2008 Bald Eagle Sets Now Sold Out

Orders reached the 25,000 mintage limit within 6 weeks of going on the market. There was a one-per-household limit during 4 of those 6 weeks so J6P only had 2 weeks to order it in any significant numbers.

I've been watching them closely on Ebay over the past 10 days and a nice premium of about $70 is now developing, even after deducting 5% for fees. I was only able to pick up one of these, though, since I was waiting for a solid premium to develope. By the time it had, the mint was sold out. Oh, well. I really need to work on my future prediciton skills. :smokin:

I'm still pissed at getting cut out of the Eagle Anniversary set but it was my fault for waiting too long. I did manage to buy some 1999 and 2001 silver quarter sets though. I bought a couple of Bald Eagle proofs, they are extremely nice. If it's ok, I'll repost the picture--

She's a beaut, alright. I picked up a proof dollar for keeping, too. I think the set's getting sold, though. The dollar's the prettiest part of it, IMHO.

My proof showed up in the mail today.


hot off the scanner!



these proofs have amazing contrast when scanned.

sorry to change the subject, but this weeks Coin World magazine says that Silvertowne in Indiana has reported melting down 6000 to 8000 first spouse gold coins.

Dealers bought large lots of the Washington and Adams anticipating a big retail demand.

The retail demand didn't show up and POG has gone up about $300 since then.

Sorry Martha. Sorry Abigail.

into the melting pot you go!

I remember when you showed your scans of the 20th Anniversary Eagles and said how nice they were. I elected to wait another month to order, not one of my better decisions.

The coins have amazing contrast period.

Does anyone see the "Star of David" formed by the 13 stars inside the wreath?:smokin:

Re: 2008 Bald Eagle Sets Now Sold Out
 

For some reason the letters in LIBERTY didn't highlight as much as the eagle in my scans.

Scanning coins is pretty much a hit or miss proposition. Sometimes they look good, and sometimes not.

Re: 2008 Bald Eagle Sets Now Sold Out
 

didn't notice it.

but then,

I'm not one of the conspiracy nuts.

Re: 2008 Bald Eagle Sets Now Sold Out
 

I'm not one either but when I viewed these coins for the 1st time I couldn't help but see the star of David formed by those stars in the wreath, it really jumps out at you. Does it have any significance? Probably not...

Well,

thanks for killing this thread with the jew hatred stuff.

Star of Molech.

You can search the history of the great seal to discover when the stars were put in that arrangement.

Oh, I'm sorry, could you please direct me to the Jew bashing thread then:tongue_ma:

Re: 2008 Bald Eagle Sets Now Sold Out
 

Note that this is only for the three coin set.
The individual gold coins have a mintage limit of 100k so there's very little chance of those actually selling out.
The Silver coins have a 500k limit...

Re: 2008 Bald Eagle Sets Now Sold Out
 

I ordered all three coins separately and earlier. It was much cheaper, arouind $60FRNs and I do not have the three coin holder. :shocked_ma: I did not see the need to spend an extra $60 FRNs for a holder.

How does j6p get advanced knowledge of this sort of thing?

Re: 2008 Bald Eagle Sets Now Sold Out
 

I'd say just check the US Mint's website every week or so early in the year.
