Certainly not worth the money — and not accepted as part of any U.S. set.

These remind me of the coins Daniel Carr makes - like the 1963-D Kennedy half dollars. They aren't part of the Kennedy set but they are a fun addition if you're so inclined. |

A fool and his money..... or rather, 3500 fools and their money are soon parted. And NGC graded these?  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I've heard about the Fiji fractional ASE design. It's an interesting idea. Not my bag either, I'm just doing ASEs. But would be something the US Mint could consider, they do it with the other metals they make bullion and collector coins with. I'd see it only as collectors coins, not bullion. I hadn't seen the 2022 Morgan and Peace. Someone mentioned DC already, I'd be way more interested in an overstrike version than from Fiji mint. Carr has some a lot of cool stuff. To me the most noteworthy are the 2009 ASE proofs. Edited by Gilly

I sometimes watch that coin channel just to get a laugh out of what that snake oil salesman pitches. Everything is way over valued! I like when he tries to compare mintages and the MS or Proof 70 factor to actual Morgan or Peace dollars. Often quoting 6 figure prices and trying to compare his modern junk to finest know examples of genuine classic coins. That guy is a joke! |

It's just marketing gimmick. These will never show up with a Red Book listing so serious collectors can ignore them. |

There was a thread on the 2022 reverse proof Morgan/Peace sets from Fiji mint/HSN, seems to be gone now.
The Fiji silver eagles aren't cheap, and they may be high quality, but they're still knockoff coins IMO. If they were $80 per coin I might consider it, but probably not.

DATA, I apologize, I forgot Your Name. I was talking about the Morgan and Peace Reverse Proof Silver Dollars. That 6 Coin set, 4 Morgans and 2 Peace Coins He was selling that Night at $1,799.00, He stated he wanted to keep it Below $300.00 Per coin. I saw the U S Mint was Supposed to, ( like most others ) Make a 2022 Reverse Proof , 6 coin Set . Mike M is Cashing in on the Idea that there is a " Void " Created by the U S Mint, by NOT following through and making the 2022 sets.Therefore He feels He Carried the Torch and Ran with THESE 3500 Sets..... Imagine what He paid the AW Estate for the Rights to use the Obverse of the American Silver Eagle !!!!!...  Another Idea, I too saw Mike M's Fractional Coins. I think he has a Wonderful Idea, Fractional Silver Eagles, Just like the AGE's..... Only Struck at the U S Mint Only,!!! I Love the Idea.... Imagine the FIRST Year Struck Mintage's and Rarity Already......  PS, I believe Every Single Coin Collector should SEE these Coin Snake oil Shows, Educational....  Edited by Morgans Dad

I do not think they are actually "made in Fiji". Fiji does not have an official government mint (their circulating coins are usually made in Britain, Australia, South Africa or Canada), nor are there any private mints actually in Fiji that I am aware of. They were probably made in China.
I would have no problem with Fiji making NCLT for sale to foreign collectors - these tiny Pacific nations are typically near bankruptcy and need all the help they can get. Unfortunately, I highly doubt the government and people of Fiji will get even a fraction of a percent from the profits made from the sale of these "coins". I also highly doubt they are actually legal tender coins, or that anyone in Fiji is aware of their existence.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Sap, Thank You for Your Input, I Agree, Your Correct on a Few things. I do Not believe the coins are Legal Tender, I also believe your correct about No FIJI mint, I think they reached out to A Foreign mint Too  ... The Fact the " Expert " Stated the U S Mint was Suppose to make This Set in 2022, IMO, This set is a Novelty, a Targeted Shot @ Filling the created Void, The U S Mint promised. As far as the Coins being brought to collectors, Great Idea, I think All Collectors Should See and Know Exactly what these Are, Educational Wise. These Are Not United States Mint Issued, " Coins "...The American Silver Eagle Series is an Awesome Designed Master Piece .... If people want to Include these in their Collections They Will.... PS, I could See the Collectors that Would Appreciate and Seek, these Newer Foreign Minted Pieces....  |
