with over 1,100 listings on these, 400 will not hold up, too many desperate sellers willing to sell for less, this has always been a problem on e bay
I think demand for these will remain strong. I think we have to let the early flipping play out. No one has seen one or has one in hand yet. We will see a more true price when they start delivering them. I think they should be selling for at least $500.
Also, we will need to see how many are getting PF70 grades. What if there is errors?

Not necessarily bots today. Do we know how many were actually available? Was it 5 or 500? Did the mint flush out all the duplicate orders yet or bad cards and addresses?

Unknown. It was available in the blink of an eye. Possibly faster than humanly possible to get. Coulda been one customer buying all or a few buying one....hard to guess. Your question is a good one, how many were actually available?

Unlikely one buying many due to the time it takes to change quantity of the cart which had to be at most 1. My guess is there were not many today. There will be more and I have noticed they come in waves although unpredictable as to when.
That is awesome. I did next day air as well. Hope my two coin mails out soon

can't wait to see them in a velvet fiber covered plastic holder!
I purchased prior year empty OGP to get clamshells for the Type 2 gold and silver proofs that I am keeping for my collection.
They fit in the boxes when you take the plastic holder out.

I will when I get home, but not sure if I need to keep them in OGP to get the early release grade.
Thank you. I think you can open them but don’t until others weigh in please. I am not sure. Just thought I read it some where. This is a big forum 😉
Only the coins need to be mailed to PCGS within the first 30 days of of issue.
OR Submit the coins in the original unopened shipping box from the U.S. Mint with a postmark date prior to the specified PCGS cutoff date.
If the PCGS cutoff date is past but your mint box is within the 30 day cutoff, you must keep the item in the originally sealed US Mint box and send it to PCGS. Place the mint sealed box in another box and send it to PCGS to qualify for First Strike.
There is an additional $18 Fee per coin for the First Strike Designation.
Rules maybe changed? I sent in the 2011 25th anniversary set still in sealed box that I bought from BST and got first strike…sent it last February. Maybe they have a forever cutoff date for that issue? Then I sent in some type 2’s and one S and got a call from PCGS that only the S was eligible for first strike even though all were in unopened boxes. Still waiting on grades for those.

Assuming you mean 1:20pm on release day? They were up for a split second this morning.
does anyone ever actually score one when they pop up for a split second after release day? I mean score one, not just load it to the bag.

Yes, it was documented this morning that someone "scored one".
If you're talking about the coins that went on sale yesterday, it is way to early to say one was scored (received) on the next day. "Processing" with a next day purchase means very little to a coin that likely sold out on the first day. Wake me when this coin was purchased on the second day or later and was actually received from the mint.

All the BS bickering aside. Buyers for the big boys have gobbled up all the BIN's on Ebay that were $350 or below. Now they are gobbling up all the $ 350 - $400 BIN's. Your minimum asking price at this point should be $450. It will go higher and probably much higher.

I usually charge for this info but no one ever pays me 🤪. The trick is to have it in your bag already then the next morning log in and click on your bag and go into check out page. It will tell you you have an invalid item and remove it DON’T. Click PayPal as your payment and you immediately drop to the place order section. That’s where you sit and wait for 6:30am. There is a line of red text above the place where you click to agree to terms telling you you have an invalid item in your cart. Focus on that don’t waste time scrolling to the top of the page to see if the invalid red box disappeared. Keep refreshing and when that red line of text disappears the item is available all you do is click agree to terms and place order. I did that this morning and got the small processing order box crossed my fingers and never went through they were gone. Two clicks not fast enough this morning but if we get a morning of even 5 seconds I can get it through.
Yes a good deal of the jackassery is from flyovers.

Many of you are constantly bashing the mint. Keep in mind Congress directs the mint to produce and distribute all the coinage. The US mint through the order signed by former President Trump late last year had this Morgan & Peace dollar production run thrown at them.
The Morgan and Peace dollars add up to 1,075,000 alone. Add on the silver and gold eagles and then account for the rest of their annual junk.
The mint took notice of the uneven distribution with initial Morgan release and immediately took measures to help customers.
Many of you complained that were shut out and then complain that it takes 30 mins plus to fill an order when measures are in place to allow a more even distribution. The mint is not Amazon nor should they invest in software to facilitate the tens of thousands of customers that clobber the ordering platform a small number of times throughout the year.
The mint is doing a great job at locating material, production, filling orders, and distributing this junk you all are chasing.

Dear Mr. Mint employee,
I don’t complain about anything you are talking about. My big complaint is if you did not plan to ship to October why sell in May ? We will find out but I think there is going to be problems with expired payment approvals. Ship in October sell in October ain’t brain surgery 🧠
I did get one this morning. My better half did not (she didn't even see it flip). No idea how many were available. Maybe living on Maui where only a small percentage of people are awake at 1:30 am HST helps. All tips to purchase were learned on this forum from people kind enough to spread the knowledge.

How do sets work for this when getting them graded. Can you send in multiple sets and ask them to group the 70s together?
you can tell them just to grade the 70's, not the 69's, but there is still a grading fee for the ones that don't make 70
I don't think I can knowing I'm sending it to get graded, but I need to check if their requirements are in the OGP, otherwise yes I will
I will when I get home, but not sure if I need to keep them in OGP to get the early release grade.
