    Mine comes Tommorow. Already in the air. Hope some of the new guys stay on the forums and it is not just seagulls. Was not politics per se but bashing gov employees beyond the mint that I take issue with, as if mint customer service are actually GS…

    …..now back to our regularly scheduled program. Where was I? Ah yes! @Peyroguy nice ASE set. Thanks for the pictures. Good luck on the grades! You may need to repost here since the original thread got whacked.

    I had AIR on my order, but after so many refreshes, I ended up with free shipping... I pray to God they don't mail it. Our post office made national news for not delivering for weeks during covid, and they've barely improved.
    I can go a full work week without receiving so much as a random price of junk mail.
    I wish you could set up your default shipping type like you can your address.

    I hear you. Problem with the default road is potential monkey business.

    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 had one arrive about 20 minutes ago and it's seems the Mint got a bit tape happy!
    Anyone else's arrive today with the back flap and side seams taped up?

    Looks abit like the one i just got, better shake it and press on it, that tape is on top of the label, might not be done by the mint.

    I wonder if our hosts would accept a taped up box like that - after the 30 day window - for 1st strike designation!

    I agree with you comment that someone got happy with the tape gun dispenser!

    looks like it was opened after originally packed, then resealed.

    If you intend on first strike, i wouldn't hold that one, I would open it and send it in postmarked before the 30 days.

    Was it the numbered COAs where people were allegedly resealing boxes and listing them as unopened?

    Stepped away to make dinner, I'm back.

    I was thinking the same thing about looking like it's been opened. The only positive I see is the tape is the same as the back flap tape which I'm almost sure the Mint put on. I wasn't going to open it just yet but I'm reconsidering that decision.

    Have you opened yours? Weight feels fine and it has passed the shake test. :D

    I gobbled up 15 sets in the 290-325 price range. Lots of best offer haggling with a lot of sellers all at once. Ebay's Bids/Offers page in My Ebay is the cat's meow.

    Thanks thats the first good look at the type 2 reverse. I would like to see one like the type 1. I know that type 2 has that flash but still looking dull. Maybe rotate it just a little. The type 1 jumps off the page I just want to see the type 2 flashing and popping off the page. Thanks those are better. I believe we have some very nice looking coins!

    Let the cancellations begin:

    "One or more items in your order USM11609550 has been cancelled. If you did not request a cancellation, it was cancelled because the item(s) are no longer in our inventory and are not available for backorder."

    This one was purchased at 1:20 pm day of the sale.

  • pointfivezeropointfivezero Posts: 1,804 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Same here....

  • pointfivezeropointfivezero Posts: 1,804 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Yes, in my case the order was confirmed. However, it was a double entry on my part in the heat of the battle trying to use a Gift Certificate so I was expecting it.

    Mine was1:14 est its still ok. I received a confirmation email. Did you? derryb this sucks. I I’m a Little guy but someday I may be able to buy 10-20 like you. I have zero envy of those who have worked hard to be able to purchase like you do. Your sharing is educational for me. I don’t think 50-100 kinda guy is me but maybe a 5-10 kinda guy.

    I hope it works out and no to anyone who thinks that because you have business involvement doesn’t mean you’re not a collector once in a while. So ya. The one you earned on release day may just be special to you. Good luck perhaps after coffee clatch at7:30 est you can give them a little hello😉

    My cancelled order was confirmed. The hit on the CC is the key that you will in fact receive your purchase. Until then, it's up in the air.

    My cancelled order number was USM11609550. I suspect any number higher than that will be cancelled.

    Let's post lower numbers that get cancelled.

    To be honest, @derryb, I had no idea what I had ordered until the dust settled. I thought a Mint Gift Certificate would be a free pass to avoid the credit card section but the system hung on the "Verify Balance" button, so I entered my credit card information. When I checked my account, I had two orders and received two confirmations. So I was expecting one to be cancelled.

    My cancelled order number was USM117245xx.

  • I wonder how many ebay seller's items got cancelled by us mint.

  • JimTylerJimTyler Posts: 3,359 ✭✭✭✭✭

    There should be none at 6:30 am. They should have filled good late orders out of any that become available via bad credit cards or more than one per household attempts.

  • Looks like usmint ship "Next Day Air" order first, I though it should be in order of first come first serve. My order# 11475xxx with "Budget Shipping", and still processing.
