This auction was a Buy it Now at a price I accepted. This was because on the 13th of October 2022 I came across a similar auction for the exact same coin in the same grade in the same holder that was offered for $195.95 and it had been hard to find a silver Completer coin for much under $300.00. This holder also has to be rare as the Queen had just passed away 5 weeks prior. That auction also accepted other offers & I offered $175.00. Shortly after the seller made a counteroffer to me for $185.00 which I liked but thought I'd sleep on it. By the next morning, on the 14th of October, this coin had been purchased by someone else. When this particular coin came up for purchase around the 15th, I was interested but, again, I thought I would think about it. This coin was available for several days before I decided to take it. On the 25th of October 2022, I examined this coin with my Vantage 10X Loupe and I describe it thusly: The Obverse has 2 marks on the neck, This coin is otherwise clean with no post-mint marks or staining but die preparation looks to be somewhat deficient. The Reverse shows 2 marks across the cheek of the White Greyhound, Again, the Reverse is clean of any post-strike marks and no staining but the die preparation looks to be somewhat deficient.

I determined that it was difficult to find a 2012 Silver Eagle graded MS70 by PCGS & in a Flag First strike holder that did not also list San Francisco or West Point as the mint it was minted at. I did not want that on the label as I already had the red bar for San Francisco & Blue bar for West Point labels to distinguish them.

The Obverse has a small bronze toning spot in the wide band of Liberty's gown above the "WA" initials, a toning spot @ 2:30 O clock & a bright spot @ 10:00 O clock of the Sun, a light toning spot just past the "I" of "LIBERTY", a light tick on Liberty's left Breast, a toning spot just past the "T" of "LIBERTY".

On the Reverse, the "R" of "AMERICA" has a mark across its top that moves over and is just barely visible on the letter "I", the rest of the Reverse looks clean.

Reverse: Designed by Jennie Norris, the reverse features a beautiful, close-up portrait of an eagle. This design is the first new design introduced since the series began in 1986." This auction began @ 4:50:03 pm PDT on the 23rd of October 2022 with an opening bid of $995.00. This auction had 2 bidders make 2 bids. The other bidder bid first @ 4:45:26 am PDT on the 28th of October 2022 with a bid to match the open @ $995.00. I had looked at another of the same coin offered by this same dealer that was a Buy it Now auction @ $1089.00 that took offers. On the 25th of October @ 13:04:08 PDT, I offered $950.00 on that coin, and shortly after I received a counteroffer of $980.00. I thought I would accept that offer but choose to wait until the next day. When I looked to accept that offer, I discovered that it was no longer available because someone else had purchased it. I was upset at myself and decided to probe some other dealers I did business with to see if they could come close to the $980.00 price. Liberty Coin would not. When I discovered this auction, I decided I would go after it. I bid the price that Liberty Coin offered theirs at and would not come any lower than $1136.36. I did bid this @ 4:49:57 pm PDT on the 30th of October 2022 and the auction ended @ 4:50 pm PDT on the 30th of October 2022. I examined this coin on the 4th of November 2022 with my Vantage 10X Loupe and describe it thusly. The Obverse has some light marks radiating up and to the right on the rays of the Sun starting on ray #5 from the left and moving up and to the right to ray # 10. The Reverse has a small bright spot ding at the top of the Eagle's head above the eye and in a line down and between the "E' & "T" of "WE TRUST".
