Oops is right! Jimbo? Do you have a question or statement? We don't have the crystal ball anymore. It was dropped and became Post Mint Damage.

[Jimbo]

Hey Daniel, how do I eliminate the first picture of the vehicle? I made a mistake posting that picture.

[Jimbo]

How do I eliminate pictures here?

[Jimbo]

Just delete the account I don’t wanna be here anymore!!!!

Jimbo, on the first message of this thread, you will see an icon as a pencil,
Click on it, edit your message, and remove the picture. I've never done this, but I think that's how it's done...
Let us know how it goes...

[Jimbo]

How in the blazes do I delete the picture? I am so upset that it’s up there for security reasons. Could you please remove!!’nn

Your forum is very difficult to navigate or control!!!’

Navigating here is somewhat difficult at first. There is a learning curve, be patient please.
You have to use the edit button to delete posts if it possible. Some website forums are only operated by Administrators as far as deleting posts.
We will miss you if you do decide to leave,

It's gone now

Also please remember we are in different time zones and come here at different times during the day. No one is here 24/7 so please understand it may take awhile until someone sees what you write/ask.

Also, there is no need to delete anything anyways. I have made a lot of mistakes here and leave them up so the thread makes sense to those who come in the future who have similar coins they are finding answers for.

I agree that when starting out any forum is not always intuitive. Something I did not understand when starting on forums was that the forum owner does not make the basic format. Forums use software they get online and are at the mercy of the software as to how the format operates. There is a lot of customization admins can do, but the basics (such as how the software chooses to upload pictures, etc.) are not something we can change.

The weird thing is we have a lot of helps already such as the bright pink, meant to be eye catching, button at the top of every screen entitled "How To Make A New Post," as well as the huge pink box of guidelines at the top. But we humans tend not to read instructions (note I included myself), so very few people ever use these helps before posting.

ADmittedly though, after being an admin here, the very first thing I do when going onto a new forum is immediately read the guidelines and their "How To Post" info! :LAUGHING-ROLLING:

I guess the emergency production in Philadelphia doesn’t really mean a whole lot?
I mean employees got Covid and they shut down the whole plant…
Does this history benefit this Coin?
And we have a whole tube sealed with receipt. Stating it’s from Philadelphia monster box from “bullying exchanges.”
Is that worth any money keeping… or should I send them to get graded?

[Earle42]

or should I send them to get graded?

Since we have given you the details about what grading is actually all about, it now is up to you to do the math on costs etc., and see whether or not you will come out ahead.

The gimmicky label offerings such as "first Strike" etc.a were created to get people to do exactly what you are asking about: spend more money for the company to slab coins. It is all about M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G.

In the long run, the companies are the ones who make money by dreaming up special labels such as this. For example, I have a slabbed 1884-O Morgan Dollar that was gifted to me. The label says the coin is from the Olathe Silver Dollar Hoard.

I know...what was the Olathe Hoard? Yet when that hoard was found, the grading company marketers made a big deal out of it and offered, for a fee of course, to put that onto the label.

And just how much does that special label now bring seeing the coin is a genuine one form the Olate Hoard?

SOLD ebay prices for a normal 1884-) in MS 64 and one slabbed as being from the Olate Hoard are the same price. So the only extra money involved in this label was when the company suckered (oops, did I type that "out loud?") someone to pay a higher price for a slab that would never be worth anything more (after the initial hype from marketing slowed down).

And yes, if a bullion dealer thinks they can charge someone a little more by using a similar marketing technique, then of course they will also use a gimmick.

Putting it another way...just how many people do you think are out there who really care whether or not their silver dollar was part of the Olathe Hoard? Finding the hoard was not a landmark event in American history that made headlines in the NY Times. In fact i would have to suggest most people reading this have to look up the Olathe Hoard to see what it was as well as have to look up why some marketer would call a silver eagle an emergency release (catchy name for marketing also eh?).

No, not really. This is one of the highest mintage years. Grading companies print cool looking or interesting sounding labels to make the coins more appealing to buy. There's nothing inherently more valuable about the coin itself than any other silver eagle. The one in the flag slab might go for $60 or so. Also "first day of release" is different than their "early release." I don't know if anyone cares about that detail, but I'm willing to bet that it doesn't mean anything. The mint probably makes millions of these over a period of time, then offers them all for release on a given day. Your coin isn't guaranteed to be struck on the first day of production. It was just in the gripe that was given out on release day. If it were a first day of production, the slab would definitely advertise that instead. I personally collect stuff like that, but only if it's government packaged, and the mint says it's so, like this here:

If it don't say that ^ then there's nothing official about it. It's carefully fabricated advert phrasing. "Emergency Production"... yeah, it was struck during a national emergency. You can put that on the slab, and that's all it has to mean. It's not a lie, but it makes it sound more special than it is. And then "first day of production" we already went over. Words used to sensationalize an otherwise run of the mill item.

So in conclusion you should know that you have to pay extra for the flag slab, if they even offer it. You won't get the advertising phrasing on there because that offer has long passed. And you'll end up spending more money than what you'll ever sell them for. What's neat is you already have one of the cool flag slabs with a 2020 example to look at, and then a sealed roll as investment. The only way you're gonna increase the value is keeping that roll sealed with the receipt for a long time. Someone eventually might pay a premium on that.

In fact i would have to suggest most people reading this have to look up the Olathe Hoard to see what it was.

Yeah... I have no idea what the Olathe hoard was.

[Jimbo]

lol I’m definitely looking up”Olathe Hoard ”
We only buy coins that need to be proven in slabs…
Personally, We like to feel the weight in the hand.
with gloves, of course!!
Just curious, was there other “emergency productions”?
Other than 2020???

[Jimbo]

The Olathe Dollar Hoard was a hoard of 25 original bags of dollars found in a bank in Kansas in 2009. Most likely acquired from the Treasury disbursal from the early 1960's
Apmex has that coin for $100…..

[Westin]

Yes, 2021 also. I reccomend this short article:

They're selling right now on ebay from $80-90 on average. APMEX is usually high. Not as high as PCGS price guide though. They have it labeled as $125

[Jimbo]

Okay so. How about that 2024 silver eagle with the star privy?
Is that a gimmick? Kind of like tha “ V-45” World War II victory stamp?

Well the mint actually did something to make the coin different. You'll have to look at the mintages and ask yourself if the price people are charging for it is fair. Like if they only made 40,000 of them then it'll be a hot collectable.
