Bought the 1/2 Oz WWII. Not sure why yet. I guess because I could?
LOL. I almost bought one a minute ago because I really like the design. But the fact is, I don’t think it will retain value over time, which is why I sold the first one I bought at a small profit. I’m hoping to find one close to spot in the coming years.
Ordered 4 of the WWII Silver Medals last week and they arrived today.
2 were out of the capsules, bouncing around and scratched.
2 will be sent back.....

That's a bummer. Sounds like there is too much room inside the box to keep the capsule in place. It is a nice design, I like that black/white contrast in your photo. Hopefully they have enough in stock for you to give replacements.

Here we are over five hours later and there is still more than 99 of them available. I wonder if they will sell?
I suspect they will sell, as they are selling for more than the Mint price on Ebay. But the Ebay sellers generally aren't making much profit after fees.

That's a shame. The WWII gold coins that are now available are most likely returns. I wonder if any of those will have similar scratches?
I see there are still over 99 of the 1/2 gold coins still available. There are over 99 of those Palladium coins too. Now lets see if any V75s pop up today.

I sent back 8 of the 2 pc Mayflower Silver Sets last week. I wonder if those were the ones available today.
The UK coins had spots on the obverse.
WWII 1/2 Oz. now no longer available. I doubt they sold them out. Likely they are doing another inventory. Mayflower 400th Anniversary Gold Reverse Proof Coin still available at this writing.

I canceled the WWII 1/2 Oz coin I bought yesterday. No real interest.
I was on the fence as to grab one of these...I do have the silver medal, just wish it were a coin instead. It'll be interesting to see how many 1/2 oz golds left.

I am thinking the V75 gold
Might be over
You might just be right... It is a sad day. Somehow after this morning and a rate limit ban on my bag and checkout I could still do product browsing while banned. I put 99 of the 1/2 ouncers to the bag to see that 8 were available at the time. But with my bag being banned I couldn't see anything. I just looked and my bag had 99 out of stock 1/2 ouncers, no AGE to be seen. I am now back to nothing in my cart. Given four remaining and me needing to do the two step I think I might be done. I might look at playing with the ASE but thats not the same.

It's over.
The infamous V75 AGE is finished here. Sad day to see the sold out sign hanging up. Congrats to all that were successful getting one of these slippery coins. Good try to all those that were still fighting for one. Too bad that bag has a hole in it, I had it in my bag twice!!!
Well there it is. The finish sign. Life can go on again.
Tomorrow I'll see if PCGS needs to fix my label to read "1 of 1941". I wonder if there are 4 floating around the USPS floors that would equal the 1945 total mintage. As in 1945 minted, 1941 sold, 4 lost at sea...
So many unknowns. A couple weeks ago I actually submitted a FOIA request on the daily distribution/return stats of these coins and a status request of the "final 6". I'm still waiting to see how they respond. I'll share my finding when I get them.

... the AGE turned into the WWII Silver medal.
ALCEMY!!!
45 minutes later and there is still over 100 left with No household limit. I wonder if the remaining 666 just popped up available.
Did these have a bunch of cancelled orders and returns?
I know of one that will be canceled or returned. It won’t let me yet, but it will....

Nothing available
I saw no movement on the V75s
some more mayflower coins available. WW2 silver medal was available for about 1 minute. I did not see AGE or ASE V75 flip.

Is still in my bag, shouldn’t it disappear when sold out?
I'm not sure. I still have one in my bag too.

ASE V75 flipped for a few seconds, I was too slow in checkout but at least have the ASE in bag now.
20xf silver went red for me, but can't make it work.
ASEvf was available. Got it my bag but did not get it.
