    3100 is not as sweet as 3000.

  • e-mail should start rolling in any time now

  • << <i>e-mail should start rolling in any time now >>



    LMAO

    This is just so pathetic.

    If anybody asks what I've been doing these last few evenings, I hope I can count on most everybody here to lie for me.

    I got a call back from Gloria @ the real mint. She says my order 30836XXX is in warehouse and should nship either Friday or Monday.

  • Is there some obscure federal holiday being celebrated today that I am not privy?!?

  • My coin was delivered today. 30831XXX 12:48 1/22

    I'm glad I sold it on eBay. I was not impressed.

  • UPS tracking says( In Transit). tomorrow is going to be a long day knowing it will be sitting on my front porch. My wife will be home at 1:30 or 2:00. So she will hopefully call me and tell me it is there.

    imron,, I hope to wake up in the morning to see you have the elusive e-mail.. good luck and good night

    LOL - I sooooooo know what you mean. I teach statistics at a Wisconsin College and I give them all a big long break in the middle of class just to check this thread. In fact, I just let them out about 5 minutes ago and here I am!!! Very rediculous - almost indefensibly crazy!

    Ill bet most of the orders at the 1300+ price get cancelled. The way gold is falling....800 is an ez target and it could go lower. I do wonder if the US mint themselves are partly responsible for the runup in price on gold. After all, they are consuming several TONS of gold making this thing. Ill wait.

    The nubers are 202-354-7500, and 202-354-7890 is the number she called me back on. She was real helpful and apologetic. I oredered 2 coins , and received the one I ordered on the 2nd day, and am still waiting for the 1st hour. Gloria says shes aware of the problems with FIFO. She was able to check with the warehouse on my coin, and says it should mail before the weekend.
  • To the folks who have not rec'd their coin yet:

    I've been trying to take pictures of mine but wrong angles and wrong light but I will tell you it was worth the wait. It's truly an amazing coin. My girlfriend and a friend of mine were at my place when I opened the box and both of them, who are not into what we are, we truly captivated and amazed at the coin and presentation. They could not take their eyes off of it!

    All of you need to hang in there, your's is on the way!!

    in terms of the world's gold supply and demand being an ocean, this UHR is but a drop in the bucket. and gold won't go much below 700 if it even goes below 800.

    EDIT: short term pricing that is. and the upside is just as much if not more.

    I want to know what the statistical probability is of this happening to a statistics class.

    I already reported him, both on the phone to ebay and via the ebay site. Buying for .01 and leaving a neg is a great idea!!!

    As a seller, he can only leave me positive feedback. This type of auction has been up before and I sent him a letter "suggesting" that those who do not agree with his message may leave him negative feedback. That auction came down in record time - it was a buy it now for $1.00 and I almost pulled the trigger but he took it down pretty fast.

    no more neg's for buyers, but feedback policy essentially makes most feedback not related to the transaction or product improper and the author could be smacked for not following policy (, too).

    yes, but he can leave you a neg feed as a buyer of one of your auctions. well, maybe you're not selling on ebay. i don't know. i just know that it don't pay to run to trouble. i'm just tryin to be helpful and hopin none of us get caught up in this feeding frenzy. Notice that all the people that got their UHR are now docile and those of us who haven't are crazed lunatics! LOL

    I thought there was going to be a cool custom acrylic capsule for easy viewing of this coin.

    What I see is a very standard looking capsule. It's a little thicker than your typical issue, to hold the thicker coin.

    Not quite what I had imagined.



  • Wow!

    This place is dead.

    Most people must have already gotten theirs.

    And many people still waiting on theirs have given up the nocturnal wait.

    Did agentjim, baron, rgcoin, and smokincoin get their UHR?
