I agree with Kimber..... The regs limit each AP to selling one per household. It was not directed at the public but was a wrist slap at the AP's. If the Mint wanted to control public limits they would have been sold from one source (ummm the Mint?)

Everyone talking about Mint rules and regs to the AP but I believe the one per HH rule is an arbitrary rule imposed on the AP's that has no precedent. There may be some legal violation of the agreement with the AP's on that. By breaking that rule the AP's may be challenging the Mint on the legality of that requirement. Then again, the Mint may hold the right to change rules anytime it wants.
Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.
<< <i>I could be wrong, and I often am on legal matters, but I think the mint's one per HH limit is to the AP's selling, not the public buying. I believe the public can buy one set from each AP that is selling them, so an individual could wind up with 9 sets total.

You're correct. The Mint cannot regulate how many sets each household purchase as long as each set is from a different AP, meaning each individual can end up with 9 sets in the long run. As of right now, only 1 company has shipped the coins. Several of the AP's have yet to develop a sales plan, meaning the 3,000+ allotment that they ended up with is currently not publicly available...which is further pushing the prices. It's tough to say whether it's better to "wait and see" however...who knows where the values will settle on these.

Another comment that I have to make :
This forum is a COIN forum which encompasses both collectors, dealers and occasional sellers. Just because you fit into the collector mode does not make YOU the elite of the group.
I have recently retired and, by necessity, have been slowly transitioning from a collector to a seller and I, for the life of me, can't understand why I (or anyone else) should be called out for selling one set of coins at a ridiculous price that someone was willing to pay .
Those intent on protecting me from myself and my plan to pay an outrageous $1395 per set have kept me from that goal.
The only one keeping you from your goal is you, and the blame for the price belongs to the Authorized Dealer network who are violating their agreements with the Mint in order to scam the public for triple and four times what they should be selling them for. Nobody was protecting you from anything, they were rightly protesting an illicit scheme.
You can't have your cake and eat it too by claiming that you wanted two sets, obtaining one, and then ending up with none. That's self-contradictory. Either you wanted a set to keep, or you didn't.

IMO - the AP network may have served it's purpose back in 1986 thru the 1990's.
The USM has the means to sell their bullion on their own.
What's one more product? Im not saying that they should sell 100 thousand increments on eagles, but offer the collector ASE's by the roll and AGE's by the singles.

In review (again) I wanted 2 sets:
1 to sell....check

Not contradictory...that would have been correct if I got TWO sets and sold both OR kept both
Even if I kept the set I still wouldn't have the 2nd set to sell....sounds simple to me but that's just me I guess
Well we're down to the last few hours before the "everyman's" sale begin!

Only 4 complaining "forum activists"? More power to them! Without the few complaining, "a few" greedy, gouging APs would have walked off with an easy mega-profit they didn't deserve. To those continuing to speak out, "THANK YOU" Contracts and following the law should apply to the "BIG BOYS'" just like it does to the rest of us.
If everybody turned a blind eye everytime someone breaks the rules... this country of ours and the Ideals it stands for will not be here today. Its certainly not aimed at impressing anybody.
<< <i>If everybody turned a blind eye everytime someone breaks the rules... this country of ours and the Ideals it stands for will not be here today. Its certainly not aimed at impressing anybody. >>
Unfortunately this is just the opposite. The AP's are following the letter of the law - not the spirit. This will lead to more laws and loopholes will be found and so on and so on. You cannot write a law for every possible scenario and no law is crystal clear. Look how many different scenarios have been thrown out on this thread to explain the sets HSN obtained? A motivated buyer and a willing seller will get around a G9 every day of the week...
Reminds me of a line in the book by Camus, The Plague, "Good intentions can do as much harm as malevolence unless you have the utmost clear-sightedness".-------------BigE
Maybe they're following the letter of the law but I truly doubt they are dotting all their i's and crossing all their T's. I do believe their greed will catch up with them if a full and complete audit is done. If nothing else they will at least lose the goose giving them the golden egg. To me they have truly destroyed the whole noble idea of Americas National Parks. The Parks were established so the common man could enjoy this country's beautiful places, and so they couldn't belong to simply the rich and to those that would exploit them for personal gain. I assure you if Teddy Roosevelt were around there'd be some heads rolling right about now. How ironic it all is. I for one will make my phone calls tomorrow.
For those that are compuetr savvy you can set up a shell script that will notify your email when the ATB coins become available at APMEX. Im not sure how to do it since i had a friend add me to his alert script but it will be useful for those that do not have an alert me at APMEX that is early enough (since alerts are first in, first out)
If anyone can set up a shell script you will be ahead of the game even if your alert at APMEX does not go off due to limited alerts going out
So...other than waiting in the cold in the Gold Center's parking lot...do we expect any of the othert APs to begin selling today...like APMEX...on Monday, 1/3?
<< <i>So...other than waiting in the cold in the Gold Center's parking lot...do we expect any of the othert APs to begin selling today...like APMEX...on Monday, 1/3? >>
Maybe Provident Metals. Earlier, I was able to get to their website. Now I can't even get a connection.

<< <i>I called apmex...they say the same as always...."we don't have them for sale right now, just wait on the 'alert me'" >>
The problem with the alert me feature is that it is a first in, first out basis so if there is only 500 sets available then there will be only 500 alerts sent to the first 500 people, hence the reason why some people never got the alerts the first time around.
This is the reason why I have set up a shell script so that when the page gets updated the script automatically sends me an email stating of the changes.

Unfortunately, Provident isn't an AP. If they do happen to offer the Pucks, expect to pay much higher prices as they will have acquired their supply from an AP.

Of course, this makes the assumption that APMEX will sell you a set if you're not on their alert list regardless of when you learn they're on sale...and at this point, nothing would surprise me!

The alert me feature is not a reservation so anyone who happens to browse the website wether they set up the alert or not at the time of offering they will honor it. The alert me feature is just a notice that it is available

Those intent on protecting me from myself and my plan to pay an outrageous $1395 per set have kept me from that goal.
I listened again to those more in the know than I am that the market would tank after the other 32000 hit the market
Wrong again...those sets are already hitting the market and the price is significantly higher
I still need my set to keep.....
very few sets have hit the market.
200 from HSN? a couple hundred? from CV.....
nowhere near the 32,600 left (remember APMEX only sold to 380 individuals, adjusting the 1000 sets down to less than 400)
what has happened is a constriction of supply.......therefore prices have risen dramatically.
we are not wrong,
you are just impatient.
these sets will settle at around 2x issue is my guess.

This forum is a COIN forum which encompasses both collectors, dealers and occasional sellers. Just because you fit into the collector mode does not make YOU the elite of the group.
I have recently retired and, by necessity, have been slowly transitioning from a collector to a seller and I, for the life of me, can't understand why I (or anyone else) should be called out for selling one set of coins at a ridiculous price that someone was willing to pay .
given silver sits in the 25-35 range, a price for raw sets in the 1800 range seems appropriate.
once the focus shifts to the numismatic version, and grading that version (will grade higher than bullion), this will be old news.
The only one keeping you from your goal is you, and the blame for the price belongs to the Authorized Dealer network who are violating their agreements with the Mint in order to scam the public for triple and four times what they should be selling them for. Nobody was protecting you from anything, they were rightly protesting an illicit scheme.
