Fine Silver Coin With ANA Privy Mark

Are the prices Tailsman Coins advertises actually what you pay? It seems bizarre that they are selling on such dramatic discounts.

so been stalking here and building a database.

so far, as an example- pf 69 slabbed ANA chicago privy marked 2015 silver maples are steadily dropping on ebay.

The upper range was low to mid 80s, then started dropping to high to low 60s, now low 70s to high 60s.

last year, the 2015 ANA privy silver maple did the same thing (pf 69), e_coins was still selling them on ebay well into February of 2015.

I dont have enough data on the pf70s but it also as time goes on, is sliding in price, tho as one would expect, are going for a higher price than a 69. However,, a pf70 will not be enough to keep the prices from sliding.

I continue to stalk until it gets into the sweet spot I want to pay.

this has been a very time consuming but exciting and fun past time. I get a real joy out of tracking coin prices and watching them drop, tho a FEW do climb but that is a rare thing. In fact its many times the coins that I DONT want that rise lol.. but thats ok for my collecting dollars.

I will report in a few months time with more data on this coin and how its coming along.

I believe if you order 5000 bullion maple leafs you can have your own privy mark, it's another RCM marketing ploy, even 2000 units are huge in a bad market, look at the last few gold superman coins.

Talisman is one of these companies that if a coin is hot, they would not be discounting

I think john100 has a excellent point.. if they are discounting like that, I gotta say, everytime I see dealers slash like that, the coin has been a dud and they want to liquidate....

@Silveroid

I hear you on having "limited" items laying around I dont need.

When I first entered the hobby years ago, I would be so excited and in a rush to buy these type coins, such as with a privy mark.

Then I started to pay attention and I was like "hmmmm, whats up here, prices on many of these are dropping...".

I mean the rate at which this recent 2015 silver maple leaf with the Chicago ANA privy mark has dropped in price is out of this world.

On top of this all, they had a LOWER mintage with this coin and it STILL is bombing. Which again proves my point, a rule in coin collecting is mintage numbers mean nothing if the demand is there. You could do 100 coins and if there is no demand, prices will slide.

Anyways, the upside out of all of this is I will be able to get a ANA privy Chicago coin at the price I want and I do want this coin since I am from the Chicago area.

A question is there any worry these reverse proof privy mark maples, even slabbed ones, will develop the dreaded milk spots? I'm not sure if they are processed like ordinary bullion? I like the reverse proof, but spots deter me! Does slabbing even deter this? I do like these coins, however I want info before diving in!
