2010 Silver Eagles... HERe WE GO AGAIN!!
I am completely and utterly ****ed that I see (AGAIN) Smilin Bob
Chambers offering 2010 "first day release" Silver eagles. WTF!!!! I am seriously contemplating canceling all my subscriptions to the US Mint. This is the second year in a row that they have received their Eagles while the public gets Zilch. Do we (as small collectors) have to order "Green Boxes" now to make sure we get our eagles and why have a subscription to the US Mint when they prefer to sell to dealers first? Doesn't sound fair to me... |

Doesn't sound fair to me... As far as I know, we collectors have never been able to order bullion Unc silver eagles directly from the Mint. And what's the panic to get them anyway? Have you ever seen a shortage of any date? There likely will be plenty 2010's for sale in a few months at around twenty bucks as usual. You aren't seriously looking for slabbed "first day release" bullion coins, are you? If you're somebody who can discern any difference (no peeking at the slab label or at the price on your receipt), you should consider becoming a diamond cutter. |

If one set of dies was used for the entire run of coins, then the so-called "First Strike" or "Early Release" slabs might have some value but since dies are constantly changed, it renders such slabs as a mere marketing scam IMO. |

Regardless, the unc's are still strictly bullion coins. Why anyone would seek out and pay a premium for a "first strike" example seems like a fool's errand to me. But then I collect and pay serious money for beer cans. |

No, I am not collecting slabbed coins, I never got my 2009 UNC silver eagle from the mint and I am on the subsciption list. My complaint is that, It seems that all the dealer get their hands on these coins before the general public. The Mint calims it has to meet the demand of the public and in 2009 they did not. |

There you have the answer to your question! You aren't seriously looking for slabbed "first day release" bullion coins, are you?

No, I am not collecting slabbed coins, I never got my 2009 UNC silver eagle from the mint and I am on the subsciption list. And you will never receive one *directly* from the Mint even if you are on their subscription list;-) My complaint is that, It seems that all the dealer get their hands on these coins before the general public. The Mint calims it has to meet the demand of the public and in 2009 they did not. You must understand what Bruce wrote: UNC Silver Eagles were *never* sold by the Mint directly to the public! They are sold to the public exclusively through dealers! You are probably confusing them with the UNC "burnish" Silver Eagles and/or the Proof Silver Eagles. rgrds -- E' mai possibile, oh porco di un cane, che le avventure in codesto reame debban risolversi tutte con grandi puttane!

If he had been getting "Unc" silver eagles from the Mint in the past, they must have been the premium-priced burnished Unc specimens. So maybe there's little advantage to being on the Mint's subscription list if one has to wait to see if items are going to be shipped automatically before complaining. Plus, I presume a Mint subscriber has to pay shipping for each item sent, rather than simply wait a few months and order several items at once for the one shipping price. |
