*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***

I'm having a dickens of a time finding a 2011-(W) ASE, Mercanti-signed, First Strike, PCGS MS-70. Finding plenty of 2011-W, but just cannot seem top locate the above.

Anyone have any suggestions as to where to look and a fair price to pay?

On ebay they have MS-69 ones, but no MS-70 ones. Email the sellers of the 69s and see if they have any 70s or where to locate one?

Why in the dickens would you want such a narmily-titled slab?

Sorry SteveCaruso, not up on the latest lingo. What exactly is a "narmily-titled slab?"

Sorry, I honestly admit I was being a bit snarky there, bordering on impolite. :-)

From TV Tropes: "Narm is a moment that is supposed to be serious, but due to either over-sappiness, poor execution, excessive Melodrama, or the sheer absurdity of the situation, the drama is lost to the point of surpassing "cheesy" and becoming unintentionally funny."

Your wished upon choice of slab designations for a bullion coin (and don't get me wrong, I very seriously collect ASEs) seemed a bit over the top.

In my humble opinion -- for what it's worth -- signatures are for books or photographs where the named individual had something to do with the manufacture or inspiration of the piece in question, First Strike is a designation that is illegitimate, baseless and grossly insults the hobby, and that there is nearly no such thing as a true MS-70 coin (and that too many slabs out there bear that mark as it is).

All three at once seems, to me, excessive.

But then again, I admit that not everyone shares my views and I truly mean no offense. :-)

Well, if you don't care about the signature, you can find what you want over at APMEX.
