Why in the world. Sad times we are living, he could have bought a regular label slab for like $30. It's the same coin. He could have donated $5,000 to starving children instead of giving it away to ripoff coin dealers. What do you need the label for?. This is embarrassing to coin collectors. People will think we're dumb for playing the label slab game. I thought coin Collectors were smart people, I guess not. This is beyound stupid. It's like saying I'll exchange you your 1 dollar bill for 100 dollars. What, why?. This is as embarrassing to the hobby as mike mezack is.

I wonder is PCGS has any liability in all this. They slabbed the coins and put all the fancy labels on them. Now it appears they are now what they represented when they slabbed them. I can see a class action law suit coming at some point on this.

All that PCGS guarantees is that the coin is genuine and the grade is correct

Ha, I bet now the people who bought the 2015 P slabs will want to return it, not because they think the coin might not be from the P mint. They don't really care if it's accurate. They will want the new graded ones with the revised 79,500 number, how do you know it's really from Philadelphia? TPGs response "because we say so" lol. Oh ok.

It seems now the whole premise of the 2015 Philadelphia minted ASE is now defunct. If you have one slabbed already, it's origin can never be proven. So what most seasoned collectors considered just bullion and nothing special is now truly just bullion and nothing special. So many people fell for all the hype, "Rarest ASE in history and you have to have it at this ridiculous price.".

So now we sit and wait for the fecal matter to hit the air movement device. I don't know if purchasers of this coin will have any type of recourse but I'm sure many will try.

P.T.Barnum called this one.

The fact is that it hasn't really affected sales. Yesterday two MS69's sold for $535 and $479 and an MS70 sold 3 days ago for $5515

I guess the buyers are just declaring the facts as "Fake News"...much easier to get through life that way

In their mind it is valuable and they will pay top dollar for it. Definitely not worth losing any sleep over.

HSN is selling 2017 sets slabbed as W, P, and S. I assume these fall into the same category as the 2015?

Pay for the slab/label...not the coin!
