    I think it is clear that there is more money in collecting labels than in collecting coins.

    I never would have imagined there would be trolley labels, autograph labels, First Day labels… it is literally the combination of coins and baseball cards. I don’t like it at all. I will never put any real money into that game. (65 vs. 66 vs. 66+ CAC).

  4. MarkInFlorida says

    The breast cancer unc 50¢ sold less than 2% of the authorized mintage. Someone isn’t doing their job. Hope they didn’t mint them all.

  5. Jeffrey R says

    @MarkInFlorida
    I don’t know why they just don’t drop the Kennedy half and issue into circulation the commemorative for that year. It would make collecting more interesting to the general public.

  6. Caliskier says

    @ Jeffrey, not a bad idea per say, however since the Kennedy Half has not been issued for circulation since 2001, that is highly unlikely. People won’t carry change at all right now, so who wants a heavy Keenedy half or other(commemorative) floating around in their purses or pockets???

  7. Caliskier says

    Basically, CC’s have kept an entire generation from seeing, handling or caring about change or what their change even looks like!

    How could anyone possibly be texting, looking at what the design is on the $.25 or $.50 they received in thier change, while getting that first sip of your fresh Starbucks, while profiling the person sitting in the corner minding their own business???

  8. John Q. Coinage says

    CAg, someone is stuck with it now!! Wow, labels deluxe it seems & a “+” = $$$$$$$$$ IMHO the latest generation of PCGS coins is overgraded in general & seems to have alot of cleaned coins not hitting body bags or authentic holders, early 19th cet. & even later obviously cleaned stuff is now slabbed by PCGS w/o comment- many times it seems. Re-slab $$ makes it too attractive for some, or I can just try real hard & put a sharp + on mu new stuff…

    20th Century says today11/12, 2 threads previous: “Of course gold will go down…I just bought two 2018 1/2 oz Gold Proof Eagles(my 1st purchase of gold eagles from the mint since 2010)”

    I guess you must have picked those up a little bit ago? The 2018 PF 1/2 oz AGE, hasn’t been available(10/26 @ least) online for close to 3 weeks or more.

  10. Caliskier says

    Finding a 2018 1/2 oz PF AGE in OGP right now is proving elusive. This coin can be found of course in the 4 coin set and if one can afford, this is the better deal, premium wise.

    Cag says: “UNBELIEVABLE HOW LONG THE MINT IS GOING TO KEEP THE 2016s…”

    What part to you is the unbelievable part?

    Mine is how many coins were struck/over struck(not the error), way over the demand, that the Mint has basically been IMO having to continue selling, in order to minimize the number they have to melt/destroy? Someone’s estimations were way off for 2016 &2017 and they’re still sitting on too many AGE’s!

    If the 2018 1/2 oz PF AGE, goes back on sale immediately after Dec 31st, that would tell me they pulled this issue to try and sell as many 2016’s /2017’s before they are forced to take the hit and melt down there remaining inventory(2016).

    If that happens, stick a fork in my purchases, excluding finishing off the ATB 5oz series! For me that would just be the last straw of many, regarding Mint sales practice, tactics, customer service, shipping issues, quality control, gimmicks, premiums, etc, etc…..

  19. cagcrisp says

    @Caliskier says, “CAG, says: “UNBELIEVABLE HOW LONG THE MINT IS GOING TO KEEP THE 2016s…”

    What part to you is the unbelievable part?”

    What is Unbelievable is that the Mint has carried over excess inventory on a Lot of products in the past but they’ve never carried over American Gold Eagles this long before.

    I treat Gold on a completely different level than clads and Silver.

    I don’t care if they carry over Anything…as long as it’s Not Gold…

  20. Caliskier says

    Alright Cag, your numbers show the Mint sold a total of 23, 2017 PF 1/2 oz AGE’’ and 7, 2016 PF 1/2 oz AGE’s on the latest sales report. 30 total coins. Both issues are currently showing a minimum of 99 in stock on the Mints website. Heading towards the 12/21/31 end of sales for both the 2016 & 2017 AGE PF’sto me will prove interesting? Not to mention what the Mint does or doesn’t do with the 2018 PF AGE’s?

    How many did they Mint and how long until those sell enough to warrant pulling the plug in 2019, 2020, etc???

    Hmmm… somewhere I read something about mintages and aftermarket values……..ponder….? Haha(Cag)

  21. John Q. Coinage says

    Cag & Cali, the aftermarket for these proof coins is weak @ present, the biguns sold out 1z proofs @ $25 over spot, similar discounts for all others in caps only. Cag, th uSM may say that the 2o16 is actually a 2019 with an inverted 9 to sellinto 2o19……hmmmmm The # of collectors with the deaire & money to collect these AG Proofs is small……..I have some 1/2z but the last I got was when they cost about $435 before the AGrun up…..@ least they are “last chance”……..

  22. Caliskier says

    I would find it interesting to know how much of a loss exactly, per recycled/melted AGE productive mint takes? Melting/recycling//destroying both the medal, packaging, plus labor/overhead to produce???? Yes I’m aware they re-melt and make new blanks. That, however has cost involved beyond what cost was originally incurred.

    Security for transportation to and from refinery, etc, the whole enchilada/kitten kaboodle!

    Why, one may ask? The reason is, that if the cost of doing this is more than $50/product, they’d be better off coming up with a “VERYLAST CHANCE SALE” and offer old/out of date/expiring AGE products each year beginning Jan 1st and going either for 2 weeks or throughout the month, where they offer up remaining AGE stock, at 1 price tier lower(pricing grid) versus taking the hit and destroying vs selling! Then melt away and be done with the remains. Also perhaps that would help with minimizing losses and better handling the following years inventory and manufacturing?

    As there isn’t much incentive for the Mint to over produce and would hopefully force them to better monitor mfg.,, forecasts, expectations, sales, etc???

  23. Caliskier says

    Right now, there really isn’t much in the way of OGP 2012, 2013, or 2018 PF 1/2 oz AGE’s to be found/bought? Most are slabbed and are going for roughly current($807.00) issue price for PF 69 and roughly, $100-$200 +, for PF70’s.

    If the Mint has been listening and the 2018 AGE’s happen to be where they draw the line(mintages) and end of sales based on demand, IMO this would potentially help them get a better handle on REALLY how many AGE collectors are out there? The 2018 went on sale in March? So 10-12 months ago by years end. You’re not suddenly going to have a bunch of collectors come in and buy up inventory, so why would you mfg, that much inventory and be sitting on it, for years on end???

    I know it’s a bummer, however it may be time for a real audit of how the US Mint does business? Times/technologhy have/has changed! Demand is down and it’s time for them to slim down? You just can’t make tons of inventory that you know, no one is going to buy, just to keep people employed and getting enough hours! I don’t want people to lose jobs, however this is a waste of time, money, resources, etc to be so far off in your sales forecasts that your products or overproduced product is celebrating its 3rd birthday by stamped date! (2016 AGE product) I realize no body has ever accused the Government of being, fiscally responsible, however just because each year, you end up with a surplus to turn over to the US Treasury, doesn’t mean there can’t additional cost savings to be had by running a tighter ship? Just saying……

  24. says

    Here’s the Problem I have with the 2016s and 2017s Still Available….

    (These numbers do Not include mintages from the 4 coin set)

    2013 1 oz. Proof Gold 16,832
    2014 1 oz. Proof Gold 19,942
    2015 1 oz. Proof Gold 22,734
    2016 1 oz. Proof Gold 24,272 and Counting
    2017 1 oz. Proof Gold 9,096 and Counting
    2018 1 oz. Proof Gold 5,401 and Counting

    2013 1/2 oz. Proof Gold 4,839
    2014 1/2 oz. Proof Gold 5,832
    2015 1/2 oz. Proof Gold 5,902
    2016 1/2 oz. Proof Gold 6,039 and Counting
    2017 1/2 oz. Proof Gold 2,642 and Counting
    2018 1/2 oz. Proof Gold 1,807 Currently Unavailable

    …SO…Sales were going Up y/y and then…..They Stopped going Up y/y and came to a screeching Halt

    The Mint Guessed Wrong on 2016 and Hopefully they cut back for 2017 and by the 2018 1/2 oz. Proof Gold being CU, my assumption would be that the cut back drastically for 2018

    Here’s the Problem I have with the 2016s and 2017s Still Available….

    Just how many more 2016s are out there? Shouldn’t be very many

    IF the Mint didn’t catch there Mistake until 2017 we will have a BOATLOAD of sales (Especially the 2017 1 oz. Proof Gold) left on the 2017s….

  26. Caliskier says

    @ 20th, due to cost shown, I’m going to assume we are still talking 2018 PF 1/2 oz AGE’s? If so you were quite lucky in your timing, as sales shows zero to as many as 8 sold over the past 3 sales reports.

    They’ve been listed as “Currently Unavailable” for close to 3 weeks or more based on a post by Cag? Perhaps 4 + weeks? I was really stoked when I located mine by calling the Denver Mint gift shop at the end of October.

  27. 20th Century Variety Collector says

    Oops, yes (2) 2018 w 1/2 oz PROOF gold eagles, free shipping.
    I guess I got in when the window opened??
    I don’t buy these, but someone on this site mentioned that they were low in sales. I noticed that too, so I happened to buy 2 since I just paid off my credit card. I guess I got lucky?? Time will tell 🙂

  28. 20th Century Variety Collector says

    @ caliskier
    I think you were the one who mentioned the “Last Chance”…that got me REMEMBERING what happened when they announced “Last Chance” and some items disappeared that weren’t on the list. I made a lot of profit from the 87 REVERSE proof I sold, had a message from the bank showing my payment went through(credit card paid off), so I went looking on the US Mint site on a Sunday(Nov 4th). I sat there for around 3 minutes debating if I should buy them(one for each niece). I thought…what the heck, I made $3,800 on the REVERSE proof sets, hit the add to cart 🙂
    We’ll see what happens. Both have a VERY small white speck on the obverse that I hope I can blow off before I submit them…should go PR70 if removed…coins look great!

    In a live interview on Bloomberg with Mike Corbat, Citigroup CEO, the question was asked about how long it would be before credit cards go away.

    Dan Schulman, CEO of PayPal, had previously said “There will be no credit cards in 20 years” and others had said there would no credit cards in 5-10 years.

    Mike Corbat answered the question “The piece of plastic is going away”…

  31. Caliskier says

    The Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore 2018 Uncirculated Five Ounce Silver Coin is down to 83 left in stock and the Ozark National Scenic Riverways 2017 Uncirculated Five Ounce Silver Coin is down to the last 14 coins. If you were thinking maybe? You’d better pull the proverbial trigger!

    Seems, at least for now the Mint magic number on these is roughly, 17,650-17,700 & done if not sooner.

    Although a few others in the series have similar mintages, the 2017 George Rogers Clark Silver 5-oz. Unc. Coin is an exception, selling out at 14,731.

  32. Caliskier says

    I really like the 5 oz P ATB’s. One main reason is I don’t need magnification to see details and enjoy the artwork! I love the great outdoors and I find this series, very appealing!

    IMO, they could re-release the ATB series in a PF finish and do quite well on a sell through with a set mintage of 7500-10,000 max mintage of each issue? Perhaps a mintage of 12,500-15,000, if ithe premium to spot price, could be lowered, that would help sell through and perceived value and an extension of the Olive Branch towards us collectors, whom seemingly nit-pick(yes, I’m one of em’) the US Mint and it’s business practices.

    Gold = $1340.00
    Silver = $19.75
    10 year = 1.3759 % ALL TIME RECORD LOW
    30 year = 2.1532 % Close to Record Low

    NOW….You can get a 3 month Treasury Bill that pays 2.376%
