Of the box only 244 graded 70,

Only.  There are 500 coins in the box so 49% of the box graded MS-70.  There were 479 boxes.  So if this box was "average" there is a potential for 116,000 MS-70 "emergency" coins and 122,000 MS-69 or less.

Im completely new to this coin buying hobby & would appreciate any feedback. I bought the 2020 P emergency coin & am wondering if it was a gd buy. I paid $99.00 from a show I saw on TV. I also ordered the TYPE 1 & 2, 2021 coins. Any advice?

Yes, keep reading these forums.xD

You'll learn alot and that is far more important than whether you overpaid on a $99 purchase or not.  Ultimarely, that will keep you in the game as we have ALL made dumb, overpriced purchases of one type or another over the years.

General rule, anything you buy from a TV program will be at least twice the retail value.

You’re lucky if it’s only 2x. 3x is more usual.

Can a coin with a population of more than five (still) accurately be described as rare? Of course. A coin which is one of two hundred forty thousand? Of course not. 

I believe the mintage of '09 "S" V.D.B. cents runs twice that and have always been considered scarce, no?

The coins sold by Rick Tomaska generally are selling for 25-35% over FMV.

I trust Tomaska's coins and prices over the other TV shows. You will pay a premium and I have never bought anything from him but I don't see him as a total crook. Of course he's trying to make his bucks, aren't we all? He knows more about coins than most people on this message board, including me.

I actually can't blame him for the prices.  And I agree, compared to others, he's much more honest and upfront.

He has costs to air the programs...create the infomercial....overhead  etc.  They ARE informative, especially for novices/newbies.  My only problem is he talks about buying the coins in bulk and getting a great discount for the buyers, who may not realize they are paying a premium. 

I would rather he talk up the mystery, history, and great look of the (Saint/Liberty) coins and just ignore the cost.  Plus, with the internet, it might not be that difficult for anybody under the age of 75 to check the FMV.

All these "emergency issues" are really muddying the waters for collectors like me. Way too many of these emergency issues, hard to keep up and make good buying decisions.

Not sure I understand...what "emergency issues" are you talking about ?

This would almost exclude me as the internet is mostly unknown to me, thankfully I have a grand-daughter who is well versed but not always available.🤣.

Well, you're here.....xD

Would you check the price of something like that if you were on the fence about buying a coin or just go ahead and buy it ?  How would you check the price (besides asking your granddaughter to check xD) ?

You are a complete insufficiently_thoughtful_person. You are like the Trumptards who think they know more about everything (like their master). If their is no rarity of ANY ASE coin as you claim, go build a complete set or two of ASE's in high quality MS70 and then a complete set of high quality PF70's and we will wait for your results. By the way you other minions need to educate yourselves about who is grading/selling what.........PCGS is also grading these "emergency" ASE's under their "Premier" label and they are selling for around $299, so quit your whining about NGC grading these coins. What a bunch of whiners.

Not really interested in an "emergency" ASE coin myself, but to slam the whole concept that others may like is absurd.

This is so cute lol

A good read about the overly hyped 2014 Kennedy gold coin.

https://www.coinworld.com/news/precious-metals/2014-kennedy-drove-collectors-insane-realized-one-thousand-four-hundred-forty-one-great-collections.html

There isn't a collector alive anywhere who can look you in the eye and truthfully say he has never [or never would] suffer a similar fate.
