Bought coin & currency sets today at 12:05 PM in case they sell out. The 2012 San Francisco Proof Silver Eagles will have the lowest mintage of all the Proof Silver Eagles except for the 1995 West Point Silver Eagle. Plus there is only 100,000 150th anniversary of the Bureau of Engraving & Printing $5 bills beginning with a serial # of “150”. That’s not a bad deal.

Can’t wait for the collector’s set they are going to make up with the additional reverse proof coins they minted.

My comments on occasion are facetious. Guess u have not seen my prior posts on Labeling as a pedigree. I really like them and wish there were even more (not really – for the thick of cranium).

Special label joke is on me. Good one. But i’ll keep mine as is. That’s if I can get one.

I saw a graded coin for sale on a popular on-line auction site with the wrong label on it (called a mechanical error by the grading companies). It was listed for sale as an “Error” coin.

A perfect example of “Labeling Gone Wild”.

RonnieBGood –
Don’t put ideas in their heads. We’ve already got people who think a graded coin with a special label is worth more than the same coin without the special label. We don’t need more special labels created just so coin graders can make more money.

I always keep the packaging and throw away the coins. Does anyone keep the coins anymore? The packaging in this set will be a lot rarer than the packaging of the two coin sets. I think grading companies need to start grading packaging and there should be a special desigantion for how soon a person threw away the coins. 10 years from now eveyone will be throwing away the coins when they find out how much just the packaging alone is worth. My packaging should be worth more as I threw away the coins earlier than other people. There needs to be someway to get people to buy packaging they already have and grading packaging where coins were thrown out sooner would be a good measuring stick of the true value of packaging. We’ll also need to educate new collectors on what is most valuable as connon sense wshould never apply to collecting.

The 2 coin set has better packaging and higher shipping costs.
