After talking to a few other live people, some have indicated the resealing appears independent of the tape over the label, which is believed to hide or protect viewing the contents during shipping.
My 10 sets came today as well. The mint shipped them for free. (I had another order that came last week) My 10 came loose in a brown box. each set is in a white envelope that is sealed.
I am going to sit on mine as well. The value is in the fact that they are sealed. IMO
I was pretty much tuned out of this thread until I saw the SOLD OUT notice. Then I immediately went to the Mint site and placed two orders, one for 99 and one for ten.
Lucky me -- and thanks guys! -- my orders have already shipped within the few days since my order. What am I going to get? It sounds like I'll get ten loose white boxes in one shipment and 99 loose boxes in the other.
Is there any chance I'll get a sealed box within a shipment, containing, say, fifty covers? Is there any resale benefit to keeping a *quantity* of covers sealed within a single shipping box?
It seems that all have to do to maximize resale is keep the individual covers sealed within their individual white boxes. Is this also required for TPG submissions?
I personallly don't see any significance for the box number unless a TPG is willing to label it as First Box Released on the label, which I highly doubt. These are all individually sealed in a white cardboard envelope with a pull tab to open. But good luck to all who have such boxes and sell them as unopened.
<< <i>I personallly don't see any significance for the box number unless a TPG is willing to label it as First Box Released on the label, which I highly doubt. >>
My guess is that you can get NGC to do it if you have the right connections. They've done similar inserts before.
<< <i>It seems that all have to do to maximize resale is keep the individual covers sealed within their individual white boxes. Is this also required for TPG submissions? >>
NGC will take them as long as the platic wrap around the cover is intact. I'm not sure what PCGS's requirements are, as they haven't addressed their treatment of this Cover very clearly.

<< <i>PCGS Revises Guidance For First Day of Issue Presidential Dollars
Revised April 19, 2007
The first coin of the new Presidential Dollar series (the Washington $1) was released on February 15, 2007. Special First Day of Issue inserts are available for Presidential Dollar coins through the PCGS Bulk Submissions program, under the following options.
1/. Official Release Date. Coins delivered to PCGS on the first official day of their release or sent in sealed packages postmarked on that date.
2/. Mint-sealed Boxes. Coins housed in original, mint-sealed boxes with a white seal bearing the name of the President (i.e. "PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON") and the official release date (i.e. "DO NOT BREAK SEAL UNTIL FEB. 15"). Such boxes must also contain the date stamp of the Mint inspector (see below). The same rules will apply to future Presidential Dollars unless the Mint makes changes in their packaging and sealing.
3/. U.S. Mint Official American Presidency $1 Coin Cover Series. These are First Day of Issue Covers sold by the U.S. Mint, each containing two coins (one from Philadelphia, one from Denver), both from the first day of production. The holder is stamped and postmarked on the official first day of issue (see below). Coins will be removed from the holder and graded separately. The original shipping boxes need not be sealed, but the covers must be submitted intact and unopened. A minimum of 50 covers may be submitted through the Bulk Submissions program. PCGS is currently developing an option for encapsulating the entire cover. PCGS does not offer a First Day of Mintage (or Production) option. First Day of Issue inserts are only available through the PCGS Bulk Submissions program. Each order must contain a minimum of 100 coins (or 50 First Day of Issue Covers). All bulk orders should be submitted directly to the PCGS offices and will not be accepted at shows. If you have any questions about submitting bulk coins, please contact the Bulk Department at (949) 567-1216.
PCGS Guidance is based on the best information available at the time the guidance is developed. PCGS, at their discretion, may adjust guidance as new information becomes available. >>

You got it right. The Mint placed packing tape over their label in order to ship it. I removed the packing tape and can see the label. So there are 50 loose covers in this box. The one I have is a box of 50 #rd 901/1000
"First Day of Issue inserts are only available through the PCGS Bulk Submissions program. Each order must contain a minimum of 100 coins (or 50 First Day of Issue Covers)."
At least this puts to rest one of our concerns.

<< <i>PCGS does not offer a First Day of Mintage (or Production) option
That is unfortunate. Mine go to NGC >>
No point in spending $15 for the coin cover to submit and get the same FDI designation you can get from bank rolls when they come out. Guess we will have to wait and see what option to encapsulate the whole cover PCGS will offer.
Never teach a pig to sing. You'll waste your time and annoy the pig
I think maybe what was meant was that they placed up language that said max orders placed, will continue to take order in event of cancellations, he ordered, someone cancelled he got in, if that's what you were referring to.

this just a thought on my part but these coin covers are first day of production which would be first strikes. these may grade higher than the rolled coins. a D mint ms67 just sold on ebay for $3,900 as there are only 3 existing right now. some people want to take the chance to get that ms68. cheers
<< <i>this just a thought on my part but these coin covers are first day of production which would be first strikes. >>
It's possible that GW$ FDCC coins do not qualify as First Strikes under the currently published PCGS definition. From the Lingo page:
<< <i>Beginning in 2004, PCGS began designating coins delivered by the U.S. Mint in the 30 day period following the initial sales date of a new product as "First Strike". For instance, new American Silver Eagles typically go on sale each January 1st, thus any coins delivered between January 1 and January 31 qualify for the First Strike (TM) designation. >>
FDCCs were delivered by the US Mint more than 30 days after the initial delivery of business strikes to the general public.
If you want to consider the FDCCs a separate product from the business strikes then you have to use the FDCC initial delivery date, not the GW$ initial delivery date.
Sealed mint boxes I do not think will have any premium. The white SEALED envelope they come in is sturdy and protects the cover very well from any reasonable handling.
I think they will sell briefly in the 40+ range maybe peak around $50. That is when I will sell by 3 boxes.
I opened a box of 10 tonight. I will sell 2 ea. to 2 friends at U S Mint issue price. I want to see how NGC does the coin covers so I am sending in 5 to them. That leaves 1 coin cover I opened to look at.
I think the Mint did a great job with these covers.
The coins in the 6 sets I opened look terrible. Just like the rolls.
Is it correct that for the NGC cover's, we get to cherry pickem, just req'd to leave them in shink wrap? Lastly it is only 25 total for each cover under Modern Tier, correct?
this white cardboard cover with the zipper on it is really a mailer isn't it? Would it be acceptable to just stick an address label on it and mail it? Is that how people are mailng these single item sales? Or do they need to be packaged in something else? Just a thought.

It would probably be acceptable to most people, but there'd probably be a few who complain and/or neg (particularly if you are selling a lot of them--there are always a few bad apples). I'm just putting them inside 9x12 manila envelopes ($9 for 150 at Sam's), then folding the excess width over and taping it (essentially folding it in half, lengthwise).
I heard they were making a French version of Medal of Honor. I wonder how many hotkeys it'll have for "surrender."

There is no zipper on the cardboard sleeve, it will need to be packaged. A 11" x 8" bubble mailer is perfect for the FDCC's
"Bongo drive 1984 Lincoln that looks like old coin dug from ground."
A quick look at the bay shows that the number of items for sale has jumped from 80 at a time for the past several days to 120. The price seems to be rising towards 30 and the lowest BIN is $28
Looking good.

Thanks for the advice Bill. I went to the mint site and checked again so I could call in order numbers and they had all changed status. 4 orders of 50 had changed to "in process" again and 2 orders say "ship on 5/4". I think I'm ok.

My initial plan was to immediately flip (within the 30 day return period) the majority of the covers I bought, but I’m beginning to rethink that strategy. Here’s the reason:
All of the other recent “hot issues” were shipped in bits and pieces…this is the first time the entire production basically shipped all at the same time. Therefore, the “quick flippers” could all be “quick flipping” at the same time, leading to a temporary supply/demand imbalance vis-à-vis the REAL supply/demand equilibrium. This theory doesn’t not imply a softening of price…it could and very well probably will exist in a rising price environment.
BUT, if the theory is correct, the prices will not be rising as fast as they would have had the entire supply not been shipped at the same time. This would imply that once the supply from the “quick flippers” is exhausted, the assent in price will be more rapid than we are accustomed to in the issues that are released piecemeal.

you know... i was thinking the same thing... glad to hear someone else saying this... i have a bunch and was planning a strategy... I was going to hit the initail wave this weekend with x amount... feel it out and then hit the 2nd wave (higher hopefully)... feel it out... it the price softens I would hold off for a while and see what happens... but hopefully i would at least cover the initial outlay from the first 2 waves and not be too worried after that for the rest.

They did the same thing to our 873/1000 box. It appears that if you order 50 at a time, they can come taped over & a shipping label on the 50box or 50 loose in a larger box. The orders over 50 appear to have a 50box + loose ones.

The Mint used to ship the state quarter FDCs individually in those white zipper cartons. I have quite a few including 15 NJ and 15 PAs received the same day.
IMO too many Washington FDCs were bought by too small a number of buyers who might panic at any time.

Many in this thread already panicked, and cancelled their orders, even after all the "success" was announced.
As for the white zipperflats--if anyone is leaving theirs intact, for whatever reason, you should assume your buyers want them the same way.

May 1 Washington Official First Day Coin Cover
I hope all 24 that you have left are the same quality.
I opened one of 10 to give the weekend to grandson,and was shocked at how beat up they are.
Denver had 4 deep ticks on Washington Bust(Philly about same but not as deep)....reverse 2,...strike week.....rough sanded like areas on reverse.
Ticks were so deep that stricking two circulated dollars together hard with hands did not produce anything near as deep.
