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

I think even if they could limit everyone to 1 per household (and they did do that) and nobody was buying for anyone, you still have people buying them up low in bulk off ebay and the reselling them with a markup as long as the market will bear it and we'd still be in the same exact situation.

The only way around this is high or unlimited mintage and then nobody would want it or it would be cheap and sell at or below mint issue price so the only real way around this is never creating a low mintage rarity, so that everyone can have as many as they want and there is no aftermarket value to it.

I for one like the idea that my collecting isn't always a total loss and a money pit of junk nobody wants and may have some value above what I paid for it.
But that's me. I guess I'm in the minority lol.

Ditto here. 95% of the coins I submit go to NGC. I did the Cable Car label also (mailed to NGC yesterday)

I will add another personal reason. I mentioned milk spotting of ASE's in another thread and this hit home with me this year. Even though 90-95% of my ASE's are NGC slabbed I have a collection 10 times greater (or more) of spotted PCGS ASE's...maybe I'm just an outlier but I will NOT increase my odds by sending to PCGS...TOTALLY an opinion but real in my case.

Another reason is that PCGS and NGC ERP's are selling for equal prices so there is little downside...and...if PCGS grades less 70's then that's another plus for NGC

Both companies are great...go with your gut. I went with my personal experience

I really want to keep this coin. It's still in the unopened box. But I'm starting to get to the coin collecting state of "heavy sighs from the wife whenever I excitedly say 'I just ordered another coin.'".

I hadn't even thought about how the COA would be encapsulated until you mentioned this. I just assumed it would be placed in some sort of baseball card style holder. Anyone have pics of the two differing styles?

That's crazy! They may hit $2k for an unopened box. I think the holidays plus possibility of a low COA is driving these prices up.

Mine just got to NGC's post office, probably will get delivered Monday. Anyone know what the backlog is NGC opening packages?

Edit: And of course they update saying they tried to make a delivery attempt. Well of course no luck when they're closed on weekends.

Generally 2-3 business days. Might be more like 6-7 right now since nothing has been opened since Wednesday especially if they aren't picking up packages today.

I thought items getting delivered to PO boxes just got dropped off at the corresponding post office and that was considered "delivered". Am I missing something?
