Up through eight of ten....ALL Reverse of 2007! I will think, with Jesse's assistance, hopefully, of how to offer the giveaway of one (Reverse of 2007) 2008-W Silver Eagle!!
did each coin magazine do an article on this already? most every dealer must know about it by now... but do all the active collectors who read bboards, magazines, and goto shows?
if yes, i am curious to see what happens next. those who want one are actively seeking them out, thus prices have been going up or stable.
but once the hard core people have one will the other folks find interest in them? will prices remain stable or slowly go up or sink a bit?
I have checked and re-checked because I can't believe this....am I missing something, is this the right year. Here goes..number nine is also the Reverse! Maybe I won't look at number ten and that one will remain in the box for a mystery peek one year from today?
Ten for Ten! I will come up with a format for the giveaway and post very soon. What you do with the Reverse of 2007 (if won or found) is up to you! For me, I will do a drawing! Thank you all for your input and keen eyes.
Just want to publicly thank Jeff aka Stckplunge on his giveaway for his 100th post on This thread last Thurs.. Whiskerchew a newbie won but there was a random second prize drawing and i won a 2008 ASE w/08 reverse. I know everyone knows what that coin looks like so i just want to let Stckplunge know that the coin is safe and sound guarded by : Darth Stewie of Family guy as Darth Vader complete with his laser sword.
My 4 orders that went zilch were ordered on April 30th, shipped May 5th, arrived today May 12th. (11) coins total 2008/2008. It should be noted that one box looked like it had been thrown off a building as the coins were poped out of their holders and rolling around loose in the box out of the plastic air tights. That's right, loose coins!
I have (10) more orders out that I don't expect anything out of

Miles- That's how I felt opening my 8 for 8 the other day (order date 4/30). Every one was 07/08 so I started checking them again to make sure I was actually getting the 07 reverse and not the 08! Congrats!
I ordered 2 boxes of 5 coins each on 5/3 and 1 box of 5 on 5/5.I received all 3 boxes on 5/10.I found zilch in the 2 boxes ordered on 5/3,but i did find 1 rev.07 in the box of 5 that was orered on 5/5.All 3 boxes looked like they where pilphered thru.Coins where not secure in the box,they where all over the place loose.

One of my 3 small orders (5/4/5) has been given to DHL for snail mail delivery (order 5/8)....We'll see if there are any left. The other orders were 5/9 and 5/10 so they should follow soon
I'll report in soon as well, have several small orders on the way, the last 3 orders of 10 each from April 30th yielded 9/10, 1/10 and 2/10, and 1 order of 10 from 5/1 yielded 2/12. Gonna help out quite a bit between baby formula and the gas I figure I'll break even...
I saw lots of "almost reverse proofs", but I am not playing around with these due to no Mintage Cap for ASE Burnished.
These Coins were Ordered 05-04 thru 05-08-2008 arrived this morning and yesterday:
Ordered 50 units - 0/50 Ordered 50 units - 0/50 Ordered 100 units - 0/100 Ordered 14 units - 0/14 Ordered 15 units - 0/15 Ordered 30 units - 0/30 Ordered 30 units - 0/30

Were they all flawed or are just abusing the US Mint return policy??
Just out of mere curiosity, I called Gainesville Coins. All they have in their inventory for the '08/'07 W SAE is NGC 70's brown label for $475 at this time. They say they may get more in on Wednesday or Thursday but not sure of what they may be at this time. He also didn't know pricing as these are volatile in nature.
"What we are never changes, but who we are ... never stops changing."
how does one translate the "Tracking number(s)" given by the Mint into a DHL Trackable number?..
i placed an order on 03 May, 2008.. the Mint charged me, and shipped them on 08 May, 2007, and sent me an email with the following two numbers:
Tracking ID
2956293583532xxxx 910210549961520978xxxx
(the "x"s are just my blocking the last four numbers)..
on my Mint account's order history page, it only shows the second "9xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" number followed by "Parcel post -1"
I punched that number into the USPS' site and it tells me:
Current Track & Confirm e-mail information provided by the U.S. Postal Service.
Label Number: 0210 5499 6152 0978 xxxx
Service Type: Delivery Confirmation - Package Services/Standard Parcels
Shipment Activity Location Date & Time -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arrived Shipping Partner Facility HEBRON KY 41048 05/09/08 9:04am Arrived Shipping --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so that third number is some mutation of the Mint's 9xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx number..
what is the 2956xxxxxxxxxxxxx number?..
now someone else posted something about "if you remove the leading letter you can punch it into dhl.com and find out where it really is" or words to that effect.. but there IS no leading letter.. all of these numbers are.. uh.. nothing but numbers.. and DHL.com doesn't recognize any of them - "Invalid Tracking number" it barfs back at me..
so all i know is the Mint shipped it, and it arrived in Kentucky four days ago and after that.. who knows where it is..
this is not a Registered Mail order, it's not an Expedited shipping order, it's an El Cheapo [tm] order for two coins..
is there some way to manipulate those numbers to get status information out of DHL.. or do i just sit and wait?.. because all i can figure out is that it's somewhere between Kentucky and So. Calif. i left my rocket scientist degree in my other party dress..
Thanks Harv

nothing i try on the dhl.com page two postings above this works.. all three different numbers copied and pasted from the Mint's order Tracking page, OR their email, OR the number i get from the USPS site when i click the number on the Mint's order history page result in DHL telling me:
The following Tracking Number(s) are not valid: # 910210549961520978xxxx and the same message for the other two numbers..
whether i try them with spaces, without spaces, one at a time, all three at once, or any combination you can think of.. i'm just gonna take a chill pill and give up.. either the mailman brings the package, or he doesn't.. probably normal 2008-W coins in it anyway and i'm getting myself all prepared for a nice let-down.. or i'll go to whatever gubmint agency is in charge of names and change my name to "Miles"..

Shoulda made smaller orders Coinboy...seems to be the secret to success!
The steps are as follows: [1] Click on the link provided by the mint on their tracking page. [2] This will direct you to the USPS site (which will give you a message saying "no info - etc" [3] This same USPS page will also have an alphanumeric Hddddddddddd (where d are a few digits.) [4] Highlight and copy only the digits and put them in the DHL tracking page. [5] Status - Voila! (pardon my french)
On the mint site, on your track order page, you should have something like this....
Tracking Number(s): H8946953xxxx PARCEL POST-1
If you do, just copy and paste this H8946953xxxx on the dhl site I gave you......good luck >>
my Tracking number starts with a "9".. there's no leading "H" or any other letter.. apparently that's why it's not working on DHL's Tracking page.. so i thought i'd try to outsmart it and ADD an "H" in front of the 9.. that didn't work either and a huge Monty Python foot came out of the sky and squished me for bein' a wise-guy..
Thanks Harv or i guess in this case.. arv or, hopefully, Miles V2.0

I will think, with Jesse's assistance, hopefully, of how to offer the giveaway of one (Reverse of 2007) 2008-W Silver Eagle!!
Miles
Congrats!!!
Just Keep it!
or , if I may be so bold, donate it to something worth-while, like to Make a Wish, but not to these Board Pirates! ;>
I bought an NGC 2006 W UNC $100 MS69 Plat real cheap, cracked it out made a MS70 at PCGS donated 1/2 my profit to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
most every dealer must know about it by now... but do all the active
collectors who read bboards, magazines, and goto shows?
if yes, i am curious to see what happens next. those who want one
are actively seeking them out, thus prices have been going up or
stable.
but once the hard core people have one will the other folks find interest in them? will prices remain stable or slowly go up or sink a bit?
Maybe I won't look at number ten and that one will remain in the box for a mystery peek one year from today?
Miles
Anyone get coins today with latter ship dates??
I will come up with a format for the giveaway and post very soon. What you do with the Reverse of 2007 (if won or found) is up to you!

Both 5/8 orders were first listed as "backordered" with an expected mailing date of 5/24 but they quickly went to status of "in stock and reserved"
next year the mint will announce a special commemorative release limited production of 500k 08/07 ASE W for $25.95
