Looks like the price of this coin was increased back to original issue price of $890 today (011417). Yesterday it was $815 ….so was the Standing Liberty. FYI

Jack,
Would like to see a holder that would house all three of them.

Household limit 3 Walking Liberty @ $890 each…..TOTAL $2,670 + S/H…..

How many collectors can afford that !!??

Answer: NOT MANY

Would like to see someone come out with a “plastic holder” for the collector who can afford one (1) of each coin !!

Buy the coin. But trust the grade (not the label) only to NGC or PCGS. Too many taken by overpaying. Grade matters, especially on older coins.

RBG,
I noticed you used the word “issue”. I stated “first day of issue” which is truly misleading. As has been stated before, “buy the coin, not the label”.
But, RBG, to each his own. Happy collecting to you.

How is it a scam if the label clearly states “Early Release” or “Issue”? It is within 30 days of issue and not mintage. If the labels would say Early Mintage or First day of mintage it would be untrue, but they do not. The market has made these Early Release graded coins a bit of a premium. This adds a bit of fun to collecting!

RBG,
Early release and first day of issue are a scam put on by the grading companies. Six months from now you might buy a coin from the mint that was one of the first ones struck. You have no way of telling.

One additional point. When the mint has a household limit of one it makes it impossible to receive the “Early Release” grade designation on additional purchases due to time required to receive and mail (longer than 30 days). This is why you will not see a quick sellout and coins remain unsold on coins previously issued this way. The secondary market is key to the future of our coin hobby and should not be ignored or taken lightly.

Well boys, seems as if we all see the writing on the wall, I am becoming an old codger, I have NEVER used an debut card, I do not have an Iphone, I do not use bill pay, I spend ca$h every day, pay with $2bills & 50c halves to watch the faces of the cashiers…..one day when paper $ is gone, gold & silver wil have some value, alot, a little or none ala the Twilight Zone gold heist stroyline..the Mint is killing the golden geese, us collectors, but being the crackcoinheads we are we usually go ahead & pull the trigger, I can buy 3 WLH, but I’ll get just one….I even had a teller ask for ID when I paid my credit card bill in ca$h @ the bank I said no, she said why, I said it’s my card you know who the H*ll I am.–> the manager came over & said as under $1ok no ID req’d she was thinking of making a report to IRA on a suspicious cash transactiom, as I tell the kids @ all times, we are being WATCHED…it will get worse
