It would be interesting to have the mint officials explain what data is combined to come up with the weekly sales reports. 2017 and 2018 liberty gold liberty coins have sharp increases in sales even though they haven’t been unavailable for months. 2024 Peace and Morgan dollars have sharp decreases even though they were released 4 weeks ago.
The numbers are supposed to be cumulative sales, reflective of both positive and negative (returns) across all Mint sales (bulk dealer, catalog, gift shops, shows, and any others I’m missing). As to when and how each gets reported and when, it’s a mystery to me.
Kia99,
Isn’t that 2017 $100 American Liberty Gold Coin the one that won Best Coin of the Year?
That’s the one Kaiser! Over two thousand more sold, or the records of two thousand sales surfaced last week even though its been listed with a “remind me” button on the mint’s site for months.
Kai99,
Don’t you just love the typically shadowy, invariably arcane and incontestably elusive maneuvers of our oh so very mysterious US Mint?
Then again, there might be just one person who knows…
I actually like the designs on these AI dollars better than the AWQ designs.
First year AWQs we’re real winners. Since then, downhill for me.
473 distinct numismatic products (with more to come!) from a mint whose primary objective is to strike four circulating designs. They’ve lost focus and thus, we are paying the price (literally and figuratively) for the craziness – that is if you haven’t given up on their numismatic psychopathy.
The Mint makes what it’s ordered to make by laws and statutes written by Congress. And the designs are chosen by panels.
I doubt 473 items were required by statute. Just sayin……
Major D is correct. Doubt it or not.
Didn’t realize that Congress legislated the Christmas coin ornaments. I stand corrected.
DaveSWFL,
Those don’t count since the Coin(s) they display was previously already legislated by the Congress and the ornament itself is just an afterhought. Besides, the likely high profit on those has to be good for those all-important end of year seigniorage figures.
DaveSWFL,
“Numismatic psychopathy”. Now that is some noteworthy nomenclature indeed!
DaveSWFL, There is a distinct difference between the driving force of the designs, or images if you will, that appear on the the AI dollars and on the American Women Quarters, which is that the former are basically functional in intent while the latter are more inclined to be artistic, so it’s rather like the old comparing apples and oranges thing. As far as the Mint being tasked to strike four circulating designs, it’s somewhat questionable if the lower denomination one or even two of those have any use at all these days, and the dime and quarter are the… Read more »
Dave, I did give up and fired the mint. A lot easier…
John Q. Coinage,
What kind of arrangement did you make for the Mint’s severance package?
Rick, thanks for chiming in on the PCGS blue labels and I think you were spot on with the faded one. Also it was cool to revisit the PCGS Museum link you provided as well. Any body out there with 1 or more PCGS Regency Holders? Interesting bit of numismatic history, like it or not.
CaliSkier,
RicK, RicH, or Ricky Ricardo?
Kaiser,
Ricky Ricardo as a kid growing up in the 60’s.
Slick Rick in my twenties at the night clubs.
Richard when confronted by Uncle Sam lol.
Rick,
Great sequence, and rather clever that you skipped the Tricky Dick stage.
That’s included in the Slick Rick phase!
Rick,
That I can believe as you’ve once again demonstrated your uncanny ability to come up with a quick answer for everything!
The First Strike Flag labels are a ‘much lighter’ blue than their Gold Shield First Strike label counterparts,. as well as the non FS Gold Shield labels(darker). So you’re only half mistaken I think?
I have an ‘in hand’ comparison of each of those labels to see what I/you are saying.
Probably tomorrow in a post to AKBob
Interesting picture Cali, never saw one before….
John Q. Coinage,
The Regency holders look a bit like a car’s headlight turned on its side.
CaliSkier, I have one PCGS Regency Holder: 1958 Silver 5 lirot Israel Specimen – Danny Kaye PCGS MS67 (Premium Regency Holder). PCGS states that “approximately 700 coins were put into Regency Holders, roughly half of them Israeli coins from the Danny Kaye Collection”.
Rich,
I’ll be darned, one does learn something every day. On this particular occasion it was the existence of the Danny Kaye Collection of Israeli Coins.
Sorry for the hypocrisy – I just used the reply in an other than final post.
I’m so embarrassed!
Forty lashes with a wet noodle
Major D said: “The Mint makes what it’s ordered to make by laws and statutes written by Congress. And the designs are chosen by panels.” Here we go again, with another “round” of “misinformation”, stated and accepted as fact. A bit more diligence would be appreciated, prior to putting out information that’s simply “not true, or only partially true. Now, would you like me to fill in the “blanks” or would you like the opportunity to make the correction, once you decide to “educate” yourself Major D? Both sentences Major D, are “false”! Just a tad “misleading”. BTW, perhaps you… Read more »
C’mon Cali, educate yourself…
When someone says “Major D is correct. Doubt it or not.” What better proof do you need that Major D knows it all when it comes to the Mints’ coin design process, sales reports, and how coins were struck(die polish lines that look like scrubbing lol) in the 19th century?…
CaliSkier, your ignorance is beyond reproach.
Here the mint strikes again – SSS video today – they are selling items in big numbers that were “sold out” AND not publicly offered (sold back door)
How can collectors ever slab and expect any kind of value when they keep changing the numbers??? 2017 & 2018 coins??? How DARE they!!!!!!!!!!
Probably one of the last instances where the Mint struck way too many up front. The public was done buying those anyway. All of those leftover ’17-18 Gold coins are over at the big boys with deep pockets, and a realistic mindset that Silver & Gold will not go down in the longer term. How about sell an item for a year max, not 6 or 7 years, what a joke. Or how about this novel idea–when they say that it’s sold out after 30 days–KEEP IT SOLD OUT!
Rick,
I do believe it’s my turn to take a chance at playing the devil’s advocate again. Since the Mint knows that Silver and Gold inventory will only increase in value year after year while just sitting there, what business reason would it have to instead dispose of same? Besides, by holding on to these coins as such the Mint avoids the price of melting and reclaiming the metals involved. Seems like a fairly good deal all around as to the Mint’s operating costs and profit margins.
You’re right once again Kaiser!
The US Mint and all of its employees come first. The non .gov public and it’s US Mint collector base comes in last .
Rick,
I take no pride in being right when the unsightly facts I manage to dig up depict such an unfortunate reality for the typical collector.
Tony@GA,
Not to take anyone’s side in this area of contention, but isn’t it pretty much standard practice to “dare” anything when there are no foreseeable consequences expected?
For those that have been waiting, with bated breath and wishing to learn, here are the “facts”.
The programs I’m initially referring to, are the 2024 Liberty and Britannia and 2024 Flowing Hair, Gold Coin and Silver Medal programs.. Additionally, the 2025-2027 D//C Comics Gold Coin and Silver Medal program.
After delving further, here are additional products, fitting the bill as well. Another program implemented by the US Mint without having been “ordered” by Congress, a Public Law, statute, etc and no need to have designs chosen or even recommended by a panel or sent for, consultation, before final approval, are the Presidential Silver medals.(2018-present) This applies as well to the 2 1/2 and 1oz U.S. Armed Forces Silver Medals from 2021 – Present. The last in that program will be the Space Force 2/1oz and 1oz, with both releases still TBD. These are authorized, allowed by U.S. Code: “The… Read more »
CaliSkier,
“Examples governed by “Public Law” are, our commemorative coins, $1 coins (now NIFC), circulating coins, bullion coins, as well as additional medals legislated by Congress” which means that all that is left for the Mint to come up with by itself without the benefit of federal i.e. Congressional legislation are some Gold Coins which for rather obvious reasons many if not most coin collectors simply cannot afford and any number of Silver Medals which for various reasons many if not most coin collectors aren’t at all interested in.
There is enabling legislation for every coin the Mint makes- some more broad than others. And there is even legislation giving the Mint the authority to make medals as it deems fit.
Major D,
I get your point. Even the legal ability of the Mint to be able to crank out Gold Coins and Silver Medals at will had to have come from somewhere in the legislative area of government to begin with.
Boy, can you be any denser, CaliSkier? What do you think US Code is, if not law? Why don’t you goggle it? And while you’re at it, why don’t you review all of the coin and medal design selections that are warehoused within the vast collection of articles on this site. Yes, panels/committees recommend, Sec approves but 99.99% of the time what the panel/committee recommends is what gets approved. Even for the stuff that the Mint seemingly does on its own, there is some enabling legislation giving it that authority. But go ahead and focus on the exception, because that’s… Read more »
‘trying to educate myself Caliskier and I found the US Mint says; “As a part of the U.S. Department of Treasury, the United States Mint derives its authority from the United States Congress. Congress authorizes every coin and most medals that the U.S. Mint manufactures and oversees the Mint’s operations under its Public Enterprise Fund (PEF).” Then they list copious legislation, I was surprised to learn both the innovation dollars and new Morgan and Peace dollars were authorized by congress. I can’t see what’s not there so would you consider helping educate me about coins and tell us which coins… Read more »

AKBob, and now there are two FS L&B’s… Now don’t give me a hard time for not choosing the “Flag Label” in regards to my Mint sealed box submission! I sent the coin in with no specific First Strike instructions other than it was a qualifying coin(coin on right). I wanted to see what they came up with for the FS label. I am neutral on my FS label preference and I like them both. There are some big differences for sure. I never realized how large the font is for the flag label–“FIRST STRIKE” is BIG & BOLD. I… Read more »
Alas, the only shinny place on the whole thread.
Rick,
Here’s a different “First Strike” label for you.
Also, how is the Sunshine State? They have a number of high end dealers in Sarasota. That’s where I would be.
Cheers
Yes you’re right, I need to work on 100% coin talk myself!
That’s a nice shiny Silver specimen right there!
Yes I’m almost out the door going to my favorite Red state. I’m bringing a gold bar with me to see what a LCS offers me. Anybody know of a good coin shop in Orlando, and/or West Palm Beach?
Gotta run E 1. It’s always good to hear from you! I’ll check back later
Rick,
Forcing oneself to adhere to a 100% coin talk rule would feel somewhat akin to believing one has to read all ten pages of every New Yorker article.
Agreed, that’s a bit much at 100% coin talk!
After all, then I wouldn’t be able to talk about Sunshine, Sarasota, or Sally Field!
Rick,
Perhaps it’s a matter of a 100% of anything being a bit over the top. In regard to what we might be missing if we did in fact subscribe to exactly such a single-minded thread policy, I too abhore the thought of there being no mention of Sally Field.
E 1,
You gave me a good laugh with your “shiny place” reference! In the same spirit of humor, let me guess; you only picked up Playboy and Penthouse for the articles.
Kaiser,
I prefer Playboy, but I’m more of an autograph guy.
I dream of Jeanie.
And Jen Jen.
The real Britannia.
Peace Out
You have a good eye for autographed ‘art’ E1. Keep ‘up’ the good work!
The greatest gift to receive in life is beauty.

E 1,
Beauty is ephemeral, love on the other hand is enduring. While I can of course appreciate beauty, I would trade it for love in an instant.
P.S. Sometimes I get so annoyingly pedantic I could puke. 😉
Rick,
I second that emotion.
P.S. I notice these were all taken with a bit of a nip in the air.
Standing Liberty MS70

Oops. I guess I missed this the first time. Things move so fast.

I’ve heard that horniness is next to godliness, so we’re all cool.
Sometimes I find myself regretting which computer keys I hit.
I dream of Jeanie without a bikini.
Mike Petraitis,
You just might want to rethink that; Barbara Eden is 92 years old.
Then again, I’m not exactly a spring chicken either so I can’t in this case put my money where my mouth is, or anywhere else.

No problem. We all talk to ourselves occasionally.
By the way, absolutely LOVE those Walking Liberty Half Dollars!
Well, they didn’t last long. Hope you got to enjoy them.

As the most unfortunately so likely forever obscure but nevertheless historically speaking absolutely revolutionary and as such eternally memorable electronic rock band The United States of America made a point of in one of the songs on their stellar eponymous 1968 release, “Reality is only temporary.”
Rick, first off, congrats on getting the 70 grade on it!! I have, since watching & listening to You, that label has grown on me. I actually really like it. I will always get the First Strike, Flag Label if the coins eligible but if it isn’t, I’ll go with the regular blue label with the Gold Shield! That Gold Shield makes the regular boring blue label “pop”!! So thanks for getting me on board with that label. It’s really grown on me. I’m also glad you had the First Strike added on the Gold Shield label!! I’m a huge… Read more »
AKBob, “As far as what the Mint does with Bulk Purchasers, Big dealers, etc., I’m not even going to worry about something I have zero control over.

I do not like stress, pressure and anxiety at all and I try to avoid it at all costs. I can get way too passionate about some things and if I got that way with the mint, it would… Read more »
Kia99 you are most welcome! I also saw the same statement you referred to: “Congress authorizes every coin and most medals that the U.S. Mint manufactures” This is misleading as well. Why, some may ask? This is due to the fact the US Mint has “authority” given, to strike, pretty much any Gold coin, they so choose to, of course with approval and a signing off on the design, by the Secretary of the Treasury. Hence, the Liberty and Britannia as well as Flowing hair Gold coins, in addition to the next 3 years(9 tot.) of DC Comics Gold coins.… Read more »
I have to wonder how much fluidity there is in the mint’s distinction between coins and medals. The mint says, ” The Mint also makes medals. Medals aren’t money. ” Well, neither 5 ounce silver quarters nor one ounce platinum eagles are effectively money either. Does putting a value on a round make it legal tender and hence a coin?
Kia99,
One of the funniest things I’ve ever seen the Mint do was to put a “Quarter Dollar” face value on those massive five ounce silver America The Beautiful “hocky pucks”.
That would be “hockey”. Occasionally the originally German-speaking me slips up.
Kaiser, My ‘quarter dollar’ pucks remind me of the financial acuity of our beloved government. Who in this world would place a quarter dollar face value on 5 ounces of Ag other than the government. Of course, since they were based on the ATB Quarters Series, they had to have the same face value. It does suck though when I have to hand over 4 of them to buy a single pack of gum! BTW, the Australians aren’t much better in placing adequate face value designations on their Ag Kilo coins. $30.00 face value for a kilo of Ag…I wish… Read more »
Craig,
What bothered me the most about that assignment of the nomenclature “Quarter Dollar” to the Five Ounce Silver Burnished America The Beautiful Coins was less the admittedly underwhelming face value than the discordant appearance of the absurd term “Quarter Dollar” in big letters right across the face of what is actually a very high value silver coin. Just because it wasn’t made of one of the more upper echelon precious metals shouldn’t have meant it couldn’t have had “$100 Dollars” stamped onto it.
Kaiser, I know and if I used one with the $100 face value on it, I’d get money back from my chewing gum purchase! Lol
Craig,
Your comment brings to mind how the inferior face value the Five Ounce Silver AWQ Coin was given reminds me of Rodney Dangerfield and his famous quote “I don’t get no respect!”
Yes, Kia99, all United States coins are legal tender (for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues). Coins like the one ounce Platinum American Eagle (and the one ounce gold American Liberty coins and the Liberty & Britannia gold coin) with a $100 face value are the highest denomination for a U.S. legal tender coin.
.. help me with the cause and effect part please Rich. Are they legal tender because they have a value stamped on them, or have the strikes been give the attribution of legal tender ( ie defined as coins) then sculptors carve the value into the dies to let people know how much buying power they have.
Kia99, the cause and effect part is complicated and I don’t fully understand it, especially in terms of the coin’s face value and it’s buying power, but basically they are U.S. legal tender because they are a minted United States coin with a face value denomination stamped on them. Sir Kaiser and I had a commentary discussion on this very topic about a year ago as it relates to the U.S Mint modern bullion coins and their assigned denominational face value, e.g., One ounce Silver American Eagle = $1 (buying power/value >/= $28) One ounce Palladium American Eagle = $25… Read more »
A footnote related to pre-1933 US Mint Silver Dollars and Gold Double Eagles, as it pertains to face value denomination, metal weight, and value/buying power during the years before 1933:
Morgan/Peace Silver Dollar: face value = $1; silver weight = 0.859 troy ounce; 1-oz silver average spot price = $1.00; and value/buying power = $1
Gold Double Eagle: face value = $20; gold weight = 0.9675 troy ounce; 1-oz gold average spot price = $20.00; value/buying power = $20
Ah, those were the days…
Rich, I wonder if the low face values as legal tender have more to do with making the coins immaterial with regards to the Fed’s control of the overall money supply. And if by lunacy someone actually cashed a gold $20 coin at a bank whether the bank is under any legal obligation to send it to the Fed? Which is not to say that it wouldn’t be exchanged for a $20 bill from a bank employee’s wallet.
Major D, interesting hypothetical questions. I think a lot has to do with considerations of “circulating versus non-circulating coinage.” Pre-1933, a gold to silver ratio of 20 was used. This is close to the ratio of 15 set by the Coinage Act of 1792, and the ratio of 16 which many investors believe the ratio should stand. Today’s gold silver ratio is approximately 88; the higher the ratio would indicate that silver is “cheap” (if the ratio is low(er), some investors may turn to invest in gold, possibly exchanging their silver in the process).
Rich and Major D,
Your mutual two comment exchange above illustrates how sometimes leaving it at asking thought-provoking questions rather than simply supplying ready answers can actually end up providing a superior format discussion-wise. Good job, guys!
Major D,
One possible reason for coins having a maximum face value of $100 is that circulating US paper currency has that limit also.
Maybe I should ask for change at the grocery store? It’s legal tender.
Rick,
If checkout clerks look at you very suspiciously when you hand them a $100 bill, they’ll likely call the Swat Team on you for this one.
Rich,
That’s a very illuminating review of how the “face value” vis a vis “precious metal worth” scenario operated in the good old days when there was an actual equivalency between the two. Brilliant!
Rich,
I do, however distantly, remember this tete a tete we had regarding the discrepancy between “face value” and “precious metal worth” of various silver, palladium, platinum and gold coins. Regardless of what the current intrinsic value of the precious metal any coin is made of the official face value designation definitely trumps all else. And I’m sure I’m not the only one here who has thought about how one of the most egregious examples of this situation ever was the America The Beautiful Silver Five Ounce Burnished Uncirculated Coin with its laughably nonsensical “One Quarter” face value.
Rich, thanks for this. Had I said it there would have been a follow-up refutation from CaliSkier strung together from cut and paste fragments found on-line somewhere. Because CaliSkier knows all and is a researcher. LMAO.
Fellow Lincoln Cent Collectors………2018-S Reverse Proof FDI Mercanti signed: . I picked this up for $39 on eBay last week. This coin has a mintage of 199K. You would think most dealers would hold these back from the market place for a while. Yet, there are a number of them still available for cheap. . Also, in 2017, in celebration of the 225th Anniversary of the Philadelphia Mint, the US Mint placed a “P” mintmark on the 2017 P Lincoln Shield Cent for the first time and for only one year. Since I know so well of the types of… Read more »
E 1,
I wish you luck on your No “P” Mintmark hunt. Imagine what that coin would be worth!
Kaiser,
Another possible variant would be a 2018 P Lincoln Shield Cent with a “P” mintmark. Only time will tell.
E 1,
Good for you, my friend. Frankly, that possibility hadn’t even come to mind for me but if such a coin did in fact exist it would be real winner for sure!
E 1,
A very nice specimen indeed! The closest I have to something like that is three 2019-W Reverse Proof Lincoln Cents in the special sealed packaging they arrived in as complimentary additions to the three 2019-S Silver Proof Sets they came with.
Kaiser,
Three is a magic number.
Kaiser,
More three piece magic.
Peace Out
E1, dang, those sets look really nice! I wish we could display our coins so friends and family could see them. They are really missing out!! At least here you can show your coins to folks that can really appreciate what others have collected over the years. Thx E1 for sharing the photos. Rick has shared some dandy coins too!!

AKBob,
You’re welcome. I’ve always enjoyed your posts Bob. You add a lot of good info and character here. Since there are so many coins and coin niches out there, one needs to be very selective. Community info is always a plus.
All my best
E 1,
That sounds like a good deal, that 2018 RP 1C. I picked one up last winter on your tip, along with the 50C Kennedy from the same set. The 1C was $57 from Jesse James coins!? Oh well, great coin regardless.
The 2017 no-P 1C, love it, bring it on.
Nice one cent collection E 1 and great photos–we like coin photos!
Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations AKBob on the Gold Proof coin and set!
Gotta run, I’m still in KS….
AKBob,
My goodness but are you ever flying high these days! Congrats on all the good coins that have been coming your way and good luck with your ongoing sales that help you fund your desired acquisitions!
E 1,
Gotta love those!
Namaste
E 1,
When it comes to those three Coin Sets shown above, it surely is.
Good luck; the mintmark has been in the master hub for the cents since about 1990. Your most likely find would be a filled die error
So, what’s your deal CaliSkier? Besides being a self-appointed blowhard on this site and a shill for Gatewest?
Boy, can you be any denser, CaliSkier? What do you think US Code is, if not law? Why don’t you goggle it? And while you’re at it, why don’t you review all of the coin and medal design selections that are warehoused within the vast collection of articles on this site. Yes, panels/committees recommend, Sec approves but 99.99% of the time what the panel/committee recommends is what gets approved. Even for the stuff that the Mint seemingly does on its own, there is some enabling legislation giving it that authority. But go ahead and focus on the exception, because that’s… Read more »
Thanks AKBob, I feel lucky for the top grade on that coin. You never know, I was anxious and then high fiving the air when I got the result! That’s my first-First Strike/sealed submission. I’m much more comfortable sending coins in that I’ve already inspected. I’m impressed with the the quality of these expensive coins. And at the same time I’m not impressed with hearing about the poor quality of the (still expensive) Proof sets that Major and Kaiser speak of. If they are giving the higher end coins preferential treatment then that’s a problem big time. It shouldn’t matter… Read more »
Rick,
“Sort of” speaking of which, whatever happened to that proposed and rather much trumpeted 10 point scale we heard a lot about for a while and now seems to be gone?
NGCX, remember they use a 1-10 grading scale for certain bulk label customers..

Rick,
Thanks for the info and for that helpful link. In the “you learn something every day” department, it was actually news to me that other types of collectables are regularly been graded on a ten point scale. How about that.
DaveSWFL said: “473 distinct numismatic products (with more to come!) from a mint whose primary objective is to strike four circulating designs.” There are over 400 numismatic products listed(414?) on this Coin News US Mint Sales report. Mike Unser(CN) states: “In its latest report, the U.S. Mint published sales data for 473 numismatic products.” “True” and are “facts”. Major D said: “The Mint makes what it’s ordered to make by laws and statutes written by Congress. And the designs are chosen by panels.” “FALSE”, not “Facts”! Very “misleading” at a minimum. “The Mint makes what it’s Ordered to make”??? What… Read more »
CaliSkier,
While it is true that each of those hundred or so ancillary products (consisting entirely of Gold Coins and Silver Medals) the United States Mint will be producing were not as such ordered or specified by the United States Congress, that august body has however put a mandate in place that legally constrains the Mint from ever producing anything other than Gold Coins and/or Silver Medals of its own volition.
Perhaps Major D, had you said or written something comparable to: “The Mint makes the products it’s ordered to make by laws and statutes written by Congress”, in addition to the other additional gold coins and silver medals, they have chosen to produce, which have been enabled or authorized through US Code, “31 U.S. Code § 5111”. “And the designs are “reviewed “and chosen by panels.”, however the final design selection, after review and or consultations, is actually made by the Secretary of the Treasury. However, that is NOT what you said, nor implied in your original statement, when taking… Read more »
RicK, thanks for the additional commentary on the PCGS First Strike and Gold Shield labels!
RicH, thanks for letting us know, you’re the proud owner of 1 of only 700, sought after slabs! “PCGS Regency Holder: 1958 Silver 5 lirot Israel Specimen – Danny Kaye PCGS MS67 (Premium Regency Holder). PCGS states that “approximately 700 coins were put into Regency Holders, roughly half of them Israeli coins from the Danny Kaye Collection”.”
Here is a link to the PCGS “Slab Museum”(PCGS Museum of Coin Holders”, in case you missed Rick’s link he posted in a previous thread.
Doh!
https://www.pcgs.com/holdermuseum
CaliSkier,
Thanks for the link. I actually studied that entire lineup of PCGS coin holders!
Here is some clarification on the precious metal weights and values of pre 1965 coins made of silver and gold, specifically the silver $1 and the gold $20 double eagle. The smaller gold and silver coins closely follow these ratios for the most part. I won’t discuss those not following the ratios for this exercise. Since there are some commenters who make general statements, below are the facts and numbers on the silver dollar and gold double eagle, with the math to show the historical silver to gold ratio relationship. . The silver dollar silver weight has historically been 0.77344… Read more »
Sharks2th, thanks for going into greater detail of the historical gold to silver ratios, with an explanation and breakdown of the math, involving the moving parts and pieces!
sharks2th,
Absolutely brilliant explanation; clearly logical, easily comprehensible and wonderfully thorough!
Kaiser Wilhelm said: “While it is true that each of those hundred or so ancillary products (consisting entirely of Gold Coins and Silver Medals) the United States Mint will be producing were not as such ordered” That is what’s being discussed. “Not ordered as such” and or “the Mint makes what it’s ordered to make”. The following part wasn’t part of the problem: “mandate in place that legally constrains the Mint from ever producing anything other than Gold Coins and/or Silver Medals of its own volition.” Kaiser, so what does that have to do with Major D’s statement: “The Mint… Read more »
CaliSkier,
I fully regret having stuck my nose into this discussion; it’s far too heated for either my taste or peace of mind. In fact, I’m not just out of here, I was never here at all.
BTW Kaiser that Austrian 100 Euro, “Wildlife in Our Sights”, Red Deer Au coin, from a few threads back was an awesome coin indeed. Agree that although imaginative the Lion coin you shared, having been colorized, is truly pale by comparison. The 100 Euro Mallard and Wild Boar coins from the same series, are pretty cool as well IMO!
CaliSkier,
I’m glad you see the beauty in these very special Austrian (Vienna Mint) coins as much as I do, my friend. It’s great to be able to share both the extraordinarily varied images of coins and the appreciation thereof because it adds up to a demonstration of a very uplifting and invigorating component of numismatic camaraderie!
Starting to sound like ocd-nutterville.com. Time for a walk about. Be safe y’all.
Later, much later.
Enjoy the Outback. Those whose minds prevail will re-integrate at Java Junction.
I had to skip over most of it, got drowsy.
So I messed around/tweaked my photo of the 1976-S restoration coin(restoration popped the coin outa this world). I’m lucky, I’ve got some pics of my coins on my phone to look at!
You’re right, a new silvery dimension opens up with these beauties.
I can’t tell if I’m looking down onto the coin, or looking up at the coin–3D like.
Thanks for the Kennedy advice.
Have a great walk about!
Nashville to Orlando in the morning!
Peace out to you my friend!
Stunning coin, R to the ick! Holy smokes, unless I’ve missed something, which is quite possible, is this really a 1 of 5 coins achieving this grade, with none finer? Congratulations on owning this fine specimen!
Thanks C to the ali,
You may have missed it. It was a GC auction a few months back, then one of my ‘restoration stories’ which turned out to be a successful endeavor! The coin had some ‘water spotting’ going on and the restoration & re-holdering totally popped the coin imo. I think it’s one of the top eye appeal examples in the grade out there now.
NGC has around 5 coins in a -69 as well?
Rick,
So not only a spectacular coin but a rare one in its grade as well. I would have to say your decision to have it restored more than paid off!
Rick,
Now that’s a beauty of a Silver Bicentennial Kennedy Half Dollar if I ever saw one!
Thank you x 2! That is nice of you to say. I really like the coin very much. It was very expensive and I’m happy with my purchase. It’s a mini treasure for me now, then for my family later!
I’ve said it before, but worth mentioning that my interest in the coin above(and others)stems from inspiration from the extensive E 1 knowledge base and his superb collection of the Kennedy series coins.
The “Coin of the Year”(2023) awards have been announced!(Link below) The United States and US Mints, 2023 Liberty Through Perseverance(American Liberty) takes both the Gold Coin category, as well as overall COTY! Other notable winners(2) were Austria for Best Silver coin 20 Euro, “The Neutron Star” and Best Bimetallic coin, 25 Euro Silver and Niobium, “Global Heating”. Congrats Sir Kaiser! Another winner was a coin, many here have notably expressed a dislike for, was awarded to Canada and the Royal Canadian Mint, for Most Inspirational coin, $50 Silver, “Allegory of Peace”. This is a 5oz coin with a gold plated,… Read more »
Canada’s got a real beauty in the Allegory of Peace coin. Also like the Chinese coin a lot. The fashion coin gets my vote for colorized, which I typically don’t like.
Thanks for the link, Cali
CaliSkier, Vielen Dank which is to say in English many thanks for, well, everything in your comment above. On behalf of the nation of my birth I am grateful to you for mentioning the recognition of Austria’s winning of both the Best Silver Coin for the 20 Euro “Neutron Star” and of the Best Bimetallic Coin for the 25 Euro Silver & Niobium “Global Heating”. Thanks also for the link to that great site which not only explained everything about the various “Best Coin” categories including how the various coins are selected but also showed awesome high definition pictures of… Read more »
Again, Congrats Rick! Looks like a slight “omission” in my statement and should have said: “is this really a 1 of 5 “PCGS” coins achieving this grade, with none finer? I do kind of recall you speaking about this coin. I noticed also a $20,0000 estimated value at PCGS. Care to “tell”/share or give a range of what price the seller and GC achieved, for
your expenditure?
$5300 out the door after the 10% buyer fee. It was good auction timing and the bright light photos highlighted the water spots. I saw a ‘fixer-upper’ restoration in the making and a hidden gem. It worked ! I would hope that it’s now worth double what I forked out, maybe more?
Rick,
I hope you get at least double what you paid when you sell the restored coin!
Major D, I’d like to make an attempt to let bygones be bygones. After, a bit of heartfelt reflection, I haven’t been as typically understanding and compassionate as I know I am and can be. Maybe this is hard to believe, however I’m going to try and not take, “all” of our past transgressions and negative interactions to heart and attempt to let them flow, like “water under a bridge”. Sometimes this is easier said than done, however I believe it’s worth the effort. I am passionate about coins and all that surrounds them, is “my deal”, LOL I’ll attempt… Read more »
Cali, I am very happy that you apologized to Magic D. I’ve been where you are/were before and I know just how hard it is to say “I’m sorry”, especially when you’re very passionate about something. One thing I don’t like about texting, emailing or posting, it’s difficult at times to interpret the emotions and meaning of what you’re trying to say. You can’t see the persons eyes, demeanor, voice inflection or lack of voice inflection, etc. when reading something. Two people can easily interpret it in totally different ways. I don’t think there was any difficulties in interpreting your… Read more »
Well stated, my northern brother.
AKBob, “…we must agree to disagree, I know that sounds simple but it’s actually the way it needs to be. No more and no less. Let’s be forgiving with each other and give one another a little grace. It’s not always easy to be humble…” You may remember how I create and place virtual plaques on the walls of my mind to remind me of some of the most consequential words I hear in the course of my everyday experience. Well, your quote above has just joined the others to bear witness to one of the soundest bits of counsel… Read more »
CaliSkier,
A heartwarming display of awareness, honesty and humility. What more could one ask for?
With the award and recognition given to the 2023 Au American Liberty, for Best in Category(Gold coin) and COTY, will we see a noticeable influx in sales for the $97, “2023-P American Liberty Silver Medal”?(23DB) Also, now wondering if by slim chance the US Mint is possibly “sitting” on another 200-250+ of 2023 Au American Liberty’s? LKS 12,200 of a possible 12,500. Even though I don’t collect medals, I might have considered picking one up, if the current price were $85, or better yet, $79. BTW, I do have a few silver medals. The 2011 W & P, 2011 September… Read more »
Thanks for the link to the Coin of the Year. Very impressive stuff out there. I was really intrigued by the coin from Cameroon. Summarian theme with the letters of the different alphabets on the reverse. Great job on that coin and the others.
East Coast Guru,
It’s nice to see I’m not the only one who was blown away by that Cameroon Reverse!
CaliSkier,
I too got somewhat tempted anew about picking this up after finding out this was now the silver companion medal to the Best Coin and Best Gold Coin in the world. But, for better or for worse, I fought off the desire by reminding myself this is a medal and not a coin, besides which it doesn’t even come in a clamshell. For shame!
Embedded deep within, Rick brings another amazing picture to the “fold”! In my best “Jeff Spicoli” impression, “Dude, totally awesome”! “ Well Rick(Stu) I’ll tell you, coin and currency collecting’s(surfing’s) not a sport, it’s a way of life, it’s no hobby. It’s a way of looking at that $500 bill(wave) and saying, “Hey bud, let’s party!” Again, totally awesome! For any interested, here is a link covering the $500 from the US Gold Bureau website. “ IS THERE A 500 DOLLAR BILL?” PS Other than “not” landing on “STOP”, unless I stumble upon a leprechaun at the base of a… Read more »
CaliSkier,
Who knows, in some as yet unknowable version (hopefully not all that dystopian version) of the future Monopoly Money may well be the only currency to pass for legal tender.
Good article about the $500 bill.
No, it’s not mine. Although I wish I had one!
I was attempting to challenge Kaiser that his statement “a maximum face value of $100 is that circulating US paper currency has that limit also.” didn’t make sense to me, so I snagged a pic of a (former)circulating paper currency higher than $100…
I’m sure Kaiser will school/scold me regarding my reading comprehension!?
Go easy on me Kaiser!
Rick,
No lashes with a wet noodle today, my friend. As a matter of fact we are both on the beam here because while the $500 bill is no longer in circulation as such it is still accepted as legal tender. There you are, a win-win situation for once. Glory be!
Indeed, Sir Kaiser, the United States no longer issues bills in larger denominations, such as $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 bills; But they are still legal tender and may still be in circulation.
Rich,
Hey, this is like table tennis aka ping pong; I hit one across the table and then you hit one back and so on ad infinitum. Anyway, why don’t we simply stipulate that while all four of those bills were officially discontinued on July 14, 1969, they are still legal tender except with the codicil in place that anyone spending one of these at face value is forgoing whatever profit comes with selling them as a collectable.
