The good thing is US Mint only have one or two "hot coin" per year, otherwise it will be worst than RCM..... Btw, have anyone preselling their coin? Early hype/demand may command some premium..... ;) |

I got my two graded set PCGS PF70 from Silvertowne a while back.... now waiting for the two from Goldmart (they don't have the RCM Wood Bison coin that I've ordered so the processing was delayed).... |

I finally received confirmation that my order is shipping! About time, I almost forgot what these coins look like. I hope they are worth the wait.

I wonder if I am being too picky?
I got my coins today. Five sets packed in a box with one small piece of "padding on one end. Two of the boxes were slightly damaged from the outside box getting its corners dinged.
I opened one set and immediately notice a green fleck of something on the Enhanced's capsule. It turned out to be inside the capsule. The same thing happened with the second one I opened. When I put them under my microscope I see all sorts of little flecks, a very tiny red "thread" etc.
I can also see very small scratches (under the scope) on the ribbon in the Eagle's beak - this is in addition to where it looks like scuff marks - but I think these are remnants of whatever process they used to make the enhanced look. I do not know if this would keep them from being MS70s or not b/c they do look like scuffing and resemble surface damage.
When I tilt one of the enhanced pieces, I see a 1 cm X .5 cm "splotch" on the front of one near the rim. Another one has the same thing, except it takes up most of the right side of the OBV. I have not checked the others yet.
So am I being picky? Or is this typical? Last year after the mint gave me trouble for the second year in a row, and I called them and told them I was tired of it, I got some incredible 2012 sets. But I also did not put them under the microscope - that I remember. I cannot get to the safety deposit for a little while to get them and then check them out.

I hope to get my graded PF70 set from Goldmart sometime next week. Still no words of my raw sets from USMint. And just like jack jeckel posted here ( https://goccf.com/t/154827&whichpage=3#1430984): "2 units backordered. Expected to ship on 07/19/2013." I notice on the USMint site that they are revamping their shopping cart.... so may be that caused all these 'date-jumping' things.... |

I'm still waiting for Goldmart to replace the PCGS70 Reverse Proof coin they sent me as part of the set. The reverse proof had a very noticeable scratch in the shield on the reverse. A Perfect 70 should not have that. They told me to send it back for exchange and they signed for it last Thursday. I hope this works out. I spoke with someone at the start but there is nothing written down. I supposed to get a call back tomorrow.

I have a set of graded 69 ASE's but I'm starting to regret not spending the extra and going for the 70's. Would it be fair to say that the 70's will appreciate more in value in the future than the 69's? |
