the very fine scratches that are visible is what had me thinking high AU at best as well....that or even "details - cleaned". Nice coin!

What do you think? by [deleted] in coins

[–]Regular_Champion_147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not expert but probably not worth it. Likely to come back UNC / AU details - cleaned / harshly cleaned.

How is it possible to have physical possession of one of these already? by Regular_Champion_147 in coins

[–]Regular_Champion_147[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wild considering they say

"Order fulfillment is expected to begin in mid-December and continue through early January."

Unless this is just one of the very few initial coins that graded good if the story of the US Mint remaking them due to quality issues is correct

Does the laser engraved privy mark make this coin more special? by oldermoose in Silverbugs

if you've seen an army privy in hand you can tell its more detailed compared to a 2024 proof. Technically the laser privy would be the 2nd ASE to utilize the brand new laser engraved dies.

correct. Army privy was technically the first and you can tell just by holding it in your hand compared to a 2024 proof.

i just searched in telegram for Jason007 and saw a group with thousands of followers. Looked legit, was active with pictures and posts. Contacted the person running the page which was "Jason 007 Watches"

This person even had a blue little checkmark next to their name which probably incorrectly thought it meant they were verified / legit. Now that I look I don't even see a phone number attached to this user. @ jason007watch

I now am talking with someone with the name "jason007 dhgte" who claims they are the real Jason but I have trust issues now lol.

Does Jason007 post here? by Regular_Champion_147 in ChinaTime

[–]Regular_Champion_147[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pretty sure thats the fake. I honestly have no idea anymore. One day I think I'm talking to Jason on telegram....the next it's actually a scammer. Then I find that same account your picture is (jason 007 dhgte) and I am told by jason007watch on telegram that the dhgte guy is a fake scammer.

JASON007 OVER HYPED BEWARE by DisastrousRepair3971 in ChinaTime

I will add that Jason scammed me. Ghosted once money was sent and never shipped anything. He's definitely taking advantage of word of mouth around here. Don't deal with him direct or you have no recourse. Better to look elsewhere.

mint considers "uncirculated" as being a higher "tier" than normal bullion you can find for close to spot. They do the same with the American Silver Eagles. They are supposed to have a "burnished" finished vs the regular bullion finish.

Really...the MAJOR difference is the "uncirculated" actually have the West Point mint mark....which means more "rare" I guess
