Jim Cramer says 10% max. Link Forbes says 5%-15% max. Link Provident says as much as 20%. And they sell precious metals! Link The Street says 5%-10% max. Link Marketwatch.com says 4%. Link So you go ahead and do 25% minimum.

10 raw silver eagles will undoubtedly get you more per ounce than a generic 10 ounce bar.

Why do you keep comparing graded eagles to bullion?? NOWHERE does the OP say anything about graded eagles.

I'm not even talking about graded coins. So you mean to tell me you are actually comparing a single silver eagle to a 10 ounce bar? Nowhere on this planet will 20 raw silver eagles a year cost $2,000. You are comparing raw eagles to graded eagles to 10 ounce bars. Your argument does not hold water. Also, it is not "typical" for 10 ounce bars to have serial numbers. Some of the higher end collectible bars will, like Engelhard. But most definitely will not.

I'm sorry, but this is a ridiculous statement. Silver eagles will always maintain a higher premium than a generic bar of silver, especially a 10 ounce bar. If the value of the 10 ounce bar rises, the silver eagle will rise at a rate at LEAST commensurate to that of the bar.

Zero chance this happened.

Having not seen the obverse, you would have to ask yourself why the seller has not submitted it for grading.

Literally two posts above yours:

I would like to see a series featuring scientists/inventors. People who have truly contributed to bettering our lives. Einstein, Tesla, Curie, Turing, Newton, Darwin, Hawking, Galileo to name a few. (Edison if you have to, but at a lower denomination than the rest lol.) Even some of the old school thinkers. DaVinci, Michelangelo, Aristotle, Archimedes etc.

You don't have to be careful about what you read. It's what you believe where prudence is best exercised.

Relax bro.

Whelp, there they are. The proofs:

Then there are those over there that literally post something in every damn thread, and most times it adds nothing to the thread. (The guy with the 85,000+ posts over there.)

Agreed. More junk. And here come the proofs, the reverse proofs, enhanced finishes. How long before they issue a special edition gold peace or Morgan dollar.

I'm confused. Are you calling me a troll?

Yep, the political stuff is big. A friend of mine runs St. Louis Mint and they just announced a pre-order on Facebook for "Let's Go Brandon" custom one ounce bars. He sold over 700 of them in less than 24 hours.

What do you mean "you people"? I'm just a poster on this forum. I'm just relaying information that has been posted by employees of NGC time after time. You could very well be right and they are blowing smoke up my arse. I have no clue. If you have a beef take it up with NGC.

Well here is another thread where she says the post office box is on site, and that there is an office there for the post office. So semantics I guess. Thank you. Our Post Office box is actually located at our facility. We have an office here on site for the post office. Thank you, Lisa Thread

I have no idea. See the post in this thread by Lisa. They have their own post office on site. Lisa's quote:: Hello, Just to let you know, we have our own Post Office on site with postal workers. All mail is delivered to us directly, we do not pick up the mail. We have a big back log of mail. We are behind scanning orders as delivered. If you package shows "Delivered" I'm sure it is here in the building waiting to be opened. Link to Thread

Perhaps, but Ali was online dealing with the registry requests, so wouldn't really make sense.

Never heard of that. NGC literally has a post office in their building.

Welcome fellow NE Ohioan! Ensure your NGC Registry set is at its best by 10 a.m. ET on December 1, 2021, to be automatically considered for awards and more than $30,000 in prizes. Winners will be announced January 7, 2022. Link

If you are going for a toned set, it's all personal choice on what you like. Even if you weren't, and were jsut going for a full set of Morgans, well, some guys like blast white coins, and won't consider anything but. It's really a matter of personal preference. But a full set of Morgans, at MS65, and toned, is going to be really expensive. Sure you will be able to knock out quite a few, but the harder date/mintmark/toned/MS65 combos are going to be ridiculously expensive. The toner market can be insane. Add that to one of the most popular sets to collect out there, and well....

Nevermind, I misread your question.

2021 is not a good year for the mint in regards to quality and customer service.
