Well I would consider it theft if one ounce of .999% silver 'walked' out of the mint, if anything. and if 400 of them walked out, well then Hmmm... Collecting since 1972.

The image I posted above just has the basic info on the 400 horde but not how they got out of the mint. Back in 2009 apparent a few may have been cracked out and sent to PCGS and perhaps got a MS61, but PCGS told Fred Weinberg at least they would only certify it as a commemorative silver dollar. So that may explain at least a few being PCGS graded. Not sure if others are out there as mentioned besides the 400 being that they are silver planchets, and if anything has changed regarding PCGS/ngc re-grading of them. Just sharing the basic info I had found on a brief initial look. https://boards.ngccoin.com/topic/14...agle-4-sale/ Edited by datadragon 05/15/2023 7:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Gilly Pillar of the Community United States 1225 Posts	Posted 05/15/2023 8:42 pm This goes beyond what I really collect, but especially in this era, 10+ years ago, wouldn't commemorative dollars be 90% silver not .999? Weight would be different. Report this Post to the Staff
BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4592 Posts	Posted 05/15/2023 10:06 pm Correct. ASEs were 1 troy ounce (31.1g) of 0.999 fine, and commemorative were 26.73g of 0.900 fine. It would have been easy to tell them apart. Today, not so much. I think the 2018 WW1 and Breast Cancer commems were the last 0.900 fine. The Apollo 11 in 2019 was the first 0.999 commem. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

Gilly Pillar of the Community United States 1225 Posts	Posted 05/21/2023 10:22 am Hopefully this works, just figured out this app to reduce the file size, all new stuff to me. If it's something I really want to do, I'll figure it out. Picture is probably not good enough to tell, but in the first pic I'm showing it along side a 2011S Uncirculated. Second pic I am just trying to show the reflectiveness of the planchet field, note my fingers holding the phone. Edited by Gilly 05/21/2023 10:27 am Report this Post to the Staff

Oh man, don't I know it! I really love your photography skills with coins. Mine just suck with my cellphone camera. Wish I could do a better job. On the pics I just posted, I was able to zoom in on my phone and see the date and mint mark tho. Report this Post to the Staff
