US Mint New Listing On Schedule For A 2019 Enhanced Reverse Proof American Silver Eagle

And I agree with you. These coins are trading at premium, I have this one and a few others that I paid more for. I like the way they look, but I would never pay the crazy prices people are paying now. Look the coin is WOW. It really probably one of the most beautiful coins out there. I had no issues paying the $65 this coin cost. And it looks like alot of other people didn't either, and I understand that the coins has value more than the bullion cost alone, but the coin is just a fancy ASE. So its a bullion coin that the market prices much higher than its actual "value".

They're only in that category because they started as only bullion and administratively and ease of use for the user makes sense to keep them all in one place to find them but sure let's ignore facts

Being bullion and being numismatic/collector pieces aren't mutually exclusive. But this argument that keeps occurring on this forum is based in the assumption that they are.

The ASE are bullion. They are sold based on the metal content, not the face value. But these specific versions have special finishes that impart numismatic value, so good luck trying to buy one for spot.

Now can we move on?

and now back to our regular scheduled program - coin arrived today and like jack has brought up has a flimsy piece of tape on it feels really light as well LOL I didn't open it yet ill be out of the country for a week. what a crazy ride this has been hopefully we (collectors) do not have to go through this again!! BRING BACK THE WAITING ROOM MINT! and do a better job kicking those bots lol

I just got mine. Now to figure out if I want to send it to PCGS or NGC. I really want to rip open the package to see what "serial" number I got. Decisions, decisions.

No. They sell for that because in the case of early date ASEs the 70 is actually rare. People sent them in for grading and the TPGs did their job and graded them. Their sale price has nothing to do with the TPGs adding to their bottom line.




There are subjects where good debates can be had and everything is an opinion such as what is the best deign, whether you would pay the market rate for something, which coin looks the best, does a collection need this to be complete, what would you like to see next or the mint to do etc.

Then there are topics where there are cold hard facts such as the TPGs do not make market prices, the TPGs are trustworthy, a collector coin sold as one selling for hundreds over spot isn't bullion etc. There's just some topics that do have right and wrong answers.




It probably is low, but it isn't out of the question. They had to buy most of those on the aftermarket which likely meant $400 minimum. They aren't a big enough submitter to get the dirt cheap rates (unless they do more behind the scenes than it appears) for submission and likely had to use the walkthrough service level to get the coins back this fast which standard price is $150 a coin, even with a discount it'll be a $100 or more, then some express shipping from where they bought it and shipped to grade ect. At the very least they were doing express grading or buying from others that had them graded.

There's a lot of overhead fees from the purchase time to the final sale price to have them graded and ready to sell this quickly with how slow they're shipping out from the mint. Then eBay/paypal fees which they likely pay the full rate or close to it.

When it's all said and done you can easily see that their profit is much much tighter than most think

They haven't colored them yet.

So far I like the look of the coin but this shipping service with Fedex Smart Post is really slow. I've ordered stuff before and its about 3-4 days. Shipping is going to take from 10 days to 14. That's crazy as the coins left on Monday/Tuesday.
