Wasn't June a little late for 08 rev 07 ship dates?

Did anyone around here report the 08rev07 from any Mint shipments dated in June 2008? If not, I think a note is due to this seller:

On Ebay a sealed box of five Z8f Silver Eagles

This seller dangles a "possible rev 07 early ship date 6/11/08" and "Early shipping date 6/11/08 the time these started showing up!" in the subtitle and body. Last I know, around here we didn't see any ship dates after mid-May that held the 08rev07. And June 11 is a long 2 1/2 months after John Nanney's showed up!

Makes me a bit sick to think $180 is being bid for 5 Z8F's that most likely DO NOT have a single mule among them.

My last hits were from multiple orders placed on 4/30, shipped 5/8...My otherorders 5/1...& 5-8 were duds...IIRC, not much coming after these dates...and certainly not the time they started showing up...

With the US Mint distributor, I believe its always been a "First In Last Out" scenario and I do recall someone reporting getting 2008/07 SAE's as late as November/December of last year.

That is only $50 over what the coins were selling for from the mint.

True that. Also, I guess the word "early" for "June 11" could be construed as being early relative to the end of 2008 or whenever they stopped shipping, instead of early relating to April or the 1st week of May when "possible rev 07" for ship dates was a big possibility.

Then based on what Lee said, then maybe $50 over original retail is a reasonable gamble! I sure hope the bidders know what we know if they bid more than that!

I guess Lee's example of an outlier (how cool would it have been to get one in November or December!) is enough to say this outrageous claim is "possible".
