<< <i>Don't they process orders sequentially by Order Number? It doesn't appear that is the case. Can anyone shed some light on this? >>
Nope. They haven't for years, or at least since PBGS took over fulfillment. Thse are being processed very similar to how the UHRs were a couple years ago. Here's how my five orders have been processed so far:
Order 1: In Process first Order 2: In Process third Order 3: still on hold Order 4: still on hold Order 5: In process second
Anyone else thinking of sending these in Secure Plus??? Sure, the cost of grading goes from $14 to $20 per coin, but it would differentiate your coins upon resale and Secure Plus coins now come with free high-resolution images... Hard to find a professional photographer to image and edit such images of your coins for only $6 per coin, especially outside of the slab

Basically, but I think having a decent image of the exact coin you're selling may be worthwhile, especially if you get a 70. People still love to look at those trueviews of the UHR coins, even though those all look the same.

wonder if your coin that might have gotten a 70 on modern submission is more susceptible to a 69+ under secure plus?

They used to only do trueviews for free on coins they wanted for CoinFacts... but looking at the news story #2 on the PCGS homepage, they now say it is included for ALL Secure Plus submissions.
Since the no mint mark bullion coin was struck in San Francisco, do you suppose the PCGS label will have "Struck at San Francisco" on it for this coin as it did on the ones released earlier in the year?
The 25th Anniversary Silver Eagle Set will contain the following coins: 2011 Proof Silver Eagle (W mint mark) 2011 Uncirculated Silver Eagle (W mint mark) 2011 Uncirculated Silver Eagle (S mint mark) 2011 Reverse Proof Silver Eagle (P mint mark) 2011 Silver Eagle bullion coin (no mint mark, but struck at the San Francisco Mint)

Secure Plus Modern Tier is now $20. And supposedly that price includes the complimentary high-resolution image of each coin according to the recent new release on the PCGS home page. I don't see why they wouldn't put 25th anniversary set on the label, but I'm not sure if you can do First Strike through Secure Plus, not sure I've seen that before.
If I slabbed these 5 sets it would take around $850. I could sell the raw sets on eBay for around $3750; $2250 profit. So in order to flip slabbed coins for more then raw, I'd need to sell them for $4600 ($1500 cost plus $850 slab fee + 2250 in raw flip profit).
The question being, can I really make more then $184 a coin in these sets?
2011 Proof Silver Eagle (W mint mark) - $70 (current eBay average) *5 =350 2011 Uncirculated Silver Eagle (W mint mark) - $60 (current eBay average) *6 =300 2011 Uncirculated Silver Eagle (S mint mark) - $60 (current eBay average) *6 =300 2011 Reverse Proof Silver Eagle (P mint mark) - ? *5 2011 Silver Eagle bullion coin (no mint mark, but struck at the San Francisco Mint) - ? *5
The final two would have to sell for more than $365 each to make more then flipping raw.
Can I expect that the two new Eagles will flip in a 69 state for more than $365? Or that rolling the dice to try and get some 70's will make up the difference?

I agree the $500 level makes sense. The short term hype and holiday season may keep it spiked higher for a few months, but then it will level off. I picked up a 2005 issue of Coinage and the prices for 3 of the regular ASE proofs were listed at:
92S $185 93S $215 94S $190
I was in my LCS the other day and all were just under $100. I think this set will send the 20th anniversary set down in value. Off course who knows if silver keeps going up.
Manos... the grading fees for 5 sets (25 coins) isn't likely going to be $850.
If PCGS only permits the FS designation for the 2 key coins (10 coins total) then your total price to grade would be around $575.
If you choose to ignore the FS designation altogether and just have them graded, your total price to grade would be around $400.
Moreover, you're assuming that the 3 non-key coins from these sets will sell for the same price that the coins already sell for on eBay, giving no premium to the 25th anniversary set you'd get on these coins... I'd bet there will be some premium.
Anyone having trouble with the Mint's website? For me it has been down for hours now.
First post here, new collector/investor. This is my first Mint purchase.
I think First Strike, Early release based on what I've read here is total B$. Only way to kill it off is to boycott it, which is my intent. Hell, investors should demand to pay LESS for them so the collecting universe can get rid of it. The TPG's are just trying to corner the market with all this garbage. If one can't tell a 69 from a 70, what's the point? Simply leave it up to some god ordained with the power to make their friends wealthy? And the cost, good grief. $18 just to put FS on it, what's with that? For an extra 11 characters of typing on a label? As others have said, not FS, but (F)irst (G)raded. GET THEM IN TO US IN THE FIRST 30 DAYS. Call in the next 15 minutes, sales are limited!!!
I'd considered having them graded at a show or something (never been to one). Now NGC says they won't do it. Hmmmm....seems rather fishy to me.
I don't know, put 'em in a safe place and see what happens down the road a few years.
My own view is these will trade considerably higher, and find a home somewhere between the 95W, and about $500. $1500 a set does not seem unreasonable. I don't intend to sell, or grade. I'll leave that to the insiders.
Good luck to all!

I have been thinking along the same lines, the problem I would have if I got 2 70s out of the bunch, I would not be able to part with them. I am better off selling unopened , keep one set, mail it off and hope for a 70, and be happy with my 69s.

I may just sit on all mine, unopened. I rushed to get the UHR graded and sold. Now I wish I would have kept it or at least waited.

Nope. They haven't for years, or at least since PBGS took over fulfillment. Thse are being processed very similar to how the UHRs were a couple years ago. Here's how my five orders have been processed so far:
Order 1: In Process first Order 2: In Process third Order 3: still on hold Order 4: still on hold Order 5: In process second
How's that for processing in FIFO order???
<They don't ship FIFO either.
Joe >
If they don't process orders on a FIFO basis, does that mean they don't accept orders on a first-come, first-served sequential basis either? Or, can I safely assume that if some others are seeing their higher numbers that are already in process, that my number will also be processed at some point?
I've been ordering from the Mint for almost 50 years and still can't figure them out.
Q: Are You Printing Money? Bernanke: Not Literally
I would call to see if they are having issues with card..... something like this happened when UHRs came. found out they were trying to charge the card I had on my account then the one I placed order with.

I am sending my coins in for grading at PCGS and am trying to figure the cost.
I only want the 25th anniversary label.
Can I send in under modern for $14 a coin?
At that figure of $350 + $8 handling fee + $29.95 for return shipping = $387.95.
Or do I have to send in under economy at $18 or regular at $30?

5 sets ordered....just went in process this afternoon.
<< <i>If I slabbed these 5 sets it would take around $850. I could sell the raw sets on eBay for around $3750; $2250 profit. So in order to flip slabbed coins for more then raw, I'd need to sell them for $4600 ($1500 cost plus $850 slab fee + 2250 in raw flip profit).
The question being, can I really make more then $184 a coin in these sets?
2011 Proof Silver Eagle (W mint mark) - $70 (current eBay average) *5 =350
2011 Uncirculated Silver Eagle (W mint mark) - $60 (current eBay average) *6 =300
2011 Uncirculated Silver Eagle (S mint mark) - $60 (current eBay average) *6 =300
2011 Reverse Proof Silver Eagle (P mint mark) - ? *5
2011 Silver Eagle bullion coin (no mint mark, but struck at the San Francisco Mint) - ? *5
The final two would have to sell for more than $365 each to make more then flipping raw.
Can I expect that the two new Eagles will flip in a 69 state for more than $365? Or that rolling the dice to
try and get some 70's will make up the difference? >>
I have been thinking along the same lines, the problem I would have if I got 2 70s out of the bunch, I would not be able to part with them. I am better off selling unopened , keep one set, mail it off and hope for a 70, and be happy with my 69s.
<< <i>comma you may get your set sooner than other with the free upgrade according to below, found this on the mint's website. 2-3 business days >>

I may just sit on all mine, unopened. I rushed to get the UHR graded and sold. Now I wish I would have kept it or at least waited.

Why? I did too. They're worth the same as when I was one of the first to sell a 70 on Ebay.

Worth the same? One just sold for about $5,000 and if i remember right, I got around $2,500 for my UHR FS MS70.

Thanks for fixing the link!
Nope. They haven't for years, or at least since PBGS took over fulfillment. Thse are being processed very similar to how the UHRs were a couple years ago. Here's how my five orders have been processed so far:
Order 1: In Process first
Order 2: In Process third
Order 3: still on hold
Order 4: still on hold
Order 5: In process second
How's that for processing in FIFO order???
<They don't ship FIFO either.
Joe >
If they don't process orders on a FIFO basis, does that mean they don't accept orders on a first-come, first-served sequential basis either? Or, can I safely assume that if some others are seeing their higher numbers that are already in process, that my number will also be processed at some point?
I've been ordering from the Mint for almost 50 years and still can't figure them out.
I knew it would happen.
something like this happened when UHRs came. found out they were trying to charge the card I had on my account then the one I placed order with.
