Don't forget this eBay Auction from early January. Coins n Things apparently sold one of their boxes and are now keeping the coins in airtites, bubble wrap bags, something else... or they sold them.
That is really hard to believe, but I know it is true. I didn't get below 68 on my submission and didn't think 3 of the 5 were anything special. There was a 63PL at NGC. It seems like for a time NGC was grading really hard, and now have maybe eased up. I haven't seen many low grades from PCGS though, on eBay at least.

I wonder where CNT and Jack Hunt's coins went. It wasn't to this flipper, that's for sure. Oh apmex too, don't forget about how crappy apmex is. It'll come out eventually though, someone's always flip flapping those lips. A dealer or grader or some employee. Doesn't really matter though, they could have sold all of their coins for 3k to one big fish flipper and there would be no consequences from the mint.
I wonder when APMEX will just remove the ATB listing and move on. It seems pretty obvious they have probably gone out the back door. They have lost a lot of credibility here on this forum. Pretty poor business decision but I guess they are just betting people have short memories.

I agree about APMEX. Too bad no one has a connection there to point them to this thread (well, at least the pertinent comments about them). Also, it appears that the only ones who defend APMEX, and how they handled this, are the folks who got them from the higher price....they refuse to see the whole picture as to how they have handled it and only focus on a small subset that included them and their making a higher profit.
Do you think they really care. They sell more gold and silver in one hour than all these atb coins put together. These coins are just a nuisance to them at this point. It could come back to haunt them though when and if the mint makes more of these than silver eagles.
<< <i>Do you think they really care. They sell more gold and silver in one hour than all these atb coins put together. These coins are just a nuisance to them at this point. It could come back to haunt them though when and if the mint makes more of these than silver eagles. >>
That is why I would think they would just move on. Dragging this thing out for months is ridiculous. I got my set from AMARK weeks ago and don't really care about flipping them. I did sign up on the APMEX list...whatever that means. I don't think I would even bother with APMEX now even if they were professional enough to send me a message concerning them. I might be small potatoes to them I suppose but they won't be seeing any of my business for a while. Those small potatoes add up to quite a lot after a few years.
WOW…What a ride.. I have read EVERY post on this thread, daily. For the first time, I “pre-sold” several sets on eBay, between $2700 and $2100. Needless to say, I learned my lesson about preselling. I’ll never do that again. My hard earned eBay 100% feedback is now 94%. Anyway, I have something else to share. I had one buyer that sent me a check instead of paying through PayPal. After the 30 day deadline for shipping pre-sales had passed, he was real cool with everything. But he did want them to NGC for ER GEM BU labeling. I agreed to send them there if they arrived in time. Lo and Behold, I received his set from Fidelitrade on Friday, Feb 11. I didn’t even open it. I spent $200 to join NGC, and set the set sealed to them the same day, via USPS Express Mail. I communicated this to the buyer, and then we waited. Yesterday, I received notice from NGC that his coins had shipped back to me. Upon checking the order, I was….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………. I called the buyer, and gave him the bad news: NGC did not label the set as GUM BU. Instead they assigned numeric grades. The good news….there were four MS69 and one MS67! YEP! Four out of five were MS 69! And this is from an unopened Fedilitrade, shipped first to my brother in TN, then to me in FL, and then to NGC. Needless to say, the buyer was ecstatic! Back to lurking…… FloridaBill
Ride indeed. These ATBs have been a circus from the beginning, and just as as soon as you think things are leveling out, another wrench gets thrown in the system.
Sorry to hear about your ebay problems. Hopefully you can bring that rating up a bit...
The crazy thing is that there are still APs left to sell, Numismatic releases on the way, and then on to the 2011s!

Finally called prudential my set was sent out the 25 she told me should have this week before I leave for california which is really good. I too have trouble grasping the details from 7/8 and i will be sending all mine into pcgs. There is just no reasoning to get 8 62's and 2 61's .

Great BST experiences: abitofthisabitofthat, silvercoinsdude, gerard, coinfame, mikescoins, wondercoin
Well I actually got my set from prudential today and all I can say is what the ......... packaging? They just put them in some soft holders and than put tape around the whole thing so coins could not fall out, only problem is the tape stuck to the edges on some. Very sad indeed. Also I did buy some of those airtite holders and it sure seems to me the coins do not sit in them right. Oh well this was my one set to send in and now I am even wondering what to do.
"This PL thing is just a scam. If it was PL before, why wasn't it graded as PL ?? This just reaks of quota's. Either the graders are clueless and didn't recognize PL, OR, the grader said they were PL and Management said NO, we aren't designating any as PL. ?!?!?! So what gives?"
Goldbuffalo - Your post I believe is unjustified. There are many designations BOTH grading services do not recognize even to this day, but I would love to see recognized (perhaps the subject of another thread?) and some that NGC did recognize, but not PCGS. My letter to PCGS was intended to ask PCGS to reconsider its position on the "PL" designation for various modern coins. Plain and simple.

Do I have the right to be a little upset and demand a partial refund from PCGS???
I submitted 2 orders 1. A single coin, Modern service (20-30 days...no rush) 2. 15 ATB coins, Express Service (5 day service....wanted them asap)
Well, they were all delivered to PCGS 2/14, weren't "received" until 2/16. The single coin Modern (20-30 days) was delivered to me this past Friday, however, I still haven't heard anything about my ATB sets (5 day service....ok the FS gives them 3-5 days, but they were already FS so???
So, should I be happy that I got my modern back so fast, or upset because its been 2 weeks and I haven't seen anything?
You HAVE tried calling customer service to see if there are issues, right? I mean, that should be the first step before posting on the forum as no one here (unless DW enters this blackhole of a thread) has any power to help you...

They will not give you a partial refund. You will just have to wait patiently and will get them shortly. I know you are anxious but unless you are going to sell them there is no hurry. Maybe they are being held up because they are DMPL designated.

<< <i>I am sending my 5 PCGS choice coins in for numeric grading today. They all look highly mirrored to me and I don't see any imperfections on
them so they should grade well. >>
I took them to the PO. They will have them tomorrow morning. I am in no hurry to get them back because I intend to keep them for now but I
wanted to get them there in a hurry so they could get them in process.
<< <i>BigE,
One of my friends bought a set for me but he handled them with his bare hands before I could get them. They look like a nice set and I want to send into PCGS for grading. Is there anything I should do before sending to PCGS?
Thanks,
BC >>
BC, I would invite him to BBQ and spit in his burger if he is bigger than you, if not do something physical
Seriously, acetone wont hurt, would stop/inhibit a print showing up -------BigE
I submitted 2 orders
1. A single coin, Modern service (20-30 days...no rush)
2. 15 ATB coins, Express Service (5 day service....wanted them asap)
Well, they were all delivered to PCGS 2/14, weren't "received" until 2/16. The single coin Modern (20-30 days) was delivered to me this past Friday, however, I still haven't heard anything about my ATB sets (5 day service....ok the FS gives them 3-5 days, but they were already FS so???
So, should I be happy that I got my modern back so fast, or upset because its been 2 weeks and I haven't seen anything?

You HAVE tried calling customer service to see if there are issues, right?
I mean, that should be the first step before posting on the forum as no one here (unless DW enters this blackhole of a thread) has any power to help you...
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

They will not give you a partial refund. You will just have to wait patiently and will get them shortly. I know you are anxious but unless you are going to sell them there is no hurry. Maybe they are being held up because they are DMPL designated.
<< <i>if you browse through the shared orders, it strongly appears that ATB Puck grading has been on hold for a week or more. >>
Maybe they done all puckered-out gradin' them ATB's!
