Mine shipped FedEx SmartPost yesterday. It's sitting 200 miles from me right now and scheduled for delivery Monday the 25th!
Mine shipped Fri/15th and is supposed to arrive Wed/27th. That's messed up.
Whatever...I paid for slow shipping. I'm getting my money's worth.

That's really slow shipping. It must be a West Coast thing. I paid for slow shipping and the coin that mailed out on the 15th should be in my hands tomorrow. I'm on the East Coast. Even though the coin is a San Francisco minted piece, I'm thinking it will ship from Philly. Also note that the FedEx times are also a bit wonky. I think mine was originally due this Saturday, but the time was revised to this Thursday instead.
I sorta hope the Mint drops a bomb and strikes 30k more, think of all those Ebay returns
How the heck did a few people get so many? I bet 25% of the mintage went to a few dozen dealers.
This is not the first time a mint product pissed off a lot of people and there were hopes of an increase mintage, it never happens. Best chance keep checking mint at 7:30 et Monday through Saturday.

Is this seller
More than a few dozen dealers. I don't know of any dealers whi have thousands of coins, but several have hundreds.
There are also non dealers right on this forum who got over 10 coins by employing friends and family.

Yep. Mine shipped Budget ($4.95) on Saturday. It's 200 miles from me in USPS hands and scheduled for delivery Monday the 25th!

I got a shipping notice last Friday. Due this Saturday. I think they are walking it over.
I would have paid for the faster shipping but since I had to enter my cc info 2 or 3 times during multiple crashes I just let all that go to default.

How were you able to order at 12:11 on Friday? They were sold out in jig time Friday morning. I don't think they add more throughout the day do they?
That's the time that the order received email reflected. I was frantically trying on so many devices I don't know which one actually went through but that's the time that the order received email reflected

So then...how many of you are sending it sealed to a TPG vs ripping the box open first and having it slabbed later.
I have 2 on route and might just open them in the here and now.
I'd appreciate any thoughts?
I originally said I would open the boxes and send the coins in....now that I was reminded that to get the cert # on the slab , and it would be cool if it was a LOW number or signed, the unopened box has to be sent. No biggie, not a cert slabbing fan but I will send the boxes in for the number on the slab and request return of OGP.
I wonder if any of the MCM graded coins will have the cert number on the slab. The mock up pic doesn't show any number but the real ones might or might not.

I don't know what how anything can be as slow as FedEx SmartPost.
Let me see.
DHL has something called DHL eCommerce. I have a package coming from California via DHL eCommerce. Shipped on Nov 14, will probably get to me Nov 25-27, if not, then early December after Thanksgiving. DHL won't even give me an approximate arrival date.
UPS has a version called UPS SurePost. I ordered something from a store 20 miles away. Label created on Saturday, Nov 16, picked up by UPS Nov 18. Package then traveled to a hub 40 miles away, so they could xfer it to the USPS, and the package might get here today.
I think Truth In Advertising should make them all rename their service SuxPost...
@Raufus said:

I swear they intentionally slow them down so you want to pay for the faster service. Mine have been in Ohio for 2 days. I'm in Western NY, so they are maybe a 6 hour drive away but they are still estimated for next Monday. That would make 7 days from Ohio to Western NY. You almost could walk here faster. LOL

For about the same cost, which one is more secure? in event of loss I doubt that either would re-imburse you more than the cost of the coin from the mint.
I have a relatively low order number (07203xxx). I received the email saying the package shipped with free shipping on the 17th. Delivery day is scheduled for the 30th. I'm in California and the package is being sent from Tennessee. That seems odd to me since it is minted in San Francisco which is less than 200 miles away.
Last time I had issues ordering was for the 2015 Eisenhower Coin and Chronicles set. The website wasn't working properly, I think the Mintage Limit was 17,000 with Household Limit of 2. I got shutout but was eventually able to get 2 while checking for availability each morning in the following days. They are still in the sealed Mint Box... why do I buy this stuff when I don't even open the box to look at them???

Well, the details on the S-Mint ASE ERP (American Silver Eagle, Enhanced Reverse Proof... There's a mouthful) has been released. Hmmmm....
Price has been set at $65.95, $10 more than the proof.
The product number 19XE suggests this will be a one year release as a special Mint product.
From the Mint's description:
The 2019 American Eagle One Ounce Silver Enhanced Reverse Proof Coin is the perfect gift for any occasion or addition to any collection.
Ha! At a mintage of 30K, not many of these'll be given away as gifts...
I was hoping for a 50K mintage, but at 30K? That's a whole new ballgame. A pretty quick sellout. The 2017-S proof (with a mintage of 75K (congrats set, not mentioning the 50K later in the LESPS) sold out in 3 minutes with a HHL of 10. At 30K and HHL of 1, we're still probably looking at what a 10 minute sellout? This'll be fun...
I'll be in for one...

nothing this morning
Kennedys are my quest...
AS I said in one of the other 50 threads they were definitely available for quite some time on Friday. 1211p order time is definitely possible.
You are confusing days. The coins came available on Thursday at 12:00 and were available until about 12:18.
Ahhh...thanks for the correction on the day of the order. I was responding to the comment to the OP not the OP. Oops

MCM pre selling PF69's and Gem proofs in OGP for $950
Wow! that's out there for 69's but makes sense that the price is the same for OGP and the 69's....66 total available (OGP + 69 graded.
For 70's..."call"
It also would be interesting to see the Mint sales numbers as of Sunday....
Yes it would. Their last posted sales were as of Nov. 3. They are a little behind.
Well that's a normal progression for "Smart"Post.....I just got a text for my SmartPost that has been sitting at "Label Created..waiting for pickup" since Saturday.....went right to "Out for Delivery" with zip in between....

There is always an attempt to cover up the price and the number of 70's in the beginning to go for maximum profit.
God bless America. Land of the free and home of the capitalist.
I had been free from buying Mint products for several years and now they are pulling me back in.

If you go to the very first PINNED Post it’s the PCGS announcement of this coin and COA and it has pictures there.
