Yes you might get lucky and hit a ms70 and make a good profit off of someone that believes in the grading slabs adding value. But the only way you will really be able to capitalize on these 5 oz coins is long term when silver hits $70.00+. The grading companies have been pushing plastic slabs since 1980s and more so when PCGS falsely claimed that they were the first grading company in the 90s. Some how some way and mostly through authorized dealer cooperation have these high grade slabs taken so much money out of the pockets of unknowing coin collectors that it has all but ruined the hobby IMHO. Coin collecting used to be all about history and beauty and the actual coin. Now it has fallen victim to the greed of the grading companies with their false claimed price guides and Authorized dealers who peddle this garbage that ultimately ruins a coin long term. Go with OGP and look long term and enjoy your coins and the history they provide to the up coming generations. Just my 2 cents worth. I prefer to spend my money were it is best appreciated.

Today's fixes were both above $1,500, but low enough that a couple of fixes around $1,490 would pull the average down enough to make a decrease feasible. The big disadvantage working against us this period is the fact that the average could fall below $1,500, but all it takes to prevent a price drop is the Wednesday PM fix to rebound enough to be at $1,500 or more. That would be a kick in the head if that happened.<br /><br />If we miss a price drop next week, I'll probably just have to fork over the extra $75 for my three coins and be done with it. I don't want to receive someone else's reject coins.

Nothing about that part of the process has changed since the Mint switched to PBGS.<br /><br />I wonder how many people will be ordering the Grand Canyon coin today along with their proof silver eagle? I'm curious to see if the 15 day sellout pattern will hold. It seems less likely due to the ease of ordering yesterday, but since their is a comfort zone in ordering time it would make sense anyone who wanted both the Grand Canyon coin and the proof silver eagle would hold off ordering an extra day to save the extra $4.95 shipping charge. I would have done it if I had planned to buy a proof silver eagle, but since I don't collect those I just ordered my Grand Canyon coin yesterday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-38576096655792519762011-06-30T07:30:08.654-07:002011-06-30T07:30:08.654-07:00My ATB order has changed from suspended to on hold...My ATB order has changed from suspended to on hold and the expected ship date has changed from 6/30 to 7/1 and I would expect it to change to 7/2 tomorrow and increment one day every day until the coin ships. PBGS is playing games with in stock information to make it look like they do a better job with shipping than they really do. My ASEs (already ordered via subscription) show an expected ship date of 7/15 but i expect that date to start slipping once the coins go on sale. The thing that really bugs me is that with the ATBs, the coins were in stock long before going on sale and there is no reason that they could not ship the day of ordering on one day after. Why it takes PBGS many days to ship coins from stock is a mystery and the fact that they lie about their stock doesn't help at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-25490652609926956562011-06-30T05:55:16.887-07:002011-06-30T05:55:16.887-07:00I'm thinking more along the lines that the val...I'm thinking more along the lines that the value of these coins will be tied mostly to the value of the silver they contain.
