Not to change topics, but…
We rec’d 4 2015 Liberty Golds. The rim nicks were apparent on one under 30x loupe. Sent it back. Another had nicking under the torch, again under 30x. That’s going back too. That leaves us with 2. It’s a beautiful coin – a fresh approach instead of recycling the old classics. I’ve heard that there one of the TPG’s has MS, and also proof-like and mirror Proof-like varieties. We’ll see how that turns out. As far as packing, I’d rather have more coin, less package. The Jackie’s came in beautiful presentation cases but sent them to PCGS, so now what do I do with those beautiful cases now? Lol. I wouldn’t dream of leaving these pieces out to display in these cases anyway, let alone having seen anyone display them that way. Except the dealers in their glass cases of course!

Glad I skipped this HR gold .. did the Mint ever say exactly how they produced this coin? Was it given for example, a satin finish and stuff like that beyond the high relief strike … ?

I meant to say the dime guys were bored to tears after decades of special quarters and dollar coins. Finally something to get fired up about.

And I wish the spell checkers would quit changing my words.

That is my ten cents worth anyhow!

Just received the 2015 American Liberty High Relief piece earlier in the week; although it was struck as a successor more or less to the 2009 UHR, the Mint did not execute this new product as perfectly as they did in ’09. Back then, they spared no expense with a mahogany presentation box with a small booklet. This year, the Mint cut a number of corners; especially, giving it a presentation case that was fitting for a proof commemorative and not a high relief. No additional booklet either. I noticed a couple of rim nicks on the reverse, almost like it was scraped during production. And, business strike finish made the piece appear as a circulating quality coin similar to what would be found in change just freshly struck. However, all the devices on both obverse and reverse were sharply executed especially the flying eagle. I believe it’s the best looking eagle I’ve seen on any U. S. Mint coin. As it stands, the coin was sold $400 above and beyond melt value given the $100 face value.

This was without a doubt the best offering of the year. A real gift to dime collectors who were about after years of quarters and dollar coins.
