    Seems the Mint forgot the last rule.

    'Send coins to customers.'

    AP's take orders, create lists and accept money just fine. It's that last part the AP's have difficulty with, actually sending the coins. They just can't let them go.

    Mine is identical except that my estimated ship date was 4-20-11. Guess what, that label has been printed and waiting to ship for a week.

    I wonder if they are waiting for some of those new $1250 ATB purchases of thiers to arrive before sending out our shipments. This way they have a two way trail for fufilling thier USMINT obligations and the MS69DMPL coins will mysteriously be left behind at thier Vault A, B or C. In the mean time our orders will be filled with all the recent banged up bullion they are buying.

    The apmex issue has been discussed a few times over the last few days, in this thread.
    It is a known thing and isn't a big issue.

    Is it really that difficult to coordinate the shipping schedule with actual time frames? I don't think the apmex sets are going to ship until approx May 13th...But why then suggest otherwise with boilerplate emails and order status expected ship dates which are outta wack...etc...

    << <i>Dear ModernCoinMart/ JMRC Customer,

    The United States Mint is offering a product for $279.95 with a limit of one per person, per household on Thursday April 28th at noon at their website. Here is the link that describes the product:

    We are in need of several hundred of these, and as we have done in the past are willing to pay a premium for you and your friends and family to buy them for us. We will pay $330 each for the first 400 commitments we receive. We will also add another $25 for USPS express mail shipping and insurance so that you can overnight the coin to us when it arrives. If you are interested in this opportunity, please respond to britta@moderncoinmart.com and she will then email you step by step instructions.

    Throughout the year opportunities like this present themselves and sometimes you can make a quick and easy profit. We've been doing this now for years with no problems; it is straightforward and backed by our longstanding reputation. We remember those that help us on the smaller purchases like this when the larger and more profitable opportunities come along.

    Best Regards,

    John Maben
    CEO, JMRC/ ModernCoinMart

    I am okay with MCM doing this but I have a question...why doesn't the e-mail state the actual product? The product is obvious but is not directly mentioned, or was it maybe stated in the subject line of the e-mails?

    I saw a little discussion about when Apmex said they are buying sets, but I figured that didn't affect the coins I was getting because mine are shipping on the 26th.

    Guess I was blind, but now I see.

    And it IS a BIG issue.

    true.


    auto generated e-mail.


    they said "may 13th" so I'd suggest being patient until then. If they do ship earlier than that, then consider it a gift.

    No, it actually is NOT a big issue. You are seeing it as one, but if you go back and read what was already written about this, you may understand and know it isn't a big issue.
    Unless you are trying to time a flip (I have no idea if that is the case), then I don't see how it is an issue at all.

    As MsMorrisine states, the shipping notice is auto-generated but they were very upfront from the start and stated mid-May for shipping (May 13th). If you have concerns, then why not do what I did? I emailed them then decided it would be easier/quicker just to call. I did that and had a pleasant conversation that explained things. Within the next day or so, I also had the same answer, worded slightly differently, in email.

    They don't read the boards/thread, and I have always found it is easiest to talk to the source rather than get all upset on a message board image

    I got the same call today.

    Shipping to be $65 and I will be contacted by the shipper in 2 weeks.

    The coins are being held in sealed boxes presently.

    No hi-jinks there I am thinking.

    From ATS:

    ""Miles Franklin sent an email to past customers. I guess it's an email presale.
    You can try calling them at 877-375-1365.
    10 coin minimum (5 of each or 10 of 1)
    Price locked in at spot +$6.79. They have 200 of each and expect to ship after my check clears.

    Only two coins available. The mint is not distributing the 5 coin set like they did 2010""

    This is for the non-numismatic version, Glacier and Gettysburg. Shipped 10 per roll, your choice of mix, no max.

    I ordered a set from Amark as I was impressed last time. I think the other AP's will have similar pricing. And it will be slabbed PCGS BU FS. (email said PCGS or NGC, but order page specifies PCGS). Order 38xx.

    I just broke down and opened my Jack Hunt box.

    Contents:

    Yosemite MS69 PL

    Yellowstone MS68 DMPL

    Hot Springs MS68 DMPL-

    Mount Hood MS68 PL

    Grand Canyon MS68

    Hoped for better but overall it is still a great deal. Not one report of a 69DMPL. image

    Agreed Amark did a great job. I still need to send mine in for grading.

    Speaking of grading one of my Amarks, did anyone else get the what looks like an ant encapsulated? I read somewhere someone else did too but cannot find the post.

    These prices should help the 2010 issue.

    I mean 125,000 mintage puck going for $300.

    I would think a 33,000 mintage puck goes for more.

    On a side note, I'll pay $300 each if the 2011's are ms69dmpl's. image

    Another couple of considerations for buying the Amark set.

    1. Who knows when the other AP's will put their sets on sale. Silver could be $5 higher by then, which translates to a $125 increase in price.
    2. I don't think Amark cherrypicked the 2010's or will the 2011's.
    3. Payment via Paypal (credit card)

    Curious why Amark is limiting to 1 set per house again... or at least the order form only lets you get one.
  • Options
    I got a phone call yesterday from a bullion dealer. It is one of the big ones, but not one of the nine AP. He offered me one Gettysburg and one Glacier for about $588. He is sending me some information so I'll report later.

    I'm not buying anything at those prices. They are all nuts!

    The First Strike des. is a small added bonus as well if the coins are worth regrading.

    Still, that price hurts, especially when it looks like we'll be getting Hot Springs--with a much lower minatage-- at ~$56/oz.

    I still think it will be better to get a roll of 10 .... I only want 3 but I am sure I can get someone to buy the other 7....I just don't like the idea of non coin people handling my coins...maybe they will cherrypick, maybe not...but their grubby bullion selling fingers will be all over them..

    Any takers on the other 7?? I will ship free in airtite Z5's.....(PM if interested)

    I will find the cheapest dealer and come up with a price
