Well, not quite yet. But when it does, how many of you are going to cancel your order?

<< <i>Why would you want to cancel your order on a sell out ? >>
I didn't place an order, but if I had, why would I want to sell it. A sellout would merit a rise in price on the secondary market.
(Just think of city streets clogged with a hundred thousand horses each generating 15 lbs of manure every day...)

Some folks are speculating that the mint’s advertised 30,000 units cannot possibly be achieved, and were ordering assuming that the actual production is considerably less. Some 22,000+ orders were placed today. Assuming that most of these are for the platinum set, will these people get skittish and bail out of their orders if it appears that the mint will actually ship 30,000 sets?
Lastly I can afford to buy 2 sets today, but I don't know why. It must be the rush of being a new coin collector. Yaha (Farewell and Goodnight)

Like your thread title that would be false advertising.
Not all the orders placed after 12 noon EST today were necessarily for the 10th Anniv. Set. Many folks are simply buying more ordinary stuff for the holidays.
Who wants to buy platinum when you can buy State Quarter spoons instead?

Not meant to be funny … I am curious how many flippers are going to bail out of this one. I predict that this set will set a new Mint record – for number of returns for refunds.
Its amazing how many people read the title and jump in with a response, without reading the first post.

Perhaps they assume the thread content is related to the thread title. Wouldn't that be special?
Thanks for the assistance in this matter.
<< <i>i got a sealed box sitting on my roll top desk, collecting dust. I wont return it for anything. I would sell it, I have never sent anything in for grading. It maybe fun and worth it to send it to PCGS. $75 over issue is nice but I would rather chance a 69-70 and maybe get alittle more of a return. What do you guys thing I should do with my first mint buy, first plat., and first possible sub?
Thanks for the assistance in this matter.
If the eartly pop reports are any indication, a 70 won't be all that hard to come by at least in the Reverse Proof. Out of 6 coins graded by PCGS only 1 69 which was a Proof. Of course 3 sets is still not enough to develop a trend but IMO it would be well worth to spend the $100 and have the set graded. You never know, and by having the set graded by PCGS with the First StrikeSM you are assured of receiving top dollar for your set if you receive at least one of the two coins in a 70.
