Does this mean that you have received communication that a set has been set aside for you?
I have received no communication. >>
My check was cashed about the same time. I called last Thursday and was told the coins went to the vault this past Friday. Called again today and was told the same thing but not provided shipping information. Those MTB guys arent exactly the most friendly on the phone.

I would try calling them again anyway.Thats what I did and lo and behold they had shipped and gave me a tracking number which I never recieved thru my email.Got my set today and my check had cleared on the 5th.They hold checks for 21 days after they clear.

My check cleared on the 13th. I haven't heard anything from them since 1/5 when they received my order and asked for a check.
sbeverly, you asked this question yesterday (page 370) and I replied with (page 371). This thread moves so fast it is not easy to find posts and answers.
The MTB policy was a 17 day hold for personal checks. That is exactly what they did with mine.

I remember the post but not the reply. Also, I wasn't sure if it was it business days, or total days. If you have received a tracking number it looks like total days.
Congrats...

I believe the long term demand for these will surprise a lot of people. I think at around $1500, if they do get they get there, will be the spot to pick these up on the after market.jmho
I got my AMark set today - really excited until I opened the box. I like the size and weight, but the designs are just OK. I think I'm going to sell my set and put the profits towards filling holes in my barber half set. I'll probably only get the Alaska 5 ozer when it comes out.
The kilo pucks would probably be more fun for the purchase price - now there's size and weight!!

I've seen many pics and also very descriptive info on some pucks rec'd
However, most who think they have MS69, probably only will make 67 or 68
Excessive die polishing lines that haze even one side will keep a coin from going PL.
They will also keep a coin from going 69.
Just because a coin is "shiny" doesnt mean it's PL - most TPG's require a certain depth of the mirrors, at least 4 inches where you can " clearly ", I emphasize " clearly ", be able to see and read at that distance while peering into them.
I can't speculate on what others may have received from A-Mark but all 10 of the of the ones I examined were Superb Gem quality and Proof Like. Everyone knows that the main difference in the final grade is whether you have NGC grade them or PCGS.
I thought this whole thing was was going to be a nightmare before the actual coins began to dribble into the market. I really expected a Hockey Puck type gross looking round but was amazed and delighted at what eventually was delivered. Sure there were people who paid stupid money for these at first. There always is. These have turned out to be a pleasant surprise. You can pick away at them and forecast prices in the cellar and even the AP's not being able to unload them but if that is the case I believe you grossly under estimate this issue.
Again, this JMHO but I have been around the block a few times.
we will be at 1500 or less for an amark set within days
they are selling in the 1700's and edgeing lower now into the 1600's
boys - the goose is cooked.
I agree, I just received my Amark set today...not bad IMO, I think we are now down to what label is going to sell for the biggest bang as far as the Amark coins, 1. a "Choice BU"
or 2. a ms66-67-68 or even a PL
whether or not the grades are correct makes no difference at this point...they are paying for the label....JMO
Just placed an order and it went through at Amark. Order 30XX just 5 minutes ago. There is a server error on their site but just click on the ATB link on the upper right and it takes you to the order page.
Thanks for the links... was able to load up a set also.
But... I still wonder about a computer glitch on Amarks side.... in other words.... do they really have more sets, or has their order site been activated by accident? Regardless... will see what happens... missed out on the first go around so at least this is a second chance.

Less than friendly I would say. I have only called once and got no information but a lecture not to worry about it
and, how busy they were.
I personally don't care if they are friendly or not, but It would be good business if they could just provide some info.

BTW no email or anything that they shipped. The MTB coins come in the same large airtites that APMEX shipped in.
Another week of waiting
<< <i>Thanks, My MTB set is currently sitting in Lexington, KY, United States. Shipped via UPS Ground. Scheduled delivery of Tuesday, 02/08/2011.

You'll get no competition from me!

In addition to the charge to grade.
I dont recall what it is now, but the cheap one is around $99?
<< <i>By the way, do all the newbies know that you actually need a MEMBERSHIP with PCGS to resubmit these coins.

- OR -
Resubmit via a PCGS dealer. Are you kidding me? PCGS requires a membership to re-submit?

<< <i>...but was amazed and delighted at what eventually was delivered. >>
Me too. My A-Mark pieces are first rate in every respect. Very glad I got them!
I have no idea where the prices of these will settle but am sure it will be above A-Mark's price I paid.
With no other AP's selling in the near future, I expect these to stabilize and then trend up as people realize no others are coming to market.
just placed went right through ...
