- - 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! (http://goldismoney.info/forums/showthread.php?t=341341)

6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Check this out http://mintnewsblog.blogspot.com/200...agle-gold.html Quote:
The start of sales for the US Mint's 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin is fast approaching, but that doesn't necessarily mean you will receive your coin any time soon. While poking around the US Mint's website, I managed to find the unreleased product page for the Ultra High Relief, which includes this statement: The United States Mint will accept orders beginning on January 22, 2009 at 12:00 noon (ET). Orders will be processed on a first-in, first-out basis, and could potentially take up to six to nine months to complete based on gold blank availability. When I previewed the Ultra High Relief back in mid-December, I had mentioned the possibility that the US Mint might be having trouble obtaining gold blanks, which could lead to a delayed launch and/or household ordering limit. It appears that rather than delaying the launch, the US Mint will simply delay shipping some orders for six to nine months. I think many would have preferred a delayed launch. In addition to the delayed shipping, the US Mint will be implementing a household ordering limit of one per customer. You can view the US Mint's product page here, which also includes a price for the coin of $1,189.00. Under the new pricing policy this is based on the $800.00 to $849.99 gold price tier. The delayed shipping combined with the household limit will complicate the launch and may leave many frustrated. Waiting six to nine months for an order to arrive might be more than some customers are willing to endure. Coin dealers may also face a complicated situation. Some dealers have offered to purchase coins from individuals for a small premium in order to side-step the household ordering limit and fulfill pre-orders. The potential for a multi-month shipping delay for coins adds a new layer of complication to their purchasing and pre-order fulfillment process. I hope that the US Mint is simply including this statement to be conservative, but the US Mint's recent track record doesn't leave me too optimistic. Time will tell...

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! No private business would survive with the policies that the US Mint governs by.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! What are the chances it's being delayed so the mint can catch up on fractional GAE's?

Same here, I plan on getting one tomorrow at noon when they go on sale. The bright side to this, is that if the price drops, you can just cancel your order with the mint and re-buy at the lower price! It would be funny how poorly the mint is managed if it wasnt us taxpayers getting shafted.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Hopefully the website is up to the ordering traffic. The last go around for the 3-coin bald eagle commemorative set was an experience. The website was down, meaning you had to call. After nearly two hours I finally got through.

Martian_Time_slip | 01-21-2009 09:33 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! My guess is they intentionally give themselves some leeway. It's much easier for a customer to accept it sooner than expected rather than later, and as we all know, goldbugs can be some pretty fiesty critters.

The mint has limited these double eagles to 1 per house hold, My guess is if you cancel your order, the mint will reject you if you try to place another order. I plan on placing an order tomorrow and just wait (no telling how long for delivery, might be 9 months) Who knows, if gold prices climb, say to $1100 oz. the mint might cancel my order anyway. The mint is not in the business of losing money.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I really want one of these but I have a hard time paying $1189.00 tomorrow and then waiting 6-9months for my product. I mean it will be a surprise when the coin finally gets here but thats $1189 I could spend on something physical right now. I would be all about it if they took your name and number and as the coin came off the mint they called every person in order and said 'your coin is ready to ship, would you still like it and if so are you able to pay right now?" If you say no, you go to the back of the line, if you say yes, you pay and get your coin within a week.

CoinNut | 01-21-2009 11:19 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I will go for one tomorrow,along with alot of people. Will be made to demand for awhole year. Those that want one, will get it. Like the gold spouse coins(Can get at spot), the demand will lesson and so to the premiums that are about to be charged for these. But no telling what spot will be and these may be cheaper or more costly durning the year. The Mint will raise and lower price for these,weekly I read, durning their ordering/production run. :553:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Does US Mint accept Credit Cards for coin purchases? If so, I doubt they would actually charge your CC until the coin is ready to ship, so technically you won't have to pay that money until you get your coin anyways. At least that's how all other businesses handle backorders, and this is US Mint we're talking about...

According to the Mint website, they will charge you at time of shipping. Quote:
When placing your order, please consider your credit card�s expiration date, as charges will coincide with shipment. If your credit card has expired by the time of shipment, your order will be cancelled.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! By "Backordered" they might only be referring to the 6-9 month wait.

If you placed your order under the "wait list" notice, inventory may not be available to fill your order." I don't see anything on my order that says anything about a "wait list".

That might be true. I don't know if these items have a fixed mintage or not. Typically on a fixed mintage item (if they only make 10k of them), backordered means you are beyond the order limit but still close enough that they think there is a chance people will cancel and you could get it (ie they overbook and tell you). There was one year, maybe the 2007 or 2007 burnished blank ASE, where they had tons of orders they had to cancel and leave unfulfilled. Typically though, they are pretty good about filling orders like that. Regardless, looking at my order status it says (my emphasis): Order Status: Your order request is on hold. 2009 ULTRA HIGH RELIEF GOLD COIN 1 $1,189.00 $1,189.00 In stock and reserved The last part is reassuring. Honestly, I wouldn't mind putting off paying for these for a while, as long as I get one. So if it ships in 2 months, fine with me.

Hey, don't go outing me ;). LOL, I think the same thing happened with the Jefferson Spouse. And then a short while later when they saw the market wasn't as good as they hoped, orders were canceled and returned. This is fairly predictable. Although, to be honest, I have less problem with people selling on eBay than the dealers getting people to order for them to get around the 1 per person limit.

Thanks for the info, Bob. I just checked again, and my order still says "suspended" so I looked in the FAQ and found this: Question What does "Your Order is Suspended" mean?

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I doubt you did anything wrong. I think it's probably just related to the backorder status. I have the same message, and what's the chance were both stupid enough to screw up our orders? Hmm, well don't answer that question. When you do call, post a message though with what you found out.

Some fellows were talking in earlier posts about this. Apparently you can only get one per customer/household or something. The mint apparently knew these things would be popular. And popular they are.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I had the "backordered" status to the elusive "In stock and reserved", and now to "backordered" status. The US Mint is a classic act...perhaps I will be waiting for r6 to 9 months for all of my merchandise...HAHAHA!

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! No hurry - I fugure (spelling intended!) that 9 short months from now they'll charge YA double or triple of NOW price. :signs14::111::111:

SirSilverOzzyyzzO | 01-22-2009 09:29 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Lets see if the price of gold rises to $1,200ish (soon). Similar to how the price of gold fluctuated around $800ish - between now and when the first Buffalo's hit the streets, and if I remember correctly, the first year Buffalo's, new from the Mint, were about $800, right? :signs1: It's nice to get lost in a daydream, from time to time.

MrRational | 01-22-2009 11:29 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Going by the order numbers, it looks like the mint sold at least 40k of these today and they are still on sale. If they fill all the orders we're looking at least 60k and possibily ALOT higher mintage. With a 39% premium over spot price already, I really wonder how much more these things can appreciate with such a high mintage. BTW, I have no idea why people are already bidding these things up on ebay when they could just buy them direct still.

EE_ | 01-23-2009 12:46 AM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! They are selling for between $1,600 and $1,700 on ebay....that is about a 40% mark-up from the purchase price. If you are 60,000 down the list, there is no telling if and when you'll even get one. Things can go wrong to cause the mint to stop production. A bird in the hand?

Apocalypto | 01-23-2009 01:16 AM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Maybe we should start a poll for people to guess how many they will mint?

EireGoBragh | 01-23-2009 01:27 AM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Since they aren't making any fractionals, maybe that would free up more Au for the UHRDE

Good news. Checked my status and I don't have the infamous "rolling backorder date". It actually stayed on 02-06-2009 as the shipping date. YAY!

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Well gold went above $890 today and if it goes up $10 more then the price of the coin will jump to $1289. I'll take a $100 profit in a day :)

EE_ | 01-23-2009 12:51 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I imagine the Mint is taking a lot more orders today form people trying to beat the $100 price increase? What's that saying "he who hesitates, waits"? The late comers will be waiting until next Christmas to see this coin. :favorites21:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I'm order #308533XX. Still on hold. No problems with the site at all. Guess I missed the mad rush at noon. As long as they don't charge the CC until they ship, I'm in no hurry.

Sadly, I wonder if they might be $2,000 each in perhaps as short as 9 months from now. The PTB that print will easily have doubled or tripled the US money supply by then. So the math is simple therein. Double the money and double JUST the COMMODITY price(s) everywhere. Water does SEEM to find it's own level. I also wonder if the rationing (via shutdown and low volume) and non-available "blanks" are a way to avoid parting with product that probably is really undervalued right now? I don't know; but I surely WONDER. :thumb.aspx::thumb.aspx::yes::yes::111:

I agree. This maybe the case of early bird catches the worm. Gold is on the rise. I expect $1,000 + oz. spot price very soon on gold IMHO. If its true that the mint is short on gold blanks,than it was key to order these coins when they were first available. Many people don't want to wait several months for there order to ship. Also the First Strike designation might be huge with this coin. If only the first few thousand orders ship within the 30 day PCGS first strike deadline because of short supply of gold blanks than look out. Expect FS to be double than the issue price if not alot more. edit to add: Forgot about this. From Coinworld Online back in December. **Supplier delays shipment of 30,000 blanks A delay in the delivery of precious metals blanks leaves U.S. Mint officials uncertain as to when they will be able to start full-scale production of the 2009 Saint-Gaudens, Roman Numerals, Ultra High Relief .9999 fine gold $20 double eagle.**

I cancelled my 1/10th oz GAE and went on with my UHRDE order...here's the latest word: Order number: 308316xx Order Date: 01/22/2009 at 12:48 AM Order Status: Your order request is in process. That's better progress, if any. I'll keep you all posted as it comes.

I feel that too many people are aware of First Strike being a scam for it to have too much of an impact. Be worth a few bucks possibly.

My order is # 308297xx and went through at 12:45. The order status shows as "Your order request is on hold.", but the item status shows as "in stock and reserved." I was concerned that your came in after mine, yet your status was "in process" so I called the Mint. They said not to worry, my order is good. Still, it is bothersome that we would have similarly time-placed orders with different order status.

Mine order was placed on 12:15 and I have the same info like you ... "Your order request is on hold.",

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I got an email as well. My Exp Ship went from 2/06/09 to 2/11/09 But when I check the online tracking I see: Order Status: Your order request has been suspended. My suspicion is - in typical government style - the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. Amazing how such an inept organization can make such a nice coin.

ghaffar23 | 01-27-2009 12:09 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I woke up, checked my email as well...says my order got pushed back to 2/11 as well. A few hours later, checked on the US Mint page and it has both my coin and book pushed up to 2/6 shipping date! Don't know what to believe anymore...hoping for the best, expecting the worst. The real question comes approximately 24 hours from now. Will those who were fortunate enough to squeeze an order within the 1/28 order date...will they actually get shipped tomorrow? Time will tell...

Not much. I am done with the mint. The silver Bald Eagles have actually gone down since I bought them. Mint products suck.

I wouldn't credit the mint for making such a nice coin - I would attribute that to Mr. St Gaudens himself. He's the designer/creator of the high relief coin, no way in hell the modern mint could design anything that could stand up to this.

Gordon Gekko | 01-27-2009 02:14 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I got the email today at 7:39am (pretty darn early). They are telling me that it is shipping on 2/20/09. The catch is they are saying it's the "expected" ship date. We'll see if it really ships on the 20th.

Mr. Gekko, I think at this point anything is possible. My expectations will be met as long as I get one at all.

I agree. I am just afraid of growing impatient. I keep looking at pictures of the coin and it is driving me nuts not having it. This will be a test of my patience. Hopefully it ships out on 2/20/09 like they are telling me. I would be very happy with that scenario.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Man, after reading about the trouble you guys are having, I shudder to think about the folks who haven't even gotten in line yet. I don't really want one of these things, but I thought perhaps the mint would catch up later this year after the hype had died down, and I might think about it then. But it's beginning to look like the mint is behind the eight ball and will be playing catch up all year.

Martian_Time_slip | 01-27-2009 06:03 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Can't really say I'm surprised. You go to perth mint, canadian mint, etc, and you see silver and gold everywhere. Go to US Mint, and 90% of what you see are copper-clad, bronze, junk nickels, pennies, and dollar coins that aren't worth what they're made of. Anything with any decent value has a 30-40% premium. Don't tell me something isn't going on....

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I got my e-mail at like 5AM and it says my order is on backorder and the expected ship date is 2/06. I ordered mine 23 min after it went on sale...... Kinda crazy how well they were prepared for this.... :banghead:

*Update* I went to track my order today, and it is saying that the coin is going to ship on 2/6/09, instead of 2/20/09 that the email said a few days ago. It is also saying that the coin book is going to ship on 2/20/09. Straaaange...

Yes, they went up by $50 today.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I cancelled my order. If I want physical gold, the Ultra High Relief isn't the way to buy it. So, someone else will get the coin I had on order. As much as I would have liked to own the coin, it's too rich for my blood. You guys are always complaining about premiums. This one is pretty rich!

Well, my hope is that the premium rises over time. I wish you luck, but my guess is that you may regret canceling your order a year from now. At any rate, my order status is also changed. It now says Order Status: Your order request is on hold. And the ship date is Expected to ship on 02/06/2009. Book and coin. Just a confirmation from someone, I am 99% sure of this but want the other 1%... 2009 is the only year they plan on minting this UHR version of the coin?

http://www.coinnews.net/2008/11/24/2...oduction-4548/ "The gold pieces are set for an unlimited mintage and will be sold only in 2009, unless inventory remains for 2010."

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Also, http://www.coinnews.net/2009/01/22/2...-on-fire-4685/ "The Mint’s opening price for the gold piece is set at $1,189.00, plus $4.95 for shipping and handling. The one-ounce coin is struck in 24-karat, .9999 fine gold and is limited to a single year of issue. Striking is the coin’s more than double thickness when compared to other modern gold coins from the Mint. "

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Thanks, Mr. Gekko. Also, I didn't know about that site. It's a great one, thanks. Just noted that it's only 27mm wide, such a compact little sucker. It would be super cool to have a larger one, like GAE size! Also, who's in for the palladium model? "In 2010, palladium versions of the famous design will be struck..."

This coin is the same diameter as a 1/2 oz gold eagle, 27mm A one ounce gold eagle is 33.7mm A 1933 double eagle is 34.1mm Now why didn't they mint it to the same diameter as the 1933? I think the thick rim was meant to protect the relief, but this coin will always be in some type of capsule. Why they didn't just special make a capsule for it, I don't know?

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! 1 Attachment(s) Here's an interesting quote from that link posted by Mr. Gekko: "Maintaining the full artistic integrity of the Saint-Gaudens design was an arduous undertaking in 1907. The United States Mint’s first attempt-a 34-millimeter ultra-high relief coin with Roman numerals-required the coins to be ‘squeezed’ into a press and annealed numerous times. The coining process was impractical for mass production, and approximately 19 coins of this variety are known to exist. These coins are now mostly in private ownership." I just looked this up in my "Gold Rush" coin book (Arlyn Sieber), and if I'm not mistaken, these coins are now worth $150,000. (If I am reading correctly.)

Don't do that! You'll lose your place in line and be doing this number :banghead: when the mint cancels the program in March and these things are going for $5k on ebay.

Mr Gekko, my guess is you'll get the coin, but it might be delayed due to a lack of available blanks.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Overcoming this $300 premium will require holding these coins for a LONG time. I can't justify buying one of these at this time. You would still be better off buying 1/10th oz GAE's at that premium if you ever hope to get your money back. I invest in GOLD and not in the hope that these will go up someday. I'll wait and pick one up in the future when someone that got overextended buying them has to dump them.

I wouldn't say that, This guy sold four for about $200 more than he paid and he probably doesn't even have them yet! http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=270329613017

I just bought this coin 8 days ago for $1189.00 and now it's selling for $1,239.00. Ergo, I made $50 in 8 days. I don't need to hope it's going to go up. It already has.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! The mint just cancelled my order - has this happened to anyone else yet? Now if I want one I will need to re-order on their website and pay the extra $50 price hike. I haven't made up my mind if I want to continue playing or just buy something else. And no, they didn't cancel it because of lack of funds, I honestly don't know why, but it is cancelled. Also, I just read in my numismatic news that the mint will be readjusting prices on this coin every week until they ship.

Are you serious???? Why on earth would they just cancel your order like that? That is ridiculous. Now I am worried because I ordered mine a while after you ordered yours. Great...

My order is still on hold. Ship date still says 2/06/09 for the coin and 2/20/09 for the book. I am just kind of worried that my order will get canceled like the above poster's. I ordered pretty late in the game. My order number is 308734XX

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I got my order in at 12:30 first day. Just tracked my order: shows "order request is in process" expected to ship 2/06. Several Early birds here had ship dates of 1/28, so their orders are shipped. Early birds will have coins in hand Monday.

ng1469 | 01-31-2009 07:47 PM

Apocalypto | 01-31-2009 08:44 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! In re to the fellow who had his order canceled... (madfranks) It is possible that a nefarious individual could cancel your order. You may want to check into that. To track the order at the mint's site you only require the order number and last name. On the next screen that comes up you see a check box to cancel the order. I'm not sure what happens after you check that box and click OK (if it immediately cancels the order or takes you to another screen to further verify your identity, for example.) In a previous post someone mentioned an ebayer who showed his order number in his ad. (not a good idea) Some were speculating that if you can then find this guy's last name (not hard to do) you can possibly cancel the order. If it does immediately cancel the order, that's a weakness in the mint's order system and they need to address that.

madfranks | 02-02-2009 11:32 AM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I decided not to re-order just because my gut tells me that it will be lots of delays and price increases. Plus I had just visited my dealer and found some nice gold at reasonable prices (a Jefferson 1/2 oz first spouse and some 1/10 GAE) - I guess I would rather have it in hand now than deal with the hassles. I hope it works out for everyone else who is sticking with it.

1981 | 02-02-2009 11:38 AM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Don't worry madfranks, there's a chance that all of this hype will die down in four or five months, and then you and me will be able to waltz in and buy our UHRDE's and get 'em in 2 days with expidited shipping.

AV8R | 02-02-2009 12:59 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Just received my second delay. supposed to ship on 2/17. Looks to me like the mint has not started production of these coins. I expect to receive more delay emails and then finally the cancellation notice. It would not surprise me if the mint just scraps this program due to a "shortage of gold blanks" maybe they see $2000 gold on the horizon.

1981 | 02-02-2009 02:05 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I recently ordered an 8-8-08 prosperity set, and it is now delayed until 02/17/09 just like your UHRDEs. Maybe the problem is not with the UHRDE's so much as it is with the mint's processing operation. The prosperity sets shouldn�t be effected by the supply of coins, since all of the coins should already have been made months ago. Yet they are delayed to the same ship date as the UHRDEs. Go figure.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Well, I received my second email pushing the date further into February. First expected to ship on Jan. 28, then on Feb. 6. Now, February 17. I hope it dosen't happen, but if they cancel me, I shall cancel them...forever.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I think their plan is to sell everyone some gold coins, take the money, and then have the government confiscate the gold. It will be easy to do because they dont ever plan on sending us our coins! (thats just a joke I made up, please dont pass it around as a conspiracy)

30826000 is where they start. Do the math. As the numbers go up, other orders are added in, so the first day is somewhat accurate.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Now here's the problem. That article stated that ~30,000 were made, but there are orders up to around 43,000. This ~30,000 is referring to...is it the same 30,000 that the US Mint had delays obtaining back in Dec? If so, will they ship out this first 30,000, or will they wait until everyone can get a coin? I've received e-mails changing my shipping dates later (2/18), then backwards (2/13), and finally back onto the original 6th of February. I really am itching to have this coin in my hands! Oh, RE: the 'unlimited' mintage, with the way the US Mint is handling GOLD releases (or lack thereof), I highly doubt that something like .9999 will be unlimited this year. They barely have the 2009 GAE bullion out. No 'W' anything in sight...not even in the product schedule. 2009 will be a very memorable and hard year for many. FWIW, my order # is 30831XXX

Awesome! Thanks for the update, EE. I'm in the 8000's.

Bill57 | 02-04-2009 09:10 AM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! If the mint had 29.000 made and ready to ship, and my order number is only 3000 above the starting number of 30826000, why didn't they pack mine up and send it? They have changed my shipping date twice since the original Jan. 28 date they gave me!

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Anyone submitting this coin to PCGS, before 02-21-09... If so how does one go about doing so??:dontknow: Ok at PCGS website now reading how to submit a coin. There are two ways you can submit coins to PCGS for grading and authentication. We recommend you submit your coins through a PCGS Authorized Dealer. If you prefer to submit them directly, you can join the PCGS Collectors Club. http://www.pcgs.com/submission.html which is better???

You guys are making this a lot of fun. I don't have mine yet, but I did click, paste, and doctor up the picture from the mint. I almost put it up as proof. It would have dupped you all.

Now, notice my half ounce GAE and Buffalo order. When I ordered them they were in stock. Then, placed them on back order, so I cancelled. Point is, dey r scuweey and all messed up.

madfranks | 02-04-2009 03:54 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I was curious about why the mint cancelled my order and nobody elses, so I decided to give them a call. They told me they cancelled my order because I ordered two and they have a strict "one per household" limit. Well, I didn't order two, I only ordered one. After the mint rep couldn't find the other coin I had supposedly ordered he told me to feel free to re-order from the mint website, but I don't think I will - I'm tired of the hassle.

I'm not sure, these items are still available for ordering on the Mint's website. When they decide to change the price, don't they take it down midday Wed. and then put it back up 8 AM Thurs.? Right now they're not sticking to their pattern for a price adjustment.

I guess we'll see tomorrow? The Double Prosperity sets should be gone very soon.

EE_ | 02-04-2009 06:47 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! The UHR will be repriced tomorrow. $1,289 I'm hearing that dealers are saying this will be the finest coin ever to be produced by the mint, and if you are lucky to get a first strike 70...the coin is expected to be priced to $5,000 on the first day. I talked to PCGS, and I'm told they have designed a new slab for this coin that holds it up on prongs to fully see the edge. He called it a tripod. No date has yet been released by them as to the beginnig of "first strikes".

Are you referring to the email or the coin? Because, I definitely got the third email as well this morning telling me that it's bumped back until 3/13/09. This is getting really old.

Thanks lumpOgold. :23_1_22: I almost didn't add the disclaimer cause I thought the whole statement was too outrageous to be believable. Even with the disclaimer I got slammed! But that's the problem with the written word, it doesn't carry inflection or :sarc: very well!

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I just thought I would pass along what the Mint says about my UHR coin status. They say the coin is in stock and reserved, and that the book is expected to ship out on Feb 6th. That is today. It says no tracking number is available, which indicates to me the book wasn't shipped, and neither was the coin. Therefore, I am starting to believe that the coin may be "in stock and reserved", but not necessarily reserved for me. It is probably reserved for Obama. :thumb.aspx: By the way, my coin was ordered at 12:45 and was approximately the 3800th coin purchased (and reserved for Obama).

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! one thing I have learned in buying over the last year is that one good indicator that your purchase is finally going to ship is when the cancel option disappears from the website status screen. until that cancel disappears a whole range of things can happen from dates pushed back to cancellation. however I have never had a coin arrive more than 8 days after the cancel option dropped, some the 2nd day after. I take it as the best indicator as to what is up with my order despite all the other info.

Good common sense observation - D&B. Now if the US Mint would just like to supply the demand and make 33% for its MINOR work - well, that would be grand. However, we do have a problem HOUSTON in that the supply AIN'T up to making the the demand. Oh, well, time to crawl under the rock and wait for the GROUNDHOG to jump out late like he did this year! :signs14::yes::111:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I think the mint has sold 50000 of these. I've seen 2 claims of shipment. My take is: The mint has not shipped any. I got my order in a half hour into the sale and the track shipment page shows 2/06 ship date. My last email from the mint expects to ship on 2/18. So.. hurry up and wait and dont believe everything you read on the internet

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! As of this morning, the mint website gives me the status that both the coin and the book are in stock and reserved. Although, the cancel box is still available. Coin ordered at 45 minute mark.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! According to my credit card, $1193.95 has been "approved, but not yet entered into the account". I hadn't checked before, so I don't know at what time this charge was "approved".

What are your order number(s)? I'm within the first 6000 orders, and my order status is still "on hold", with the item status of "In stock and reserved". And "Cancel" check boxes are still there, too.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Finally some progress, the mint hit my credit card, no date anymore on the track order site, but cancel boxes still there, maybe I'll have the Double Eagle in hand later on this week.

Bill57 | 02-09-2009 05:39 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! OK, I just went to track my order, and found "in stock and reserved" and "cancel boxes" were still there. I was one of the first 1000 in at order #308294xx! I'm wondering if those order numbers really mean anything regarding shipping dates.

AV8R | 02-09-2009 05:43 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Good question. You would think, first in first out, I wonder if it really works that way. My order # is 308283XX

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I only ordered mine a few days ago, but it now reads in stock and reserved. My order number is 3093XXXX. Is this even possible? Did enough people get fed up and cancel that I got moved forward? Originally my order said Backordered until 3/20. This seems like an improvement.:smile:

CoinNut | 02-09-2009 05:50 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! :confused_ma: Maybe the long delay, after the 22th, was to get as many ready to ship at the same time. Doing it this way,the mint would not get so many,"where is my order"inquires. :banghead:

I posted the above about 5 hours ago. Now my status has gone back to the coin in stock and reserved, and the book now on back order status with an expected ship date of 2-24. This is extremely frustrating. I am sorely tempted to cancel the order just out of disgust for having to deal with such incompetence.

Congrats! I am glad to hear. This coin will definitely be magical. I am just very confused by my order. I placed it a whole day after the coin went on sale, and my order says it is "in process" and my coin is now "in stock and reserved". Perhaps it IS lucky! Or, maybe it has something to do with the expedited shipping option I chose? Who knows.

Wondering the same thing here... Nothing on my CC (not even a pending authorization), order is still on hold, cancel checkboxes are still there, and backorder date moved to 2/20... WTF? :s15:

Bill57 | 02-10-2009 12:47 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I just got off the phone with a customer service rep at the mint, and expressed my dissatisfaction that people who placed their order after I placed mine were getting their orders filled while my delivery date continues to be pushed forward. She said the orders were being processed "first in, first out", and I explained how that statement was untrue, and that I had no problem if that was, indeed, the way the mint was handling the orders. But it obviously is NOT.

Apocalypto | 02-10-2009 01:03 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I just called the mint. They told me they will be sending me a letter in the mail to confirm my identity. Once I receive the letter, I have to call them back so they know it's really me. It might have something to do with the fact that I'm not in the U.S. Frankly, I appreciate that policy since it protects both the mint and me from someone trying to rip me off.

Apparently the Mint got word of my frustration and temptation to cancel the order. As of this morning, both book and coin are in stock and reserved and the cancel box has been removed. Credit card has also been hit. Obviously, the Mint must have a GIM membership too. :bear_rolleyes:

I was just told the same thing, and I am in the US, and my "ship to" address is the same as my "bill to" address. She said everyone who ordered UHR eagle should be sent this letter... which obviously isn't true because many have already had their cards charged. Maybe it's because this was my first order directly from US Mint.

That verification thingy they sent in the mail happened to my Prosperity Set last week. Once I confirmed it, everything was just fine. Now, my UHRDE order is a little better. I'm hoping for a shipment end of this week. Orders 3083xxxx and 3082xxxx

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! My order says: 2009 ULTRA HIGH RELIEF GOLD COIN 1 $1,189.00 $1,189.00 In stock and reserved 2009 ULTRA HIGH RELIEF GOLD COIN BOOK 1 $0.00 $0.00 1 unit backordered. Expected to ship on 02/18/2009. The backorder on the book moved from 2/20/2009 to the 2/18/2009 Still have the cancel boxes (wondering if I should just cancel the book so that the coin is freed up for shipment) My order number is:30877XXX I ordered around 11 PM on Saturday night, gold had went up thursday and Friday, if the mint updated the sell price daily (as opposed to doing this once a week based on the Friday close price), then I would have paid 1,289 instead of the 1,189 - this is initially why I placed the order. And I don't think it's fair that I might get the coin before people who ordered on Friday afternoon. Especially as some are going to turn around and try to get the "first strike" designation from a grading service (which I will not do)

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I received the letter today; it basically said that the address I gave them didn't match the billing address on my Credit Card (which it does) and to send them the correct address. I called them and asked what's going on. The CS rep told me I could just ignore the letter because there was a glitch in their system that generated those letters, and my order appeared good to go. So, I guess we can chalk it up as another example of inner workings of the US Govt... She also told me that my order was scheduled to be shipped on the 12th (which is today), and I should be getting it no later than 20th. I'll believe it when I see it... Although, I just checked my credit card and there is a pending authorization for roughly the same amount, so it's starting to look promising. Also, my "cancel" check boxes are finally gone. :565:

My cancel boxes have been gone on my order since the beginning of the week. Also, my CC has a temp authorization for the full amount as well. I spoke with one of the ladies at the US Mint and she told me that my order isn't expected to ship until 2/18, despite the status online. Don't know what to expect...Like I said eariler, I'm hoping for shipment by the end of this week. Otherwise, I'll be expecting it out their door by 2/18.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! What is everyone's opinion on whether or not to sent it to PCGS or NGC for the "First Strike" or "Early Release" label? I am new to numismatics, and am trying to figure out if it would be worth it to have it graded when I get the coin.

Manager Mr | 02-13-2009 07:22 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I would like too, But it's not going to happen.... The cut off for PCGS I think it's 02-22-09, & NGC is 03-08-09 By the way looks like the mint has stop the ability to track orders This feature is temporarily unavailable. Please call 1-800-USA-MINT (872-6468) if you would like to track an order.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! The PCGS and NGC grading for recently released coins depends on the greater fool theory. You'll have to find an idiot to sell to. Given what I know of the "first strike" and "early release" labels of the past, they command little to no premium and shouldn't. The Mint has said before that once they strike the coins, they are mixed together and shipped, there's no guarantee that a coin that is shipped first was minted before a coin that will ship later. The "Early Release" moniker was just a marketing tool made by the coin dealers to create more business for themselves. I would not pay a cent more for a "First Strike" or "Early Release", in fact, I wouldn't pay a cent more for a recently released graded coin. Most coins relased by the mint are MS-69 and MS-70 to begin with, if your coin is graded MS-68, then it will sell at a discount to an ungraded coin.

Gordon Gekko | 02-13-2009 07:48 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Thanks a lot guys for the very helpful information. Perhaps I will skip the first strike process as it seems it may not be worth it.

Kinda what I figured. But, I probably won't flip this coin. I have intentions of holding onto it for a while unless some extreme circumstance causes me to sell it.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! When I get my rationed 1 UHR Double Eagle I seriously doubt that I would send it off to a grading service right away. That said, I would send it off if the MINT stops MINTING them soon this year; or if they become rare for some reason; or that they switch from a fancy BULLION coin into a RARE numismatic item. WINK! In the meantime one has the box, book, and documentation from the MINT WIZARDS who can NOT figure out how to accomplish their mission assigned to them by the congress to mint enough P.M. SUPPLY or the demand. Like the KEYSTONE cops in business. But, that's how government works; as private business they would all fail. :yes: Just kidding. :signs14::5_1_120::5_1_120::111:

I'm in agreement with you, Mr. Gekko. But, should the day come when I need to part with it for some reason, it'll fetch a huge profit. I got my letter from the mint today. Similar to others who received the letter, it said that the address I gave them for delivery didn't match the one on my cc card (not true). The purpose of the letter is strictly to protect both parties by confirming you are the individual who placed the order. You call the mint, tell them that the address on the card does indeed match your address, then they fire off the coin. In other words, my order is coming very soon. Anticipation...

I am curious what your rationale is (or anybody else's) for thinking this coin will generate huge profits. I am no expert, but from what I have seen of other coins, I don't expect this coin to appreciate fantastically. I think the mintage is going to be too high. The number of sales is supposedly already around 50,000 and it will be sold all year long, with no mintage limit to be set. When the first year buffalo coin came out they had a limit on the proof version of 300,000 coins. Consequently, the coin really hasn't appreciated much. In contrast, on the 20th anniversary GAE sets, the Reverse Proof coin was limited to about 10,000 coins, and they have appreciated significantly. Based on the above, I do not expect the UHR coin to appreciate all that much. My personal belief is that to make a little money on this coin, one would be advised to get a "First Strike" designation and sell as soon as possible. That being said, I think I will get mine in time to get a First Strike designation, but I am not interested in selling. I want to keep the coin because it is a beautiful coin and the presentation of the box, etc is very attractive.

Yes, I did see it. It surely is a beautiful coin and the box it comes is not too shabby as well.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! 1 Attachment(s) I just noticed that on the mint website for these coins it has an option for "color", and then it states "one color". Why is that even there?

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Hey guys. The first submitted UHR submitted to PCGS. The owner of this coin is planning on selling on ebay when he receives his coin back from PCGS. I said this a few times now but again First Strike is going to be a huge profit for the lucky few. I believe March 6 is still the cut off line for FS. :banghead: http://www.pcgs.com/articles/article...universeid=313

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I couldn't give a flying hoot about the grading myself. It won't add too much to the value of the coin in my estimation. But then I'm new to the whole thing so maybe I'm wrong. Besides, didn't someone on eBay already sell one for around a $500 profit, without the grading? On another note, I called the mint today about the letter I got on Friday, and they told me that the order is going through. The letter about the address not being the same as the credit card was a mix-up, apparently. So my order is still moving along. It's "in the warehouse to be picked up". Meanwhile, I haven't been able to track my order all day. I get this at the tracking screen: This feature is temporarily unavailable. Please call 1-800-USA-MINT (872-6468) if you would like to track an order. We apologize for this inconvenience. Click here to return to the Catalog home page. Oh coin, where are you?

:yes: Same HERE on screen "HISTORY!" Where art THOU? Anyway funny thing is on EBAY they are selling coins they have ON order - did not see one ready to ship - maybe I missed it - anyway I was smiling and wondering "what IF" the infamous US MINT decides to cancel all PM orders because of some executive order. Just wondering what a mess that would make. :signs14::yes:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! According to the last email I got from the mint I was supposed to ship yesterday.2/18. I called today, they said, after jacking around for a couple minutes that I've been back ordered to March 6th, my order #308283XX. Also I asked have they shipped any of these Double E's? and he said no, he was not aware of any that shipped. Said I would get an email, so far, no email.

NOPE PILGRIM - here's why! True story: location: Belemy's Restaurant - Across from the Balboa Bay Club - Newport Beach, CA Now a McDonald's! Time 5:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning - Funny thing is that in 1967 (I'm really getting old!) I was a 23 year-old working as a CIVIL SERPENT (read uniform cop having more fun than I could appreciate) in Newport Beach just after LAPD. Across the way at the other table facing me - was this fellow who REALLY looked familar. So I said," You look really familar - are you from Los Angeles?" Answer: "Yes, my name is MARRION MORRISON; but, you would not recognize THAT name would you?" "No sir." We were really polite back then. "Well, my stage name is 'JOHN WAYNE'!" "Wow, I said.

Anyone out there actually received one yet? The Mint is just getting beyond understanding on issues like this. Selling what you don't have? Might as well be NWTM which we all love to hate due to their selling/shipping practice. Going to be real mad (for what good that would do) to find out the first 50,000 went out to dealers while retail gets to wait.

Can anyone shed some light on this? I am new to numismatics and have never ordered directly from the U.S. Mint. I was under the impression that once they charged your credit card, the coin was shipping out. EE is saying they are not going out until April 24th. If this is the case, what in the heck are they doing charging my credit card two months before the coin is actually going to ship?!?!:bear_angry:

Thanks for the reply EE. To answer your question, yes, they did charge the full amount for the coin to my credit card. Do you think I should be expecting the coin soon then?

Are you sure it's wasn't just an authorization? I had a pending transaction/authorization on my card for the full amount, but then it dropped off after a few days. It's a standard practice for vendors to authorize the amount against the Credit card first, and then follow up with the actual charge. The authorization is done at the transaction time, and the charge is processed when the merchandise is shipped.

Charges will include only those items in the package being shipped, and for shipping and handling. You will only be charged for shipping and handling once per order for destinations within the United States of America and its territories."

The authorization is done at the transaction time, and the charge is processed when the merchandise is shipped.
Honestly, I am not really sure. How can I tell if they really charged my card vs. if it is just an "authorization". FWIW, it is strictly a credit card, not a debit card/credit card.

Depends on your bank, I guess. My bank (Chase) doesn't really show the pending transactions/authorizations anywhere, but they are reflected in the "available balance" amount, so I can roughly guess the amount of pending transactions/authorizations. Other cards/banks may do it differently.

I am sure you are right. I ordered mine a whole day after they became available to the public. My order number is 308734XX. Yet, they charged my credit card this morning. I am just very confused as I am sure you are.

Checked my account. It does seem that it is an authorization because it isn't showing up as a transaction. My credit line in use increased by exactly $1200, so, without actually seeing the posted transaction, I assume it's just an authorization as of right now.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I thought I was good to be within the first 3500 orders. Now you say your order would had to have been in the first 400(!) to be "good"? I called the mint and was connected immediately (as usual) only to get a recording stating that they "cannot answer the call at this time"! Maybe the president should "stimulate" the U.S. Mint...with a cattle prod up their rear ends!

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Alright, the mint says April 24th. If we punch that into my mint lie decoder ring and adjust for incompetence & apathy, we get June 24th. Isn't it funny how the folks who ordered in the first hour and the folks who ordered Feb. 23rd will ship at the same time? I don't feel so bad for waiting until Feb 4th now.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! What part of the word "resume" am I not understanding? If the mint "resumes" shipment, that means they began shipping and stopped, and now they shall resume. From what I've been reading here, they never began what they now say they will resume! And what about that first in first out bs?

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I hate to break it to whoever owns that coin, but according to PCGS, if you take it out of the box it was shipped in to look at it, its no longer eligible to be a first strike... Quote:
According to the PCGS website, in order to receive the PCGS "First Strike" designation, the coins must be submitted sealed in the post marked Mint shipping box.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! The way I get it is that if you ordered in the first hour they ship to you next year. It's OBAMA's NEW fairness doctrine. :yes::111::111::504::clap2:

Wow, haha. I really feel kind of dumb paying the extra 10 bucks or whatever it was for "expedited" shipping (...puts dunce hat on).

If you are a customer who receives the COIN without the Companion Book, we will ship the Companion Book to you, at no extra charge, when it becomes available. If you ordered your 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin between January 22, 2009, and February 9, 2009, you are under the 30-day return policy.

If you are dissatisfied for any reason with your 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold COIN, you may send it back to the United States Mint within the applicable return period for a full refund or replacement. If you return your COIN for any reason prior to receiving the Companion Book, we will cancel your shipment of the Companion Book. If you receive the Companion Book within the applicable return period, you must return both for a full refund. If your Companion Book is shipped separately, the exchange timeframe for it also will begin on the date you receive it and under the same return policy � 30 days or seven days � as applicable. We will make no refunds for the Companion Book; we will make exchanges for damages only. Customers� orders will be shipped on a first-come, first-served basis. You will be notified by email when your order has shipped. If you do not receive the Companion Book with your COIN, you will receive a second e-mail notification when we ship the Companion Book. If you ordered the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin between January 22 and February 23, 2009, we expect to ship it by April 24, 2009. If you place your order for the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin on or after February 24 (and up until March 24, 2009), we expect to ship it by May 24, 2009.

If the coin arrives at PCGS before the deadline it doesn't matter if you opened the box or not. If you plan on sending the coin after the deadline but received the coin before March 11, you must send it in the shipping box. Once PCGS opens the box they will read the mint invoice which will say the date. It would obviously qualify for a first strike if PCGS receives the coin before the deadline.

Damn looks like us penny pinchers should have requested expedited shipping afterall. Unless you know someone at the mint Gordon....I can't figure out how this happened other than that you chose expedited when you ordered.

I honestly am as surprised as you are. I didn't even order the day they went on sale. I waited until the next day. This was my first time ordering from the Mint. Perhaps they give some friendly service to new customers ;)

I wonder if it has anything to do with my aunt being the director of the Mint? I doubt it.

You also ordered yours on the 23rd? I did the same and mine is on its way as well. Seems like ordering the coin the second day it was available to the public was the way to go! :getdown:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Their policy of "first in first out" is not being honored. IMO. They had "problems" with this offering,so I think they are just getting them out the door, without regard to when the order was placed. Most of the time , it has been first in first out. Hope those "responsible" will review this latest...Glitch :36_1_25:

Although I am happy that mine is on its way even though I ordered after most, I am a bit annoyed at how the process has unraveled.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Gordon, Are you going to go the whole first strike grading road with this coin? I have expidited shipping so I expect to have this today, as it's only coming from the US mint in West Point NY (I go hiking around there all the time). I should have asked if I could have picked it up in person. I will take a pic and post it here - don't expect it to turn out as nice as TomD's work, though I will make sure the pic is not blurry. If I take it out of the plastic holder, I know enough to wear cotton gloves. Would opening the coin (for a better pic) mean that the grading service would not give a first strike? I am starting to think that a great pic for this thread outweighs a first strike from PNCS. With all the counterfitting going on of the graded coins, I am leaning twords not sending it for the first strike and getting a better pic of the coin

Gordon Gekko | 02-26-2009 09:32 AM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Ok, now I am uber confused. I just called the Mint to track my order and they are still saying that my order is still being processed, even though they sent me an email saying that the coin has shipped and gave me a tracking number and the whole nine yards. What the heck??

Okay, so let us know what you think of it as soon as it comes! That way I can cancel my order if it is going to be a disappointment since I probably have another month to wait. Keep in mind I have some pretty high standards and the pic that was posted above looks like the coin is a little rough if you study it. I think our mint sucks...I am fond of coins that have a proof like finish.

SS, I am not really sure if I will be sending it in or not. A lot of members on GIM are opposed to the idea. I guess I will wait to see when it actually arrives to make a decision. From my understanding, the coin CANNOT be taken out of the box or the box be opened if you want the grading. I could be wrong, though. I feel your sentiments about the grading conundrum. Let me know what you decide. Also, do you know how to track your order given the tracking ID number they provided? I am trying to figure it out for myself.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Gordon, did you try inputting the tracking number into the USPS website? I got nothing back from the post office web package tracking section when inputting the number. I tried the whole thing, then the numeric (17 numbers) as well as the alpha numeric part (18 characters, a miz of numbers and letters). They shipped on Feb 25th, it's the 26th today so I should be able to pull up something. Diversified, I agree the pic posted above was blurry. The detail on the coin did not seem to be "high relief" - unless this is a case of an awful pic but great coin. F&*K that, I am taking that puppy out of the plastic holder to get the best shot I can, using my 5.2 megapixel sony one click camera that is.

I tried the USPS tracking site as well and am not getting any information. This is really screwy. I will post pics as well when I get the coin. I got a new Canon 10 mega pixel camera for Christmas from my gf and want to put it to use!

CoinNut | 02-26-2009 09:48 AM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Someone posted about "box opening" in this and another thread. If you have any question,call PCGS. If you READ their "conditions" it is clear. Send coin within the first 30 days...OR.. if mint shipped in first 30 days, leave in sealed box and send it past the 30 window. ...Edit to add...The first FS PCGS slabbed(Over a week ago) was opened and picture taken,before submission.

The first number looks like it could be a USPS tracking number. The third number is definitely a UPS tracking number.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Well that was a bunch of bull sh!t...... Supposidly there is a "whole lot that goes into releasing an order to the warehouse" and "depends on more than just when you placed your order." Also there were "no supervisors around right now". They also said it has to do with security and how long you have been ordering from the mint. When i said the person who got their coin had only placed 1 order with the mint they didnt have much to say. So basically I'm "going to get your (my) coin by April 24th".... :36_1_28::36_1_28::36_1_28::36_1_28::36_1_28: :fan::fan::fan::fan:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Just called up PCGS. They said that you can take the coin out and still get a first strike, provided that there is no damage or stains and they receive the opened coin by the March 11th deadline The better approach, they said, is to not open the package the coin was shipped in (this means do not open what you get from the delivery guy). Wait one year. See if the first stikes carry a premium. If they do, simply send in the unopened package to PCGS. They said you could even wait 10 years and still get the first strike designation, privided the package the coin was shipped in was not altered in any way I could just have a family member order a coin for me, and not open this one.

Gordon, see my post from above regarding my conversation with the grading service. You could simply elect to not open the box, wait 10 years, send the unopened box in, and get your first strike designation. That said, the guy from PCGS admitted that folks in China and elsewhere are making perfect copies of thier holders, so what is the whole rush to get a stupid plastic holder on the coin when there will likely be counterfits popping up all over the place, especially if the first strikes are carrying a huge premium. The guy admitted that people are fabricating perfect coin holders (watch out Morgan Dollar fans) so why rob yourself of the ability to hold the coin in your own hands! That said, I need to find some white cotton gloves, or I will just use a clean tee shirt to handle the coin - that puppy is coming out of the plastic case tonight!

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I just spoke to the mint about my order which has an ealry order number. They said all they knew was it was sent to the warehouse but the only thing he could tell me is that it is suppossed to ship before april 24 and that could slide. Geez. When I told him later order numbers were shipping now he stated he could not comment on that as he has heard both sides of that story. I don't know what the heck that means.

Common sense is very uncommon and you HAVE it! :yes::10_1_20::565::getdown::banana::applause_ Down the soon road the SLAB folks will figure out a way to re-slab to avoid the problems out of China - that way they get more money to re-slab and get rid of the CONTERFEITING problems TOO. I'd really betya they are working on that right now - for that's what I'd do if it was my business. They also have an on-line checking system for anyone to check their holders - not just the special members. That's comming too. I'd also bet ya.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Okay, I made some progress. Kenya is personally looking after my order, and will be contacting superiors regarding this matter. They will be reviewing my earlier phone call with customer service. That person will probably lose her job for telling me she was not reporting complaints in fear of losing her job, and her language, telling me people were calling her "a fu(king bitch". (unprofessional language for their personal) That's all I can do.

It has more to do with the policy the mint has about orders over $300. All orders are shipped expedited if you exceed that limit, but if you pay for expedited they don't normally refund it, so you got lucky!

SS, I am sure it comes out of the holder somehow. I didn't have much time to fool around with it because I had to rush back and pick up my gf whom I dropped off at class (I skipped). I can look into it tonight. I will also try to get a sideshot tonight. It's a little guy, but very thick.

I would think the wise thing to do is NOT remove it from PROTECTION! However, :signs14:you seem to push the envelope so take it out and throw it at least 20 feet in the air and try to catch it on a PUBLIC STREET - in fact play catch with it and your girlfriend. :4_1_72::111:

Well you REALLY made ME JEALOUS so I found my original order way back on 1st day - 2 hours late- :yes: order #30855*** I called them for the ROYAL round around - they don't even take calls -busy laying on their you-know-whats; They still have both the account tracking and the order history out-of-order. Now the folks that Failed :504: in running the Mustang Ranch in Nevada (a brothel - l guess the PERKS :yes: killed 'em) are NOW advising the mint. Evey, evey - the more things "CHANGE" :signs14: the more they stay the same. :23_28_100s:

You're very welcome! It is definitely a keeper and I share your same feelings about getting it graded, slabbed, etc. I will never take it out of the platic case it is currently in. Tonight, I will take and post pics comparing it to GAE's, CML's, quarters, etc.

Your guess is as good as mine. All I know is this; if I paid $1,200-$1,400 for a coin and waited over a month to get it just to find out it looked like that, I would be appauled. I would for sure return it and either ask for a refund or another coin that hadn't been used for sidewalk chalk. Just my $0.02.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I vented to the nice CS lady that I was connected to at the mint. I ordered mine about 18 minutes after they began taking orders. She would not give me a name to whom I shall lodge a formal complaint about the "first in, first out" lie, but she told me to write to the following address, and that they take complaints seriously: U.S. Mint, 2799 Reeves Rd., Plainfield, Indiana 48168.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Looks to me like the shipping dep't at the mint is Ultra screwed up. Now we have "Luck of the draw shipping" My last email from the mint says, "If you ordered the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin by February 23, 2009, we expect to ship it no later than April 24, 2009" I hope I get my double eagle before the mint announces the production of the coin is suspended until further notice, due to a lack of blanks.

It's tough to figure the Mint out. According to the emails they sent me a while ago, my coin was supposed to ship in early March. However, I got my coin today. Oh yea, I forgot to mention. I just called to track my order for the hell of it, and they are still saying that they are processing my order. Too funny...

HS, I didn't even order the coin the day they went on sale. I ordered it the following day (1/23/09). Somehow, I ended up getting the coin earlier than a lot of folks that ordered way before me. :signs14:...................:getdown:

I know I know. I said that tongue-in-cheek. I would rather wait a while and get a pristine coin than get it "early" and have it in rough shape like the one in that link above. That would be such a hassle.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! The CSR that I talked to at the Mint said my UHRDE has been slated for shipping, but said no shipping number is available yet. She said it has a "Pick" designation which means they are close to shipping. She asked me to call back on Monday and they should have the shipping info then. By the way, my order was on the first day at minute :45. I sure hope she knows of what she speaks.

No, that wouldn't make sense for my name. I don't think there is a rhyme or reason for getting mine before people that ordered before me.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! From the pictures I've seen, there appears to be a collar mark on the edge of the coin where the collar comes together. That looks kind of tacky, like a cheap plastic toy, IMHO. Also, I wonder if the orientation of the lettering is standard or if it changes with the coin, like the Presidential dollars.

Thanks!! I am new to numismatics and didn't really know too much about coin storage, so, I figured I would give the air-tites with the black ring a whirl. I don't mind them. I like the gold and black contrast.

Thanks for that; when they "stiffed" me I forgot about them and took them off "favorites." Fun to see that common date MS64 were around $2350 each times have doubled in the past few months! :yes:

When did yours ship? I received an e mail saying mine shipped yesterday but I cannot find anything with the tracking numbers. I have expedited shipping so will it come UPS or usps? It did not arrive today in any case.

ng1469 | 02-28-2009 08:20 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! The tracking information I got was in the email should be something like 1ZXXXXXXXXXXX for UPS. It should be shipped UPS overnight air. Mine says is shipped yesterday, and im not sure if i got it yet (im pretty sure i would have gotten a call). It should be here Monday at the latest i would expect. Here is a link to an article about the FIFO news and a survey they have for it: http://mintnewsblog.blogspot.com/200...agles-not.html

I'd buy five right now if they would let me at that price. HONESTLY. :yes: I really wonder how long they will make them? My guess is this year ONLY and very abbreviated at that - maybe only until Fall. :yes: They will claim BLANK problems and the ones made will be worth a fortune - who knows? After all they killed 90% of their precious metal coins this year already. We have our own "MEXICO MINT." :504::signs14:

It truly is unbelievable how they handled this process. I guess ordering the second day had its perks. It just doesn't seem right though.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Stupid Question? Do you guys think this will be a better bullion coin than the standard Krug, Eagle, Buffalo, Leaf, etc...? Or do you think that the extra price on these kills that?

Gordon Gekko | 03-01-2009 01:35 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Not a stupid question, just not an apples-to-apples comparison. The Ultra High Relief Double Eagle has more "numismatic" value than say a normal Gold American Eagle, Krug, or CML. Less are produced and less often.

Not stupid. Numismatic ITEMS really depend UPON distribution or numbers made and if they are a HIGHLY wanted item. I can tell you the early 1907 Saints are way highly priced for their distribution - because they are highly WANTED! :23_1_22: So the game plan gets down to this: :wink: how many they make (boy, that's a wild card!) :thumb.aspx: how many folks want them - study the 1907 varieties for a MINOR indication of WANT! :wink:

They hit my debit card for the $1,200 last Wens. Per UPS, the mint has sent the delivery instructions (electronically) but has not delivered the coin to UPS yet. The UPS status has not changed in a weeks time. I keep checking the UPS website to see if the status changes from the current "billing intformation received" so much that I have almost memorized the tracking number. It's a god sign when they take your money. The mint told me that they gather a bunch of coins together, then make one trip to the airport and give the batch to UPS all at once. Something about internal controls makes them feel that moving a bunch of finished product all at once is easier and safer then lettign the UPS guy pick up the orders that are completed each day. Mine was supposed to ship on Feb 25, at least per the e-mail from the mint.

Gordon G, If you think your coin is perfect, you might want to ship it to PCGS now. I think they are having problems with minting these coins. I believe there will be very few First Strike 70's. These could be a $7,000 coin in that grade. Do you own a loupe? Or at least a magnifying glass? Take a look at your coin...look at the gown that runs paralell next to Lady Liberty's left leg. On the high edge, do you see two nicks? If there is, and they are not supposed to be there...you probably have a MS69, and I would just keep it in the box. Tell me what you find. I got my fingers crossed I get a nice one.

EE, I do not have a loupe, but, I do think I got a pretty good one. I will look later tonight for the nicks. Am I even eligible for the first strike even though I took it out of the original box? I haven't opened the capsule. I have heard conflicting things on this.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I'm sending mine into PCGS tomorrow. Even if it only get MS69 it should still sell for a pretty good premium. I plan on ordering another one (using a different address), but might as well get the premium on the First Strike designation if people are willing to pay it.

Just an example of a modern...look at the difference between a 69 and a 70 of the 1995-w PR silver eagle. http://www.pcgs.com/prices/PriceGuid...=Silver+Eagles That's what happens when there are very few 70's. I think there will be few of the UHR and who knows, something might even kill the production before the year is over. Maybe the mintage will be lower then anticipated?

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! People paying enormous sums for graded bullion coins is like people paying tons of money for long-dated out of the money options. I think that all numismatic premiums will be reevaluated when gold is at $10,000. I want my UHR to remain untouched in its original virginal US Mint chastity box. Only then will I know that it is pure.

Gordon, Will I be able to remove the coin from the plastic holder? I will find out tonight anyways, but if it can be removed, then I will take my pics without the holder. Liked your idea of showing other coins in the pics to give a perspective on size. I will also throw a silver eagle in the mix as well. Also be taking some side shots to show the relative thickness of the coins.

SS, IIRC, it can come out of the holder. I could be wrong about that though. Either way, I am looking forward to the pics and congrats!

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I got confirmation of shipment, yesterday:553:. Got here right now:applause_.... left at the front door:banghead:, next day air. Considering sending to PCGS but have to become a member (silver). I think it comes out to like 130 bones + my shipping cost. With reading the responses here, figured worth it and sending it in the box...want to open it...but but:Surrender: Does this sound about right?:bear_thumb:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Did everybody here get the e-mail from the mint about the projected ship dates? I have never recieved any kind of e-mail communication from the mint after the initial order confirm. My order is "still in process" on the mint phone system, so I guess I'm still in line. Of course the've been doing additional adress verification for a month, which seems odd. Anyhoo, just wondering if everyone is getting these e-mails, thanks.

Bill57 | 03-03-2009 11:19 AM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I finally received mine this morning, after getting an email last night advising me that the coin had been sent. I got mine days after those whose order numbers were several thousand above mine (308294xx). The "track order" feature was not working last night. So, as a final insult, a note on my packing list states that "we are changing to serve you better. We have made it easier to...check order status".! The "first in - first out" policy was a bold-faced lie, and I intend to let the mint know how much I hate being lied to.

I never received the shipping confirmation email, either, but I called the customer service this morning and was told my UHR is shipping today. They gave me the tracking number, and while it's not in the UPS system yet, it gives me hope that I'll be getting my coin sooner than later. Now if only they would finally ship my prosperity set, I'd be all set.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! When I got in to work this morning, I had an e-mail from the Mint stating my coin shipped yesterday. I plugged in the tracking number with UPS and it said delivered. Called my wife and she said yes it is there. Can't wait to open the box and see it. :565: They must finally be getting to the first-day orders. My order was at 12:45 the first day. Now to decide if I go for a First Strike designation. It is tempting.

Thanks for posting your time. :23_1_22:I JUST through to the mint and they said the first day orders were just starting to ship between NOW and 4-24-09. :signs14: Call the encapsulating PCGS/NGC and talk to them about the rules - maybe you can think about it for a week or two. :wink: I truly wonder if these coins might turn into a real collectors ITEM. It depends upon the NUMBER made. They are not starting out too well on that score. :yes: They were supposed to start delivery last November, I believe. :favorites21::favorites21::favorites21:

Hi GG, I'm still assessing it. I'm going to pop it out of the capsule and look at it again. It is a nice one, no imperfections, rim is nice, no nicks, dings or scratches. Not having another to compare to, the only thing I can say, under magnification, is the planchet nice enough, and does it have the pizzazz to make a 70? I have until Thursday to decide...Friday is the only day of the month you can do walk in submissions at PCGS. I'm looking at getting the gold package and getting the four free submissions. Who knows how these guys decide between a 69 and 70? Sometimes I think is depends on their mood of that day. Getting these graded is speculating...how many will they produce this year?

I am glad you got a good one. I have seen some that weren't so lucky. Personally, I am just so torn in terms of whether or not to submit it to PCGS. I have never done so and am aware that it will entail me signing up and paying a lot of costs to do so. On the flip side, I saw one go for like $3,200 the other day on Ebay (First Strike MS-70). Decisions, decisions.

It's a tough call, if you get a 70, you can't lose. If something kills production early, it could be profitable too. If I take four coins in and get two of them to get top grades, it would be worth it for me.

But, for my case, do you think it would be worth the gamble? I only have one coin to submit.

It is a gamble...but if your ever planning to get it graded, you might as well get the First Strike. They are selling for $1,750 for unknown quality. $3,250 for a 70 FS. It would be nice to see what ebay is fetching for PCGS 70 FS's. If you're just planning to hold it for years, maybe just keep it as is. If you would sell it for the right price when you feel they have peaked, well, then maybe take a shot? Tough call. I try not to get too attached to things when there's a big profit to be made. With the silver membership, it looks like it will cost you $115 plus the cost for you to ship it to them. With the gold membership, I can get four done for about $170, that includes the FS on the UHR.

Thanks for the insight EE. I really appreciate it. Since I am planning on keeping the coin for a long time, I guess I will not send it in to get the first strike designation or the grading.

Here's how I look at it... It costs around $130 to have a coin graded (membership including). So, the question is, are you willing to throw away $130 if your coin comes back as non-FS MS69? Because if it does, you might as well break it out of the slab and put it back in the original box, since I'm sure 99% of UHRs would be in MS69 condition from the Mint (with the exception of the coins that have obvious damage as seen in earlier posted pictures). On the other hand, you may be able to make a $1000+ profit with your $130 investment by reselling it on eBay (after subtracting all of the fees, shipping costs, etc.). Or, if you get really lucky and get MS70, you may be able to profit even more. So, is this gamble worth loosing $130 to you?

You can add a few EXTRA coins to be graded also. If you have NEVER done it - do it. However: I played ring-around-the-rosy with PCGS when they LOST 10 of my Saints (several MS65s too) for 10 weeks and gave me a super headache :thumb.aspx: and SQUAT :moon::36_1_63: for a reward. You think the mint bad right now :4_1_72: - try to deal with the hardnoses :yes:at PCGS if you send in coins to them. I buy PCGS - but I'd never send them ... oh, forget it. Then I went to NGC - which was better - much better - for ME sending coins too. ANACS was the BEST to date - but they are not as highly rated as the PCGS/NGC big boys. :yes:

So, if it seems that only 1% of the coins will be graded M70, I guess it just wouldn't be worth is to gamble $130 and pray for an MS-70. I am very new to numismatics, so that is why I am asking such noobish questions.

There are NO stupid questions :thumb.aspx: - GG - frankly, I would BUY some sort of membership :yes: and submit the correct number :36_1_32v:of coins (bullion too :yes:) because they want to satisfy your 4 coin PCGS - 5 coin NGC order with your first order. You have a year to then submit and pay big bucks for future orders :moon::111:- I believe - they may have changed the rules. NGC is probably better on the phones - but in this economy - my guess is that all are HURTING somewhat because JOHNNY 6-Pack is short a few bottles. :111: PS NGC will give you a slightly better chance at a MS70 - (IMVsuperHO)

This coin qualifies to be designated as EARLY RELEASE - if it is shipped in an unopened box to be graded by NGC by March 9, 2009 or as FIRST STRIKE - if is shipped in an unopened box to be graded by PCGS by March 11, 2009. http://cgi.ebay.com/2009-ULTRA-HIGH-...QQcmdZViewItem

ng1469 | 03-04-2009 10:04 AM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! It doesnt have to be in an unopened box to get the first strike/early release designation if shipped to them before the cutoff date. If you wish to send the coin in AFTER the cutoff date it must be in the original shipping box that you received from the mint and they will still give you the first strike designation on it no matter how far past the date you are. I just sent mine in yesterday, only the coin in its capsule and its fine as long as its most marked (for PCGS) before the 11th

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Well after only half an hour on hold and one disconnection, I was able to talk to a mint rep this morning. She said that she expected the shipping situation to begin to pick up in about three weeks, didn't say why. I called because my order has been in "address verification" for over a month, and I never received a letter or anything else. She told me that the verification process is a manual process and basically I have to wait for them to get to mine (ordered Feb 4th) and should expect it at "any time" between now and May 24th, even though based on my order date I should get it by April 24th. Almost cancelled the order, would rather pick up some silver on the dip rather than listen to the mints lies any longer, but the rep sounded like she’s been taking it in the teeth on this issue and I was afraid she might cry if I cancelled on her. Oh well, maybe I'll get an MS70 for my patience. Edit: She also said that they have first day people who haven't recieved their orders. I feel really foolish, I didn't order day one 'cause I wouldn't have the cash until Feb 4, and was afraid they would try to ship before then if I ordered too soon. Boy was I wrong.

Pretty coin too bad PCGS doesn't know how their new holders work. Maybe they are like the old "GREEN RATTLERS" that slip and slide around. Maybe they could ask their Chinese COUNTERFEITERS for their holders? :111::111::111::111::111::111::111::111:

EE_ | 03-04-2009 04:44 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! If that coin brings anywhere near that price, it will set a new price on PCGS 70 FS's In all the other holders you can spin the coin inside, by dropping the holder on the edge on a table. It moves little by little once you get the technique down. I've done it on a couple. It takes time though.

I would really like to see what the offers are that they have gotten. I can only imagine how much some people are willing to spend. I'm guessing he put it that high because he had no idea how much it was worth and didnt want to auction it off so he is just gunna let people send him offers till a day or 2 before the BIN period ends.

MS 70 is a perfect coin...it is like winning a small lottery. Most of these will be MS 69 The "First Strike" designation is for coins that were shipped or post marked in the first 30 days of their release. It is a marketing ploy that people with deep pockets like to collect. I should add the PCGS is the top grader and the strictest of all grading companies. That's why they command more $$$ then NGC or the others.

On the coin blog they mentioned some scam where coins are being switched - and they are shipping the MS69 to the unsuspected ones - and keeping their MS70 for sale on Ebay. If they do the work slow enough they can sell about a hunderd off with none the wiser. They could be using the public's coins and just shipping much slower than usual - PCGS made me wait 10 weeks with hardly a KISS my sweet Button. Dirty rotten crooks! Just something else to worrry about. What we need is a great bunch of cops to clean up the whole government mess. But like the 42 billion in PORK FAT per McCain - "It's busineess as usual" as stated prior. :signs14::111:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I can't believe someone has a "Buy it Now" of $23,000 for the MS70 First Strike. It is really making me contemplate sending it in to PCGS and gambling ~$130. Anyone else taking the gamble who didn't plan on it? P.S. I took the coin out of the mint box. I can still get the First Strike designation correct? it just has to be sent in the case?

I would the mint has their act together NOW and will be shipping them like "LUCY Arnez in the Chocolate Factory :5_1_120::111:- too bad she was eating so many -and you save." We are only allowed one as you know.

It's probably too late for you. First you to have to order a package with the forms and club #...you would have to get them next day aired to you, then send it all back to be there by Wednsday. If you screw up filling out the forms, it's over.

Haha, well, I called him the other day when I first got the coin and he advised me not to send it in because there was such a low chance of getting an MS70 grading and some other reasons. I guess I'll call him back today. He is just kind of hard to deal with. One of those coin shop owner personalities.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Just talked to a customer service rep at PCGS. He confirmed that the coin can be sent in the capsule only, BUT, they have to RECEIVE it before 3/11/09. I'm assuming if I overnight it they will for sure receive it before the 11th, but, a member earlier said that they didn't actually recieve a coin they sent weeks after they sent it.

You're going to jump through hoops to get this done. It's a long shot and a speculative play to get any value out of it. The odds are against you to only recover the cost at best. But what if you did get a PCGS MS70 FS? I little happy dance would be in order! :565::getdown:bancha:10_1_20::yippee::banana:

Yea, I know it's a gamble, but, I think it's worth the $100 or so that I would have to fork out. I am just trying to figure out if I need to overnight it to ensure PCGS gets it before 3/11/09 or if it just has to be postmarked before 3/11/09.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I love how they have a ship date for "first strike" when many who bought on the first day still have not received their coin. Just ore proof that the "first strike" is just a game.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I ordered the first day order #308533xx. Still nothing. No cc charge. Can't get through on the 800 number. Typical government operation. Good thing I'm in no hurry to sell. This is my first and probably last experience with the US mint. And we have millions of sheeple voting for more of this governemt run BS. Where did my freedom loving country go?

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I'm seeing someone is reporting a $12,500 auction bid on a MS70 FS with 4 days to go. I'll report if I find out more.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I'm going to roll the dice and send mine in tomorrow. I called PCGS AGAIN and the lady I spoke with said that the package just has to be POSTMARKED by March 11th and it can be sent in the capsle only. I am just going to order another coin so I can have one graded and one to look at in the purrty box.

Don't you have to get the membership paperwork first, fill it out and send it back to them before you can ship the coin to them?

I'm so jealous! I am sending mine in tomorrow. Did you send the coin in the capsle by itself or in the original mint packaging? Also, did you submit it through a dealer?

ng1469 | 03-05-2009 02:59 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I just sent the capsule and i have had a membership since January (planned on sending this coin in from the beginning so i got the membership early.) I also sent in some other coins with my voucher. I talked to a lady at PCGS about submitting the UHR with a voucher and having other coins with it, but she said I had to submit the UHR separate to get the First Strike on it. Just so you know with the voucher you have to submit all the coins at once. i.e. if you get a voucher for 4 free submissions you have to submit 4 coins at once. The total cost to submit the UHR was like $79 + membership fees. I dont know if they allow you to use a voucher and get a coin with First Strike, you might have to call them again :smile: Either way, good luck hope you get a 70!! :565: :5_1_120:

Maybe I haven't decided yet. It goes against my better judgement even if I can turn a good profit, but we shall see.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I was just doing a little searching and after looking through all the completed auctions on ebay for the UHR i found one person that bought 7 of them!! :36_1_25: There was a handful that bought 3 and even more that bought 2. Some of the auctions had private buyers but these people are crazy. Unless the guy had buyers for the 7 coins or he thinks these things are really going to appreciate a bunch, he must be looking for a way to spend his money. I wish i could message him and ask if he wanted to buy mine to $2k :ok:

Bullionaire | 03-05-2009 08:08 PM
Received today...very, very, underwhelmed.. Compared it to a vintage 1907 high relief at a dealers shop......try it yourself if you get the chance, .....the gold of the 1907 coin is vibrant yellow 22Kt, the alloys and the size difference make it much more alive appearing. After all the anticipation, it really looks like a well struck 2009 Half Eagle......the diminutive size kills it for me. They should have made it the same size as the original, just a tad thinner. The packaging gets an A+..... Going to keep it as I am in at 1189. Chunked it in the safety deposit box, gold at 1500 is on the horizon, so it won't matter...

I am green with envy that you have two in hand. I am sending mine in tomorrow to PCGS through a local authorzied dealer. It's going to make me feel awkward though because when I called him the other day to inquire about the costs, he said that sending it in wasn't the best idea, in his opinion. I just hope I don't regret sending it in. I am planning on purchasing another, though. Looking forward to your write-up and pics tomorrow.

I'm betting the mint will not produce many of these, and will stop production early this year. The 2006 proof buffalo had a mintage close to 300,000. So far the mint has produced 29,000 of the UHR coins and with the problems they are having with quality in minting and distributing, my guess would be 60,000 for the year, and discontinued in 2010. That's my guess.

AV8R | 03-05-2009 08:40 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! To the guys contemplating sending in for certification: If you dont have experience grading coins you might take it to a professional numismatist and have them look it over before sending it off. I received my Double eagle and it will most likely grade MS69 because of some die polishing in the obverse field. To get the 70 grade the coin has to be perfect in every way, you can take an MS69 and compare it to an MS70 and it's virtually impossible to tell them apart, at least it is for me. The main thing certification has done is force the coin traders to be honest, before the graders came on the scene, dealers would undergrade a coin when it was offered for sale, buy it as, say an XF, then sell it as an AU. But even when offering a certified coin for sale I've had dealers disagree with the number on the holder.

So, in other words, getting it graded will probably be worth it? (has fingers crossed).

Thanks a lot for the advice! I will ask the guy at the shop if he can look it over before I send it out. I think that would be the prudent approach. Thanks again.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Good news!! I just received an email from the mint that my coin shipped!!! I will have it in my hand tomorrow!! Going to take it to a local dealer and see about getting it submitted to PCGS. My order was 30838XXX. I ordered on the first day, about an hour and 15 mins after they came up for sale. (thats as close as I can remember)

Hey Mr Gekko, won't PCGS only grade the coin if it's still in its mint packaging?

no, they will grade it if its in a capsule. They will give it the first strike label if it is postmarked before 3/11 (doesnt have to be in original shipping box)

Negative. Their website (and the customer service rep I spoke with at PCGS) says that the coin can and should be shipped in the acrylic capsle if is postmarked before March 11, 2009 (the cutoff date). If it is shipped after that, it MUST be in the original packaging to prove that it was shipped in time for the First Strike designation.

I have no idea. This is a decision that will be made by a coin toss, my token method to resolve these little debates. I'll toss an SAE this weekend and let you know what the outcome is.

Just do it....Get it out of your system....I might do it....It's a small cost.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Thanks for the heads-up I'm still 17,000 off your number - 30855*** about 2 plus hours - but that includes all orders. Boy, that's a MONEY making business too bad it's run like a third-world operation. :504: Quote:

Frankly it's worth the experience. PERIOD. If you don't like the result - CAREFULLY break it out and put it back in the original packaging. This is NOT rocket science - it's only the risk of a few bucks for the FLAG. My guess is like the one above that the MINT going to stop all gold production when it hits past 2 to 3 grand.:fan: After all they stopped just about everything except those OBNOXIOUS second spouse JOBS for the affirmative action mentality administration. I think HILLARY wants her coin! :504::504:

That's my guess.
Rather GREAT guesstimate of the future.

Kind of a double thick EAGLE - and I understand what you mentioned becuse I collect the saints - boy did they escalate in price! perhaps this is like the quaters to coin collecting juxtaposed to the SAINTS! MS65s around $2,900 in common dates RETAIL.

I just took it to the dealer and submitted it. I was wondering; what's stopping the dealer from swapping my coin with say his, or someone he knows who maybe has a UHR DE that has a blemish or something? Also, he didn't charge me. He said he would charge me when it comes in.

I just submitted it. They told me that they aren't shipping it out until Monday. They better get a move on it! I am rolling the dice here and hoping I get an MS70 (or at least my OWN coin back!)

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I decided not to submit mine. I was actually on the way over to the PCGS rep to submit, but it is about a 20 mile drive so I stopped in Phoenix at my favorite hamburger stand (the Burger Factory ant 7th Ave and Osborn - a double bacon burger with large fries) for lunch and as I was eating I realized that I was dreading getting the coin back in the PCGS slab and would not have the coin in the Mint box. When it hit me that I think the coin would really look better the way the Mint has it presented than in a slab, even if it made a MS 70 designation, I decided to just leave it in the Mint wood box as it was intended to be. I finally decided that it is my coin and even if it made it to a 70 I would not be able to part with it. It would be like giving one of my kids up for adoption. I would always be wondering where it would be, and knowing it would not be as happy somewhere else as it would be with me. Gosh, who cares about an increased value in comparison to the happiness of a coin. We are together and that is all that matters. I sure there is a medical term for this type of reasoning, and I might be judged crazy. But at least I am a crazy with a UHRDE. :elefant:

I know exactly how you feel. This is the exact reason why I am ordering another one to keep in the Mint box.

Mr. Gekko, I would say that's the best idea of all. Grade one then keep the other in the virgin mint box. That way you can't lose. I'm thinking I might follow the same strategy while the price is still "low" - correct me if I'm wrong, but won't $1,289 seem VERY low for this coin in 1 to 2 years?

We share the same thoughts. I am just going to have my gf order it and I will give her the dough. And yes, I do agree that the price is "low" right now compared to what it's going to be worth. I am ordering the second one tonight.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Most likely the dealer that submits coins for people,are honest. Costs will be around $100 plus any dealer fees.....Silver PCGS membership is $49 for year and may have been worth it.(Cost/piece of mind)..........One went in Wed. and another one in mail, to go Mon.-Tues....As far as deadlines/opened boxes issue..........I e-mailed PCGS and reponse,as expected. Postmarked to them BEFORE the 11th...for opened boxes.

Thanks for the info. I was contemplating getting a membership, but, EE said that I would have had to have ordered the forms and packaging from them, ultimately causing me to miss out of the First Strike designation.

It really depends if you have done it prior - submitted coin(s). If you get LUCKY and it's a MS70 - then it's all done for you. Frankly - my guess is that you'd sell it after your favorite dog and your first born. But - that's just a guess from a crazy :36_1_25:coin collector. If you have TWO then do just ONE - use the GF - praying she's LOYAL.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I called the mint again today. After several attempts to get into any kind of que I finally was able to get through to someone. I was told that now my coin will ship some time in April. I asked for a sup. After a long wait I was told there isn't one available. The lady kept restating the lie that they are shipping on a first come-first serve basis. I told her that wasn't acceptable and would wait longer if need be to talk with a supervisor. I knew it wouldn't do any good, but I did talk to a supervisor and was told nobody can do anyhting to change anyhting. My only option is to cancel. Looks like ordering withing a few hours of going on sale means absolutly nothing. I'll just chalk it up to yet another reason to despise our parasitic government. I guess I'll just have to accept that this is another government operation that has no integrity, no accountablility and no responsibility to their citizens or customers. I think i'll just go on the assumption that I'll never get it and if I do it will be a nice surprise.

Can download a submission form and send dues and submission fees in the package with coin.....As far as flips(21/2"X21/2") and little white stickers...for 1 coin they will take care of it. Any questions,give them a call. They are easy to talk to.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Well after reading the sup the riot act and letting her know that my experience will be posted, I did apologize to her and let her know that I realize she couldn't help me if she wanted to. And her day is probably filled with one angry call after another. But I explained that she was the only one I could voice my frustration to. But the fact remains, they don't have to provide good customer service or even care about it. They aren't going out of business like most businesses would. Well, at least they would have before the bailout boondoggle.

I do wonder why they switched JOBBER services for a LOT less service? And why they cancelled so many GOLD SILVER & PLATINUM items? And why they ration out things? And why they killed the website services? And why they don't answer the phone for over half-an-hour? And why they don't ship Fed Ex any MORE? And why they are so screwed-up?

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! My day at PCGS http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...E/IMG_0814.jpg My day began with a beautiful almost spring day ride up the California coast. Despite the negatives of this state, it's hard to imagine living anywhere else when you have the shimmering Pacific Ocean on your left and the green hills and mountains on your right. The traffic was light. I arrived at PCGS early and figured since I was there, I'd wait it out while the PCGS girls set up the makeshift "Walk-in Friday" tables. I asked if it would be alright to take a photo of them for our web site and was declined by Diana because she didn't want her picture circulating the net. She was pretty enough, so I can't imagine her missing an opportunity to get some attention like most pretty girls jump at? Maybe I wasn't speaking the right language, and a double-sawbuck could have broke the communication barrier? http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...E/IMG_0816.jpg http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...E/IMG_0818.jpg I stopped into the Marine recruitment office that is opposite the lobby where PCGS sets up and spoke with Marine Sergeant Underwood, a fine professional gentlemen that did two tours in Iraq. A man of respect! In our conversation regarding Iraq, he candidly admitted "we need to get out." I explained that I am a member of a web site club, that I would probably mention him, and that we have a few young members that might be interested in signing up to their fine organization, once they realized their job prospects. I said I would try to point some new recruits his way. http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...E/IMG_0817.jpg What do you young guys think? Are you ready to become a real man, or are you cool with living in your mom's basement? Man up! 10:00 Tables open! I sit down with Diana and fill out the paper work, submit the coins, and I'm out of there. Be back at 3:00 she said! On the way out I spoke with one of the PCGS guys that helps out with admissions, with a smile I asked, "so what do you think about the First Strike label?", his reply..."I think it's fantastic!, what do you think?" I let out a good laugh while he broke out with a funny smile. Nothing more need be said. I took care of a few things in town and came back at 2:00, in case they got done early. http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...E/IMG_0819.jpg No such luck...no worries though, I hung around and shot the breeze with the group that were submitting coins. Being the helpful guy I am, I pulled out my loupe and began grading coins for several guys waiting to submit. I gotta say, I enjoy looking at this stuff...I gave 9 other UHR coins the once over looking for flaws and variations, and they do vary. The guys were appreciative of my help. It was 2:55 when the guy walked out with my coins...they were wrapped in bubble wrap and in a blue box. I calmly opened the package while telling the guy that I'm only expecting 69's and that it is a surprise when you get a 70. Well...I was surprised! It was bingo, payday, party time! The one on top said First Strike MS 70! Immediately a big ass smile came over me and those standing around me knew I was happy. The guy that handed me the box said "congratulation...that was worth waiting for," I agreed. A couple others congratulated me too. I waved to everyone and off I went, back down that shimmering coast, a little happier then before. I have to say, it was a good day! PS, the other coin was a MS 69 http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...E/IMG_0822.jpg I forgot to mention that I spoke with Miles Standish the lead grader for PCGS. He expressed great enthusiasm for this coin, and said they were thrilled to have it to grade!

Okay, now you got me thinking. Can someone give me a rational explanation of this? If they keep changing the die, that's 100 coins per hour on a press, and the dies last 5 hours. That means there really is a new "first strike" created every 5 hours. So why does PCGS insist that the coins only be admissible for the designation based on shipping date? What am I missing here in the logic?

Matt-themaddog-Dollar | 03-07-2009 07:32 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! "First Strike" is just a good marketing slogan -- there doesn't have to be logic. But I can understand people desiring coins that were released earlier in the year -- which is what is implied by the "First Strike" label. EE -- what are your plans for your graded coins? Are you going to keep them, sell them? Thanks for the cool post.

The 69 is good as gone to a friend. As far as the MS70...I thought about maybe taking the initial profit and picking up another sealed in box. The first one has sold on Ebay for $3,500.(too cheap in my opinion, but people are hurting and need to hustle up $'s) My thinking now is, with the controversy surrounding this coin, with the biggest blunder at the mint regarding distribution, getting blanks and the long waiting...that, and the fact, the US Mint virtually has no coins worth buying in the pipe line. This may be the last of a breed? It could be the pinnacle in mintage of modern coin history, and production may stop short of the "mint to demand", they originally set out to produce. At this point, I'll hold and wait it out, until these 70's get done flipping, and find their place to the strong hands. If I sell it, I doubt I'll own another, nor would I want to pay to own one again. I have about $1,300 into this coin and personally, I love it! To me it looks even nicer in the slab and is nicer to handle too. If my bet is wrong, and the mint produces 500,000 of these, then oh well...at least I have a thing of beauty I love owning, and it is a perfect specimen. I'm going long!

It simply means you recieved your coins in the first 30 days of issue. With the US Mint fubar'd, a lot of people had to jump through hoops to get the UHRDE done in this time period, to posess first 30 day issued coins. In other words, it's meaningless! :wink: But PCGS does not lie. Read! http://www.pcgs.com/firststrike/

This may be the last of a breed? It could be the pinnacle in mintage of modern coin history, and production may stop short of the "mint to demand", they originally set out to produce. At this point, I'll hold and wait it out, until these 70's get done flipping, and find their place to the strong hands. If I sell it, I doubt I'll own another, nor would I want to pay to own one again. I have about $1,300 into this coin and personally, I love it! To me it looks even nicer in the slab and is nicer to handle too. If my bet is wrong, and the mint produces 500,000 of these, then oh well...at least I have a thing of beauty I love owning, and it is a perfect specimen. I'm going long!
EE you seem to be a straight shooter - like the ICON fellow on the left so... The way things are going (economy -mint -gold production problems- and world problems) people MIGHT be lucky to get the coins if they order tomorrow. JUST Try to order some other gold coin from the mint for example. Don't know but I'd keep both right now until they become PLENTIFUL. :yes:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I took my coin to the local dealer, and he looked my coin over and said there were a couple of flaws on it, that it wouldnt grade ms70. Not sure if I am going to keep it or just try to sell it right now on ebay. Its kind of a disappointing coin, I dont like that its so think, its practically the same size as my 1/2 ouncers.

At least you got one. They only make a few per die/dye. Keep it for a month then rethink it all - you still have the nice packaging. Be patient. Jesse Livermore: do the research BE RIGHT take your position SIT DAMN TIGHT :ok: Most people lose the most money because they are too impatient. :signs14: Best wishes, HS PS I've hundreds of coins that I'd wish they were MS69 instead of a lot LESS.

EE, thanks for that link. I should have done more research prior to posting my last message. That's informative and it comes from the source. Even after reading the info at the PCGS site, I don't agree that "First Strike" is completely meaningless... that is, it is may be meaningless to people like you and me and others here on GIM, but uninformed consumers might feel that it's actually significant, and over time their desire to own the coin in conjunction with their perspective on the PCGS 30-day policy means the price of the coin rises. Maybe I'm wrong, but only time will tell. I do agree with you that this coin is a bit of a kingpin in the historical sense. We are at a sort of crossroads with gold pushing $1,000, and most likely staying there for a long, long time. I've heard a few slightly negative comments on this coin, usually due to the smaller size. It seems to be a personal thing. But the truth is, no matter what you think of this coin, the value is the value, and that can only rise. With yours at MS70, you're in the driver's seat. Once again, congrats!!

Thanks friend! I'm not sure people that think the coin is too small understand numismatics. I guess they throw out the $1,200 bucks and they expect to see something big, not taking into the account the process to produce something like this. I guy I know at a coin show let me hold a couple gold coins valued at $150,000 (no bigger than a nickel) and $80,000...I let my wife hold them carefully and then I told her what they were worth. She thought I was joking. She was kind of taken back when she realized I wasn't kidding. The purest sees them much differently.

There is going to be a lot of 70's graded, but with respect to the global market, it will not be enough for a coin of this caliber, imo. There needs to be a good amount of desirable coins to make a market. When there are too few something, market interest contracts, because not many people will try to collect coins that are unobtainable. Hopefully there will be just the right amount to have a strong healthy market. So far to date, it is being reported that (36) MS 70 FS's have been documented. I think many are jumping the gun to turn a small profit, before they know how this one in particular plays out. The flipping process will go on until next year, until all these perfect coins are bought up by the strong hands. If the UHR program ends abruptly, we will see the true market value much sooner. RE: US Mint "The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin will be produced and orders fulfilled, subject to gold blank availability." Other winners for good long term appreciation are the 2008-w gold eagles. Four years of production and no longer made. The New Gold Eagle Key Dates Posted by: Michael | Posted in: Gold Eagles Based on last reported sales data, it seems that four 2008 Gold Eagles may have the lowest mintages ever for their respective denominations. This includes one coin which might have the lowest mintage for any American Gold Eagle ever. Three of the new lows were reached for the so-called "collectible" uncirculated versions of the Gold Eagle. The US Mint first offered these coins in 2006. The coins are struck on specially burnished blanks and carry the "W" mint mark for the West Point Mint. Late in 2008, the US Mint announced that most of these collectible uncirculated versions would be discontinued for 2009. The figures below are the last reported sales figures for the 2008 Gold Eagles from Numismaster. The sales figures for each coin reflect the totals from both individual sales plus four coin set sales. For the 2008-W $25 Unc Gold Eagle, the figures also include Double Prosperity Set sales. Final mintage figures for the 2008 Gold Eagles have not yet been released by the US Mint. Gold Eagle Sales Figures 1 oz. 1/2 oz. 1/4 oz. 1/10 oz. Proof 29,399 27,864 28,301 29,155 Uncirculated (W) 12,387 16,126 9,200 13,376 2008-W Uncirculated $50 Gold Eagle - With last reported sales of 12,387, this coin would have the lowest mintage for any one ounce uncirculated Gold Eagle. The next lowest figure is more than double. This coin also has the lowest mintage for any one ounce Gold Eagle in any version. The only one ounce Gold Eagle with a lower mintage was the 2006-W Reverse Proof Gold Eagle at 10,000. 2008 Proof $5 Gold Eagle - With last reported sales of 29,155, this coin would have the lowest mintage for any one-tenth ounce Proof Gold Eagle. The next lowest figure of 34, 977 was reached in 1997. 2008-W Uncirculated $5 Gold Eagle - With last reported sales of 13,376, this coin would have hte lowest mintage for any one-tenth ounce Uncirculated Gold Eagle. The next lowest mintage is the 2007-W with 24,300. This coin would also have the lowest mintage for any one-tenth ounce Gold Eagle in any version. 2008-W Uncirculated $10 Gold Eagle - With last reported sales of 9,200, this coin would have the lowest mintage for any one-quarter ounce Uncirculated Gold Eagle. The next lowest mintage is the 2007-W with 14,615. Most notably, this coin would have the lowest mintage for Gold Eagle ever. This is across all denominations ($50, $25, $10, $5) and all versions (uncirculated, proof, bullion). http://mintnewsblog.blogspot.com/200...key-dates.html

Im definitely not a numismatist. I just didnt think it was all that great of a coin. I wish they had made it larger and thinner like my favorite gold coin, the 4 ducat. Also I didnt really care for the designs all that much, but like I said, Im not really into the numismatic stuff. I am a bullion guy.

The "world" system in numismatics considers the OLD High Relief Saint (charge HUGE BUCKS for it too $300 K for a MS67) in the same "Ball Park (to play on your words)" as the OLD Alexander The Great classical Greek coins in beauty and collectabillity. I'm not into the "world per se" but alway try to recognize something in the way of a trend. EE is rather correct above - who knows how this thing is "going to play out (using the game motiff for highlighting)" in the end. If I was a betting man - I'd grab as many 2009s as possible. But, like you I'm really a BULLION man - full of ole' bullion and stuff!

How many of you jumped on the First Spouse gold coins? I bet a lot of you did. I put the UHR coin in the same category as the First Spouse coins, the mint creates a lot of hype and then the public finds they don't have the stomach for the prices. Personally I will wait to buy one of these UHR coins, once they are sold as bullion like the first Spouse coins are now. The mint can't move them at their asstronomical premiums and then they have to create 4 new dies every year. You know the UHR 25% premium is paying for a lot of other worthless collectibles too. I hope the UHR coins aren't duds for the people that did buy them, but for "long term wealth preservation" they aren't a really logical investment. If you plan to flip it, I hope you make a little on it.

First spouses were basically reality totally mostly :36_1_63:a loss. A super flop. About the only gold coin you can buy from the mint today. :signs14: Somehow the 2009 UHR eagle is a tad better - IMHO - but I may be wrong - I ani't a 100% a prophet - I try to go on fundamentals and trends. :5_1_120: I did buy those 2007 platinum proof sets - when they dropped the price - they should pay off rather good.

For only $175 more than a bullion gold eagle, there's not much risk here. Many dealers hardly have any bullion eagles right now. CNI has none. http://golddealer.com/bullionpage.html As in any collectable, buy what you like, because you might be stuck with it for a long time.

That's completely true. There are only a few coins in the history of the world that compare to the beauty of the UHR. This baby will last. Numismatics has a lot in common with art collecting/appreciation, and the art which is in the most demand and stands the test of time is that which is beautiful and/or historic. The UHR has beauty -- it is without equal in that regard. It is also historic, because it is being released for one year, in a year which will probably be considered a turning point in the history of the United States.

That's true, the regular American Eagle Spot price ($934) + 5% = $980 ( I can buy for spot + $50 locally) whereas for the UHR coins Spot Price ($934) + 38% = $1289 Seems quite steep to me for raw coins that are new to the market. I am just jaded because I have jumped on more than one band-wagon and didn't jump on this one because I have a big chip on my shoulder for the US Mint beacuse they canceled my order for $968 Buffalos in January of this year!

Agreed however, it never did nor was intended to enter "circulation". Real Double Eagles were carried in the pockets of and spent by the public. Don't get me wrong. I just don't consider this more than a commemorative Government issued token.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I don't expect the UHRDE to ever be worth more than $200-$300 over spot which is what it costs to buy directly from the mint. A case in point is the 2006 Gold Buffalo Proof of which the Mint sold (as I recall) about 300,000 coins at $800 per when Spot was about $600, or about $200 over spot. Those same coins are now selling for around $1,200 or about $250 over current spot. I don't believe the Mint will sell 300,000 URHDE's, but they are over 51,000 already which is quite a few when compared to another beautiful coin the Mint produced, the 2006 Reverse Proof Gold Eagle. They only made 10,000 of those. The reverse proof could only be acquired by purchasing a 3-coin set which sold for $2,500 as I recall. The two non-reverse proof coins could be purchased from the Mint for a total of about $1,500 in 2006, which made the cost of the reverse proof about $1,000 or about a $400 premium over spot. Now, that set will run around $4,500. I would guess the Reverse Proof all by itself (assuming you could find it by itself as an ungraded coin)would be somewhere around $2,300 or about $1,400 over current spot. IMO, the difference in value between the 2006 Reverse Proof and the 2006 Buffalo Proof is solely related to the scarcity of the Reverse Proof. If my thinking is correct, then because the UHRDE will be minted in relatively high amounts, the value will never escalate like that of the Reverse Proof. That doesn't mean, however, that the coin is not worth buying. On the contrary, it is a very beautiful coin and the Mint has done an exceptional job in the presentation. I have both the 2006 Buff Proof, and the 2009 UHRDE. I would part with the Buff Proof before I would sell the UHRDE. One coin that I do think will do very well is the one oz 2008 W Gold Buffalo. The mintage on this coin is even less than that of the 2006 reverse proof. Like the Reverse proof, the 2008 W Gold Buff is a one year coin. I think they are currently selling for about $1,600. They should still appreciate nicely.

Yep, except it's a commemorative Government issued token that's selling for 50% over the purchase price just 1.5 months after it's January 22nd opening price of $1189. I'll take that token.

Tell me that when we re-live the early 80's. No disrespect for collectors however, commemoratives have been subject to massive devaluations in somewhat recent history. True numismatic pieces have been victims of the same. One should choose investments wisely. Passions, well that's another thing. :wink:

They only made 10,000 of those. The reverse proof could only be acquired by purchasing a 3-coin set which sold for $2,500 as I recall. The two non-reverse proof coins could be purchased from the Mint for a total of about $1,500 in 2006, which made the cost of the reverse proof about $1,000 or about a $400 premium over spot. Now, that set will run around $4,500. I would guess the Reverse Proof all by itself (assuming you could find it by itself as an ungraded coin)would be somewhere around $2,300 or about $1,400 over current spot. IMO, the difference in value between the 2006 Reverse Proof and the 2006 Buffalo Proof is solely related to the scarcity of the Reverse Proof. If my thinking is correct, then because the UHRDE will be minted in relatively high amounts, the value will never escalate like that of the Reverse Proof. That doesn't mean, however, that the coin is not worth buying. On the contrary, it is a very beautiful coin and the Mint has done an exceptional job in the presentation. I have both the 2006 Buff Proof, and the 2009 UHRDE. I would part with the Buff Proof before I would sell the UHRDE. One coin that I do think will do very well is the one oz 2008 W Gold Buffalo. The mintage on this coin is even less than that of the 2006 reverse proof. Like the Reverse proof, the 2008 W Gold Buff is a one year coin. I think they are currently selling for about $1,600. They should still appreciate nicely.
Good post - very well thought out - appreciate the insight and numbers. HS :yes: The wild card is that the thing (paper) we value these things (precious metals) IN has an FUTURE of a VERY GREAT NUMBER. All boats rise with the TIDE of dollars.

That's true. But we do have to keep in mind that the Real Double Eagles have 80-100 years of time on their side. We will probably have to wait a generation or more before the 2009 UHR becomes as collectible as the original $20 saints because all the collectors who want one now can easily get one direct from the mint. I'm hoping that when gold is at $10,000+, the UHR goes for 2x spot. Still -- it's the best damn commemorative token the government has ever issued.

GG did you send yours in to be graded? I gotta say, the more I look at this coin the more I love it. It is truely the pinacle of US coinage. Where do they go from here?

I totally agree with you. There can't be too many MS70 FS's out there. If mine comes back MS70, I think I will keep it. BUT, if it comes back MS69, what do you think I should do? Flip it on Ebay? I have another ocin coming later in the year which I plan on keeping in the original mint box and not get graded. I am just trying to figure out what to do when my graded coin comes back. Would an MS69 FS be worth holding onto? Or, do you think it would be wise to flip it and pocket the profits? Thanks EE, I really appreciate all your wisdom.:23_1_22:

There will be a lot of 70's...but not enough to meet market demand. I don't think the 69's will do any better than one in an open box...unless production ceases. Let's just hope you get a 70 too!

Numismatics has a lot in common with art collecting/appreciation, and the art which is in the most demand and stands the test of time is that which is beautiful and/or historic. The UHR has beauty -- it is without equal in that regard. It is also historic, because it is being released for one year, in a year which will probably be considered a turning point in the history of the United States.
Yes but it's difficult what to make of the rumor/proposal that the UHR will be minted in palladium in 2010. Would probabaly be a relative sales flop which ironically means it could be good down the road.

Just the MONEY creating deficits (around 6 trillion) by the currenct folks in power will easily raise the prices next year. Double, triple, quadrupple, 10 times? Who knows? It depends upon the UNBELIEVABLE NUMBER trees used and how fast they turn toward their INTRINIC value of WORTH LESS NESS versus the 5,000 years in GOLDEN history. :wink::wink::wink::wink::wink::wink::wink::wink::w ink::wink::wink:

Just recently since GATA http://www.gata.org/ figured out the gold held in TRUST by Treas/FED is probably blown to keep the price down. Problem is when supply is down one has rationing and shortages. :signs14: Take a look at todays availablity! http://www.golddealer.com/bullionpage.html All is about toast.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I received my UHR last week, and since I've been undecided about whether or not to have it graded, I kept the box sealed just in case I decided to go ahead and send it off. Well, the suspense was killing me - knowing it's in that ugly cardboard box and not being able to look at it. Also, when I received the box, I noticed something was loose inside and kept bouncing back and forth when I moved the box. That bothered me a little. So tonight, I finally decided I wasn't going to get it graded after all, took a knife and cut the box open. It looked very well packed, double Styrofoam on top of the box, Mint blue box wrapped in soft foam sheet, inside the very impressive looking wooden box... My heart is pounding, I slowly open the wooden box... and to my dismay, the UHR eagle comes flying out of the box, literally, right in my lap (thank God is didn't land on the floor). WTF?!? Somehow, everything was packed correctly, the coin capsule was carefully put into its cut-out, etc. The only problem is THEY FORGOT TO PUT THE ****ING COIN INSIDE THE ****ING CAPSULE! Instead, they just casually threw it in the box. Now, the coin doesn't look like it has any scratches on it (then again, I haven't looked at it closely yet, as I'm still pissed beyond belief), but the rim looks like it has a number of dings on it from the coin sliding around inside the box. They are minor, but now I know they are there, so it sort of ruins the whole experience for me. Now, the dilemma I'm facing is - what should I do? Should I just suck it up and keep it? OR should I send it back and have them replace it? But then if I do, will they put me at the end of the line after all other orders that have piled in during the last month or so? If so, there is a good chance I may never get a replacement at all... Good thing I didn't send it to PCGS... That would have been $130 wasted. :s15: :s15: :s15:

Well, I'll agree that anything is possible, but reliving the early 80's? Are you saying Eddie Murphy is coming back to do another yet Another 48 Hrs movie? Say it ain't so. Seriously dude, money talks, you know the rest. As long as the price is moving up, things are great. The minute this coin starts to depreciate, get back to me and tell me I made a bad decision. My money's on UP from here.

I called the Customer Service and told them what had happened. She said I should definitely send it back if I'm not happy with it and ask for replacement. Unfortunately, she didn't know how the exchange would be handled, and whether I would get a replacement coin right away (she didn't know if they even had any available right now), or would have to wait for the next batch. I asked her about the rumored blanks shortages and how it could affect my exchange, to which she replied that they haven't received any information regarding such shortages and since they are still taking orders for this coin, they are anticipating to have them all fulfilled. Take it for what its worth. I also took a closer look at the coin, and it looks like there may not be as much damage as I first thought. There are a couple of light scuffs on the rim (not visible to a naked eye), but it's my first and only non-bullion coin, so I don't really have anything to compare to, and don't know what's acceptable and what's not on this type of coin. The edge looks like it has a few very minor "chips" in it when looking with a loupe, but then again, it may just be how all coins are (in other words, maybe my expectations are too high to begin with). Oh, and the capsule is actually damaged, too; a small piece of the edge of the top lid is broken off. While it doesn't affect its function, it looks mighty ugly in the box. My guess is their packaging person tried opening the capsule, broke it, got mad and just put the empty capsule in its place and threw the coin in the box. So, even if I decide to keep the coin, I definitely need a new capsule, but I don't know if you can even buy one somewhere?

Let me preface this by saying that I am really sorry to hear about your experience. It just totally isn't right for them to treat customers like this, especially for such an expensive product. With that being said, I wouldn't hesitate to return it for another. Waiting around a few months for a better coin is a lot better than looking at a damaged coin for the rest of your life (or for however long you plan on keeping it).

This is a nightmare I wouldn't want to deal with. Do this and explain how you've waited long enough, you want another now! :favorites21: Tomorrow during business hours, call back and ask to talk to headquarters. Hope this helps. If the 29,000 they have minted are gone, you are SOL until they find more planchets.

Thanks, I'll try that. As much as the CS lady tried making everything sound like it's not a big deal (me sending my coin back and getting a replacement, sooner or later), the voice in my head keeps telling me not to do it, because I may just never see another coin, ever again. So, unless someone at US Mint can give me a 100% guarantee that they have another coin waiting to be shipped to me once my coin is returned, I probably won't do it. This whole mess once again reinforces my decision to never again get involved with numismatics and just stick with bullion... I don't need this headache.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! C&L, I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I'm anxiously waiting for my coin to arrive and would be really upset if that happened to me. :bear_angry: At that price, I'd return it if the coin is dinged up. If for some reason the Mint runs dry or can't offer a replacement, you still have the option of purchasing from a local trusted dealer, although you'll be stuck with a higher premium. I really hope there's another batch on the way. :bawling:

Sorry to hear about that, and unfortunately your experience is far too common. The mint is notorious for putting coins in plastic holders that dont seal, and then packing the boxes loose so they fly open. Twice I've ordered from them to find coins flopping around naked in the box.

I think HS was being sarcastic in that post, that's all. I spoke to a supervisor at US Mint today trying to get a better understanding of how the exchange process works, and to find out what my chances are of getting a replacement in timely manner. The lady I spoke with assured me that I will be getting my replacement coin in 4-6 weeks (that's their standard turn around time for exchanges), which includes transit time both ways. In reality, she said, I should be getting it sooner than that (with expedited shipping both ways). She also assured me that there is no shortage of blanks for UHR, and all of the rumors floating around are not true. They are fully expecting to keep the production up until December of this year, just as planned. According to her, the shortage rumors are mostly fueled by dealers trying to make huge profits. With rationing of 1 coin per household, they expect to keep up with demand. Also, she said there was a separate queue for all exchanges/replacement orders, and those orders get the priority over new orders and are always fulfilled first. Supposedly, a different department handles exchanges and they get more attention. Take all of the above for what its worth; we all know we've been told things by US Mint that weren't necessarily accurate or even true, but she sounded very confident and knowledgeable. I'm sending my UHR back tomorrow and hoping for the best.

I apologize for using poor taste on a very bad and :signs14: sad tasting situation. The recent Coin World explains that these on-going shipping of UHR Eagles will take a long time as the Mint keeps expanding the deliveries. Sorry EE

I agree! I don't have much to say at the moment. Still waiting to hear back from the dealer for when my coin comes back from PCGS and I am also still waiting on my second one to come in from the Mint.

Good, Good. I'll throw in some righteous indignation that you're waiting on your second while I'm waiting on my first! I can see it now: Mint Crook 1: Do we have any more MS-70 FS that we can send to Gordon Gekko? Mint Crook 2: Sure, here's the last one. Mint Crook 3: What about this poor 1981 guy, he's been waiting months. Mint Crook 1: Do we still have that sidewalk chalk slug that C&L 1911 sent back? Send him that one. :shot:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! from coin blog: **************************8 I Finally Got My UHR! Friday March 6, 2009 My Ultra-High Relief (UHR) gold coin came yesterday, and the UPS guy brought it all the way up three flights of stairs to hand it to me without a signature. The specimen I received looks gorgeous; it's an easy MS-70 in my opinion. I can't see any flaws whatsoever under 10x magnification that were caused by any post-striking event, although I do see the same faint raised hairlines that others have reported. My best guess is that we're seeing these because the relatively soft metal of a pure solid gold coin picks up detail that a 90% gold coin wouldn't reflect, (but I'm sure we could have a lively debate about that as opinions are varied. It might just be that the basining of the dies required for a coin with such curved surfaces would require some kind of hand processing of all the dies and that this is perfectly normal and to be expected.) Coin World reported last week that the UHR dies only last for 500 coins! The coin was loose in the box, like many others collectors reported, but still securely in the capsule. The capsule wasn't fully closed, though. It was all the way closed on one side but only half-way down on the other side. The coin has a bit of a wire rim, but not enough to have caused this lack of closure. The coin isn't rattling around much in the capsule; it's pretty secure. One thing that does concern me more is the strong smell coming the box. It's a very pleasant, wood-like smell, but it means that the wood is releasing vapors that will probably cause the coin to tone over time. (Yes, even pure gold tones, but the toning also comes off very easily. Even so, I'm not sure I like the idea of storing my coin in that box for 40 years.) Of course, the box is stunningly beautiful, like most high-end U.S. Mint product packaging is, but my neighbor had a pretty amusing reaction to it. He follows my newsletter so he was aware of the whole UHR debate, but he's not a coin collector (despite my best efforts.) I had taken the whole kit and caboodle down to show him the package, shipping box and all. As I extracted piece by piece out of the box, (the book-is-coming-later notice, the packing slip, 2 layers of foam, and then finally the tissue-wrapped blue outer carton itself) he watched with interest, but didn't say anything. I slid the blue box out of the blue sleeve, and then took the lid off the blue box to find the inner tissue wrapper covering the wooden box. After removing that and examining the little padded pillow that protects the front of the wooden box, I finally extracted the wooden box itself and held it out for him to admire. He said, "nice box" as I opened it up and handed him the certificate of authenticity. Then I turned the box around so he could see the coin in its pride of place. At this point, he broke out in gaggles of belly laughing! I couldn't help but laugh along with him (not sure why, but laughing is infectious) and then he finally managed to say, "all that to-do for that little bitty coin?!" You have to admit, the box is a little on the big side for a coin about the size of a quarter dollar. ;) But Mint Director Ed Moy should be proud of his accomplishment. He is lucky and blessed to get to see this coin come to market before Obama puts a Democrat in the Mint Director's job. Too bad about all of the surrounding distraction regarding the shipping of this coin, because this coin will be remembered forever. Too bad the mess surrounding its shipping will be a part of that history. You can see photos of all of these UHR packaging elements, plus side-by-side photos of the 2009 UHR next to the original 1907 version, in the Coin Collecting Forum. Be sure to join the discussion and share your opinion of this great American accomplishment!"

Established 1960 goldline.com/Gold-Coins Coins Ads Coin Values Valuable Coins Coins for Sale USA Coins Sell Gold Coins On March 13, 2008, U.S. Mint Director Ed Moy announced to the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee his intent to recreate the Ultra-High Relief Double Eagle (UHRDE) $20 gold piece which was designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1907. Saint-Gaudens� design proved impractical to produce with the technology of 1907, so a modified version of the artist�s creation was used on the Double Eagle from 1907 until the denomination was discontinued in 1933. The last coin in the series has always been controversial, with the Mint denying that any of the 1933 Double Eagle issues were released to the public, although several specimens are in private hands. When the Mint announced a new Double Eagle for 2009, it had no way of knowing that the public release of the new piece would become as controversial and mysterious as the release of the last piece. What follows is a timeline of key events in the release of the UHRDE gold coin. Events Prior to the UHRDE Release March 13, 2008 A U.S. Mint Press Release reveals plans to recreate the UHRDE gold coin. The Mint chooses to develop a 27-mm version of the coin, based on the second trial pattern used in 1907. This pattern, created from two $10 Gold Eagle planchets (coin blanks) melded together, could not be struck for circulation in 1907 as the Mint had no authority to produce coins of this size. The new UHRDE coins based on this pattern will only be sold in 2009. Congressman Michael Castle introduces a bill in the House (H.R. 5614) to require the coin to be struck in palladium to make it more affordable for collectors. Gold closes in London at $995.00 per ounce. April 28, 2008 Senator Max Baucus introduces a companion bill in the Senate (S. 2924) to require the UHRDE coin to be struck in palladium to make it more affordable to collectors. Gold closes in London at $890.50 per ounce. May 2, 2008 A U.S. Mint Press Release indicates that Treasury Secretary Paulson has approved the coin. Although a $20 bullion piece is not currently in use, a section in the 1992 law which authorized the 1995/1996 Atlanta commemorative coin program gives the Secretary authority to issue gold coins in any size, denomination, weight, or fineness as needed (Public Law 102-390). May 15, 2008 H.R. 5614 passes the House of Representatives. After the Bill is referred to the Senate Banking Committee, no further action is taken. July 30, 2008 At the American Numismatic Association's Baltimore coin show, the Mint unveils a display showing the current development and history of the UHRDE coin. November 24, 2008 The Mint holds a First Strike ceremony for the UHRDE coin at the West Point Mint facility and begins production of the coin. UHRDE Events Following Release January 22, 2009 The U.S. Mint officially begins taking orders for the UHRDE coin. Collectors report problems with the online and phone ordering systems, especially in the first few hours. Uncertain of demand for the coin and concerned about a global shortage of gold, the Mint warns customers that it may take six to nine months to fulfill orders. The initial price of the coin is $1,189. Gold closes in London at $860.0 per ounce. Orders placed during the first hour are given an initial January 28th shipping date. Orders placed throughout the rest of the day are given the shipping date of February 6th. January 27, 2009 The Mint releases initial sales figures for the UHRDE. Approximately 28,000 coins are sold on the first day, and approximately 42,000 coins had been sold as of midnight, January 26th. Many customers who ordered the UHRDE on the first day began to receive email notifications that shipping will be delayed until February 11th, and in some cases, as late as February 20th. February 3, 2009 Some customers are able to see their coins as �In Stock and Reserved� on the Mint�s Web site with February 6th ship dates. During the unveiling ceremony for the UHRDE exhibit at the Philadelphia Mint, Ed Moy reveals that the Mint has struck 29,000 UHRDE coins so far. February 6, 2009 Collectors begin to report en masse that their �In Stock� coins have shifted to �Backorder� status, and shipping dates have been delayed to February 20th. In spite of this, many customers report that a funding hold has been placed on their credit cards or that their cards have been charged for the coin. Over the next several weeks, funds are released or the charges are reversed. February 9, 2009 A handful of collectors report that they have received the UHRDE coin. Most of the collectors who received their coins admit to placing their orders on the 3rd to 5th day after sales begin. This is contrary to the "First In, First Out" (FIFO) promise previously made by the U.S. Mint regarding this coin. Customers calling the Mint�s Customer Service Center are told variations of the following reasons for not receiving their coins � a reminder of the six-month potential delay, a reminder of gold shortages, a denial that any coins have shipped, and denials that 29,000 coins had been struck. UHRDE Related Security Flaws Emerge February 12, 2009 The Mint�s Track Order feature mysteriously disappears. Online reports indicate that there is a security flaw on the Mint�s Web site. Reports state that the Track Order feature could be accessed without logging in to the Mint�s Web site, and anyone who had the order number and customer's surname could cancel the order without being logged in. February 14, 2009 Reports begin to surface that some customer orders have been canceled, possibly through information shared on the Internet and the Mint�s Web site security flaw. Reports begin to surface that the Mint no longer requires signatures for delivery of coins, regardless of the value being shipped. Reports begin to surface that shipping problems with the UHRDE coin may be caused by the companion book that is supposed to be shipped with the coin. Guide since 2006Susan Headley Coins

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! 1 hour till the fedex guy comes. Have to decide by then if I should send my coin to PCGS for grading. I am not concerned so much about the money it will cost me for this. My concerns: 1. The original capsol is not sent back to you with the graded coin. My plan was to remove the coin from the MS69 holder if I so choose in the future. They told me to write "send back the original capsol" on my order form in a few places, maybe PCGS would break protocall and send me back the original capsol, but maybe not. And they insisted that I send the coin in the original capsol when I called 2. The ever so slight danger that the package would be lost intransit going either way, so if I cannot get another coin from the mint (ordered Yesterday) then I get the FRN's back as insurance but no coin. If the coin comes back as a MS70, then I will still break it out of the seal later on if the MS70 does not get me a serious premium. That said, wonder if the mint would send me an empty capsol if I asked...

Same boat - mine came today at 10:00 a.m. looks like MS70 under 10 X loop power. (Check YOURS before sending it in! Please) I have a lot of MS saints and double liberties too - the new coin looks like a super thick $10 Indian; sorry for the ones that love it. Frankly, I'm keeping it in the box and storing it. Maybe in a FEW months I'll walk it through during a major coin show. Pretty coin but they shoulda woulda coulda mighta maybea made it a tad BIGGER BIGGER BIGGER. But, it's still a fine coin just in between two dozen MS64 & MS65 SAINTS it KINDA GETS LOST! :signs14::yes: I wonder if the mint going to cancel these soon as a loss leader - meaning that the dies and the problems are stacking up for the profits gained. Also I wonder if the gold available is a problem?

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I have noticed that the PCGS MS70's on ebay are going for a lot less than they did a week ago. I have seen some sell for the low to mid 2000's. Kind of disappointing IMO. I am having regrets about sending mine in and I haven't even gotten it back yet!

People are hurting and need money. IMO, they are foolish to sell them that cheap, before this whole thing plays out. It might be wise to grab some in the low $2,000 range.

No regrets, Mr. Gekko. No regrets. In time the value will rise to the challenge.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! The MS70 UHR's are going for alot more than MS70 GAE's (as they should). And we must remember that the original Saints have 80-100 years on their side.

That's true. Perhaps I'll just hold onto my graded one for a while and see what pans out. That'll probably be the best play.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Well people I gave in to fleabay and bought one sealed for $1745, I have one on order from the mint as well. My plans are to keep one sealed and one for show. I figured keeping one sealed for a few years will be rare and I could turn a decent profit on. Im tired on waiting on the mint and with people receving notices about their orders being cancelled who knows what will happen with the UHR. I ordered mine on the 13 of February and have yet to see any charges on my credit card so it will be a long while if I ever get the coin

I looked at it as a $456 premium. They dont sell for less than $1289...tough to swallow such a high premium but with the uncertainty surrounding UHR's god knows what will happen. I dont feel too bad about the purchase, I have plenty of vintage toys Ive been wanting to sell that will bring in a few hundred dollars each and could potentially pay for the coin and then some. At this time putting my money on gold or silver is more important than plastic toys. Toys can become a stagnant market

Well, you'll probably make it back when I have to buy yours for $3000 'cause the mint suspends the program.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! The UHR is still listed for sale on the Mint website but the "won't ship until May 24th" text has disappeared. That makes me a bit nervous. Arr, I want me coin! :tongue_ma:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Ya, I saw that, Chad. Are you planning on buying the UHR elsewhere? My mom placed a second order for me this past weekend (either Sunday or Monday - I'll need to check her receipt). I won't see her again until tomorrow so I'll let you guys know if she received anything about her order being canceled. :bear_cry: :bawling: :bear_cry:

Don't worry, that just means that the mint is caught up and everyone who ordered one before today now has theirs. If you don't have yours by now it means that UPS left it on your door step last week and some punk kids stole it for drug money. :biggrin:

Palladium? Why did you jump into that!?! Sell it quick and get a Krugerrand or something! Quick, before GM files for bankruptcy and palladium starts showing up in Chinese products 'cause it's cheaper than lead!

I beg to differ. Palladium might indeed be a very lucrative investment at this time: Norilsk may close Tati Mine "Norilsk, the world's largest nickel and palladium producer." http://www.mmegi.bw/index.php?sid=4&.../March/Friday6 Why Palladium ETFs are booming Commodity Online "Palladium has enjoyed a similar rally to platinum, fixing at $217/oz on 18th February, its highest since November 2008. There is a solid reason for the recovery -- production is being cut at many mining companies, and Norilsk reiterated its much-reduced output forecast for 2009." http://www.commodityonline.com/news/...15841-3-1.html

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Well guys something very weird has happened to the credit card i used to buy the second UHR (which i ordered on Feb 13). My limit has decreased drastically which means the mint has hit up my crdit card with a charge and since according to the website: When placing your order, please consider your credit card�s expiration date, as charges will coincide with shipment. If your credit card has expired by the time of shipment, your order will be cancelled. To update your credit card information, you must call 1-800-USA-MINT and have your order number available. This could mean my order is on its way or will be shipped very soon. The elimination of the May 24 shipment notice could be good or bad. Im leaning towards bad...since some people are getting cancelling notices

Sounds to me like yours is on its way :565: The same thing happened to me when they shipped mine, FWIW.

Yeah but why are some people reporting orders being cancelled. This cant be good at all, perhaps they have taken enough orders for the amount of blanks they have. My order according to their schedule was supposed to ship on or about the 6th. Im pretty excited but now Im stuck with 2 of them, its not problems as I can keep one for myself and one for resale. This may sound evil but Im hoping that they are pretty much done with production, at least for a good long while. It reduces the amount of UHR's out there.

i figure russia controls 45% of the world's palladium, and russians are good horse traders. plus it's historically really, really cheap now.

Yes, yes it is very evil. Until I get mine, and then I hope the presses break and ten thousand gangsters steal them off everyone's porch and melt them for scrap. But that's just me.

I read on Kitco that you ordered yours 12 days after the initital sales, if so you should be seeing a charge on your card very soon. All these cancellation reports are definitely not a good sign but I highly doubt that the mint has completely stopped production on them. It is possible that they have halted production temporarily until they can catch up on orders or to get more blanks. I hope the production is extremely limited so those of us who get it can enjoy nice return when it is time to sell. Best of luck...let us know when you get a hit on your card

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! From the front page of the 'shop online' link: "The United States Mint is pleased to announce that we will resume shipping the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin during the week of February 22, 2009. However, because of production problems with the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin Companion Book, you may receive only the COIN and presentation box at this time. If you are a customer who receives the COIN without the Companion Book, we will ship the Companion Book to you, at no extra charge, when it becomes available. For information on how this may affect the return of the product if you are not satisfied, please see FAQ #210." http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs...atalogId=10001 My tracking order went from back ordered status to 'in stock and reserved'. :36_3_12: edit: still no anticipated shipping date showing, however. I'm not sure if this is a good sign!

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! :yes: It is a good sign..Orders go from, HOLD to IN PROCESS to IN STOCK and RESERVED to SHIPPED.....Mine are at the grading company now(PCGS). Ordered first hour available and by chance, got shipment. That darn book was holding everyones' up. Check for ANY damage on receipt and return for replacement. These should be near perfect.

I just checked my status and it says In stock and reserved, the book says it is backordered expected to ship on April 1st. Does anybody have any experience in sending coins to PCGS or NGC personally rather than through a dealer??? What is their turnaround time and would my coin be eligible for First Strike or Early release designation if the box itself says 3/11/2009. Also which company is better...NGC or PCGS????

hernancortes | 03-13-2009 12:26 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! PCGS gives fewer 70 grades which is why they tend to fetch more money. I do not think they are appreciably more conservative on sub-gem grades and many claim that NGC is actually more consistent.

Call both the companys talk to customer service - PCGS is a better hallmark (slightly). Both are not in a hurry to get your coin(s) back to you. Only ANACS was great in that regard. I would probably join PCGS if it was my first ti:wink:me. I see that the UHR Eagles are now $1289 and ship this month if you order today. Now - I PRAY everyone out there has their UHR Eagle in the personal possession held closely and dear - and forever shall you BOTH be together.

I see! different search title. One thing is for sure, a whole lot of these are grading MS 70. Not sure how these will play out, but I'm keeping mine. Mint sales are slowing too. Maybe people are getting tapped out?

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Finally got mine on friday the 13th...It's perfect and would probably grade a 70.

Yea, when I do an Ebay search for the coin, I just type in "Ultra High Reflief". If mine comes back MS70, I might just have to flip it if I could get $3,000 for it.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Im have a great dilemma here and it is the fact that I have a sealed one coming from Ebay with a postmarked date of 3/11 which would make it eligible for First Strike and I also have one that the mint is going to send me soon, however that one will not qualify for the FS designation. Should I take the one I get from Ebay and send it in to get graded and keep the second one sealed in the package or open that one and leave it ungraded. Im thinking that in the long term future if i keep the second one sealed it could fetch a nice premium since not many wil be left in a sealed box. I definitely want to send the one from Ebay to get graded but I really dont know what to do with the second one wether to open it or leave it in the sealed box

What if the one you have in the sealed box is defective/scratched/damaged/etc.? I learned the hard way, but at least I was within the 30 day exchange window (for orders placed in January). With new orders, you only get 7 days return/exchange window, and once you're out, you're stuck with whatever "surprise" is waiting for you in that sealed box.

That's a very good point. I will more than likely be opening up my second one if/when it comes in.

Im not too sure I want a "surprise", two UHR's will be nice to have and hell even if I open the second one I can still keep the shipping box. I guess my vintage toys thinking is what is taking over. Im a sealed toys type of guy but its not gonna matter so much with coins so long as it is in the capsule. Was the sscratched coin that was posted on this forum yours??? I remember seeing one that looked like it was dragged across the concrete

See, that's the problem, my coin wasn't even in the capsule, it was just loose in the box. You can see my post on the page 21 of this thread. Here's my post about it: http://goldismoney.info/forums/showp...&postcount=823

Great! NGC was who I'll probably submit to, if I do - cheaper for me. That disgusting and fraudulent "First Strike" label from PCGS makes me sick.

My Mom never sent me to pick peas for dinner when I was growing up...:biggrin:LOL

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! There is too many 70's coming back, not that its a bad thing but I think the market will be flooded with 70's before you know it. I think NGCs are fetchng more because the cutof was on the 9th instead of the 11th like PCGS It will be interesting to see how it all pans out when the dust settles

First Strike merely means it was packaged for shipment from the U.S. Mint within a month of their official release date. That is the definition. To those who would pay thousands of dollars for a coin without first educating themselves of this fact, one can only say, caveat emptor.

There is no purpose to use the term "First Strike" except for deceit. Caveat Emptor is irrelevant when fraud is involved.

Dude, you're completely missing the POINT. The term FIRST STRIKE is used exactly as I stated. There is NO FRAUD here. If there were fraud involved, lawsuits would be flying, and they aren't. Read for yourself: First Strike Coins http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Strike_Coins

WHY are you defending this shit? NGC's "Early Release" is not dishonest on its face. "First Strike," to any man of average or better intelligence, would read the phrase "first strike" and assume it meant something meaningful relating to the coin's early production. Not until the sophistry comes into play is that "clarified." "First Strike" is a marketing trick, and regardless of the "disclaimers" the term is dishonest. Why use it?

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Funny thing last night; I went on the US Mint shopping page and the "ONLY gold" item or thing you could buy was the UHR Eagle - with a WAIT! No platinum items for sale. No silver proof - only ONE LOWLY uncirculated silver ounce for 38.00 plus shipping - hell of a deal. Gosh, I wonder, wasn't their MISSION to have precious metal coins available to the public? :favorites21::favorites21::favorites21:Oh well. Boy, let's hope they did not "ALSO" fail their first MISSION to KEEP the GOLD safe :Surrender: in their CUSTODY and CONTROL. We did have the last AUDIT under EISENHOWER in the EARLY 1950s.

Take it as a lesson when you let non-coin people handle your precious. Tell hubby to stick to things he's better equipped to handle...like taking out the trash and picking up the dog excrement. I think you should forgive hubby quickly and never let him touch precious again!...uh, I'm talking about the coin, not "that" precious. :wink:

Now that's from a "TRUE COIN NUMISMATICIST PERSON" - be careful or you'll cause a divorce over the UHR. Cut the fellow a little slack. Gosh, some of us (and I'm looking in the MIRROR) are a tad clumsy - like JAR JAR BINKS. :yes::111::111: In that vain from another site: Do people not understand just how bad these new practices by the grading services are? The same companies that are assisting in determining the value of coins by authenticating them and placing a degree of preservation on them are now also in the business of creating value in these same coins. That’s a bad precedent that does not bode well for the numismatic community. These new practices by PCGS and NGC sure sound like a conflict of interest to me. A 1907 UHR graded MS-63 by PCGS is valued at about $26,000. If it’s taken out of its tomb (slab), it’s theoretically still worth the same amount of money. It’s the same coin in the same state of preservation with the same mintage. Re-grade it and it might actually come back worth more as the result of a higher grade. Take a first strike coin out of its tomb and it’s worth the same thing as all its siblings – its “true” value. In this case the extra value was in the piece of plastic surrounding the coin. Not in the coin itself. If the Mint released a press statement saying they intentionally delayed shipping some of the coins just to thwart the FS and ER practices, I’d probably say “way to go Mint!!!”. I might give them some brownie points for that. If enough consternation is PLACED maybe the MINT will adjust the way they ship to avoid the problems.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I received mine yesterday. It's really impressive to me but my wife said "why is this one so special? It looks just like the others." I think the packaging is a little ridiculous. No wonder this thing cost so much. They could have made the box 1/4 the size. It takes up a lot of space in the safe for only one ounce. I'm gonna take it outside in the light to really appreciate it today. This one is a keeper. I won't take it out of its casing and I don't believe in grading modern coins.

You made me chuckle. :haha: In a nearby thread I see that a few years back the Canada Mint made just 700 of one of their platinum bullion coins - Imagine if that type of thing were to happen all of a sudden to the UHR Eagles - say in the next few months they JUST cut off sales at 60,000. So instead of one year of UHR Eagles we have a few months minting/manufacturing - for whatever reason gold prices, blanks, production problems, die problems, total stopping of gold sales by mint (now that isn't too hard to believe take a look at the current site), they don't want to make J6P rich, or SSUV either, a short squeeze on gold, and perhaps something else I don't have off the top of ole flat top. Then - and REALLY then the folks that sold their Brand New smackin' UHR Eagles will be CHAGRINED and start buying them back at many times the cost. These are funny type numismatic coins. I know they are technically bullion - but that kinda got BLOWN off with the rationing equasion thrown in by the US Mint Boyz. REMEMBER The ORIGINALS (bigger and much rarer - OF COURSE - sell for way more than their NUMERICAL number of survivers indicate. In other words there is a HUGE premium for the ULTRA HIGH and HIGH relief varities. I just decided to get a few more. By the way; you can order now and they say they'll ship this month! Now that a TOUT to the wise with great upside potential. Hell, I'd order MUCHO right now IF I COULD.The historical ryme is that these can easily become a classic like a 1965 Mustang (don't you wish... or a 1953 Corvette owned by ELVIS) now I'm really pulling your leg. But you might get the picture. When you are ACTUALLY living history you fail to see the future. That's why the current premium is already about 100% on the EBAY rip-offs. banchabanchabanchabanchabancha:banana::banana::yes :

Wisdom and vision beyond your years. I went on the US Mint site only gold coin was the UHR with the LOUSE SPOUSE; NO platinum coins period NADA; no proof silver coin - only one MS silver ounce. 3 coins there used to be 10 gold 8 platinum 2 silver 3 out of 20 "can't be good for the future, right?" Really sad to report. Their mission was to provide the PM coins. I only hope their other mission to HOLD the U.S. PEOPLE'S Gold in trust is in tact. And not way off in the BOWELS of the DEEP EARTH as they reported in the US Secretary of Treasury notice when the last one BUGGERED off. :signs14::wink:

Her's the latest from WEISS today: banchabanchabanchabancha Gold's About to Burst Out of Its Recent Range by Sean Brodrick Dear Steven, My friend Kevin just regaled me with a story about his trip to the mall � a guy was there handing out plastic bags for people to use to turn in their gold for cash. "Holy cow!" Kevin said. "It was like a mobile pawn shop." Kevin resisted the urge to run home, find his gold and sell it to the plastic-bagger at the mall. You see, Kevin is a smart cookie and knows a thing or two about gold. He's a buyer, not a seller, of gold coins. Gold is approaching an inflection point that could be good for gold owners, like Kevin. And it could be good for gold traders, too! I want to tell you about that today. And while I'm at it, I'm going to give you tips on how to sell your gold � if that's still what you want to do. But first, why ... Gold is About to Break Out Of Its Recent Range Let's look at a chart of gold as tracked by the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) ... This daily chart shows that gold has been in an intermediate uptrend since November. But it peaked out last month and went into a short-term downtrend. The GLD is now below its 20-day moving average, which is a quick-and-dirty dividing line that can tell you if the trend is up or down. Now we need to wait and see which way gold goes ... If the GLD bounces higher from this inflection point and goes up to break the short-term downtrend, great! You can buy the GLD or a fund like the PowerShares DB Gold Double Long ETN (DGP), which is meant to deliver twice the daily performance of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity index � Optimum Yield Gold Excess Return, to ride that move higher. On the other hand, if the GLD breaks the uptrend, you can go short with a fund like the PowerShares DB Gold Double Short ETN (DZZ). This ETF is designed to replicate twice the inverse of the daily performance of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity index � Optimum Yield Gold Excess Return. In other words, for each 10 percent drop in the underlying gold index, the DZZ could jump 20 percent. Internal Sponsorship Charter Enrollment must close TONIGHT! What are you waiting for? This is truly your last chance to enroll as a Charter Member in our Million-Dollar Contrarian Portfolio! What are you waiting for? This is truly your last chance to enroll as a Charter Member in our Million-Dollar Contrarian Portfolio! Click here to learn more ... But a word of caution: Leveraged funds, like DGP and DZZ, aren't for buying and holding � they're for short-term trading. And losses can pile up twice as fast if the price of gold goes against you. Of course, if gold does drop lower, you might simply consider that a chance to buy gold on the cheap. Why is that? First, I have to give you some background ... Gold Collectors, Investors, and Speculators Buying Like Crazy ... The U.S. Mint has stopped producing its 2009 American Gold Eagle proof and uncirculated coin for collectors. Last week, the United States Mint officially announced the suspension of another slate of gold and silver products. The mint is suspending its 2009 American Gold and Silver Eagle proof and uncirculated coins produced for collectors. These collectible versions of the bullion coins represent a sizeable amount of precious metal sales to individuals. The Mint is still making gold bullion coins, but quantities are limited. And no wonder: The U.S. Mint sold four times as many American Gold Eagle coins in January 2009 as it did in the same month a year ago. This is following the trend established last year when sales of the Mint's one-ounce American Eagle gold bullion coins rocketed to 710,000 ounces, up from 140,000 ounces a year before! And it's not just the U.S. Mint that has seen gold coin sales soar ... The Royal Canadian Mint, which produces Maple Leaf bullion coins, said it quadrupled its production capacity late last year as demand for gold and silver bullion products shot up. Recently we saw the holdings of GLD, hit a record 1,056 metric tonnes on March 15. That's more than the gold held by the Swiss government! And other ETFs around the world are adding to their holdings as well. Take a look at this one-year chart from Sharelynx.com ... This chart shows that the rise in ETF holdings of gold has been extraordinary in just one year � from 38 million ounces of gold to 60 million ounces of gold. So why does this translate into a tremendous opportunity for you to buy gold? Well, you have to remember that a big chunk of the money in gold-based ETFs is speculative money. Investors are using these funds to ride the rise in gold prices. If gold and the ETFs break their uptrends, we'll probably see speculators sell their holdings, which should drive the price of gold down rather quickly. And that, in turn, should push down the price of the American Gold Eagles that are on the market. So if you've been looking for an opportunity to pick up American Gold Eagle coins on the cheap, this could be your best chance for years to come. A pullback on gold prices to between $850 and $800 an ounce would not surprise me. Remember though, dealers are getting hefty premiums on bullion right now, so you'll have to figure that in your cost. Plus, if you're buying from a Web site, you'll have to add mailing costs. So, would a break of this uptrend in gold prices worry me? Not much. I believe that a pullback is fine � a normal and necessary part of any bull market. Take a look at this monthly chart of gold prices ... You can see that gold has a long way to go before testing its longer-term uptrends. And if gold bounces and heads higher from here, you can pile in to the gold ETFs. Either way, you can win! Subscribers to my Red-Hot Commodity ETFs service are out of gold now. But I'll be sending them a flash alert the moment I see a breakout up or down. Now, if You Still Want To Sell Your Physical Gold ... A friend of mine in the business can't keep Gold Eagles in stock. But he has plenty of inherited jewelry that's being turned in all the time, having outlived the lifespan of anyone who ever thought it was pretty. Before you trade your gold jewelry for cash, there are three pointers you should follow. And here are three pointers he told me that gold sellers need to know ... #1) The price you get varies widely. * Independent buyers who sell directly to a refinery can pay the most � up to 70 percent of the melt (spot) price of gold. Gold dealers will pay you about 50 percent of the melt price. * Pawn shops will pay you the next level � a good one will pay 40 percent to 50 percent of the melt price. In my experience, the firms that advertise on TV will pay you the least. The average is about 33 percent, or 33 cents on the dollar. I've even heard of people getting as little as 10 cents on the dollar! And I'd wager that the guys who hand you a plastic bag in the mall and offer to buy your gold probably pay about the same as the TV pitchmen. #2) You should know exactly how much gold you have. Some companies don't even tell you how they based the amount they give you! And if you don't know the weight, you have no idea what kind of a deal you're getting. But it's hard for people to know exactly how much gold they have since most gold jewelry is not 24 karat (pure) gold. That's because pure gold scratches and dents easily and is more expensive, so jewelers combine it with other metals. For example, if you know you have 18 karat gold, that's 75 percent pure gold. If your 18 karat gold necklace weighs one ounce, and gold is trading at $900 an ounce, that's $900 x .75 or $675 worth of gold at the melt price. If someone says they're giving you 70 percent of the melt price, they should pay you $675 x .70 = $472.50. The lesson here: Bring your own calculator and do your own math. If you have the time, have your gold jewelry appraised at more than one place and write down which pieces are 18 karat, 22 karat, 14 karat, etc, and their weights. And when it comes to weights, here's something else you should understand: Gold is measured in troy ounces � 12 troy ounces to a troy pound. If you go to a jeweler, he might use pennyweights. There are 20 pennyweights in a troy ounce. There are also 31.1 grams in an ounce of gold. Notice this is different from the grams you use in food. So if you have a food scale at home, it probably uses 28 grams per ounce. It can be a bit confusing if you're not used to the system. So, it's best to have your gold weighed by a trusted source. #3) Sell when prices are going up. You're likely to get the best deal from a buyer if he thinks he can sell your gold at a higher price. These three simple tips should help you get the best price for your gold jewelry. But as far as investing goes, my suggestion is to be a buyer on pullbacks. And when it comes to trading, you can go long or short, since there's money to be made on either side. Yours for trading profits, Sean P.S.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Ok now Im totally confused. Up until a few days ago the mint placed a temporary hold on my account and now it is totally gone, not even a decreased credit line like it was showing a couple of days ago. Now Im worried if I will even get it since the temporary hold totally disappeared. Has this hapenned to anybody, Im wondering if they will cancel my order altogether. Usually temporary holds go to a posted charge after a few days. Im confused

I've seen a few posts about this here and on kitco. They seem to run the gamut from reposting immediately to never coming back up. Not sure what to tell you, but mine is still a pending charge on my Debit Card for the last three days and has never gone to permanent.

1981 | 03-18-2009 05:36 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Also, something else that changed was that the charge was listed as basically some gibberish initially, but now says "US MINT COIN SALES-DR WASHINGTON 01" as of today. Not sure if it's significant or not.

smyles | 03-18-2009 05:37 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! My frustration builds as the saga continues. Still no coin. So I go through the trouble of creating an account on US Mint in hopes of tracking the order. But alas, the mint says I have no order (even though I received shipping email on 3/12). So I call and the automated service says my order is still being processed. WT... So I wait the long wait to talk to Audrey who tells me that UPS has the coin but can't say when I'll receive it. I tell her just how frustrating this whole affair is getting and she's silent. I ask her if she has been getting yelled at so much that she is immune to complaints and she says yes, pretty much. So I finally yank a tracking number from her and UPS shows this: Tracking Number: xx xxx xxx xx xxxx xxx x Type: Package Status: Billing Information Received UPS has received the electronic transmission of shipment detail from the shipper and a label has been created for your shipment. Once UPS has possession of this shipment, the tracking status will be updated. What should I do? No action is required at this time. This is the most up-to-date information about the status of your shipment. Check Tracking periodically for shipment progress updates. If you don't see your shipment status change, you may choose to contact the sender to confirm that they have given the shipment to UPS. Billing Information Received Shipped To: xxxxxxx Shipped/Billed On: 03/12/2009 Service: NEXT DAY AIR Special Instructions: SIGNATURE REQUIRED Weight: 2.50 Lbs So here it is 5 days past the shipping date on a next day air item and who really knows where the thing is. UPS says they consider it lost and I have to call the mint back and request a tracer put on it. What a terrible first time experience with the mint. I'm ready to pull my hair out and ship to them next day air. Gee, I sure am glad I rushed to order on Jan. 22. The US mint epitomizes the utter incompetence of government agencies. I should have known better than to deal with them.

smyles | 03-18-2009 06:14 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Update: Rachael at the US mint tells me that they don't need to put a tracer on the coin. The problem, she explained, is that I choose a gift wrap for the item, which I did not. She admitted that the coin has not shipped and they are having problems with "gift wrapping". She said it's an easy fix. She just needs to remove the gift wrap request and refund $5.95 to me and now they can ship it. But she doesn't know when. I'm in the twilight zone no doubt.

Those are all active auctions with average bids of $1500+ and hours before closing, so they are hardly an indicator of the coin's going rate. Completed listings, however, show the lowest winning bid of $1550 for ungraded coin, and majority of the auctions ended with $1650+ bids. Graded coins closed even higher.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Still don't have mine. Thought posting that here would make me feel better. Nope. Did you see that the mint has put back up their 5/24 ship date for new orders but taken down their 6-9 month wait warning? What's up with that? I was also wondering if the books are on hold so that the Mint can add a chapter about how after hyping the thing for a year they fell flat on their face and couldn't ship for months even though they had 29,000 ready to go day one. :508: I'm now hoping to have mine before we get to post #1000 on this thread.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! 1981, I ordered the Prosperity Set on the same date you ordered your UHR, and it finally shipped today (it's already in UPS's system and moving). I don't know if it makes you feel any better, but maybe they shipped a bunch of other orders today, too. :23_1_22: My own UHR, on the other hand, has been returned to the US Mint and the replacement has shown up in my on-line account, with "In stock and reserved" status. And so the wait continues... I also need to get my $30 shipping reimbursement from them now, and it looks like it will be a hassle, too. :rant:

Yeah, I'm kicking myself for not ordering more than 1 set. At the time I felt the set was overpriced, but then the prices on fractionals started climbing like crazy (especially the Buffs), so I thought what the heck and ordered one. Looking back now, that price looks like a steal.

No one knows for sure. I had several conversations with US Mint's CS reps (and a few supervisors), and they all assured me that production will continue through December of this year. But then again, I wouldn't put too much trust in what they say... :no_ma:

Nah, you are being TOO judgmental, just because they stopped every other gold coin (except the Lousy Spousy) and every other platinum coin under their absolute mission to produce - WHY would you even slightly suspect they'll ever stop making the BASTION of FREEDOM GOLD COIN of the CENTURY -THE wonderful UHR Eagle?

You mean he will never touch the precious???? Sorry I had to say that :s1:

Hey, we're in the same BOAT. I ordered another last week they should ship IT :Surrender: by the end of the month. Perhaps they "are getting their act together" the Three Stooges running the presses, with Earnest Goes To The Mint as supervisor, the Marx Brothers as shippers, And the Keystone Kops acting as security we were lucky to even get the first ONE. :111::111::111::111::111:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Ok the mint mustve read my complaints because I just checked the website and it says it was shipped today buuuuuuuut...being that Im stationed overseas and my mail gets taken over by the military after arriving in NY it wont get here for another month. Every other mint item istaken over 1 month to get to me. The 2009 territories proof set took 5 weeks to get to me Best thing yet is that they havent charged me yet...hopefully they will mess up and wont charge

yours is probably coming soon. Just hope they dont play air hockey with your coin before shipping it out. If they do, you could always have it graded by ANACS. They'll designate it MS70 FSB - Full Skid-mark Bands :confused_m:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Well I finally got my little white box. :bear_w00t: Mine has some minor imperfections on the top edge of the rim, so no MS 70 for me.:bawling: Ah well, I might have it graded, I can't decide. Since MS-70 and First Strike are out, I will probably go with the cheapest of the top three services. Slabbed coins sell for more on E-bay. I might get another one later, but it really looks like the mint is getting their act together, and my hopes of a suspension are fading. Has anybody heard what dealer's are offering for these? If the shipping has worked out, then the one per household limit seems to be the only thing keeping these scarce.

Buyingsilvers | 03-20-2009 03:55 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! List of recent auctions that are not 1st strike eligible, not graded. Seems like ebay prices are around $1600-$1650. I've seen multiple auctions asking for $1700 with no takers. If you want to flip the coin on ebay, you should probably do it ASAP, as it seems like the mint just shipped out a bunch of coins. Best offer $1,650.00 Free Mar-20 12:33 Bids 4 $1,585.99 Free BIN $1,675.00 Bids 5 $1,575.00 $25.00 $25.00 BIN $1,588.88 Bids 5 $1,575.00 $25.00 Free

Wow, you only ordered a few days ago and they are already charging you for your second order, which means it should ship soon. If they are shipping second orders a few days after initialization then surely the shortage must be over? I noticed the 6-9 month wait language is gone as well.

Buyingsilvers | 03-20-2009 08:01 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! ok, so I finally got my coin. does your coins have what looks like seams on the rim every 1/3 of the coin or so? Basically where it says e pluribus unum. The seams Im looking at are not on the capsule, and are on the actual coin. Im guessing from the "collar" they use to print on the rim.

1981 | 03-21-2009 11:16 AM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Yeah, those collar marks are supposed to be there. I don't like them personally. I also agree that the mint appears to have got their act together, so if you want to flip the coin you had better hurry or you'll have to wait for the mint to stop making them before the price will go up again.

smyles | 03-21-2009 07:47 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! If the mint had their act together I would have a coin by now. I ordered the first day, they've had my money since March 12. Still no coin. And they could give a rip.:banghead:

wow... I'd be pissed. You should have had a first strike eligible coin. The mint is shipping out to people who ordered in february already. I'd give them a call.

smyles | 03-21-2009 09:45 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Oh I've been calling. About four times now. I have several posts in this thread about the ordeal, so i won't waste forum space recapping. Let's just say, they certainly don't have their act together.

HistoryStudent | 03-22-2009 02:35 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Don't worry I'm starting an unscientific study of prices on EBAY. And the UHR in all facits (First strike - MS70 - MS69 - in shipping box - opened shipping box etc.) are all falling in price. It's kinda LIKE the Stock Market BUY on the RUMOR and SELL LOWER on the NEWS! Flames dart bullets NOT at the messenger PLEASE but if you want - no problem - I'm waiting to buy for the LONG TERM and soon the PRICES will tumble as the GREEDY get scared they'll lose their PROFITS in the sick heads! :signs14::5_1_120::5_1_120::111::yes:

1981 | 03-23-2009 09:15 AM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Maybe the prices are dropping because people are actually looking at their coins. I pulled mine out of the capsule to get a better look at the edge, and it looks pretty bad. First off, the capsule wasn't pressed down all the way, so the coin rattled around in the holder and now has a thin "zone" where the rim scratched. The top of the rim on the reverse is also jagged and uneven. Since the face of the coin on both sides is okay I won't be sending it back (I'm done with the mint) but not what I would call the pinnacle of modern coin art IMHO.

smyles | 03-23-2009 02:03 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Finally, I received the coin today. And it was still in it's plastic holder. I don't know the first thing about grading, but to the naked eye it looks ok. I think I'll leave well enough alone, put it away and try not think about the mint for a long time.

Amen to that. It looks like this thread is winding down, I'm really going to miss it. :bawling: We had some great times together waiting to see if our coins would show up.

Until we all get our UHRs this thread will NEVER die.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Got an e-mail from the mint,asking to take a "survey" from those that ordered UHR the first day. The mail said to enter my customer number to access survey and I can find in the e-mail sent. Dozens of others and myself did not get a "customer" number(Mint mistake,again). If you get an e-mail,you have to CALL them and ask for your number and then you can take the survey. Limited space to tell them what you think..:no_ma:

See the next post. Strange how the orders are shipped. :biggrin::111::111:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! They shipped my next UHR EAGLE - for tomorrow - ordered a few days ago. WOW! I'm beginning to LIKE their SERVICE. I take back the snide remarks and poor attitude that I used to have - now if they would SHHHHHHH... just sent the next .... (wish I could order 5 more!)

C&L 1911 | 03-24-2009 02:34 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Just FYI, the UHR book has gone from "Backordered until 4/1/2009" to "In stock and reserved". My replacement UHR is also in "In stock and reserved" status with cancel checkbox missing, so hopefully it will be shipping soon.

It's still hit or miss... Like I said above, I'm still waiting for my replacement UHR (which I was told would be given highest priority over all new orders). I also had my brother order another UHR for me; the order was placed on March 5th, and it's still in pending status. :banghead:

So, did they lift the "one per household" restriction, or did you order with a different account/address info?

Interesting... So all that rationing was BS to begin with. I guess now that anybody can order as many as they want, we can expect the street prices of our UHRs to drop, and all those eBay sellers hoping to make $500 profits on their ungraded UHRs will probably get stuck with a loss.

You are probably right! The future prices will depend on how many they actually end up minting. I haven't seen any for sale that were less than 69 & quite a few 70's...

The prices on EBAY are starting to subside a tad; the above post says it all re: "on how many they actually end up minting." The Coin World mag ads mention "only 300 graded MS70 by NGC/PCGS." That may change to 30,000. :sarcasm::signs14::36_1_32v:

Kinda makes you HATE to get it slabbed - that's why I hesitated. It's a beautiful presentation. I have GOBS of gold slabs - they ain't that PRETTY - they are not. Not as pretty as the boxes and the main box. And it would get lost with the 1907 to 1928 Saints.:signs14: Reminds me of the 2007 Platinum box proof set reverse and regular in 1/2 ounce each. And the dual 2008 prosperity eagle set set. Only the UHR is prettier.

I think they'll ALWAYS carry SOME premium. My humble guess is that they will stop them in 2009 when they hit a certain number like around 1000,000 plus up to maybe 200,000 - who knows what the plans of mice & g-men can be? This does several things: That makes them a signature coin for Mr. Moy - they really are PRETTY! Helps sell the old Saints again (boy are they scooting UPward^!); The rationing keeps other coins from being minted; The price of gold can scoot upward while the Rationing is enforced; The platinum and gold coins can be NOT minted while the confusion over the UHR is enforced; and a WHOLE bunch of other related items on the same motive. I smile (read a big belly laugh and then a chuckle) when I think HOW MUCH the MINT is s disobeying their public mission and duty of simply - MINTING GOLD SILVER AND PLATINUM coins for the US public. Convicted! "Book 'em Dano!":signs14::111::111::111:

Not gonna happen. At least you won't get mine that way. The price of this coin is bound to fluctuate a bit, but the general trend will always be up. If you really want one, get one as soon as possible. If I'm wrong, I'll eat crow. But I'm not alone in my analysis.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Picture quality is a little rough, but, it's late and I have to get up in a little bit to go to work. Blah. I have a funny story about the grading that I will share with you guys tomorrow. I am one lucky dog!

Gordon Gekko | 03-28-2009 08:09 AM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! So, here's the story: I was pretty hesitant to send it in to PCGS to get graded. But, I felt that it was worth the gamble. So, I took it to my local dealer who is PCGS authorized. I called him yesterday to see if the coin is back yet and he says that it is. He was in cahoots because along with my coin, he sent two of his own person UHR DE's to get graded and both of his came back MS69 while mine was the only one that came back MS70. I was really shocked. He could have easily switched the coins and I wouldn't have even known. So, then I go to pick it up and pay for the service, and he only charges me $95, which I thought was very reasonable. I gave him $100 and told him to keep the extra $5, but he just wouldn't take it. Pretty crazy isn't it? This coin and I were just meant to be. I got the coin really "early" when I shouldn't have (orded the second day they went on sale) and I also got an MS70!!! Needless tp say, I am a very happer camper. This is my first numismatic coin and I am VERY happy with it. Now, I am confused about my second order. I had my girlfriend order it using her debit card and we placed the order a while ago (March 7th). She had to fill out some address and credit card verification form. So, we did that last Sunday and it went in the mail this past Monday morning. BUT, when I track the order by calling the Mint, it still says that "additional credit card and address verification is being performed, blah blah blah". What gives?

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Hey GG, Glad to see you got your coin back! It is hard to tell from looking at the pics whether the coin is protected front and back by the PCGS holder. I was wondering about that, as well as, the NGC ones seem to be going for more on ebay. Also HS who supposedly has been studying up on these didn't mention that some of the 69 NGC ones are coming back with a PL designation (Proof Like) but I didn't see any 70 PL's. EE never responded to the question regarding the 2 coins he had graded as to which one received the 70...I suspect it wasn't the proof like one. Would be interesting to hear some thoughts on this...:coolbeer:

That is correct. I will have one slabbed, and one in the original mint packaging. I am contemplating not even opening up the packaging that it's mailed in. BUT, with some members receiving their coin in terrbile shape, it's probably a good idea to make sure I didn't get a dud.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Congrats GG, looks like you made the right decision after him/hawing around, and almost not sending it in. Money well spent. The First Strike designation, whether people think it's a bunch of hooey or not, will always bring more then non FS. I personally, like this coin slabbed. PS, my MS70 was not the proof like of the two, however it is still a little proof like, compared to others I've seen.

I have one that is more proof like than the other...can't find any flaws on either so I guess I should send the one that is less proof like for grading?? Thanks for the info....:23_1_22: as always I value your opinion and expertise!

Yes, it was most definitely worth it. I can't keep my eyes off the coin. I like it in the slab as well. It is presented very well. Now the question remains EE, do you think it should be flipped on Ebay for a $1,000+ profit? Or, should it be held onto for a while in hopes that it will go for a lot more in the future? My gut is telling me to hold onto it, but, it is hard passing up an easy $1,000+ profit.

I don't think you'll ever lose all of the $1,000+ profit. I don't think this FS70 coin will ever go below $1,800, no matter how plentiful they get. The question is, what will they sell for if the program ends abruptly and there are only 50,000/80,000 produced?

That is definitely the million dollar question. Is there any way to tell how many have been First Strikes have been graded MS70 or how many UHR DE's have been minted?

Last I saw, it was 1,054 70 FS's...which is a lot. You have to factor in demand to the equation. Let me add, this coin and the lack of products from the US mint is driving St. Gauden's prices. People are turning to St. Gauden's for investment, which have become more popular with the popularity of this UHR design.

Thanks NOW for that listing. In re: NGC I logged in to find that to date: MS68 only 5 MS69 only 391 MS70 only 567 Those figures are accurate to right NOW as a Collector's Corner member. SO it appears ratio wise - NGC is harder than PCGS in grading because the population remains standard. PCGS may LOSE their HIGH FALUTIN' ratings. I don't know. Hope that helps for a little bigger picture - there is also SGS ANACS SEGS ETCETERA!:yes

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I think the reason for lower NGC population is due to the eligibility date being 3/9 instead of 3/11. You'd be amazed what 2 days difference can make especially since the mint shipped tons of coins rather slowly and were delivered after the 9th

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! flip the coin in ms70 grade for a $1000 profit and buy another one plus a gold eagle for the same price. dont be silly...take the profit before its tough to get...remember..the future will probably be grim for ebay/IRS/taxing/selling....now is the time!

Thanks I did not know that. Mine shipped 3-10-09. Wow! I TOTALLY TOTALLY agree - you are spot on - as the Brits would say. I think you should be one of the GIM GURUs - if there was one. :5_1_120: With EE of course. :yes:

Far from Guru but thanks...it just seems that way with NGC. I think in the long run NGCs will be worth more due to the lower population numbers

No problem...I know it sucks not being able to check the population reports and since I got the subscription why not help out the GIM community with the info. If anyone has any special request on certain coins I can probably accomodate, so long asv I dont get an overwhelming amount of requests Looks though like 70's are bountiful.

I submitted mine through a local PCGS authorized dealer. Perhaps they did in fact send it back, but the guys just lied about not receiving it. I doubt it though. I just wish I could order one from somewhere. I'd pay $10.00 for it.

I was shocked myself. I ordered 3 weeks ago and received my boxed UHRDE the following week via expedited shipping. From what I'd read on here I thot it'd prolly take months. I was pleasantly surprised. Anyway, I'm no grader of coin; got in this diversion at first just for the PM hedge, buying mostly bullion. But, now I see you guys talking all this MS60-MS70 grading stuff and you got to looking at mine pretty hard. It looks damn near perfect to me using magnification thru the capsule; I ain't about to take it out or ship to a grading service. That box shore is purdee though; looks like it should have cost more than the mere $5.95 extra they tacked on for it but I figure they more than coved that with the over $300 premium, huh? I think I paid near $1318 delivered to my door. Do ya'll really think they are worth ordering a second UHR at that high price?

Don't be. They probably break them out of the slab, put them back in the original box and flip them on eBay for only $300-400 profit instead of $1000 profit on MS70. :15_1_70v:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Im thinking of getting a second. Why is the price still $1289? Didn't the POG go down since they increased the price? Price: $1,289.00

lumpOgold | 03-30-2009 05:57 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! THey only adjust the price after moves of $50 or more and only on Wednesday. So unless the POG goes below $900 or over $949 then the prices will stay at $1289.

It'll be a COLLECTORS item. I wonder what they'd bring if the mint cancels the UHR eagles and kills sending the books before the end of the year. It would rhyme with the way the MINT started in the early 1800s - NO GOLD COINS made. Come to think of it... How many do they make now. The UHR and the TERRIBLE SPOUSES. NADA zero zip nothing else - not even a platinum coin. Wowie, what happened are they OUT? :111::111::111:

Wow! Ok then, maybe I do want it to come in! On a somewhat related note, it seems like the FS MS70's have kind of leveled off in the $2,200 - $2,300 price range on Ebay. Just FYI. Maybe that's where they will stay for a while until the flipping is over and then they go higher!

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I have been monitoring the action of the FS MS70's on Ebay for a while.

Here are some recent auctions: $2,400: http://cgi.ebay.com/2009-Ultra-High-...1%7C240%3A1318 $2,250: http://cgi.ebay.com/2009-GOLD-20-ULT...1%7C240%3A1309 $2,225: http://cgi.ebay.com/2009-Ultra-High-...1%7C240%3A1318 There are also numerous auctions with a day or two left going for $2,275.

Definitely not thinking about selling at the moment. I just like to monitor the price action on Ebay to give myself a better sense of what the coin is trully worth. I am planning on holding this one for the long run, unless some extreme circumstance forces me to sell.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Also, it seems that some coins have a "proof" like finish to them. These coins are going for a ton!

What's to stop me? There isn't anything on it from PCGS or NGC saying that it is any more "proof" like than others. What gives?

Ahhh, I see what you're saying. Those NGC labels say MS70 PL. I didn't catch that. Even still, that is a crazy price to pay. I haven't seen any PCGS Proof Like labels as well.

Thanks for the INFO. I just GOT one today. It looks like a PROOF - it's PROOF LIKE. WOW! PROOF LIKE. Wow! :getdown::getdown::getdown::getdown: It even came a SMALL LITTLE BOOK. Wow! :getdown::getdown: This book is SMall same color and size as the BLUE box the coin comes in. It is rather well done some 48 pages and gives you a lot of history on the UHR original and current UHR Eagle coins. Pretty picture of the coin on front and quite a keepsake with the coin itself. If you have received a coin already - you'll be glad to have this addition. My poor 2-cents. So now I'll JUST wait for the other TINY little books which fit in with the Wooden BOX - BOOKS they OWE me. :5_1_120: Guess I order another because they are getting BETTER at making these things. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1x...be-happy_music Number FOUR ordered and accepted - COME TO PAPA - be another PROOF LIKE - please...! :wink::wink::wink::111::yes:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! "The price of the UHR just went down at the US Mint, it is now $1239." That explains the fast turn around time, ordered No.4 /Sat 04-04-09 and here at my door as I type Thursday 04-09-09.

CONGRATULATIONS! You figured it out too. Congratulations. These puppies will really be something in 2010 - I'LL bet ya a cup of coffee. You are ahead of me. :36_1_28: ::bash: Just kidding! Frankly, the way they did them up :wink: (and the slabs to me are about as interesting as 100 raw Gold Eagles in tubes) I prefer to keep them in their original BLUE boxes with the small books on top. I do. Hats OFF to US MINT and Mr. MOY - I always wanted a Ultra High Relief Saint - now I got more than a few. :23_28_100s::23_28_100s::111: Hey There's a Proof Like UHR MS70 going for $2650 bidding and the RESERVE "ain't" met YET: imagine that? On ebay that is.

It comes in an impressive wood box. No need to buy a box. Look at pages 12-15. I remember posting some pictures of the box it comes in.

A new UHR Eagle delivery last week came with a book: the wife's and my other one from March 10th & 14th have not YET had their BOOKS arrive. It's real small and fits in the box - they just added a piece of foam for the book size in the boxes that did not YET have a BOOK. They send the books out in a padded envelope later -as I have seen some on the internet for sale. Hope that helps - the book is blue like the box small and about 48 pages - I believe. :yes:

Well considering that in the 1st day there were only 29,000 blanks available and over 47,000 orders placed it seems like the mint may be on pace to a mintage of less than 100K perhaps around 75K would be more realistic.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I was researching the ORIGINAL UHR $20 Saint made originally (Roman Numerals OF MCMVII) FOR 1907. Only 22 were made and two of THOSE were destroyed. So we had 20. These were struck with NINE blows of the DIE for the same EFFECT we now have on the 2009 redo. Price would really be HIGH on these! Around $3,000,000.00 in 2005 for a Heritage auction price. They doubled the money supply since then SO If you could even find ONE that is! Then later they made a HR variety (about half the UHR coins "INSIDE figure height" on the strike) minting some 12,387 pieces (per 2009 US Coins- Yeoman) with only FIVE blows of the DIE! They were made with dirrerent types of dies. Retail price for a MS68 is NOW about $280,000.00 US smackers. So if our BUDDY RODZM guesstimate is correct we'll have up to nine times more of the NEW UHR 2009 Eagles than we had of the (lower) High Relief Saints made in 1907. And possibly only 6 ot 7 times more. DYODD But perhaps this might be something to keep. I know I will keep 'em. PS later on they made a business strike Saint 1907 regular number dated for some 361,667 coins minted - MS67 retails for $46,000.00 while the MS63 is around $2,300.00 - it's the first coin of the series that's somewhat affordable. Below the date is St. Gauden's monogram - which gave me a kick because I wondered what is was for over 15 years. Please remember this was supposed to be the MOST beautiful coin ever made since BEFORE the LORD Jesus Christ. Think GREEK coins of Alexander the Great 300 B.C. era. This might be a real good investment - who KNOWS - as the 2009 UHR First strike MS70 costs around the same as a 1907 MS63 Saint - but now you DO! :36_3_12: Best wishes, HS

Well maybe if they stop making those ugly spouse coins...I dont think people realize that with the current economic conditions and the pricetag on UHRs that there will not be a high mintage on them. Really people, wake up and buy yours before its too late I really hope people start to get wise with these UHRs and realize that they will be in high demand once they stop making them. If there is any indication of mintage on coins due to the current economic conditions please take into account the newest territory quarter...Puerto Rico. Only 86 million were struck at Denver while 53 million were struck at Philadelphia and by the way production ceased way before they were released into circulation, this was all due to the current economic conditions. Think about it that not even every citizen will be able to own one I dont know but if common coinage is getting the axe and are getting low numbers what makes people think that UHRs will be any different. Just sayin'....

This is it buddy, 2009 will be the only year they make them unless the mint thinks theyre a hit and we'll get UHRs every year, but I doubt it. It has been over 100 years in the making so it is worth picking up. Hell I picked up two of them on credit and Im almost done paying one of them and the second Ill get finished paying it within the next few months Do it before its too late

Twice once in 1907 with 22 total coins worth about Guess - FIVE MILLION US DOLLARS each now. and ONLY this year 2009 - rationed off so few will be made. ONCE is YOUR LIFETIME for JUST ONE YEAR - frankly I think some crisis will hit - and then all PM coins cease from being MINTED. 95% are GONE today already! Try to buy a NUMISMATIC 2009 Gold Eagle from the mint in any form of the old 2008 four; or a gold Buffalo in any form of the 2008 four; or a proof of those eight coins all gone; or a platinum coin in proof or mint state all eight are NOW gone from the MINTING process that we had all eight in 2008; or a silver Eagle proof - all those coins are kaput zero nada no mas BYE-BYE alf-viedersehn ZIP finished killed dead morte - I hope you get that! I did not mean to be caustic - only trying to make a BIG point. The US mint is just making the quick coins for the big plastic boxes and they can't keep up with the demand - so they have forgotten the mission of serving the public in NUMISMATICS - that's the BOTTOM LINE. The NUMISMATIC coins take extra steps and they make more money on the BIG GREEN BOXES of gold and silver MS state coins given out via RATION to their special five dealers.

Thanks rodzm. It's tempting, too bad the Canadian dollar has lost strength against the American dollar recently. I've seen some of the coins selling on eBay for crazy amounts. Is there anything "special" with these coins compared to the ones the mint is shipping out today.

500 coins per DIE "ain't" a big LONG term selling point to the US Mint when 95% of their numismatics were cancelled because of extra steps - these coins take a FEW strikes on a quickly 500 DIEING (pun intended!) DIE! Hat off to YOU! :applause_:applause_:applause_ Frankly in my LIFETIME (and I'm OLDER born in WWII) this is ONE coin I would get from the MINT ASAP - if I had to BEG BORROW or STEAL the money. I think it's that good LONG term. I really don't know - but it really seems to me things could COME to a QUICK halt on this coin. That's why when they cancelled me twice recently I went to the the RELATIVES to order for me - and EBAY for a QUICKIE! Now are there any LOAN SHARKS out there?

Math doesnt lie and according to the latest order numbers about 100 dies have been used already...lets say the mint still has 100 more dies and youre looking at a minting of 100,000. Add to that the blank shortages and the trouble they are having with gold supplies and you may be looking at a mintage of less than 75,000. Think about it...29,000 blanks for the first 29,000 orders and they still had to fulfill 18,000 more which they were able to fulfill probably the first couple weeks of March. That means the mintage right now is probably 50-60,000. Lets say the mint fulfills 10,000 UHR orders per month until end of year and you will still get a mintage of about 130,000. No way in hell the mint is fulfilling 10,000 UHRs per month in the current economic conditions Quote:

Just remember these words which I have painstakingly lived for the past few motnhs. "Hindsight is everything" Whats the worst that can happen???? You loosing the premium??? Not in a million years as this coin will always sell for some sort of premium even if it is the premium set by the mint of $340-$389. So even if gold drops to 700 you will still be able to sell it in the $1,000-1100 range losing only $139 if you were to buy today. We all know gold is not going to drop below 700 with the current economy There is nothing to lose really...and you will never be able to buy this coin anywhere near spot

Hopefully it'll stay weak until this wednesday, giving a slight discount when the price adjusts. http://www.kitco.com/LFgif//auapr09.gif -------- What do they mean by "prooflike"? The fields are very polished looking? If that's the case, my first one is definately not "prooflike". :hissyfit_m:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=130299030434 Interesting auction. Strikethrough error, although supposedly a small error. The pics aren't good enough to see it. I'd be curious to see what type of premium it would command.

So, I'm just asking. Does anyone know why the mint would cancel an order "for no reason"? Has this happened to a lot of people?

Yeah. They only LET you have ONE UHR coin per address per family I believe - but if you are really sneaky... Use your TRUSTED relative friend and have them order it for you and pay them off later when they charge their card... That's what I have to do NOW! :playingba:playingba:playingba

Really glad to see your post. We were all wondering what the POSSIBLES were - this might be rather accurate. Thanks again. :36_3_12: Looks like they are losing STEAM on sales. Interesting. That means the FAD issue will deflate a BIT on EBAY so those of you who are set MIGHT wait a tad (for the FAD to die) for a better deal. I'm seeing a slight decrease in sales prices. A NEW MINT Package today went for $1485 with the BOOK! I was WATCHING it! Also for those that care. This UHR Double Eagle was a REDO. It seems that two 1907 28MM diameter Eagles LIE in the SMITHSONIAN the Nation's Atic - which were St. Gauden's FIRST try at doing the JOB from the Liberties $20 size. He doubled a TEN dollar size and MADE two that are in the ATIC now. So the new MINT just did a REDO on the prior with more advanced DIES and PRESSES. It is funny how government always stays the course one-way-or-another. Best wishes, HS PS imagine having one of the two in the Smithsonian - you can when you order a 2009 UHR - that's a BIG COOL! I did some more research on the ORIGINAL 1907 COIN which is an exact copy of the 2009 coin except for the DATE. They made 20 of these and melted them down leaving only the TWO now in the SMITHSONIAN atic of America. Also this 1907 COIN (pattern: that means wasn't a regular issued coin) is LISTED as "ONE OF THE 100 BEST American Coins." Dad at 85 just called for one for mom; his second, and they told him ONLY one per HOUSEHOLD. Got YOURS? Also today 4-13 got an email for my 1-22 order that the small book shipped out today. Hope that helps you - I ordered around 2:00 p.m. two hours after the "OKLAHOMA UHR LAND RUSH" cannon going off. I felt like Tom Cruise in "Far and Away" on the same type horse - the PERKY one - not the dead one.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I finally ordered an UHR on 4/10 and my online order receipt says that the product ship date is 2009-04-16. How reasonable is that expectation in light of the thread title? Second question, if the dies only last for 500 coins, what meaning does a first strike designation based on date have?

You should be okay they always list it as "On Hold" while they are waiting to process the order. You will know when it hits your CC account that they are getting ready to ship. Also the cancel button will disapper when you sign in to check on your order...you will know for sure it's getting ready to ship...Hope that helps!!!

Is that your coin? If it is, hang on to it or get it graded! It looks like a wire rim, and I've not seen one in the UHR's before. Can I make an offer on it?

The SAD rule is only one coin allowed to an address and a household. Imagine if a houshold (now with many living together) had, say, four coin collectors. I think that rule could cause "MUCH HARM to one of the four," right? :thinkey::dontknow::fight::stupid::boxing::aetsch: :haha::haha::haha:

They updated their web site Product Ship Date just today. Does that apply only to new orders placed today and after? Or does that also apply to all orders not yet filled even though they may have been placed a week or two ago? I can't view the status of my order for some reason, even though I got an Online Order Receipt on 4/10/2009.

My pending order was also pushed back from 4/16 to 6/24, so I'm guessing it affects all (or most) pending orders. However, it doesn't mean those orders couldn't ship sooner.

As of 17:00 4/16, the charge is showing pending on my credit card. Maybe they really are going to ship it!

I can't tell if there is a pending charge on my card yet, but my order has changed from yesterday's "backordered until 6/24" to "In stock and reserved" today. :biggrin:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! The outrageous thing about my ordering the UHR Eagle is that I really can't afford it, LOL. Oh, in the grand scheme of things I can. But paying my credit card off in full this coming month, as is my habit, is going to be a real challenge. Going to have to pinch some pennies somewhere. But I wanted this coin, damn it!

That is an absolutely beautiful picture. I pulled out my 20 to 40 power lighted dual microscope for my UHRs: and frankly your picture is better than what I could see. All have the BELLY BUTTON however. Frankly, I wonder how many more they will make. I really don't see them finishing out the entrie year - but, I am NO PROPHET - it's just a GUT feeling. Sorry. :36_3_12:

I'd still like to know if that is Rodzm's coin. I might consider trading an MS70 First Strike for it. Regarding the belly button...there are some out there with a missing BB. NGC has graded one and only one coin with a strike through error. on the reverse. Lady liberty was struck through the eagle feathers. Watch for errors!

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Hi everyone, first post here. Thanks for all the information in this thread, it prompted me to go out and order this coin. I ordered it a few days ago. This is my first numismatic coin. I have a question, it seems the value of this coin is much higher through ebay, and such. My original idea was to get the coin, get it graded through pcgs, then flip the coin for a profit. Then use the profit to by more bullion...in hopes of not losing it in another boating accident. Now, I'm wondering if it may be better to hang on to it (providing I actually get the coin). Is it for certain that the mint will only make this coin for 2009? If the mint keeps minting them, wouldn't this coin be overvalued? What do you all think the possible premium could be on this coin in the long run? Thanks, I'm fairly new to all this, so I hope these questions do not sound too ignorant.

Too bad, I would have been ecstatic to open mine to find that coin. Do you notice the wire rim or knife edge as they call it? Definitely is not a flat rim coin. It should be a rare variety.

Oh I def notice it but I don't remember if it was a raw coin or if it was graded. If it was graded then its possible that the knife edge could be as a result of the packaging. It sucks that I couldn't find it again, perhaps somebody scoured Ebay for the coin after it was noticed

If there was one coin in my collection I would keep it would be this UHR 2009. Period. We will know when the GOVERNMENT tells us what they did are doing or have done. Period. If you just took three or four hours you'd understand what a deal this MIGHT turn out to be. However, if you are one-minute too late - you can go to the Government College in Egypt - called FARUK U. So don't deny it. And "denial" ain't a river in Egypt either. :5_1_120: Having some fun for making the point. :signs14::yes:

HistoryStudent, thanks for your reply. I am new to all this, but I just don't trust the government. I could see them pulling a fast one on us. For some reason, I could see them minting this coin in 2010, and beyond, and turning it into some high priced bullion, like the gold buffalo. Reeping the profits from the premium, and the hype. But, if they don't, this beautiful coin could be quite the addition to the collection. I really hope I get it. The order is in. The question I need to decide on, is to have it graded or not through pcgs. Thanks again, for your advise, and your response.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! You guys still talking about this thing? :sleep: I put mine back in the box and stuck it on a shelf. It appears I really just wanted it cause the original hype made me think they would be super rare.

I really don't think so. They only get 500 coins per die. And striking them many times versus OUNCE - like they did the originals 1908 -1933 in LOW relief as Saints is much more cost effective (like the AGE which they just strike once and sell in the monster boxes at 7 times what they did in 2007! (and MAKE no more numismatic gold silver platinum coins per se) ; that's my main guess why this will end QUICKLY after all it started in March for delivery instead of Jan. 1st as planned. It's not really trust - it's more like cost management and money cost effectiveness. Sorry. For some reason, I could see them minting this coin in 2010, and beyond, and turning it into some high priced bullion, like the gold buffalo. Reeping the profits from the premium, and the hype.

The question I need to decide on, is to have it graded or not through pcgs. Grab as many as you can - they can be walked through the grading system later - or in the boxes they MIGHT bring more. After all the 1907 to 1932 Saints really picked up in price and activness since the UHR release - kinda like what the quarters did to coin collecting overall (really raised up the new collectors to the hobby). Kinda. Thanks again, for your advise, and your response.
Frankly if I had just 10,000 dollars and NO other gold coin in the world - I'd have 7.6 of these coins. Don't ask about the .6 :111::111::111: it was to make a point.

HS, do you recommend we get these things graded? Via pcgs. I've got one on order, has yet to arrive. Hopefully it will. I was just wondering if it was worth sending in to get slabbed or not..

If you have ONE leave it in the box and sit on it. Same with number two. Same with number three. But, when you hit number four - pick the best one and GO for a MS70. PCGS has a slight edge over NGC - join PCGS and hopefully send in their four of five gold coins (if you have some really nice other coins go for the one shot deal - and include your BEST pick UHR too.) for slabbing including YOUR best PICK UHR. That's mainly for your humble pride. And it's fun to have one PURRR-FECT (Like the Gal in Shrek, right - and the little prince called her PURRR-FECT!) coin in the stable when you want to impress yourself. Held CLOSELY QUIETLY AND VERY DEARLY! The reason I say this is that if you investigate the coin itself you'd realize that you hold the best coin made in 2,000 years and some are MS70 - get it? Frankly, in the grand scheme of things you are almost guaranteed to get MS69 or MS70 (99.8%) so you really don't need it graded at all. That's why less than 3,000 of the 58,000 or so have been graded to date. Those other 50,000 PLUS thousand to DATE would easily grade in the same percentage - from a statistically POINT of view, right? When will they cut off all sales, too? :36_3_12: THERE is something else. usually with the .9999 gold coins the Early Releases graded out NUMBER the regular graded coins like in MS70 (I.E. US 1 oz. Buffalos 2006 to 2008) anywhere from 10 ER to 1 REG down to about 7 ER to 1 REG - HOWEVER, the REGULAR UHRs today "already outnumber the Early Releases." So perhaps one may want an NGC early release or PCGS first strike - I really don't know - but the "odds are looking good right now" like the last TOM CRUISE line in "TOP GUN!" PCGS is running about 1,000 REG to 1,500 First Strikes. They'll catch up in a few weeks perhaps - like NGC did already and then passed the early releases. The coin graders have made a MINT by this new TAG; usually with the above figures did not make me want one TOO much: HOWEVER, I wonder if this might be something to think about. I really did. The super big real issue is that the constant making of new fiat by all the worlds' central bankers at "around a doubling every few years NOW" PUTS a tremendous floor under the price of the precious metals as they are the only thing of intrinsic worth that they can't print until the cows come home to the door left left open at the world's biggest barn full of you-know-what. Boy is that a run-on sentence.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I checked the UPS tracking info on my coin. Apparently the US Mint Fulfillment Center is in Plainfield, IN. I live in NW Indiana and my coin, which was picked up by UPS this afternoon, is scheduled to be delivered to my doorstep tomorrow. If that, in fact, is what happens it will be a total of 12 days from order to delivery. In light of the thread title, that's more than a little amusing. Oh happy day.

Right NOW they are not shipping them with the new orders: a few weeks ago they did. People complained: things changed. I've received one with the coin and one backordered from 2:00 p.m. first day.

Conratulations! Keep that gem close by. I saw a few NGC MS70 Proof Like UHR's on Ebay go for some pretty big bucks ($3,000-$5,000) recently, FWIW.

I definitely think it's a good idea. I purchased a GAE from APMEX a couple of weeks ago and it set me back a little over $1,000 after shipping, credit card cahrges, etc. Looking back, I probably should have just forked out a little more $$ and ordered another UHR. The recent population reports and other data that rodzm has been collecting is pointing to a total mintage in the 75,000-90,000 range, which isn't bad at all. Not knowing your current financial situation, it's hard for me to say. If you can afford it, I say go for it! I just might do the same here in a month or too. I'd like to have one graded (already do) and one in the original mint packaging; best of both worlds scenario.

I think at only $260 over the price of the mint it is a decent way to get the UHR if youre not willing to wait for weeks or want to get a second one. Bottom line is the mint is cracking down hard on multiple purchases so if you want a UHR you will pay a premium on the secondary market, $260 is a decent premium and I'd pay it if I could get another UHR....but I already have two of them

Gosh, they sent me THREE of those same type messages. So now there are a few more options - relatives, friends, Ebay, secondary sites, ectcetera! Ectcetera, Ectcetera ...(fighting THE KING and I) :yes: The bottom line is that the US Mint doesn't want to let go of TOO many precious metals that require extra steps, too. IMVHO of course. As the end result of stopping most gold platinulm and proof silver coins. MOST, being the operative word. Those LOUSER first SPOUSES being the exception of course.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! for the poster asking about international shipping, mine just arrived through UPS, havent got it yet but its at their office for delivery first thing Monday morning. they tried to charge me 5% tax but I sent in the paper work telling them it is 24K gold and hopefully get it tax free. theres no point in asking the mint as they are not the ones who will decide to charge you tax, but instead call you customs.

Maybe I'll just put by PO box as the shipping address, that'd force them to send it USPS. UPS always screws us on brokerage.

Get as many as you can afford because IF EVER THERE was a coin screaming to be really worth what you are paying for it right now - IT'S this one. Heck, a lousy 2008 Buffalo or Gold Eagle slabbed cost more on E-screw; :signs14:sorry Ebay, than this ONE-YEAR wonder. :yes::36_3_12:

I hope your hunch is a good one, and you are not over doing it. Other then being the pinnacle of US mintage history, if this coin can stay under 100,000 produced, it should do well. Unlike the 2006 proof Buffalo, appx. 285,000 produced, that didn't do anything...they were produced for 3 years in proof, Unc. and business strike. The UHR is going to be made for only one year.

Those OVER PRODUCED 2006 1 oz. MS69 Buffalos are retailing for $1500 plus. That was the last year I bought from the MINT in gold until NOW. The 2008 Buffalo is around $1900 in PF69 grade. Hmmmmmmmm... I think, they think, that the US mint thinks, that the BUFFALO is KAPUT: but, EE, who knows for sure. My thinking is that the UHR will both spur on the Saints while the - in the meantime the INVESTMENT markets pick up as GOLD makes another run shortly toward the $1,300 mark. The old Saints do have a certified value now in PCGS & NGC which assists the OLD SAINTS - it does. IMVHO - DYODD But frankly a few MS70 UHRs and a few in the BOXES "ain't" a bad stinkin' losing bet down the GOLDEN BRICK ROAD with the Wizard of Oz in the White House printing against the other Central Bankers' worldwide - 24/7. IMVHO. :signs14::36_3_16::yes::111:

Well some people buy because everyone is doing so...speculators and flippers I call them. Nothing wrong to flip or speculate but if you question the authenticity of a coin then why buy it right? I buy simply because it is a work of art and it is something I could eventually pass down to my kids. I know it will appreciate nicely in the years to come

Go back to Geckos post #514 which shows the UHR next to the GAE the gold does not look the same. Saved me some digging to retrieve mine to have a look!

I am kind of picking up on the tail end of this conversation, so I apologize if I am missing something. The "regular" GAEs definitely look different than the UHRs. To put it simply, the GAEs have a more "bronze" look to them while the UHRs are more "golden".

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I did notice in my recent COIN WORLD weekly edition - that DRUM ROLL PLEASE .... NGC is bringing HIGHER PRICES encapsulated in UHR 2009 Double (thick) Eagles. In both MS69 - over a HUNDRED bucks now MS70 - over a HUNDRED bucks now and NGC Early Releases - same as above over PCGS First Strikes - same as above Thought you'd all like to know - my GUESSTIMATE is the LOWER number of population by NGC versus PCGS. So check out the other thread for the NUMBERS in the CENSUS; :yes:. printed in DARK green for dollar color. So don't KICK NGC out with the bath water - quite YET - cause they are coming back like Richard Nixon - NO....:signs14::111: Hope you all got yours done by NGC, right?

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Just received NOTICE from MINT that they are shipping a final UHR GOLD COIN "BOOK" so that means that MOST of you should probably have your BOOK by now. Wishing you all the best, HS Frankly, I can NOT express how strong my feelings (that's a super GUT instinct! - for numbers and coins - and a historical knowledge and wisdom over the last 2,400 years of gold coins) are that anyone who has a GOLD EAGLE modern coin or especially a pre-1933 Saint Gauden's $20 Double Eagle should definately have at least ONE of these UHR coins. If you have two - that would be better - they do NOT have to be graded as there are over 55,000 still out there that can be graded later - and who knows how many will be? HONESTY - if you can: :ok: So be brave get one or a few and PUT them away - period.

When you get it - take a long look at it. Also do a search on GOOGLE for the 1907 UHR Eagle made then. There are a couple of coins just like yours now in the Smithsonian. They made 20 some pattern coins for a possible issue cion - but changed their minds. The destroyed by melting all but two and sent them to the Nation's Atic. They would be worth 2 to 4 million a piece because they are ONE of America's BEST ever coins. Then when the book comes pull it out and read it by the coin - NEVER NEVER NEVER take it out of the PLASTIC protection. Surely that will cost you one or two or three grades. How would you like it if they sent you an MS70 - you removed it to hold it - graded it and it came back MS68, right? Your's will be in better shape weather it's a MS69 or MS70 gradable later on. Be glad you got just one: try for two if you can. Best wishes, HS I feel stronger about this than those 2006 REVERSE PROOFS of the Gold Eagle. I have more than a few of the 2007 platinum ones - and I'd trade them for this any day of the week - they are smaller however - only a half ounce - but have a similar sales retail price - I believe. :ok:

Okay it has a great BOX right? :yes: It has great exterior cardboard boxes (plural) right? :yes: It has a certification card right? :yes: It has your receipt right? :yes: If you get up to three or four get the best one certified, OKAY? :ok: You have what 90% has not certified yet - and 90% of them never will probably. :ok: Be calm - enjoy the best coin the MINT has MADE in 100 years - and very few will afford to have even one - and YOU are past that right now. Read the BOOK when IT comes with the coin right next to you in the PLASTIC NEVER take it out - it ain't worth the risk. One of my friends on the board took it out - passed it to her husband and he's as clumsy as I am "JAR JAR BINKS II" (he's III) - and he dropped it! Almost caused a serious MARITAL situation! :36_3_12: My guess is that it will grade lower a tad - That's what happens when you play "I want to hold it." Heck hold a GOLD EAGLE dated 2000 something! Enjoy you've joined the ranks of the elite coin collectors of the world. That coin is prettier than the 1933 $20 Saint that sold for 7 MILLION bucks - prettier - but just not as rare! :111::111::111::504:

HS, I am curious why you feel stronger about this coin than the 2006 Rev Proof GAE. Do you think it will be become more valuable or is it you just think it is more beautiful? If you are talking raw beauty, I agree. But, with more than 60k coins now out, I don't see how it will ever be able to compare in value to the Reverse Proof (10,000 coins) or even to the 2008 W Uncirculated Gold Buffalo (9,400 coins). Respectfully, Az Ag

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Mintage is not always everything... Are 2008 W Buffalos in high demand???? Compare realized prices for a 1 oz 2008 W Buffalo and a MS70 UHR to see the price difference. I bet you the UHRs command a higher price and if they dont, they soon will Found a PCGS First Strike 1 oz Buffalo on APMEX for $1,495.00, about $800 less than FS MS70 UHRs Kind of proves that mintage means nothing with some coins

Because like something coming from nowhere (like this stupid flu) things happen. The reverse proof 10k and 2008 unc. Buffalo 9.4k are both low number coins. Agreed. I don't think the reverse proofs are as pretty as the regular proofs (1) and you can buy a 2006 uncirculated Buff rather cheap (2) - and neither compare with the UHR as a collector per se. I realize that NUMBERS control the marketplace, right? DYODD, okay? But take a LONGgggggggggggggggggg look at the prices and NUMBERS on just the HIGH relief Saints. Then research a UHR 1907 Saint - if one was available out of the 20 or so they made, right? Then ask yourself if I collected saints which modern coin would I really like to have? The ask yourself if I have 50 USA American Gold Eagles which modern coin expresses itself more to the original at a lower price right now? It's what I do to see the numbers and the best deal for long term appreciation. I would never buy 5 reverses or 5 unc. 2008 Buffs - but would I buy 5 or more 2009 UHRs? Answer - YES It's just me trying to play with numbers and the future and GUESSING what MIGHT happen. It's worked for 10 years so far - so what the heck. It makes COIN collecting more fun for me. Kinda like an OLD Jesse Livermore playing his BUCKET SHOP stock jobber games and trying to cream the jobbers. I just see it as a NO lose opportunity - just past the cost of bullion - but one heck of a lot more fun and less boring - and it comes with a cute little book too! If you have a few bullion coins have at least one of these. It's like a $1,300 bet on a slam dunk for me. but, that's me; and I seriously wanted to share it with the group. I don't remember any other coin being priced around $1,300 and RATIONED like a gallon of gas, do you? There's a lot of things out there that just take a little faith. Kinda like the books of John and Romans - and they'll really pay off later on too. :signs14::signs14::signs14: :Surrender:

Well I'm very glad you did, HS. I think I'm becoming a HistoryStudent-Student. :ok: I figure it this way. For small time buyers like me, who order maybe 1 gold coin when they can. A GAE, with shipping, etc would be close to $1000 out the door. (at the time I bought) So, for an extra $250, you get a rationed coin, minted for this year only, in a beautiful classy mahogany displace case...and with out a doubt, the MOST beautiful coin ever minted. I'm very happy to have made the decision to purchase this coin, and am extremely impressed with it. For me it's a slam dunk too. HS, I do have a question though. I may only be able to afford 1 of these, hopefully I can get another sometime this summer... But, if you only had 1, would you get it graded sometime in the future, and what would be the deciding factor for you to make this decision? Also, the coin seems to be protected very well inside the plastic case it comes in. Do you think this case will keep the coin in MS condition over the long haul?

Rodzm, thanks for your thoughts, but the APMEX coin you cite is not the W version, it is the bullion version, and therefore is not a valid comparison. In reviewing E-bay for recent sales, I found in a PCGS MS70 version the lowest sale in the last 2 weeks for a 2008 Buffalo W 50 was $2,136 while the lowest for a 2009 UHR was $1,851. In PCGS MS70 1st Strike the buff was $2,590 and the UHR was $2,124. In the non graded, as issued by US Mint version, there have been no sales of the buff in the last 2 weeks, but there is one for sale now, with another 24 hours to go before close and it is at $1,436 now (it finished at a cost of $1,675), while the UHR, same version sold for $1,225. Based on this well-written article found at the Mint News Blog, the authors determination is that the prices of all graded and ungraded versions of the UHR are falling rapidly. His conclusion is that declining value of the UHR is not necessarily indicative of ultimate future value, because there are many factors that will come into play once the Mint ceases production of the coin. I agree with his analysis, and I agree with a statement you made above "that mintage is not always everything." Just because there may be more of one coin than another does not mean that coin with lesser mintage will have the higher value. However, in this case, I believe that there are so many more UHR coins than either the 2008 w Buff or the 2006 Rev Prf GAE (RPG) that the sheer number of excess coins in comparison will be more than enough to offset any difference due solely to investor demand. Therefore, in my opinion, the future value of the 08 W Buff and the 06 RPG will always be greater than the UHR. Now that being said, I still think the UHR is a more attractive coin, and the Mint presentation of the UHR is amazing. I have one each of the three, and I wish I could get more of each one. If I had to choose one and only one of the three at this point, purely for speculative investment purposes, I would choose the 08 W Buff just because I think there is still room for some appreciation due to investor demand. :15_1_70v: Az Ag

YES if kept in a cool dry place and quietly dearly and for a LONG LONG time.

Az Ag - You are right about all three coins. Period. :23_28_100s: Especially: I agree that the 1908 BUFFALO may be the last - and therefore as you mentioned. :emotions16: But, SADLY - I love the Bufallo PROOFS :yes: so much more. I picked-up a few in the Mint boxes in 2006. I also picked-up the PROOFS 4-set Gold Eagles - 2006. Then I picked up almost a 100 of the UNC. Silver Eagles - trying to get those ILLUSIVE error coin(s). Then I picked-up a few of the PROOF 2007 platinum sets od 1/2 ounce w/reverse. Sadly I like the old SAINTS the best - therefore: I LIKE the UHR better than any of them - so perhaps it is also BEAUTY is in the eye of the BEHOLDER too - situation. I have a UHR that is proof like - and that was very nice to receive. I'm kinda SMITTEN by them - love at first sight - possible stopage of minting them - nobody knows until they are a day too late. Thanks so much for the confirmation of what I'm seeing too. They are buying on the rumor and selling on the news like the stock market. I have three SAINTS graphs books for the last 25 years that I also study intermixed with historical situations. Somehow the old Saints and the new UHR have something going too. Best wishes and thanks for your information, HS

HS, you make a very good point. If you really love the coins, it doesn't matter much if they appreciate or not. They are just flat out fun to collect. My problem is not so much the collecting, it is the selling. I am good at buying, but have a very difficult time getting rid of them. My bullion coins that I buy in bulk, I don't become too attached to them, but the coins that are special, like the three we have discussed, and the Aussie Lunars, and the Brittanias, I doubt I will ever sell any. I will leave that to my heirs. :23_31_2: Az Ag

Dang ME you MUST be my soul mate in COLLECTING. The thing that scares me is that I'll have to sell my "slabbed" babies - I even like my second & third doubles of my common dates - before my dear old boring bullion babies. I picked-up a 1909 D Saint last year on a lark - had it regraded by the same company - and sent in WITH NOTES and my 50 power pictures - it came BACK - $20 Saint - MS58 - 1909 D/D :ok: I'm REALLY REALLY jealous about those BRITTANIA's (like the LORD of the RINGS guy - saying "MY PRECIOUS!") and the LUNARS. :Surrender: Like a true JERK back 9 years ago I traded a group of 5 wonderful PROOF 1986 NUGGETS IN PLASTIC CASES TOO - (1 oz. each) - for five .9999 Maples because I wanted to have the same type BULLION coins. Shoot myself in the darn foot: it still hurts today!:thumb.aspx: Please - don't any of you make that stupid mistake. We ain't PURR-FECT; because we's human. We learn from our mistakes - we do. And I hope true confessions helps the NUMISMATIC corps out there on the straight and narrow. HS PS just a note. On EBAY I see that a NUMBER of FOREIGN bidders might be buying the UHR 2009 coins. Interesting.

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I have enough 90% silver and Krugerrands purchased as bullion. When the time comes to sell, those will be easy enough to part with -- no love lost. But, the UHR eagle? Love at first sight. I bought the coin because I lusted for it, even at a time when I knew I shouldn't. Had to stretch a bit to afford one but didn't want to miss out. I don't make most of my investments and purchases on that basis. But the UHR eagle was a coin I had to have. It's probably the last gold I would ever sell. Lucky heirs.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Just pulled the trigger and bought one, i've been reading about all my fellow GIM gollums lusting over this coin. $1,239 is a lot for an ounce, but I though the same when I bought the 06 proof buffalo for $800. Now it is my wife's favorite coin, the last one SHE will part with!

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I have a funny story; The mint had a hard time getting my CC to clear on this order, so they canceled my order early in March for my UHR coin. (I have since found out my PayPal debit card can only transfer $1,000 per day from my checking account. So the second order went through perfectly.) But the UPS man showed up here with a thin brown envelope, and inside was the UHR book! Obviously someone forgot to cancel the second line item on the order when they canceled the first. lol!

Okay. If you LOVE collecting and have say - 20 slabbed SAINTS (1907-1928 [1932}) already - why not? :thumb.aspx: By the way the COLOR on the UHR Eagle is quite YELLOWER than the copper color of the SAINTS - I was amazed last night. It was the same color as the NUGGETS from Austraila and the lovely Maples from CANADA. However - if you are like the other 50,000 comfy campers who are "extremely happy" with the MINT fantastical and certification/packaging - HECK no, right? :yes:bancha Probably NOT is the best answer - however for a few of us DIE HARDER and dumber - we grabbed one or so to go with the rest in the MINT PACKAGING that frankly is rather good. Really good. bancha:signs14::36_3_16:

Between that beautiful wood box, the double sleeve and the accompanying book, those things alone are almost worth the premium you pay over a bullion ounce -- and that's without consideration for the spectacular coin itself! If you're going to own several and think you can identify the best of the bunch and still want to have it graded, go ahead. But the package from the mint is pretty spectacular as is. Why mess with perfection? Just greedy, huh?

You are Sooooooooooooooooooooooo... RIGHT! Best wishes HS P.S.

I was just checking http://www.moderncoinmart.com/cart1/home.php?cat=194 and they sold out of the *PROOF LIKE* versions.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I ordered mine about a month ago and just received it today. WOW!!!!! I am sooooo impressed. I really wasn't expecting such a nice presentation. I thought they made a mistake. Mine is a "business strike" but looks like a proof to me. I want another one...or two.... or three....

You are right wondering why, right? Business Strike (as I was corrected prior) means something for currency or use or perhaps the bullion type coins with no "W" (West Point Mint) on them. These coins are all labeled MS by NGC, PCGS, ANACS - etcetera, etcetera, etcetera - I feel like You Brenner in "The King and I." And each UHR 2009 coin is MINT marked "W" too! So pretty - :emotions16::hahaha::hahaha:I sincerely wish they came in a two and a half troy ounce size! Like the old 1850s $50 gold slugs! :111::111::111::111::111::111:

I don't think so. At least I can't find it anywhere on my coin.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Oops. The MINT brochure calls it a BUSINESS STRIKE! Boy that makes my graded NGC proof like one look better when I get it, "right." Also on page 40-41 of the UHR BOOK they mention as does the brochure that the UHR COINS are minted at West Point. Oops. I can't find their "W" on the coin either. ON The MINT Gold Eagle coins the "W" is on the front left side. Sorry - but they were minted there per their book. :36_3_12: Going back to my bed for being a bad boy: :scorpio:

Scratchmo | 05-16-2009 03:07 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Business strike usually refers to something meant for commerce ie. Uncirculated. In other words.... NOT a proof.

Not a bad boy. No one can be expected to know everything. So, here's a test for you. What is that mark directly underneath the Roman numeral date (MMIX)? It looks a little like the letter A superimposed over a C; but, even though I've magnified it, I still have no idea what that is.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I love to shoot from the hip - so here goes - I think it's the INITIALS of the DESIGNER Augustus Saint Gaudens (ASG in MONOGRAM form) - if I'm not mistaken. ASG in symbol type form :yes: or NO? :23_1_22: http://www.sgnhs.org/Augustus%20SGau...ndex/index.htm http://www.usmint.gov/downloads/pres...ldProofObv.jpg Now... if I could just find that stinkin' "W" that should be on the UHR - those stinkers! :111::111::111::111:

rodzm | 05-17-2009 06:21 AM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Thw only ones that cary the "W" mint mark are the proof and burnished versions of Gold and Silver American Eagles. They are all made at West Point, however since the UHR is a business strike it will not carry the "W" mint mark. That mint mark is only placed to do two things 1) The obvious which is to show where it was made and 2) Show that it is a collector coin rather than a business strike coin Those are indeed the initials of Augustus St Gaudens. If there were a proof version of the UHR it would have the W mint mark

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I was notified that the USPS has my: NGC - UHR 2009 First Release *** Proof Like *** waiting for ME at the "sign for delivery in the local Post Office." One of 17 now... Probably one of ONE thousand tomorrow.... :111::111::111::111: I GOT IT TOYOTA! It's really shiny and looks amost polished compared to the others out there in my "SAFE LAND." Even way better than a MS70 First Day PCGS - one! All the fields are quite bright; the LIBERTY figure is also polished looking. I wish they all looked to be like this PUPPY - it's the way they should have "DONE IT" (RIGHT!). Even the edge is polished looking. Interesting to say the least - best wishes to all - get all you can. The eagle on the back is so slick the wings flap - just kidding.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I know many do not appreciate this coin now, but this coin is the pinnacle of US mintage history. It may never be outdone. Like most great works of art, they are seldom appreciated for their true value until years later. We may not see the UHR's true value for many years. A very small percentage of the population will own it. It feels like the end of an era. http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...G_0830-2-1.jpg

If it is in good shape I'll hold it for awhile. But I won't try and take it to the grave with me. Someday the market will coax it from me. But I will still be one of the few people who actually owned/held one. Someday, maybe 40 years from now, some kid who is just getting started in coin collecting will read about this coin in the redbook and say "man, I wonder what it would be like to have one of those. Too bad they sell for $100,000.00" And I'll say "yep, you should see one up close.":ok:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I'd like to get another one but I already have two. Im waiting to see if the mint produces a palladium and gold UHR set. Highly unlikely since the mint has less than 4 months remaining in the year and they can only be minted in 2009. Ive heard that if it is made that no more than 15,000 will be produced so if it is produced that will be a massive sellout. One can only hope

That new web site for the UHR pushs it. It is one of the very few PM coins available. They always talk a LOT about making more of what they are supposed to do by their duty mission and honor; but frankly I rather see a little than hear a lot. But that's just me. By duty mission and honor I mean perhaps the 4 gold buffalos in proof the 4 gold buffalos in MS "w" mint the 4 gold eagles in proof the 4 gold eagles in MS "w" mint the 4 platinum eagles in proof the 4 platinum eagles in MS the 1 silver eagle in proof But I don't blame them if they are all out of available PMs, right?:thumb.aspx: :signs14: P.S. buy what you can when you can - I forsee a time when they'll really be important - from NOW on. PS#2 When GOLD hits over 950 like now the UHR hits 1339 when gold hits 1000 UHR hits 1389 when gold hits 1100 UHR hits $1,489 evey!

HistoryStudent | 08-05-2009 11:17 PM
Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I think the UHR might go UP tomorrow another $50 to around $1339.00 because gold will be over $950 - I may be wrong about the day they correct THURSDAYS. But it will soon SCOOT like a cat with a string of firecrackers on its TAIL. :aetsch:

They are two $10 gold BLANKS seated together - so they are twice as thick. They were a copy of a PATTERN coin that is ONE OF THE BEST 100 coins ever made. wow. :36_3_12:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Well, I got my second UHRDE. It's kind of strange, the obverse is real mirror like, not like the first one at all. The reverse has a more satin finish, like the first one I had. Almost like someone glued two different coins together. Ideas? This time it was loose in the capsule again, rattling around, and even got out of the wood holder and was bouncing around inside the wooden box. :bear_angry: Was everyone else's loose in the plastic holder? Other than all that I think I may have this one graded, looks perfect to me, even prooflike on the obverse.

Its more than possible......... I have four - all are getting graded................((I have my reasons))........we've had plastic holders not sitting right in their boxes.....coins that have never been out of the plastic holders dinged...........remember also, its 24 kt gold - very very soft............so, while in theory they should ALL be coming out at MS 69 or 70...........they are not.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I'm for graded/slabbed MS 70 UHR coins. I personally don't care for fancy boxes...but many still do. I believe these coins will be sought after in the years to come, and we will only begin to see their popularity rise after they are discontinued. Many believe there are too many being produced...I disagree. Yes, it would be nice to have one of only 10 produced, with the price reaching the stratosphere, but the average collector would have no interest in obtaining one. The wealthy would have them locked away with only an occasional sale of one at auction. In my opinion, in order to have a long term healthy collectors market, there must be enough of something for the general population to want to collect them. I'd like to see 87,000 produced, give or take, with a few thousand 70's and only 1,500+ in First Strike. I also believe many collectors of gold coins, those that like to collect variety...this coin will be on the must own list! We will see. In time, I think an MS 70 First Strike should be priced at $5,000 (hyper-inflation price $1,000,000)

Question... I do not understand the 'wanting' of the "first strike"/"Early Releases"... pedigree? From the US Mint... "First Strike" The United States Mint has received inquiries from consumers regarding use of the term "first strike." The term has appeared in connection with the advertising and grading of 2005 and 2006 silver, gold, and platinum proof and bullion American Eagle Coins, and the new 2006 24-karat proof and bullion American Buffalo Gold Coins. Currently, there is no widely-accepted and standardized numismatic industry definition of "first strike." Coin dealers and grading services may use this term in varying ways. Some base its use on dates appearing on United States Mint product packaging or packing slips, or on the dates of product releases or ceremonial coin strike events. Consumers should carefully review the following information along with each dealer�s or grading service�s definition of "first strike" when considering a purchase of coins with this designation. The United States Mint has not designated any 2005 or 2006 American Eagle Coins or 2006 American Buffalo Coins as "first strikes," nor do we track the order in which we mint such coins during their production. The United States Mint held a launch ceremony for the 2006 American Buffalo Gold Coin on June 20, 2006, two days before its release on June 22, at which two proof coins and two uncirculated coins were ceremonially struck. However, those coins were not individually identified and were put in regular inventory after the ceremony. The United States Mint did not hold any striking ceremonies for the 2005 or 2006 American Eagle Coins. The United States Mint strives to produce coins of consistently high quality throughout the course of production. Our strict quality controls assure that coins of this caliber are produced from each die set throughout its useful life. Our manufacturing facilities use a die set as long as the quality of resulting coins meets United States Mint standards, and then replace the dies, continually changing sets throughout the production process. For bullion American Eagle and American Buffalo Coins, the United States Mint makes an average of about 6,000 coins from one die set. For proof versions of the 2006 American Buffalo Coins, the yield is an average of about 1,500 coins per die set. For proof versions of the American Eagle Coins, the yield is an average of about 300-500 coins per die set. This means that coins may be minted from new die sets at any point and at multiple times while production of a coin is ongoing, not just the first day or at the beginning of production. To put this in context, in 2005 the United States Mint produced approximately 356,500 one-ounce gold, 8,891,000 silver, and 6,300 one-ounce platinum American Eagle Bullion Coins. American Eagle and American Buffalo Coins are not individually numbered and the United States Mint does not keep track of the order or date of minting of individual bullion or proof coins. The United States Mint begins production several weeks before these coins are scheduled to be released. By the release dates for 2005 and 2006 bullion coins, the United States Mint had already minted approximately 50% of the projected sales numbers for these coins. Any dates on shipping boxes containing uncirculated bullion coins sent to Authorized Purchasers are strictly for quality control and accounting purposes at the United States Mint at West Point. The date on the box represents the date that the box was packed, verified as 500 ounces and sealed, and the date of packaging does not necessarily correlate with the date of manufacture. The date on shipping labels and packing slips for proof coins, which are sent directly to United States Mint customers from our fulfillment center, is the date the item was packed and shipped by the fulfillment center. The other numbers on the shipping label and packing slip are used to track the order and for quality control. I understand the reasons for having certain modern coins graded (one being the UHR) but the TGPs pedigree nomenclature is simply a sales ploy and has nothing to do with the coin... IMO. Wouldn't it be better to keep the shipping box w/the post mark date, since no on can truly say when their coin was struck?

"First Strike" The United States Mint has received inquiries from consumers regarding use of the term "first strike." The term has appeared in connection with the advertising and grading of 2005 and 2006 silver, gold, and platinum proof and bullion American Eagle Coins, and the new 2006 24-karat proof and bullion American Buffalo Gold Coins. Currently, there is no widely-accepted and standardized numismatic industry definition of "first strike." Coin dealers and grading services may use this term in varying ways. Some base its use on dates appearing on United States Mint product packaging or packing slips, or on the dates of product releases or ceremonial coin strike events. Consumers should carefully review the following information along with each dealer�s or grading service�s definition of "first strike" when considering a purchase of coins with this designation. The United States Mint has not designated any 2005 or 2006 American Eagle Coins or 2006 American Buffalo Coins as "first strikes," nor do we track the order in which we mint such coins during their production. The United States Mint held a launch ceremony for the 2006 American Buffalo Gold Coin on June 20, 2006, two days before its release on June 22, at which two proof coins and two uncirculated coins were ceremonially struck. However, those coins were not individually identified and were put in regular inventory after the ceremony. The United States Mint did not hold any striking ceremonies for the 2005 or 2006 American Eagle Coins. The United States Mint strives to produce coins of consistently high quality throughout the course of production. Our strict quality controls assure that coins of this caliber are produced from each die set throughout its useful life. Our manufacturing facilities use a die set as long as the quality of resulting coins meets United States Mint standards, and then replace the dies, continually changing sets throughout the production process. For bullion American Eagle and American Buffalo Coins, the United States Mint makes an average of about 6,000 coins from one die set. For proof versions of the 2006 American Buffalo Coins, the yield is an average of about 1,500 coins per die set. For proof versions of the American Eagle Coins, the yield is an average of about 300-500 coins per die set. This means that coins may be minted from new die sets at any point and at multiple times while production of a coin is ongoing, not just the first day or at the beginning of production. To put this in context, in 2005 the United States Mint produced approximately 356,500 one-ounce gold, 8,891,000 silver, and 6,300 one-ounce platinum American Eagle Bullion Coins. American Eagle and American Buffalo Coins are not individually numbered and the United States Mint does not keep track of the order or date of minting of individual bullion or proof coins. The United States Mint begins production several weeks before these coins are scheduled to be released. By the release dates for 2005 and 2006 bullion coins, the United States Mint had already minted approximately 50% of the projected sales numbers for these coins. Any dates on shipping boxes containing uncirculated bullion coins sent to Authorized Purchasers are strictly for quality control and accounting purposes at the United States Mint at West Point. The date on the box represents the date that the box was packed, verified as 500 ounces and sealed, and the date of packaging does not necessarily correlate with the date of manufacture.

I like to be able to store my coins in a small package that protects them. (unless you have a really large safe) Storing a perfect coin is a +. Throwing a UHR in a box only in it's rattle capsule, just don't get it! First Strike is BS to a point, but there is a smaller segment of collectors that like to own coins that are of the first to hit the market (designated in the first 30 days of issue), Kind of like the people lining up all night to get the first I-Phone in their hands. They could wait a month and get the same thing, but they want the first one's! First Strike is not about what I think...it's what other people want.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Many people will say First Strike/Early Releases is a bunch of crock and a sales ploy. Bottom line is that it is a sales ploy that increases the amount you get when it comes to resale. People can think all they want but if getting the designation meansa higher resale value then I am all up for it.

And that's what scares me! As nice as the coin is, and it is, I'm beginning to feel that is one is overpriced and will be glutted on the market once they stop making them. YMMV, of course! Now if they were the same price as the Gold Buffalo's then I might be more interested.

Then let me ask you this... in let's say 10 years time, (not accounting for the price of Au) if you were wanting a UHR would you purchase a raw, slabbed MS 70 or PCGS FS MS 70, with the FS being the most expensive? I'm not questioning the TPGs, as they say... "caveat emptor". What I will say is, FS/ER has... nothing to do with the Sheldon Scale nothing to do with rarity/mintage nothing to do with how a coin is struck i.e. proof, reverse proof, business strike etc. nothing to do with an error nothing to do with when a coin is actually struck since the TGPs can not tell anyone when a coin is produced If one purchases a FS/ER at a good price than... good but when some are going for double what you can get from the mint... not I.

That is a really neat idea. You'll probably see lots of other mint boxes do the same thing if this idea takes off.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! FWIW, a dealer friend of mine told me his last submission of 26 UHR's netted him 16 MS-70's. He said the submission before that was 70/30 in favor of 70's - I took it to mean 70% of the order came back 70's... And, he said his initial submission of 30 UHR's, when they first came out, was 16 70's out of 20! All to PCGS. Nothing below a 69. Timing is everything my friends... Strike while the 70's are hot... So, for messily poh people likes myself and probably most here, using his odds: 2 of my three UHR's should come back 70's. Mine will be packed 2-morrow and then on there way to Newport Beach, CA...

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Any bets on how long these will be available after Jan. 1? At $1500+ they might be around awhile. I'm thinking at least through February.

Im guessing the mint will suspend mintage of UHRs very soon. It is not in their best interest to sit on an item that is not moving, besides they can allocate the gold they wouldve used to produce GAEs or more fractionals. Youre right though, at $1,500+ not many people will shell out money. If gold goes between $1200 and $1249 there will be another increase to $1,589. Me thinks that will happen next week

I'm in the same boat. It's a good boat. I had left it in the mint box for grading purposes, and this week I finally packaged it up and sent it off to PCGS. Crossing my fingers on a First Strike MS70.

HS, you don't need to post pictures. Though, we'd like to see them. This post, well, humbles some of us who are new to PM's. You've taught a lot of us a lot of history, and should be recognized for it.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I've got several coins that link to one-another. A Solidus from the ROMANS in the EAST from 441 B.C. was to pay off ATTILA the HUN for not killing everyone in Constantinoble. Funny thing it's also MS at MS62 but that's the year that the City of VENICE was founded 441 B.C when the folks ran from the hills and hid in the swamps of soon to be VENICE. Imagine that the most famous city of almost 14 centuries was founded from a PANIC from the HUNS. Venice lasted until 1797 when Napoleon sacked the city and it fell. That's about 1,356 years VENICE lasted - I've got several Ducats including a similar coin a Zecc 1789-1797 MS62 from the DOGE or (English -DUKE like KING) of Venice. A 1343 Ducat was from the DOGE burried in St. Marks in Venice - it's only a AU58 - however. But get this: in 1345 the BLACK PLAGUE hit Europe and VENICE had it the worst for 30 to 40% of the CITY died. That started all the GUILDS LEAGUES and UNIONS because all the LABOR market was absolutely decimated - wiped out. I also have a Solidus 625-629 GUESS what that's the Byzantine emperor who regained Jeruselem and beat the MOSLEMS for a short time. AU55 - but beautiful with all the rulers on it. The rare one. I'm in many more things like the old LOUIES' in France Like a XV Louis d'or 1753 Paris MS62 - or a 2 Louis d'or 1786 Louis the XVI who kinda lost his head - watch out Obama - I'm sorry - but it happens. That's also a MS62. I've got the highest graded Ducat from the Netherlands in 1750 too. An MS62when they owned CEYLON or Sir Lanka which just bought 10 tonnes of gold from the IMF with money they borrowed from the stupids at the IMF - what dopes. Sir Lanks is not - the IMF is absolutey stupid they sold about a $100 an ounce short from todays price. I've got many many Napoleons but I don't want to bore you to death. I love to tie in history with everything I collect. Thanks for all your kind words.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I'm thinking of ordering a UHR before they stop making them. Now the question is, buy a new one from the mint, buy a MS70 from eBay, or buy a FS MS70 from eBay. I'm kind of leaning towards just ordering one from the mint cause eBayers seem to hate people from Canada (what gives...).

If you aren't all hot about the MS 70 designation, you can get one graded MS-69 at modern coin mart for the same price as the mint. http://moderncoinmart.com/cart1/home.php?cat=194 I like the coin I have, don't really care what the grade is, but the mint box is big for a "stash."

Thanks for the link. In all honesty, there MS70 pricing wasn't bad either. Too bad they don't ship to Canada.

Call them and talk to them. Maybe if you forward them a check etc. work on something - they are really hungry - they even called me today. HS best wishes - :wavey:

Hard one - I would order from the Mint - the MS70 is priced a lot more than the MS69........odds are you would get at LEAST an MS69........ But if you really want an MS70 and you can afford the premium - the MS70 will certainly be worth MORE than the MS69.......but if you are not a big numismatic collector and just want the coin - you will probably not be able to tell the difference by eye and, often, with a loop. Not sure that was any help at all - but there you go........... I ordered three from the Mint - I got 3 MS69s and one MS68.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! The MINT now was shipping PROOF LIKES recently. That means they really shine. Listen to MASTER HO (HO HO HO) He's rather sharp. Besides if you only get one the bOX is BIG and the BOOK is free (kinda) too. I'd rather have the first one in the BOX from the mint and the next one slabbed. so if I had 7 four would be BOXED from the mint and three would be slabbed. BOX first slab next...............:36_3_16:

That's fantastic livtocruz! I've only got one that I bought back when it was $1239. I wish I could have grabbed another one at least. Any thoughts on the 108K mintage? Is that low/high? I'm very curious about these coins, once they've stopped being minted.

I'm curious about this as well. I think the value will go up once they stop being minted. I'm probably going to order one, but want to wait until the price drops $50 since we've been averaging below the $1150 mark for a few days now.

It's high... For a modern coin you want to see 10k and under. e.g. - 1 oz 2008-W Buffalo Unc & Proof With that said, the UHR is a one-off coin, hopefully to be minted only in 2009 (similar to commemoratives). With the UHR being the culmination of St. Gauden's hopes... maybe, just maybe this high mintage will not effect its numismatic value. Only time will tell. b.t.w. last day to purchase the UHR from the US Mint is 31 Dec 2009

Ya know HS my wise friend, this looks pretty good for a raw coin, price wise. http://www.apmex.com/Product/1122/20...or_Better.aspx I wonder what year they would send??? Looking at the PCGS link that you gave I think that Apmex might take a bath at those prices??? Grading them is not that expensive. Yes, after taking my three Gems out of their plastic cocoons (and cradled with gloved fingers) I picked the two most worthy ones to be sent in for grading. I wonder if they will create a new category for my "Precious Ones". Maybe they'll call them "Mid-Strikes"? I think my next "Major" gold purchase will have to be one of those highly regarded Pre-1933 St. Gaudens $20 gold coins. Stay tuned. As a footnote, I too got this email from the U.S mint; ONLY 10 more business days until they shut down UHR sales. And now a few pics, kindly put your lazy boy in the recline position and grab your drink. Please excuse the clutter behind the coin.

BA, don't feel bad. My first two UHRs I bought at $1289, My third at $1489. So, buy another now since they have dropped the price by $50 back to $1489. Why is it that the U.S. Mint operates in increments of $50??? I'm still on the fence about picking up a Proof 2009 Buffalo, don't know if it's gonna be worth the total of $1414.95??? Mintage for the UHR hasn't changed. http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis/...ArticleId=8855

GE, good catch, I wonder if EE caught it. EE should call PCGS and ask, "What the hey". Seriously, I'd want to know why the label is spelled "LaSTSTRIKE" and not "LAST STRIKE".

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! WOWOWOW I just got the UHR in the mail today!:565: It looks soo awesome!:clap2: And I know the focus is the gold, but the packaging is pretty sweet...the strong wood box, the holder inside...the magnets to stand it up....very impressive. The thickness of it...and the relief walking liberty...:23_28_100s: ...just wow. I know gold's down since i bought, and i only got to use 8% bing instead of waiting a day and having bing be 10% :banghead: but it was definitely worth it. This very well maybe close to tieing my lunar dragon as a favorite (shh, dont tell the dragon)....if only that dragon didnt have a queen on the back haha. Glad i jumped in and joined the UHR family! Now i see why people want to order multiples!!! http://i879.photobucket.com/albums/a...t/DSC_0096.jpg

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Just bought one!!!!! Ended up picking one up on eBay, still sealed in mint packaging and is eligible for first strike. Paid $1552 for it, minus 2% cashback from eBates, so basically $1520 for one that I hope I'll be able to get PCGS to rate a MS70 first strike, worst case scenario I'll end up with a MS69.

No bing too? I think i saw that listing, but was confused...i thought "first strikes" had to be submitted by a certain date (not just purchased)? and congrats on the buy!

No bing since it wasn't a BIN and I'm in Canada. As long as the coin was shipped by March 11th (mine was shipped on March 11th), and is sent to PCGS in the mint sealed box, it will qualify for the designation.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Bah, now I'm wondering if I should just pay the seller the eBay fee and cancel the transaction and order from the mint. The issue of insuring a shipment to Canada, then paying for shipping, grading, and return shipping again is making me think a mint box would be best. At the same time I don't want to be a prick and cancel the transaction... Thoughts?

I'm hoping to see a spike once the mint stops selling them Thursday. Maybe you could wait and sell it for more than you paid, then buy a regular one for less?

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Does anybody think we are going to see a substantial price hike on these when the mint stops selling them tomorrow? I have wondered why people have been buying them on ebay while they are cheaper at the mint. If they are paying 1500+ for them now when cheaper alternatives are available, what will happen when the secondary market is the only source? Or, conversely, maybe everyone who wanted one and could afford it already has one. In that case there won't be anybody to sell to for a while.

Got my fingers crossed! I was told the coin was in but the book sold out so the order may not go through! Was in process before the deadline but problems with website made the timestamp "late" still assigned a number though. Meanwhile I watched as one by one sales pages related to the UHR started getting pulled. I hope Mr Moy will honor my purchase.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! US Mint Coin Demand Picks Up Slightly, 2009 Bullion Eagles Still Selling Posted By Darrin Lee Unser On 1, January 7, 2010 @ 8:13 am In Coin or Numismatic News, First Spouse Gold Coins and Medals, Mint Sales Figures, United States Mint News and Information | No Comments Sales of collector coins from the United States Mint appear to have stopped their three week slide, but not by much. According to their latest report, no new drastic drops are apparent. Unfortunately, also equally missing from that data are significant gains. While not huge in numbers, the First Spouse Gold Coins saw almost across the board improvement, not that this was hard to do after the previous week’s disappointing sales. Leading the pack was the Margaret Taylor First Spouse Proofs with a 110 unit increase. The only spouse to show a set back was the Letitia Tyler Uncirculated Coin, declining 11 from the week prior to 9 new sold. You may recall that each of these coins are struck from 1/2 ounce, 24-karat gold. That sets their price points of $729 for the proofs and $716 for the uncirculated coins, which is steep for most casual collectors. 2009-dated American Silver Eagle bullion coins are showing consistent demand with 131,000 sold so far in the month of January. Gold Bullion Eagles came in at 6,000. As a reminder, the 2010-dated versions will not be offered by the US Mint until January 19. A few other striking items from the weekly sales report: Interesting, even with low numbers, are the Presidential $1 Coin Covers. The three versions available (William Henry Harrison, John Tyler and James K. Polk) all saw their sales at least double over the previous week. Topping the list was the Polk Covers which sold 227 units compared to the prior 86. The clad 2009 Mint Proof Set saw a dramatic decline over the previous week, losing over 2,300 to bring them in at 8,946 weekly gain. They have, however, reached a reputable 1,412,997 since their introduction on June 1, 2009. Conversely, the 18-coin Silver Proof Set jumped in sales and ended 7,021 higher for the week. Uncirculated dollar sets enjoyed admirable gains, with this year’s 2009 Presidential Uncirculated Dollar Coin Set increasing 55.8% over last week to 954 units. The 2008 Annual Uncirculated Dollar Coin Set also increased with 1,221 sold in the week, or a 50.9% rise. UHR $20 coins are no longer available. They went off sale on Dec. 31. However, the US Mint has not provided updated sales figures. As a result, the total is unchanged from the prior report.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Should have my UHR tomorrow or Monday. I can't believe how fast the item is making its way to Canada. It was shipped Priority mail International (6-10 days) on Tuesday from St. Louis and made it to Canada today, cleared customs in 5 hours (I marked it specifically as a 99.99% Fine gold coin and stated it was tax exempt, I thought that might slow it up) and is now in the Canadian postal system. Bummer is I'll probably turn it around and sent it back off to PCGS for first strike designation and grading without being able to look at the coin :(

IIRC, the ship date needs to be before or on March 11, 2009. Any date thereafter will not qualify as "First Strike".

Good job. You're in for the First Strike. Some will tell you that it's a BS moniker, and they might be right, but it's still kind of interesting to have that on the slab. As far as that link, History, wow... This line got to me. Can you imagine yourself placing a 1920-S Saint Gaudens coin into a furnace? How times change. 1920-S 558,000 0 Very rare - most appear to have been melted. Kind of reminds me of the day my mother took 2 full garbage bags of me and my 2 brother's baseball, football and hockey cards out to the garbage while we were at school. If I recall, she said something like, "It was time. You guys just leave those things lying all over the living room floor and I'm sick of it! So out they went." I don't even want to think about the dollar value those things would have today with all 3 of us collecting them like crazy. :s10:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! My UHR arrived today from the eBay seller in the states. Got nabbed the tax on the item, but I can always file to get the money back since I know the coin is tax exempt. Opened the book package and took a quick glance, nice book. I'm kind of being driven nuts now though, I want to get it graded, but I want to see the coin NOW! Emailed PCGS asking what I'm supposed to do for customs when I send it back to the states. Hopefully they will get back to me soon so I can send the coin off.

Those FINGER NAILS on the blackboard type thing. Like water dripping on your head ever night before going to sleep. For the reward I got the Obummer Finger of Fate - but they did find them and they did grade them. PS that's the last group of coins I'd ever send them - I'm the KI$$ of DEATH :thumb.aspx: with PGCS and their service. I am... sorry I am... but honest I am. :504:
Seriously, it took 10 weeks for them to grade your coins! Damn, that's a crazy long time.

They lost them for 9 weeks and then called and NEVER sent me the certificates for their screw-up and to reimberse for the MENTAL :cry1: worry every night. I buy PCGS coins already slabbed - but never submit a coin to them - burn me once burn me twice burn me 11 times dealie, :ok:. PCGS and NGC are a PUSH on Saints; both grade equally hard. As would be ANACS - which I have two of them 1909 D/D & a 1914 - I believe. I suggest you slab everything you can - I do. I do I do I do. :coolbeer:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Broke down and opened the box. Didn't feel like waiting another 5-6 weeks to get the coin graded. If I want another one, I'll buy one graded from eBay. The mint did a very nice job on the coin and the presentation of it. The obverse was nice, but the reverse really impressed me. I'm glad I picked up at least one of the coin :)

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! I still love these coins. I think they are a modern heirloom coin if I have ever seen one! How many did they make, 120,000?...for the entire global market?

EE... welcome back! Even though 120k is a large number, numismatically speaking... (compared to the 08-Ws Buffs and AGEs) * 2008-W Proof $50 Gold Buffalo (1 ounce): 25,496 * 2008-W Uncirculated $50 Gold Buffalo (1 ounce): 9,074 * 2008-W Proof $50 American Gold Eagle (1 ounce): 30,237 * 2008-W Uncirculated $50 American Gold Eagle (1 ounce): 11,908 IMO this one-year only pure Au coin (the true vision of St Gaudens) will make both collectors and investors happy. It would be nice to see a run similar to the '08-W Proof Buffalo: from $1049.95to an ask price of $3100 almost tripled :RockOn: Let's see what the aftermarket brings If the UHR more than doubles in a years time I'll be :getdown:

You are so right on the ONE year wonder coins. Wondering why they even bothered to try to show they wanted to what's right and their job and satisfy collector demand in a very half-A$$ way. The coins will be a HOLE a hard to obtain ISSUE because of price availability etcetera etcetera. I also wonder the future will bring - they don't like the extra (steps) making proofs and uncirculated coins for some reason. When you figure the "REASON" out you might put yourself in position to really profit on the dollar side of the answer, you will. PS I understand that the entire US banks now hold 1 to 2 trillion extra dollars in RESERVES. By extra that means more than THEY NORMALLY "used to hold" prior to the "crisis," shall we say. From 2 BILLION then, now to 1,000 to 2,000 BILLIONS. Gee, I also wonder what's gonna happen to the NEW reserves? What, where, when, and why will they be released? That's simple "release" of US $s alone will EASILY double your UHR - IMVHO. But it's gonna play HELL on consumer things like food, utilities, gasoline, insurance, taxes, and things you need to live and have to buy - stock up NOW!

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Well, I've got to thank GIM, HistoryStudent, Gordon Gekko, countless others (too many to list) who have posted in this thread that got me to purchase one of these coins. The UHR is true beauty. I've got pretty much all bullion, but the UHR is the one coin that I just absolutely admire. Thanks, folks, for the inspiration that lead to the most important thing for me...action. To take action and purchase this coin. I will never regret this decision, and will never sell this coin.

It is interesting how human nature does get bored with plain old Gold Eagles, Gold Maples, Gold Pesos, Gold Krugs, and basically gold bullion coins in particular. That said, ONCE you start into NUMISMATICS (after you have enough bullion coins) you will be fascinated by the history. Make sure they are sooner or later encapsulated (unless they are in MINT packaging because for most that's enough, right?) if they are raw. I mention this for many reasons. Sooner or later someone is going to trade them for the currency in VOGUE (the one in current fashion which is rapidly changing right now, right?) and the authentication will assist in the exchange/trade/Perhaps life saving opportunity (like in Vietnam, Germany, Russia, all the iron curtain counties, middle east, etcetera over JUST the last 100 years. Which is only 1/60 th of recorded history in which there were say 400 years of peace in 6,000 - so get a clue, right?) The mint packaging is authentication enough, however. Start into NUMISMATICS so much is free on the web; and the books are cheap. I HIGHLY recommend HISTORIC GOLD COINS OF THE WORLD - by HOBSON :favorites8: Sit down and read it - it's like a easy show & tell in the 10th grade. It's an old book from the 70s with prices in dollars and pounds - so those of us over 60 can see when we missed the BOAT! {Boy back then - I shoulda wouda coulda musta - but now WILL(A)!} It will give you an :emotions16: appreciation for GOLD coins that you will never forget... Best wishes, HS Oh, yes, the Saint Gauden's is in their as the MOST BEAUTIFUL coin ever made in the world.

How many times have you and I said this about numismatics here at GIM??? Yes, after you have one of each bullion gold coin, you want to branch out. And how many times have we mentioned great books and authors to study? For total numismatic-newbies, I like "Coin Collecting for Dummies" (Ron Guth) followed by "The Expert's Guide To Collecting & Investing In Rare Coins (Q. David Bowers), then Bower's individual books for the coins one decides to collect! And this coin - the one-year wonder.......so glad I bought a few of them!!!!

Good stuff. I happen to be a huge fan of Morgan Silver dollars. It seems many people think they're boring or something, but nothing could be further from the truth, especially when it comes to their historical significance. The true American dollar is the Morgan dollar. Why do I say that? Two reasons mainly. 1) It was an important marker of the growth of the American west. 2) During its time,the value of the silver content was approximately 20% less than the face value. In other words, it was an honest form of currency. Those days are gone. But the coins remain. Everyone who admires gold and silver ought to have at least one decent Morgan in his stash.

Me too - I love them - especially the toned ones......and I love taking a stack of them (specially bought to do this) into class and letting them hold them. All the talk in the world is find - but put one of those puppies into someone's hand and, nine times out of ten, they want to know all about them........they are truly "real money"! If you haven't - I suggest you pick up Bower's book on Morgan Silver dollars! I just got a revised edition!!! Cheers! Attachment 86177 Attachment 86178

Eye opening post, and my next silver purchase will be a Morgan Silver dollar or more. This post really is thought provoking for me personally, and I'll share why that is. Several years ago, before I starting buying gold and silver, I first purchased my sailboat and started refitting her for sea. I had always known since a child of silver's value as money, but it never really sank in... Anyway, I had the boat in the yard, the mast removed for refitting. Before restepping the mast on the boat, I told my father I need to aquire a silver dollar. Old sailor's lore, every time you remove a mast, you must place a silver dollar at the base of the mast when you re-step it to the boat. I told my father I was going to purchase a silver dollar for this purpose, and he told me not to, and that he had a silver dollar that his father had given him years ago. It was a morgan (I've learned since) dated from 1886. He gave the coin to me, I placed it underneath the mast as the crane lower it back onto the boat..and now it's pretty much permanently attached to the boat. I reinforced the mast so strong it would be a bear to remove again. I'm very curious about that coin now. At least when I go to sea, I'll not only have the God's favour now, but also taking some american history with me. (I'd really like to see that coin now)...but can not. But I can look at the mast and really wonder about it.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Ten years ago I walk into the gold & silver store and the fellow, a friend for some 10 years prior says: Have you ever thought about slabbed coins?" "Huh?" "Here's a box of 20 -all 1881-S MS64s PCGS - do you like 'em?" "Yes, but how much for the whole thing; the darn thing is 120 years old?" "Oh say, $600, okay?" "Sure anymore" "Well I've got another full box and a box of peace dollars MS64s." "Same price?" "Nope the peace dollars 1923 are $400, okay?" "Sure that's $1,600 so far." "Oh I've got a box of 20 mixed years Morgans all MS64, and a MS65 for $80 and a MS66 for $120 both 1880 S Morgans." "Sold.................!" That was ten years ago and my first start in silver dollars. I've just got them out - some have tone - I just wish I'd bought many more way back when..........But, then he brought OUT the GOLD ONES!:ok:

And do you remember the days when you could get $20 double eagles for less than $500? I wish I'd bought all I could carry! But, no I bought a car and a flat screen TV! Am I a moron?

Naw - we weren't morons - we just didn't know THEN what we know NOW!!! And at least we are wise enough NOW to buy what we can, before the next big price jump - which IS coming!!! But - to those reading this thread - its not enough to buy MS64s or 65's.........it really helps to know which coins are more likely to be sought after and why - hence the books - and my suggestion of Q. David Bower's books for each type of coin you collect..........put out by the official Red Book people, they all start off - "A Guide Book Of......" and then the type, say, Morgan Slver Dollars.........

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! In 1999 the TOTAL M3 money supply was ONLY 6,000 BILLIONS now it is 17,000 BILLIONS - that we KNOW about.

Here the analogy. :ok: Think of filling your bathtub with water. That like the normal backup you'd need for water reserves. Then FILL UP your ENTIRE house and atic with water.

Which would bring gold to roughly $10,000 and silver to (roughly) $200.........as we have said - all do-able!!! Not hard to imagine! I bet the Germans said that in 1918-23 as gold was going from about 179 marks per ounce to over 47 TRILLION an ounce....."Not hard to imagine!"....and I fear the dollar is about to make the same sad trip!! That won't make those of us in PMs any richer - it will just help us from getting any poorer as the masses see their wealth go up like lit paper! Wealth is relative - when those around you loose everything - holding on to what you have makes one that much richer by comparison. But, a closing thought, to me none of this is really about wealth - its about preservation........of wealth, of health and life! Cheers! :emotions16:

For that much money, I figured, hell, one breast had to be exposed! *lol* I don't know - NGC amy call it an error - technically it is, I guess - but much ado about nothing - I have other American eagles with the same "errors" on them and no one gives a hoot! Let's see how the biddng goes!!! :wink:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Yeah, it looks "struck through" but it is not a die clash that would be a real error. It simply looks like the eagle was struck through a small amount of oil. No big deal and it isn't ms70 no matter what the seller says. I have a pile of Andrew Jackson dollar coins with die chips that look like tears. And each one is worth $1.00 EACH! wow! I'd pay $1425 for this coins today.

The strange thing is, today we call the buyer a sucker when he ends up paying $20k for that coin, yet 10 years from now he turns around and sells it for $75k. Maybe the joke's on us.

VERY good point, and I had thought of it.........I guess it depends how many of those labels there are and if collectors take them seriously........ On the other hand - I think this as well (always a Tao thing)........if I HAD that sort of money to spend I doubt I would buy it anyways.........but right now, in this present financial enviroment, how many ounce of gold could I buy for the same price, and which is the better value for the money?? If you aren't sure - I will be doing a weekend workshop soon you might want to attend!! :biggrin:

I love to get ERROR slabbed coins. They add a bit of PREMIUM when you MIGHT sell them down the road. That said I never paid over 10% of the low retail (which I count as about 20% off PCGS prices) BALLPARK. How many ERRORS are there out there and in there NUMISMATIC LAND.

My first gold eagle was one of these. I paid about around a $15 premium for it compared to what a non-error 1/4oz eagle was selling for at the time. I'm certainly not going to spend a large premium for error bullion but a tiny premium is more than worth it IMO.

The SAD SAD SAD reason is NUMBERS. Because they make so few errors the POPULATION in slabbed coins is really low. IE my 1924 saint struck through MS63 - okay. The total census for NGC 1924 Saints was over 270,000 total. The errors? Date/Info: 1924 REV STRUCK THRU Denomination: $20 Grade: MINT ERROR MS 63 Additional Information NumisMedia Value: Price not provided by NumisMedia* Population: Population data not available Not available - but rather few I'd guess. :36_3_16:

From what I've read Numi's have been keeping error coins for decades. I wouldn't know but perhaps someone else can comment.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! What I meant was, I find it strange how we pick and choose what is valuable based on rarity. If I had a hundred R code Ford Torino's & 90 were in superior shape and 9 were in good shape while only one had rust and homade modifications....the most rare of the group is going to be worth the least. My anology is not quite fitting and I fully understand the difference and logic behind errors. It was just a passing observation. Just strikes me as funny.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! To KINDA get back on somewhat the POINT of the original UHR thread wait. Well sitting here in the coldest winter of my 60 years thinking about AL (E-)Gore flying around in his free 767 off his ONE-BILLION dollars easily made from GLOBAL WARMING kick-backs from the scientific community and liberal Democratic (they gotta go!) congress (so he's NOT dumb just a smart crook to get even for losing his CHADS!) ; I searched my 2010 RED BOOK (Super large PRINT example) for the UHR. The reason for this was that I wondered why N.G.C. has not added them to the COIN REGISTRY as to date. I do NOT have PCGS access - so maybe you out there in COINLAND could take a quick l@@k and see if PCGS is ahead of N.G.C. on this, okay? Well, I found that they were included with the BULLION coins - you know the modern EAGLES & BUFFALOS. I did remember seeing the original coin (2 of 20 - 18 were melted - they made still exist at the SMITHSONIAN) in my huge GOLD COIN encyclopedia - 10 pound - book. Well, search your own RED BOOKS for the answer. It was made to show we could DO now today what they could not do (produce) in MASS in 1907 - period. Also it is a PATTERN (copy) coin. Unique as it is it is not a US double eagle currency coin. So sooner or later they will include in the REGISTRYS I'd bet under the MODERN BULLION coin slot. Maybe if Al E-GORE and cronnies could spend more time on truth than fiction we could get our honest money our US Constitution decreed by LAW Article 10 - before they screwed it up! :signs14::cry1:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! After reading your large print from a post yesterday I joked about you loosing your glasses... Guess you really do need the LARGE PRINT addition! :504::23_1_22: Only thing I can offer is that the 2010 RB says- "A modern version of the famous US 1907" IMO "modern version" is still not a replica or a copy by definition. "In god we trust" and the addition of 4 extra stars would be enough to verify that IMO. Interesting to note the "speculated value" for the UHR in the Red Book is at $1700

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Good stuff. I do want to remind you that at the London bullion market in December at $1,220 settlement January at $1,120 settlement Most ALL contracts were settled in paper at a 25% premium/bribe: December at $1,525.00 ounce January at at $1,400.00 an ounce The reason given was bullion shortage to make up for the demand for the ORIENT Express - read a MAJOR problem with prior delivery of authentic gold bullion. So the paper price if you play with the big BOYZ is already $1400 to $1500 north on average. Kinda fits in with the prices we paid for the UHR plus a premium/bribe for the BOXES, right? Or the LOUSY SPOUSIES, right? Ain't to stinkin' much to choose from after that as the mint can't find the bullion that London can;t find either, can it? :sarc: :504: Anyway I'm now I'm now seeinga terrific difference in the paper and physical prices. So TPTB have to DEAL from the BOTTOM of the DECK (like the true riverboat gamblems they are fighting true dgood, honest, ethical, moral GOLD and SILVER, anyway, right? Stay tuned - gold looks like a slam dunk having hit a Paper price of $1525 last year - under the table- so to speak - BUT good as GOLD... From my keyboard to your ears....:36_1_37:

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Great read thanks...makes me want several hundred more! I feel so lowly with my one coin. Holy chit! - NGC MS 70 PL $4,268.00 Quote:
Thursday, February 11, 2010 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Prices Posted by: Michael | Posted in: Ultra High Relief More more than one month has passed since sales of the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin concluded at the US Mint. I thought it would be an interesting exercise to examine the recent sales prices for the coins on the secondary market. In recent weeks, the premiums for many collectible gold coins have experienced a sharp decline. This has come amidst an extended decline in the price of gold, which brought the price from its high of $1,212.50 reached on December 2, 2009 to the recent low of $1,058.00 per ounce reached on February 5, 2010. I have been generally aware of the price levels of the UHR Double Eagles, but it was very interesting to do a more comprehensive evaluation. I compiled all of the data for completed eBay auctions from January 28 to February 10. I recorded the prices for any listings resulting in a sale and the basic aspects of the coin (raw, PCGS, or NGC grade). I came up with a total of 102 prices, which I think provided a reasonable amount of data for examining trends and averages. I did not take into account any factors such as the duration of the auction, time of day, whether it was an auction or Buy It Now, feedback of the sellers, etc. First, I tried to examine the data to see if prices were generally rising or falling, but I also wanted to take into account the price of gold. The trend of the UHR price levels could be a bit difficult to pin down, because of the different price levels for various grades and raw coins. To narrow the focus, I picked the biggest group, raw coins, and looked at the average price for the first five days of data when the average price of gold was $1,080.59 and the last five days of data when the average price of gold was $1,062.02. The average price for the Ultra High Relief Double Eagle in original US Mint packaging for the first five days was $1,520.50. The average price for a similar coin during the last five days examined was $1,549.06. As the price of gold was falling, the prices paid for the UHR Double Eagle held up and even showed gains. I think this is a good indication of the long term staying power and continued premiums for the coin. One of the most surprising things I saw when running through the data were the prices being paid for coins which have been graded NGC MS 70 PL. NGC uses the "PL" designation for coins which exhibit proof like surfaces. During the period, eight coins graded NGC MS 70 PL were sold. Some prices from early in the period were $4,100 and $4,150. The most recent three coins sold for around $4,500 each. NGC's online population report indicates that 589 coins have been graded MS 70 PL compared to 4,611 coins graded MS 70 without the designation. As a final exercise, I calculated the average prices realized for 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagles across various options. The results of these calculations are below. Original Packaging $1,543.48 PCGS MS69 $1,615.25 PCGS MS70 $2,031.25 PCGS MS70 FS $2,229.60 NGC MS 69 $1,547.00 NGC MS 69 PL $2,412.80 NGC MS 70 $1,836.45 NGC MS 70 PL $4,268.00 I thought it was interesting that the average price paid for a UHR Double Eagle in the original box was $1,543.48. This is just a little bit above the highest price that the US Mint had charged for the coin. The price of $1,539 was briefly in effect when the average price of gold had risen to a range between $1,150 and $1,099.99. The lowest price the US Mint charged for the coin was $1,089, in effect when sales first began on January 19, 2009.

Scandals can be many from the stocks, bonds, efts, munis, commodities, futures, options, and even in PMs as the Chinese recently claimed and caused every GOLD bar in the world to be examined. So...

I don't think anyone directly answered your question. PL's are not struck from a different die. They were probably the first coin struck from a new pair of dies. Or maybe the second. The mint went through many sets of dies. So, the PL's are the true first strikes. But, there is no way of knowing this when looking at a coin other than judging the condition of the surface. A coin marked as "First Strike" by PCGS could have been the last strike from a particular set of dies.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! So basically it's a crap shoot depending on who is "grading" the coin and when. Obviously if I have a couple UHR and send them in to be graded, they have no way of knowing when it went under the press right? I'm curious between an ms70 and a PL69-70...if the planchets are the same is it an amount of luster present that determines the PL grade? Sorry for the questions but it sounds a bit fishy.

What does prooflike mean for UHR? On the mint page, and eb*y they look alike (maybe its the quality of the pic?). are they shinier/more reflective than the regular ones?

Here is how the coin grading is done by NGC. http://www.ngccoin.com/coingrading/grading2.asp GE, proofs are like little mirrors in that they reflect back what they are held up to. Proof like means that the coin has many of the reflective qualities of a proof but aren't reflective like a proof. Did I get that right HS?

I guess my question is: were there coins that were specifically made as proofs? Or is it possible any UHR can be "proof-like"?

Sorry you GOTTA know somebody to get the * PROOF LIKE * just kidding and teasing too much... :signs14: "the devil made me do it," said Flip Wilson.. :evil: smile :signs14: The Proof Like is probably from a new set of DIES (dyes?) and the first coin from polished dies, too.

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Proof Like 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagles Fetch Big Premiums Can you describe the appearance and surfaces of 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coins that have received NGC's "PL" designation? Robert B. Lecce: A PL coin has a definite Proof Like and Shinny Mirror Surface on ALL of the Obverse and Reverse of the coin. The only difference from the UHR PL coins and other Modern Proof coins is that the UHR PL coins do NOT exhibit the Cameo Contrast that is evident on standard Modern Proof Coins. In our opinion they fit the standards of Proof in all other aspects. Once you have seen a PL and a NON PL UHR side by side the difference becomes more obvious. A NON Proof Like coin has a satin matte like surface not unlike a standard MS or burnished modern coin. The problem lies in that there is a wide range of "in between" surfaces. They range from almost PL to very slight faint hints of PL. There are also coins that are PL on the Obverse but not on the reverse. From our experience a UHR is much more likely to have a PL Obverse and NON PL reverse. It seems to me that the definitive distinction of a PL coin is a coin that has FULL PL surfaces on Obverse and Reverse including and MOST importantly in between the rays on the reverse of the coin. That is the most likely part of the coin to lack the true PL surface. Good read. :5_1_120: http://news.coinupdate.com/proof-lik...ld-coins-0166/

Re: 6 to 9 month wait on UHR eagles! Got me another UHR with the American Flag on it! A MS70 PCGS "First Strike" - I just LOVE those (unfortunately expensive bancha) things... By the way I recently saw that the PROOF LIKE NGC designation is now hitting 10% of the TOTAL ones graded. Seems that the astute ones (read you - take a L@@KSEE) take a GOOD look at their PCGS MS70s and see if they are shiny on BOTH (BIGGIE is BOTH) SIDES and crack them out and send them to NGC - GUESS WHAT? Boy, you are too smart, right they come back most times * PROOF LIKE * - NO brainer, folks. And sell them for 5 to 10 grand on NO MORE FREE BAY. See I made many of you double your MONEY just for reading my BS.

Hey HS, I have a question for ya. If I send in a UHR to NGC, what if they switch a lower graded one for the one I sent in, ie how to prove your coin is yours? AND If I go through a coin dealer to send in the coin, what is to guarantee, the coin dealer also does a switch? :15_1_70v:

PCGS sells coins NGC does NOT for ONE thing. I've seen TRUE examples where the owner of PCGS buys a coin and then regrades it higher from a fellow who tried five times prior - and then doubles his money. DYODD P.S. the seller to PCGS was really PI$$ED OFF! The world is full of crooks especially now. :Surrender::ok: Also you want the PROOF LIKE grade from NGC not PCGS it does NOT have one but they have graded a LOT of UHR MS70 that are really shiny on BOTH sides and could easily get a NGC MS70 * PROOF LIKE * grade in return to YOU doubling your coin worth... it's a slam DUNK if you are smarter than a ROCK.
