I ordered 5 of each, received them in just a few days and they are incredibly beautiful. I also have an MS-70 and a PF-70 D-CAM NGC certified on the way. Looking as hard as I can with a 25X loop, I can see no flaws in any of the 10 coins. However, I always hedge my bet by buying one of each perfect coin.

I received my order of Disabled Veteran coins. On one of the business strike’s reverse looks like a “swirling” pattern on the field of the coin. Does anyone have any idea what sort of error this might be and if it’s worth forking out the money to have it graded? You can see it on EBay under completed auctions by searching “Disabled Veteran Error” and it should come up. Thanks for any help!!! Get those Boy Scouts before they’re sold out!!!

little guy says:Do you think dealers that bought the limit allowed (100) are holding and will late sell these at less than what they paid? Don’t see it.If anything, they’ll wait and charge more later.I must be misunderstanding your point.Who really cares who buys them as long as there is a low mintage number.Other than people who are up on this sort of thing,(collecting),most people hear about it after the fact,and when someone likes and wants something,they usually find the means to get it.

With an order limit of 100 units each per household in effect, to sell out does not indicate the overall individual interest in the coin itself. Most likely coin dealers and other entrepreneurs are buying their full limit, plus some, hoping to cash in on the almost 3 million potential buyer latter. Unfortunately my prediction is that the secondary market for this coin will not be of any consequence, and that most likely the 3 million will wait it out until they can purchase the coins from the individuals mentioned above for less then what they would have paid the US Mint. And believe me they will have there chance to do so if they are willing to show some patience.
