Dazed, you probably know I don’t bother having any of my coins graded, but I must say the Morgans/Peace dollars that I’ve received from the Mint all look exceptional, to me. I’m not saying they’re 70’s, as I can’t tell the difference from that and a 69 grade, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they are. A 67 would be obvious as a flaw would be present.
Just watched uncle Joe give a speech about this fabulous ‘border bill’ and you’ll never guess who he’s blaming for trying to stop it. ‘tRUMP is the devil’…sorry, the Waterboy movie was on over the weekend.

In reply to Chris Terp. Chris, Well at least you know what gets your friends excitable! Bourbon does work wonders, doesn't it. Lol

In reply to Craig. I don't know. I recall the morgan and peace coins after almost a century of buildup released some pretty shi++y 67 and below. Tons of returns. But you can't prove it as they don't post numbers anymore. Maybe Harriet took the coin industry underground.

In reply to Craig. EZZZZZZACTLY Craig on what seems to be the grading service, coin holder plus label and FOMO (from infomercials) generating price points. Why is the U.S. Mint encouraging this? Shouldn't the Mint be encouraging a widespread enthusiasm of coin collecting? Especially since it seems the collector class is dwindling. None of my friends or colleagues collect coins or stamps. Put a bottle of bourbon in front of them and they'll go berserk though! Yes, odd no production figures being reported. Have checked Mint production figures on their website and latest we get is from 14JAN2024.

I wonder what % of those 4.9 million bullion ASE’s were purchased by Magic Mike? Also wonder what % will be returned after failing to grade perfect by the 4 ‘esteemed’ grading services. With so many coins these days grading perfect It seems to me they are slowly killing off the desire to own a ‘perfect’ coin. These days, the various coin hucksters don’t even talk much about the coin, no the real ‘rarity’ is with the grading label. This is my exclusive such and such label, which makes this item rarer than even the last rare item, which I just presented to you. Oh, and it does come with a coin! With hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of these ASE’s being graded 70, why are people paying extreme premiums to own a common coin? I haven’t bought one since the early 2000’s. I like to buy low/sell high (stocks) not buy high/sell low new 70 graded coins.

I think the reason no sales figures are being released is because they are embarrassed by the numbers. I see they haven’t sold out the Congratulations Set yet. If their object is to decrease sales of their products, then providing all these DEI themes is succeeding masterfully!
