LCS.

How much was that to grade? I suspect close to $200 for 2 sets?

Grading, label, and return OGP comes to about $22 per coin. No bad, unless everything is 67/68.

If I was going to send mine in, I'd definitely open the box to see which ones are the best. I received five sets and would have been very disappointed with what I received back on two of the dollars and two of the reverse proofs. The only thing you're giving up by opening the boxes the MOD Special Set designation on the dollar. That's not even worth anything in my opinion, but grade differences do impact value.

Looking forward to my two on Monday evening. Depending on their condition (and continued U.S. Mint availability), I might crack off another order for one or two more... those dimes are just going to be awesome.

As mentioned earlier in this thread the value of a product is in no way related to your opinion...it is totally based on fact and the facts say that the label (set) does matter when it comes to resale value. Same exact coin...really...the same coin, same grade, same company Belief: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2006-W-1-Ea...em1c516a3de3Fact: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2006-W-BURN...em20f9b3ab24

You crack me up, Fox.  The price difference between those two ASEs is just CRAZY.  I gotta say that all this talk of poor quality has me a little concerned about the sets I'm gonna get in August. I'm still hopeful, though.

I did say it was my opinion that it was not worth anything. If the best experts in the world can't look at the coins and tell a difference, then the perceived value added by the secondary market packaging is false in my opinion. Think about it. The whole thing doesn't even make sense. On the one hand they're saying that the 20th anniversary coin in your example is special because it came in different packaging. On the other hand, they take it out of that different packaging. They get rid of the only thing that somewhat makes it different! So some people will pay more for a difference that can't be seen. I prefer to pay more for a difference that can be seen.

When a coin can be easily swapped out with another of the same version, as a collector who wants the original and know 100% it wasn't swapped out with another coin, these labels make sense.
The MOD set had the proof silver dollars which can be bought seperatly. A collector of sets would pay more to make sure the silver dollar came from the 3-coin set instead of the proof coin. Seeing and knowing is different,

I can understand it being desirable if it shows real provenance, like from a shipwreck, horde or special collection because real history is involved. It's kink of neat to know the actual travels of a particular coin. However, that's not what we're talking about here. The only real difference we're talking about here is that someone at the mint put the coin in this box versus that one and the 3rd party graders take the packaging away anyway.

I agree. Also, it's my opinion that you're just paying for TPG plastic anyway by having these graded. I'm already overpaying for cardboard from the U.S. Mint, why would I want to pay more for plastic from a TPG when all I'm really interested is the coins themselves? (I realize many others do not share this opinion.) Quote: ...the 3rd party graders take the packaging away anyway. The TPGs will send it back if you pay for it to be sent back.
