    NEXT YEAR?

    Marked as "received" last month. Express was 8 days, went to 10, and is now 9 for US coins. I hope it isn't "lost".

    NEXT YEAR?

    With a turn around time (Modern) of 45 days, my submission will arrive next year. Between the Mint taking 2 weeks to ship, the Post Office taking almost 2 weeks to deliver(first class), First and Early releases can be forgotten. I see the times have been shortened by over a week....I'm hopeful. I'd be happy with the coins, truthfully. Good Luck everyone!
  3. In 1986, I started an American Silver Eagle set for my son to inherit someday. I started with the MS set and my first coin was purchased from TV sales. After a few years, I was able to start a proof set, and the collection expanded. I have been fortunate enough to maintain these sets through the years, but not without losing coins due to slot eliminations in the Registry. Everyone had to have the 2000 "Millennium" slab. Now it's history. A few others also. Now sets are being created for reverse proof, FDOI, anniversary, or whatever. This year we lose the heraldic reverse on the Eagle, yet gain another landing. I understand 1 MS coin for each type. I understand 1PF coin for each type. I can eve stretch and understand a reverse issue for each type. There are now 6 slots in the Registry, and still no mention of the reverses. The Mint even has "emergency" issues. What emergency? 2009 was a slight emergency. My 2009 proof is missing! Stolen silver shipment. No more silver bullion to San Francisco. All bullion coins are minted at West Point, NY. Why can't we go back to the original 2 yearly issues, or add the RP as a third? 10? This is becoming a financial endeavor rather than a pleasant hobby. It should be about a few coins, not hands full of money. I am certain the flack is coming, but it won't be the first time. I enjoy collecting, I enjoy the competition. I like the people I have met here through the years. I just think it may have gotten a bit out of hand. HAPPY COLLECTING!

    OWNER COMMENTS

    Every time I receive a new addition, I fill out all of the form, including owner comments on the registered coin. Reviewing my #1 set is has slipped to #2. How? I check, and the owner comments have been deleted. For 20 minutes I have tried to edit it and replace the missing comment. I fill in the box, hit save, and absolutely nothing. Anyone have a clue? Maybe it's got a virus?
  7. ALL BULLION COINS ARE STRUCK AT WEST POINT, NY. 2009 WAS THE FIASCO!
  8. They(eBay) certainly take a large chunk out of my bottom line when I sell a coin. It's becoming a break even arrangement. The dealers I have worked with for years, will be history. Coins are getting out of sight on price today anyway. I don't need a silver Eagle without a (P) mint mark either. What's wrong with the West Point strike without the (W)?
  9. I was fortunate enough to have purchased the 2019 enhanced SAE on opening day. I sent it in sealed mint packaging for the FDOI label and the COA number. I am now told I cannot get a FDOI label. Why? If there was a 1 per household limit, did dealers send these in bulk to obtain one? Here is just one listing from a familiar place: “2019 S SILVER EAGLE REVERSE ENHANCED NGC PF 70 FIRST DAY OF ISSUE 5826281-003 OGP AND COA INCLUDED” More than 10 available? I rest my case.
