    Please clarify, u got two on Sunday?

    Sunday was the smoothest operation yet and quick confirmations and decent ship out. 🇺🇸

    Wow. Incredible. What a day.

    Curious, was it u and someone else or did u have time to buy two AGE s on two different accounts yourself? Was wondering how long they were up. Incredible, Incredible score.

    Bots. It's almost certainly all bots if he had time to order two.

    Sunday morning gold V75 order arrived at the local UPS station this afternoon.
    Delivery Wednesday by 7:00 pm, I'll be sitting at the window.

    btw, paid for normal shipping

    On an order of that value, kind of doesn't matter what shipping you choose. The economy would go out via the same method as expedited

    I ordered via overnight and it came ups next day air, my friend ordered the normal $4.95 shipping and it came ups ground. So it does matter. Maybe the middle tier doesn’t matter for gold. I’m surprised the silvers all shipped usps though, that’s an upgrade from the normal smart post on the cheapest shipping.

    Anything over a certain $ value gets expedited

    Ok, but you said on an order over a certain value it doesn’t matter what you choose. I’m saying it still does. Depending on where you live there is a few day difference between next day and and ups ground.

    My AGE V75 came yesterday. For some reason this box is so much nicer than my other unopened mint boxes.

    Yes, that may be true. The problem is that the MInt doesn't factor in your selection when they decide WHEN to ship it. The last time I picked next day - and it will be the LAST time - they sent it via next day air when they finally posted it 10 days after I purchased it. I actually got another package, standard shipping, while I was still waiting for the next day air to be actually posted!

    Aren’t you the one who talks about using a script?

    All the script does is hit the check out button when the coin becomes available. I have to be there, I have to fill in the info, I have to start it.

    I've spoken with two people using true automated bots on the mints site and theirs do far, far more. They emerged in the wake of the sneaker markets general nonsense and became locked on the mints site with the easy money that was last years ERP fiasco.

    Think about how data is moved between your computer and the Mints servers. People have worked to reverse engineer those packets of data and send them to the mints servers in a way that means they can just ping the server directly with the data packets rather than do the whole add to cart then checkout thing. You cannot really tell they're doing this unless they make a mistake.

    Yes I’ve seen videos of those bots on Twitter. Hopefully there is a way the mint can stop then. But before I found out about those advanced bots I always thought a bot just did what your setup does, mirror all the actions needed to checking. But there is definitely more sophisticated ones out there now.

    I do not really need the money from this, for what it is worth. My primary motivation is to get one and donate money to a coin friend of mine who finds himself in a really tough situation. Graduated from college 18ish months ago, stuck at home with his parents in the middle of nowhere, no car for transportation, so no real way to job hunt, and his alumni network at his school is basically useless. As a result, he's getting pretty down on himself, so a group of my friends decided to help him out by raising money to try to get him a car and cover some of his expenses in job hunting as well as helping him redo his resume, get a nice suit, do interview prep, etc.

    If I manage to get a $50 gold, I am going to match all of the existing donations to the money pool I created to raise money for him, by double. It would be around $2,500, if my memory serves, and would bring our pool up to almost $4,000 to help him get back on his feet.

    So there you have it, that is my motivation. Not personal profit, not collecting, but I just want to be able to be extra generous this holiday season. I am really frustrated, especially when I see the greed of some people.

    If anybody wants to donate, feel free to PM me and I will share the link.

    No, also got 2 ASE's first day. She keeps me honest and we are just having fun :D .
    In fact, I think she was the first and only that stayed on the ASE ERP's for 8 months until 8/5 when we picked up +3. Maybe not everyday but pretty consistant if we think there is a chance. Most of them I just keep the box in safe or grade.

    Still trying my luck on an AGE still. :|

    Pretty lucky that u guys were on Sunday. I don't think anyone was expecting anything on Sunday at all. If u were skipping some days u massively lucked out.

    Per my above post, was anyone expecting anything on Sunday? I think most figured small chance as holiday weekend and nothing the prior 3 days. I'd think they programmed the Sunday sales in on Wed.

    I’m expecting it every day till it says sold out. It’s just that Sunday was the one day when my alarm didn’t want to ring!

    PCGS just flashed my results on the gold v75 eagle. PF70 !!!! Can't wait to see it in hand. Now if I can only snag an ASE. Nothing came up last night.

    Eagles have landed!

    The V75 labels are nice looking, But with the backwards presentation of these I prefer the normal label and orientation. I just wish they included the FS flag symbol on the GS FS label. The submitter pays an extra $18 for FS and for that $18 the submitter only gets two extra words printed on a standard GS label. OK, rant over.

    Those are nice looking coins, congrats on the pair of V75s. Have you found the blemish keeping them from being 70?
