I was also able to get a v75 silver proof coin this morning. I am shocked too. I was ready to give up. My fumbling hands managed to get the order in before the supply was consumed.

What is the First Strike cutoff date for unopened boxes of the 2021 Proof Silver Eagle? Not sure if it is March 11th or later with an unopened box?
FS eligibility on unopened boxes from the Mint is determined by the postmark.
Unfortunately, there currently is no cut-off date listed at the PCGS site for 21EA. Link
I have e-mailed them about this issue, but do not expect an immediate response. If they surprise me with a timely reply, I will post the information in this thread.

Ended up calling PCGS this AM on an unrelated issue. So, I inquired about this.
Spoke with CS rep named Daniel. He said that:
~ the FS cutoff for 21EA would be 30 days from the Mint release date of 02/11/21 (i.e., 03/13/21);
~ he would request that the 21EA release be added to the 'FS webpage/cutoff table'. Completion timing unknown.
Note - If you submit for FS before the 'FS webpage/cutoff table' is updated, he recommends that you include a screenshot of the Mint "product schedule", with the 21EA release highlighted. Doing this should reduce the probability of any processing delays.

My intention wasn’t to hijack this thread with a parallel silver proof just kind of excited and shocked to the point that I was glad I doubled down on my red button Depends this morning.
Even if, as someone had said in another thread, that the screwdriver was taken to this Silver V75 coin I would still keep it! Even when it spots and turns 64, still.

All my orders less than 99 have shipped, some were ordered a week or two after the first order of 99. First in/First out doesn’t exist.
What's the deal with this? Same thing is going on with my orders.
Those that anticipate or expect or even demand that the Mint operate from logic when shipping will be frustrated and eventually angry and then move into that last stage of grieving, acceptance.

Of course, the big boxes could hold far more than 89, but they need to leave lots of extra room so they can slide around and get damaged during shipment.

No, it wasn't actually me, but I think I know who it was. They probably don't want to ruin their reputation.
I will be happy to sell one of my 2021W proof Type 1 ASEs to anyone on this forum for $10,724.99 (+ postage). For that price, I will guarantee authenticity with an official Mint C of A, ship it in original Mint packaging, and include a one-of-a-kind recording of me singing the Star Spangled Banner while standing erect (not kneeling).

Singing the Star Spangles banner while erect? Not sure I want that visual.
My coins arrived today. Unlike many of you, I only purchased three divided into two orders. I opened one to keep and will keep the pack of two sealed to sell or grade someday.
I have to say that I'm very impressed by how well packaged these were with the Styrofoam pieces. If only they had done this years ago. But, it's progress!!
Beautiful coins.
How, with such a high mintage, they'll ever keep any real premium I don't know but with only 3 not much to go wrong.
I picked up a couple of the these 2021 proof SEs and I'll probably go after some of the other SE "rarities" planned for later in the year. But, I am looking for the exit ramp at some point. Maybe 2021 with the switch in design will be the push I need.
I stumbled onto sime of the special issue SEs from the past several years that we all scrambled for, and I've honestly lost track and am starting to care less about all the varieties.

Mine have not been so well packed in all cases. Some yes. Some no. Same with the taping of the box. Some of them were taped so loosely that I'm not sure how they stayed sealed during transit.
I don't think they will keep much of a premium in the long run. But right now they are hanging in their. I through a few "extras" on eBay at $115 with free shipping and sold them out in 2 hours (17 coins). THANKS TO MANAGED PAYMENTS AND THE BULLION RATE...oh, sorry, wrong thread.
They are selling at around $130 on eBay, I know, but I wanted to blow some out quickly just in case my other 500 ever ship. Definitely worth the flip at the moment, so I still check at 7:30 EST every day.
I have 100 in for FDOI, I’ll send 100 in for First Strike, I’ll keep 100 FS for multi-holder when the type 2 comes out, and sell the rest raw. I figured I can move more selling 3 “different” variants.
This is a hobby for me, so as long as I break even I’ll be happy.

Why not? Any risk taken where loses can be mitigated is a win. Any profit is just icing on the cake.
I will say I have been doing this long enough to not buy to lose.

Dealers feel the same way, if that's the way you meant it. It just sounded like you didn't care if you made a profit. Of course, breaking even is not the worst outcome.

I am sure the forum members who still haven't been able to buy even one truly appreciate your flipping updates and the hundreds of them you have been able to accumulate the past month.🙄

I offered to sell one at cost to any forum member who had hadn't gotten one. And I did fulfill those requests.
The post I was responding to mentioned the long term price so I provided actual current experience trying to sell them now, encouraging people to flip them if they can get them. That is DESPITE actually creating 7:30 a.m. competition for myself.
Anyone who reads this thread knows how many I have.
I sold them at $115 - the LOWEST price on eBay, so why don't you go on eBay and send hate mail to everyone who is higher than me?
@jessewvu has a similar post up there - be sure and troll him also.
6.Tell me again how many W quarters you found and how many you flipped to buy better coins. So, take your own advice.]
There is NO MINT LIMIT on purchasing these, so I did not stop anyone from getting these. I bought a grand total of zero on the day of issue.
There's an "ignore" function. DM me if you need help in implementing it.

@jmlanzaf beat me to it but I was going to point out that he has already very generously offered to sell a coin at issue price to anyone who got shut out.
Also, I have appreciated the updates because they alerted me to the routine for buying in the days and weeks after issue date. I was able to put in two orders for one each that way.
I understand (and even shared) your frustration but I think it is slightly misplaced in this case.

All my orders less than 99 have shipped, some were ordered a week or two after the first order of 99. First in/First out doesn’t exist.
My intention wasn’t to hijack this thread with a parallel silver proof just kind of excited and shocked to the point that I was glad I doubled down on my red button Depends this morning.
Even if, as someone had said in another thread, that the screwdriver was taken to this Silver V75 coin I would still keep it! Even when it spots and turns 64, still.
Just so everyone is clear, @MilesWaits didn't score a 2021 proof SE, he scored last year's WWII privy marked SE this morning.
Amazing!
What's the deal with this? Same thing is going on with my orders.
Ok, moving back to the V75 thread now and thanks for the clarification, JBK.
Those that anticipate or expect or even demand that the Mint operate from logic when shipping will be frustrated and eventually angry and then move into that last stage of grieving, acceptance.
they are probably hiring a logistics company to figure out how to fit 99 little boxes into 1 big shipment. :-/
that's semi-serious. 99 is a lot. how many pounds is that? they're likely to need multiple boxes.
but yes, they need to be doing FIFO and 99 should not override that.
heh. going to lose money on that $4.95 shipping charge.
I think 50 of them weighed around 16 Lbs.
99 would be close to 28 lbs
That's why I call it "The Puzzle Palace". (not my original term) They have lots of practice being unfathomable. Logic plays only an obscure portion of the process.
My order for one (21EA) placed on 2/17 arrived today...
POST NUBILA PHOEBUS / AFTER CLOUDS, SUN
Love for Music / Collector of Dreck
Yes, me too.
A wholesaler told me that orders of 99 have been shipping 89 in one box and 10 in a separate box.
My boxes of 22 weighed 7.3 pounds packed, so that's probably about right.
99 x 4.5 = 445.5 ounces
445.5/16=27.84 lbs.
Yup!
Of course, the big boxes could hold far more than 89, but they need to leave lots of extra room so they can slide around and get damaged during shipment.
That's how they shipped 99 of my 2020 ASE's. 89 in one box, 10 in another.
They are the same size box..
