So interesting regarding the 2019 American liberty sales. Not really doing well. The silver yes but not sure why since most of the coins quality is poor. Also why did they not make these medals a enhanced reverse proof like the ASE then they probably would have sold out. The gold as well. I think the gold isn’t selling either the price is so high or not just happy with the design overall.

sam tweedy

2019-S Proof Silver Eagles now sold out!!! Mike Mezack bought a big chunk of them to make the big bucks!! The “KING” has done it again. Repeat Repeat Repeat Understand!!! Mr. Ripoff!!!

sam tweedy

Wait the US MINT got his returns back, now they have them again. Repeat LOL…..

MJS

He was hawking these for $199 plus s&h the other night claiming they will be the rarest regular issue ASE. Cracked me up when he said that his advice to buy this coin, based on his vast experience and analytics, was ABSOLUTELY FREE!!! No extra charge for this advice – lol. Such a charlatan….

Christopher Williams

Good one, Sam, and you’re probably right.

Chas Barber

A mintage of 100k+ so not a rare #. Better deal than the W but I passed… So many ASEs for soo long………..
Plus they’re back IN STOCK ready to sell……

John D Moore

Looks like the S ASEs are unavailable again.

Christopher Williams

They were available after only one day of Mike “Sold Out, Limited Edition” Mezack verbalizing his BS!!!!

Foxman69

Can’t imagine the 2019 S ASE’s are sold out at a little over 112,000…I think collectors anticipated a sellout last week when they bought so many it strained the Mint’s inventories…likely will return, if only briefly…you figured the Pride of Two Nations sets had sold out weeks ago but still available…happens frequently with us mint products…secondary sales with nice markups…collectors fearing a sellout…I am awaiting a Mint email reminder and with all signs pointing to an approaching sellout, will likely order a few myself…

Christopher Williams

By the way, The US Mint has changed the release date of the Palladium Reverse Proof to Sept, 12th.

Chris

Yeah the mint wants to wait to see palladium skyrocket after the holiday weekend. Always a conspiracy.

Keep Calm & Stack On

Squeeze out another $50 profit per coin sale, on what may likely be a $1,987.50 offering.., not a bad play if you’re the USM.

I’d be surprised to see 9,000 in sales on the opener.., though who knows how the collector base will respond this time around. Risky purchase given the volitlity of Palladium.

$50 increase on 9,000 sold though is an additional $450,000.., & to Chris’ point above, it is a short week ahead lending itself to perhaps a PD pop and increase in the weekly average fix for the Wednesday price reset. Gonna get interesting…,

Keep Calm & Stack On

I really wish the USM had just done for 2019:

– 10,000 BU PD’s @ $1,550’ish &
– 10,000 RP PD’s @ $1,937 – $1,987

And called it a day…

I guess next year we get 30,000 Enhanced Uncirculated PD’s @ $2,137.., oh the horror!

Christopher Williams

I watched the latest HSN Coin Collector show and Mike “Sold Out, Limited Edition” Mezack is already selling the “2019 Palladium Coin” in RP70 for $3999.99.

Christopher Williams

I just observed that on last night’s HSN Coin Collector that Mike “Sold Out, Limited Edition” Mezack had a “2018 Palladium” coin in a “2019” slab!!!

What the heck!!!

Piedmont

I’ve read about that being the case for other HSN coin releases before. It would seem that he either makes use of a counterfeit case, or the grading service provides one for him to promote the sale of to be graded future release coins. The camera man tries not to show the date on the previous year coin, only on the slab…or whatever is being used to represent the coin that will be available.
….Total theatrics. I would never consider purchasing anything numismatic from a home shopping network.

Christopher Williams

You are right about that, Piedmont, and it is totally unethical.

Richard Margolis

He never states that it is a pre-sale, but he has determined that he will have a finite# of Proof70 from ANACS

Christopher Williams

Yep. He’s got an exact number.

Richard Margolis

Is the USM planning to release 2019 American Eagle One Ounce Silver Enhanced Reverse Proof coins later this year? This is a duplicate from the Pride of Nations set. Will definitely drop the value of that set with an increase in supply. Screw the collectors

joera

Did anyone else catch Rick Harrison from “PAWN STARS” on with Mike Mezack? I couldn’t believe it. Rick talked about Mike Mezack as “honest” and about how important “reputation” was in his line of work. I’ve seen Rick as an honest business man just because he won’t take advantage of people trying to sell something to him when they ask for way less than what an item is worth. Rick will give them a fair price and not under pay them for what they are selling. I mean for a pawn shop to make money. Anyway I was just surprised… Read more »
