    << <i>Wake me when they arrive. >>



    Exactly!
    Too much anxiety.
    Either we/those who ordered get them or not it is not the end of the world.
    Good health, family and friends are what is important.
    Good luck to all but relax.

  • Nice trend up in the last 12 hours on ebay. Now averaging about $650 a set. Is anyone drooling over the possiblilty of getting a 70 set back if you submit 5 sets.

    If that story is accurate, and the 2011 bullion coin included with the set was definitely minted in San Francisco, then shouldn't the grading companies be using "2011 (S)" on the labels for this coin???? I believe they did so with the other 2011 bullion coins that came from S.F. monster boxes.

    Sorry, that really didn't help much since your previous post wasn't clear on what information was "corrected"

    I understand that the coins being struck in Denver wasn't accurate, but are you also saying that they also weren't struck in San Francisco?

    Sorry, not going to read through 500+ comments in that article when most are just whining about not getting sets.



  • << <i>Nice trend up in the last 12 hours on ebay. Now averaging about $650 a set. Is anyone drooling over the possiblilty of getting a 70 set back if you submit 5 sets. >>



    Is $650.00 for sealed or unsealed sets?

    <<Is $650.00 for sealed or unsealed sets? >>

    Now...now...there may be a third option...hence the question if the Mint is still using flimsy sealing tape!!!

    Oh yeah you had to spill the beans. I know what exact brand of tape the Mint shippers use. :>

    << <i>When submitting to PCGS are you just submitting the keys of the set or the whole thing? >>





    I plan on sending 5 to 10 sets, to get the 25th label, maybe first strike on the 2 that can get it, not sure though.




    also my coworkers orders, at 9:56 pm Eastern is in process now, 5 orders of singles we'll see if that goes anywhere.

    It seems I had a few 2008W Gold Buffalo sets "In Process - Backordered" for several months before the Mint said, "Not Available." I don't think they even said, "Sorry."

  • I asked a couple of questions on the PCGS Blog today about grading, labels, etc. I received the following reply from Jaime Hernandez, PCGS Modern Coin Expert:

    "We should have more details by tomorrow and what labels we will be offering for these sets. Don Willis is having a meeting today specifically regarding these sets and he will try to give collectors the best options.

    So, please check our website tomorrow or check back on this blog and I will try to post updates as soon as I know about them.

    thanks, jaime"

    So, keep an eye out for submission details from PCGS in the next day or so.

  • Well, I don't believe it but mine just went into "Your order request is in process" and that is with an order number of 3838XXXX. Still crossing my fingers but it seems that even those of us who ordered late have a shot.

    Oh and btw I originally received my order confirmation from the mint on Thu, Oct 27, 2011 at 6:01 PM.
  • What I'm worried about is that after everyone flips their coins, the market will be set for a while. Those who wanted one got them. At that point demand will be way down and these coins prove to just be a bubble.

    Bubble markets being full of exuberance and high volumes with a sharp drop off.

    Another Mint Apology:

    Dear United States Mint Customers:

    We are fully aware of the difficulties many of you encountered last week with the release of the
    American Eagle 25th Anniversary Set. We would like you to know that we have undertaken an
    aggressive review of how we brought the product to market so we can better serve all of our
    customers in the future. Dick Peterson, the Deputy Director of the United States Mint, has also
    directed that the bureau review all future product offerings to ensure that we apply to them the
    lessons we learned from the marketing of the American Eagle 25th Anniversary Set. One of the
    principal sources of frustration was our web and phone order-taking system. As many of you
    know, we are in the process of updating our order management system. Our current system
    is very outdated and we recognize that it does not serve our customers well. Accordingly,
    we recently selected a contractor that will develop and implement our new system–one that
    will be modern and comparable to other top-rated retail Web sites. Unfortunately, this transition
    will take some time; we are anticipating that the new system will be in place by fall 2012.
    Our aim is to work earnestly to ensure that the inconvenience and frustration that our
    regular customers may have encountered last week is mitigated in 2012 as we re-examine
    our product launch strategies and systems. We value our relationship with you and are
    committed to serving you professionally and responsively. You deserve no less!

    I expect that the "bubble" will be a very "thick" bubble as was demonatrated by the 20th Anniversary Sets which to this day are still priced at 200% over purchase price with a mintage of 250,000 pieces.

    The $600 price looks like it "might" be a good starting point since folks are listing and buying a totally "unseen" item. Once they become a reality, the prices will most assuradly change.

    If anyone has noticed, the Pucks have taken major hits in the past few months since the frenzy over them died down.

    However, I don't think that this particular set will take much of a hit, but that depends on how frothy the frenzy becomes when they finally make it to the secondary market. If they go too high, they will get hit - just like every other hot new issue does.

    Nah, the bulk submitters are going to keep those boxes w/ capsules and coa. they'll need them to reassemble sets when they get grades of 68 or lower. pretty easy just to crack those out and sell them again as a "fresh" raw set image

  • << <i>Ebay is purging them again. 318 Active listings this morning, down to 189. >>

    I don't think so but maybe. Maybe the presellers are running out of sets to sell or maybe they are just selling the same ones over and over again and shipping for the highest price sells only.
