OK folks. It appears the dealers and the 3rd party graders have performed the greatest hoax and SCAM on coin collectors and...they are getting rich from it. Due to concerns from the Covid-19 virus, the US Mint reduced operations at the West Point Mint and move the remaining Silver Eagle production to the Philadelphia Mint. This is standard operating procedure (SOP) as these programs are on time schedule by Congress which can't be changed. Therefore, drafted a letter informing dealers of this as many pick them up from the Mint and they would not be there. Although this would make these Silver Eagles minted special just a little as they were supposed to be minted at West Point when in fact, they were minted at Philadelphia instead. A copy of this letter is attached to validate this information. So, the dealers decided to add false narrative and create a false label through NGC & PCGS stating these 240,000 Silver Eagles were an "Emergency Issue" and thus were able to charge double or triple for them of which many buyers are doing and not realizing they are being SCAMMED. If you read the letter, nowhere within does it state this change of location was an "emergency" or that is was "extraordinary" beyond standard operating procedure (SOP). On the contrary, it clearly states this is being done for safety and health concerns and nothing else.
So, I sincerely hope this reaches everyone as to avoid being SCAMMED and scalped by these liars. This is nothing more than a money grab and should be recognized as such. Please be aware and be careful.
