it'll cost $30 for regular $50 for express (no need to pay for First strike if sending the A-Marks because it'll be a "regrade")
Oh my, you totally missed it. The market crashed on these and we're now into the 'who can bend the puck into a taco bare-handed without pucking it up' contest. Youtube entries only.

<< <i>Not feeling the love from A-Mark...order #4xx, and e-mailed a couple hours ago about status of my order. Received the following back:
"Your order has not been shipped yet. You will receive an email with a tracking number once it has."
Lots of good that does me! If it matters to anyone who may have figured out a system here, the shipping address I entered was not the same as my PayPal address and was a street address. >>
From what i understood from them - any PayPal order that is still "Pending" will be worked on one by one... (to fix the issues - non confirmed addresses, different shipping vs billing, restricted PayPal accounts etc.) and seems like will be taken care of after the PayPal "Completed" orders are shipped. >>
I messed up my zip code in the A-mark on-line sale thrash. In paypal, at that time my incorrect zip showed for the ship to address. I called the 310 319 0388 number the next day, humbly explained how I screwed up, the gal changed the A-mark zip info and my papal ship to address updated the next day to the correct zip. My order shipped today.
Call the number! Amark is west coast, I think they'll answer that number until 6p their time. >>
I had a similar problem. I got a call from AMark telling me I had put a different addy on their shipping line than I had for PP. Tried to clear it up by calling back and they said "I think those have been worked out" without asking me any specifics about my account. Oh well, I'll get it when I get it. When I see the order canceled on PP I'll be worried.

Noticed one set of paper weights for sale earlier today at the Suburban Detroit Commercial Coin Show in Livonia Michigan. The five coins were in plain round plastic holders, and seemed not to have any conspicuous faults. When I inquired, out of a freely expressed curiosity, with no intention of buying, the dealer said he was asking $2500. If anyone pulled out a wad of cash, they probably could have obtained the set for quite a bit less. The show is on tomorrow, Friday, from 10 to 6, and then again for most of the day on Saturday.
<< <i>Yes, I spoke with PCGS earlier today, and they verified that since these will be a regrade of FS coins, you wont have to pay for keeping them FS. >>
That's fantastic! If mine look good they will be going to PCGS for sure then. I figured we'd have to pay an extra $18 to keep the FS designation on them.

Second, I just love this from p.62 under the section "Policy Violations?": "Coin World contacted the Mint for comment on the situation. Gordon Hume, the Mint's deputy director of public affairs, stated, "The United States Mint has no evidence that the Authorized Purchasers are violating the terms and conditions of the program."
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE??? HOW INCOMPETENT can they be??? HOW many folks have emailed/called/faxed info regarding GC bulk sales?? Just amazing. Only the Govt.

I dunno...I'm not surprised. They don't have any hard evidence in hand--that would require an audit. They're being careful to avoid libelous statements, probably. Pretty lame fed-talk BS statement though. Maybe the subtle wink to the reporter didn't make it to print.

Yeah I was one of those who spent some time sending in articles. I even copied my receipt to show that he was charging 975 and not writting down any sales tax. All he wrote was 975, talked to the state people and they told me last week there going to take a look. In the last CW article he stated he would not do these anymore so I thought that meant the mint shut him down, guess not. As far as ampex goes, that guy was pissed at us for shutting his price gouging down, and this is just his childish way of showing it. He can hold out to the last ap's sell and its not going to bother him, plus if anyone is cherrypicking, its going to be them. I hope the others sell before ampex starts, by than i will be done buying and can skip them. Also agree about alot of people reading this thread, maybe we need a secret thread password. lol have a great day all.....................

This was two different replies I received from one inquiry yesterday.
"There is no problem with your order; however FedEx does not ship to P.O. boxes. We will ship your coin set via US Postal Service."
"They are not being shipped in order number. Your order has not been shipped yet, you will receive an email confirmation when it has."

Yup, quite a story. At most I'd say there were 250 people total, he claimed 500. At most 12 manpower people got booted outta line, he claimed 60...Nonsense. If you look at the CW pic, on the left side were 50 people, sets 1-50. To the right of the driveway were starting #'s 51 through the end. Thus, I stick by my estimate of at most 250 sets sold out the front, 2,750 sold out the back...Oh Ya, wonder where all the cherries came from...Hmmmm...

But it would have been fun to see. So Whats the grade of your yellowstone? did you submit a whole set? Mine will be on there way today and will know in a week and a half. Good luck to everyone whos sending them back

<< <i>Been off-line for a couple of days, no time to catch up now but...
I just read the cover story in CW with the pic of the line at GC where the only actual "public" who got coins from him waited. It kills me how he is always portrayed in a positive light by CW and NN - such the victim, just trying to sell to the public -when he is clearly the worst of the APs in terms of bulk sale violations to date.
Second, I just love this from p.62 under the section "Policy Violations?": "Coin World contacted the Mint for comment on the situation. Gordon Hume, the Mint's deputy director of public affairs, stated, "The United States Mint has no evidence that the Authorized Purchasers are violating the terms and conditions of the program."
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE??? HOW INCOMPETENT can they be??? HOW many folks have emailed/called/faxed info regarding GC bulk sales?? Just amazing. Only the Govt. >>
The government sees ONLY what it WANTS to see.
I used the same shipping address as my PP address (not a PO Box) so that may help.
Got the shipping notices on the 26th, but I have no idea when its comming : (

Yep - I, too, sent an email. But "Money Talks, Bullsh** Walks" I guess.

Send an email to A-Mark requesting your tracking #, that's how I got mine. Use the following email address:
efren@amark.com
<< <i>For those getting them ship to a PO Box has anyone received tracking info...my order was within the first 100 placed and I still havent received shipping info >>
No.
This was two different replies I received from one inquiry yesterday.
"There is no problem with your order; however FedEx does not ship to P.O. boxes. We will ship your coin set via US Postal Service."
"They are not being shipped in order number. Your order has not been shipped yet, you will receive an email confirmation when it has."

Clearly, Hausman is a staunch defender of capitalism and is yet another poor individual who is being victimized by the government. Yeah, right. This whole fiasco stinks to High Heaven. >>
Yup, quite a story. At most I'd say there were 250 people total, he claimed 500. At most 12 manpower people got booted outta line, he claimed 60...Nonsense.
If you look at the CW pic, on the left side were 50 people, sets 1-50. To the right of the driveway were starting #'s 51 through the end. Thus, I stick by my estimate of at most 250 sets sold out the front, 2,750 sold out the back...Oh Ya, wonder where all the cherries came from...Hmmmm...
<< <i>I just got my graded coin of Yellowstone back from PCGS. All I can say as far as the size of the thing is OMG! Can't imagine the NGC. >>
