I receive 1 or 2 of the annual OGP Silver Eagles by subscription, and also pick up a 70 grade slab from MCM or whom ever to keep up with the series. I don't bother with the Congrats or Special Ed. Coin because it's the same thing under another wrapper- and so are the "Hoard" issues. Will these 'rare finds' amount to anything? Who cares, it's not like finding bags of Morgan's.
I can understand the value to the Mints' Bottom Line, all of which has No good meaning for the true Collector. Compared to the old established practice of melting down unsold stock for remanufacture, which also keeps Mintage totals down, versus selling at Retail, makes it more attractive, especially if you're now colluding with dealers and Graders to Buy 'em up in bulk, and certify them as Whores . . I mean Hoards? Are we to thank Mr. Trumps 'Grand Menush' for this insight? I believe we are witnessing that 2020 will be going out with a BANG, as the Mint shoots itself in the foor!
