Cali_Nick Valued Member United States 307 Posts	Posted 01/11/2016 8:49 pm Why are these selling so much higher than face value? How much did they cost in 1999? http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...ag+&_sacat=0 Report this Post to the Staff

BuckeyeCoinGuy Pillar of the Community United States 711 Posts	Posted 01/11/2016 10:12 pm What is the point of making a bag for the whole lot of 25 coins? Makes no sense. Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12817 Posts	Posted 01/12/2016 01:35 am I'm sure there are plenty of pristine MS-70's in those bags after banging around in there for 16-17 years. Or maybe a Cheerios dollar. Report this Post to the Staff
Cali_Nick Valued Member United States 307 Posts	Posted 01/12/2016 01:51 am Is there a certain type that people search for in un-circulated condition perhaps? Can you send the whole bag to NGC to get graded? Edited by Cali_Nick 01/12/2016 01:52 am Report this Post to the Staff
Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1601 Posts	Posted 01/12/2016 07:03 am I think it's just the novelty of the thinng. These coins were never meant for circulation and putting 25 of them in a "mint bag" is just a gimmick. Collector's item. If you're into small dollars, you need at least one of these.

Anthony dollars are also available in bags of 25 for $35.50 and bags of 1,000 for $1,095 while quantities last. There are no household limits for the SBA Uncirculated Set or SBA bags. http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/?ac...elease&ID=98 $35.50 + $3.95 shipping and handling Grand total = $39.45 Report this Post to the Staff

That is correct, the 1999-P and 1999-D were most certainly meant for circulation to fill demand before the Sacagawea would be released the next year.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/13/2016 09:34 am The 1999 SBA's were made for circulation. In 1999 the drawdown rate for the SBA's reached the point where the Treasury was going to run out before the end of the year. Under the law the Sac dollar could not be issued until 2000. So they had to strike 1999 SBA's to fill the gap. They only needed about 3 or 4 months worth of drawdown or about 20 million coins, but they struck about 30 million to be on the safe side.
