If I submit 3 uncirculated and 3 proofs ( 1 oz each) what do you think the odds are of 1 or more grading 70? BTW thanks for the help so far guys.

Another question. since so many 5 oz coins sold will the 1 oz coins become the rare variety of the series?

Rayder , I believe, You holding the coins In Your Hands, would actually answer Your own questions. Under a good lamp, Look at Your coins for finishes to have immperfections, You know what I mean, I Hope.... The average "grader " I am told take seconds to check the coin for perfection, NOT under any loupe either, Just their naked eye's. PS, WELCOME TO A GREAT FAMILY.!!!!!  |

If so, then you should realize that they don't weigh 1 ozt. They weigh 26.73 grams and their Ag content is .8593 ozt Ag. What do you mean by rare variety  If you mean the lowest mintage then the uncirculated gold half eagle coin will typically have the lowest mintage of any given commemorative coin set. I think that will be the case with the Apollo commemorative coins as well. Quote:

Your sample size is too small for any statistical averages to apply. Is your intent to submit the coins in an attempt to flip them for a quick profit? If you get 1 MS70 and 1 PRDCAM70 then you'll probably pretty much break even. More than 1 of each and you'll probably make money. If they all come back as 70s, then you'll definitely make money. Then again, none of them may grade as 70 and you could end up losing money. It's a just a gamble when you're submitting so few coins  |

BadDog said...It wouldn't surprise me if before long you see another change in commemorative legislation. One indicating the diameter of the Ag $1 to be AT LEAST 1.5 inches. That would allow the Mint to use the larger ASE blank for commemorative Ag $1s. It's probably more cost effective to use the ASE blank rather than order the 1.5 inch blanks currently used as well. I'd love commemorative coins to be 1 oz silver! Edited by livingwater

How about a picture for those who can't compare? :) I thought about it, but I think it would really needs to be a video since I was moving my head to observe the contrast changes at different angles. The 2019 ERP coin is more nuanced, while the 2014 coins are very binary (black and white). The EU medal in the 2017 Liberty set has a very similar dynamic look. I might give photo/video a try next weekend, but no promises. |

A little late to the thread, but I purchased one uncirculated silver dollar within the first couple minutes of their going on sale. It took several attempts to refresh the page and get to my cart, which is the first time I've had that experience, but overall I can't complain. In hand, this coin is absolutely stunning. As others have mentioned, it's hard to get the capsule out of the clamshell case, but hopefully it'll free itself the more I look at it. |

If the Apollo half dollar were to be flattened out, say with a vice, in order to fit the commem into a standard coin album, does anyone know what the resulting diameter would be? I'd hate to flatten one out and then find it still won't fit into the album... |
