The short read

Eight questions before you buy online.

Open one record at a time. Follow the source when you want the longer comparison.

MS70 and PR70 are separate strike families: MS70 is Mint State and PR70 is Proof. Compare the exact issue, finish, designation, holder, certification record, and population rather than treating the shared number as an apples-to-apples rarity score.

Type-2 identifies a reverse design, not a grade. Attribute it through the issue, date, holder label, certification record, and population context before comparing a premium.

Start with the cert number in the correct NGC or PCGS lookup, then match the service, issue, date, grade, finish, designation, holder, and report date before comparing population. Population is dated context from the service report, not a guarantee of value.

White Horse Vault prices certified flawless American Eagles against live spot plus the scarcity premium for the specific coin. That premium reflects the coin’s scarcity rather than a flat markup applied to every piece.

Enter the cert number for a lookup against the active tray. A matched row uses the morning LBMA spot, that row’s scarcity premium and population context, and returns a same-day quote before remote holder review. If the cert is not matched, the lookup explains that no quote is available instead of inventing one.

White Horse Vault owns the two Texas vaults used for custody; they are two of the largest vaults in Texas. Membership includes segregated vault custody for certified pieces there. Review the membership options and a representative certified detail record to see the custody promise alongside the coin’s public fields.
