You are the one with the auction dude!

Any idea when they minted up the Satin Finish coins? I would suspect that it was way after March/April when the 2008/078 coins were showing up. Not only that but the Sacajawea did not even get authorized for production until Feb 29th 2008! I seriously doubt that the production lines had been geared up to even produce these in Satin Finsh until after April.
I cannot say that a certain allotment was NOT set aside from the initial production run of SAE's but to matter of factly state that the dollar sets were packaged at the same time as the error SAE's were coming out is very misleading!
Sheesh.
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

don't give so quick..I have a 150 sets coming next week..
Here's something that folks have not discussed on this thread just yet!
The dates that the 2007 reverses were used in the production of the SAE Variety? Folks are just assuming that these were the first off the presses but they might not have been as many hundreds of dies are used to produce these.

Andrew Dice? Wow, I always wondered what happened to that skid row comic. All funning aside, you would get the same reception if you were selling some Arizona quarter bags "with the possibility of an error ASE inside, they to were packaged around the same time, in the middle of the year 2008. The listing looks like a duck...Just be sure not to complain once those negs come rollin in.

DICE21 This is an upstanding board with numismatists and coin collectors that are on the top of their field. You will learn a lot here and see varying points of view. But one thing that the majority here in the boards strive to do is be on the forefront of their particular field/s of coin collecting ....for example... some seller(not you) selling a fake coin on Ebay that someone on this board recognizes as a fake ...most likely that seller will be contacted and asked if he/she realizes that what they are selling is a fake and if they could correctly state this fact in their auction or take it down so as not to hurt the unsuspecting public. Believe me a lot of people have been spared with a lot of grief because of this..Same deal with claims about coin related issues that are not yet proven as a fact is discussed in these boards. Its a forum where everybody's views differ but in the end we sort of all agree to be upfront in our dealings with regards to this great hobby of ours...Coins Again
<< <i> You are the one with the auction dude! Why don't YOU put YOUR written verification in the auction that there were and then I'll shutup! Until then you are the one that is stating "THESE SETS were packaged around that time............." >>
You read my mind!
Esssentially Dice21 uses a fallacious argument, "Burden Of Proof": the claim that whatever has not yet been proved false must be true (or vice versa).
Dice21 is a CROOK and a SCAM ARTIST, as this is the tactic used to sell shotgun rolls of cents where one side has a 1909S date showing and the other side has a VDB reverse. We know the result. It always ends up with a buyer who bids an auction up on a false hope.
That's right. False hope. That is a scam by my definition and I would suspect that most folks feel that preying on false hope is crooked behavior.
Dice21 wants "written proof" from us or the auction listings stay where they are with a bunch of vague language designed to prey on the unwary. Defensive. Also typical of someone who has a moral compass pointing in the wrong direction.
Dice21 could probably do better if the Mint wasn't still selling these items. But these auctions appeal to the Terribly Stupid who would not otherwise realize that they can get the exact same product from the mint. Dice21 however has a value add. False Hope!
Here is my proof that Dice21 is preying on folks by using False Hope. If there were ANY chance that the reverse was in those packages, Dice21 would open up those packages and realize the real reward of a 08/07rev.
But no, Dice21 is essentially selling raffle tickets for a Great Prize!!! But that Great Prize is actually a Dead Mule. In the raffle-for-a-dead-mule, the crook only has to deal with one disappointed winner. Let us hope that all of Dice21's buyers become disillusioned with the fluff and puffery and leave Negatives or return the item for Significantly Not As Described.
Thank you CU forum for allowing me to vent! That was awesome!
To me,these kinds of sellers are low lifes,preying on the suckers that don't know any better.These sets have zero chance of having an error in them.If by chance one is found,then i will eat crow,until then,i stand by what i said. >>
Well we may think it is a long shot to find an 07/08 in an annual set but there are certainly worse auctions on Ebay. Heck I've already posted I took a chance and bought 10 from the mint.

Will post my results as soon the sets have been checked.
I ordered 3 sets that are now in my closet still sealed in the box and will stay that way for my grandson to have the enjoyment of opening them long after i am dirt.

Hopefully you'll have also left him a note as well explaining what to look for and what they actually are, otherwise, its just 5 nice looking dollar coins and a shiney whatever.
Given all the unattributed stuff I have, me leaving it to my kids is totally pointless unless I tell them what it is they have inherited.
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
Received my order a few minutes ago and opened 2 sets. Both are 08/08 on the W Eagle. The coins look nice in the sets that I opened and as I stated in a prior post, I am keeping them.
I'm starting to have doubts that any 08/07s are in these sets, but it will be interesting to keep watching this post to see is a forum memeber finds one.
Happy hunting to those who are!

I think First Strike and Early Release should be discontinued all together until someone can really prove that they are first off the presses. To me,it's just the same as wondering if your old coin is a Chinese fake.

To qualify for the First Strike® insert, all submissions must be received by PCGS or sent in a mint-sealed package postmarked within 30 days of the original release date (see the PCGS website at www.pcgs.com/customer_service_update.chtml for deadline dates).

<< <i>I think First Strike and Early Release should be discontinued all together until someone can really prove that they are first off the presses. To me,it's just the same as wondering if your old coin is a Chinese fake. >>
Just don't repeat that in any "other" thread it'll be selectively poofed...
