    That loooks like about an 8:30 pm order, so if they are filling 4 hours or about 30,000 orders after the sellout then they cancelled alot of orders.

    Yeah, actually It was a 915pm EST order. I guess I should be happy that I haven't got an absolute NO at this point. I still don't have a lot of hope, but stranger things have happened at the good ol US MINT.
  • So, does anyone have the "in stock and reserved" on their order yet? Or have we not come to that quite yet?


  • << <i>A question to anyone who would care to answer...but have any of the big dealers (and you know who they are) upped their initial ante to secure more supply? >>



    As of yesterday, APMEX was still offering 425 and i checked with a buyer who filled his quota on the first day at 75 over mint price to see if his offer price had gone up any and he indicated for now, he is not buying

    Very interesting, why do you think he is not buying? Is he worried about people backing out? Seems a big dealer like that would buy all they could at 75 over.
  • This could be old news, but these numbers are pretty interesting. This is from NN

    "Tom Jurkowsky, the Mint’s director of public affairs, said that in the first five hours the sets were available, the Mint received over 27,000 orders. Order size averaged three sets, so roughly 81,000 sets were snapped up in that period."

    So at 5pm est. there were about 20000 sets left and that doesnt include all the cancellations that probably occured in the first 81000 sets. This should give hope to us that are on the waiting list. Sorry if this is old news.

    << <i>Does anyone get the feeling flippers/dealers are still buying in the aftermarket on the Bay? 5 coin set for only $3k or so doesn't seem like a ridiculous premium.

    Very new to this hobby, but aren't these sets truly an unusual offering?

    Can an experienced collector confirm a matter of confusion for me? Is it true that if I don't open the box and someday choose to send in for grading, that all 5 coins will still receive the "Anniversary Set" label, just not FS? >>



    My coin dealer friend has a 35 % renege rate on his promised sets from individuals.. no confirm # >>



    Is he on the forums? A B&M? An internet dealer?
    What type of people did he get the promises from? Family? Forum members? Friends?

    Were people saying they were shut out or are they just reneging?

    Given the problems with ordering and the fact that many people have lives/jobs and it may not have been worth their time afterall, it doesn't surprise me but if it were from forum members, then that would be different as many should have understood the time/ordering risks going in (though, I am sure a bunch of those that offered more than 5 sets were counting on their family/friends to do the dirty work for them) >>



    just regular collectors , speculators he offered 425.00 when the market was at 375-400


  • << <i>Has anyone's delivery date stopped moving forward a day at a time? image >>



    Yup mine has went up 1 day almost everyday on both my in process orders

    You're correct in your assumption...what you're looking for is: "IN STOCK AND RESERVED" >>



    You guys are frustrating. Earlier, I was asking if anyone was getting an "in stock and reserved" status and the smart ones were saying if you have "in process" you were gold. NOW that I have "in process" you say you need "In Stock and Reserved" I think I will ignore you for a while to keep my sanity.

    We are all in process. The next step is in stock and reserved. You are safe at in process.

    In the 11 years that I have bought online from the Mint I have never had a order go in process without receiving the product. My order for 5 sets is also in process and the Mint has not tested my credit card. From experience I can tell you they don't always test the card.

    I think people who have an account with them and order regularly do not get cards tested as frequently as others. In the last two years they only tested my card once for a MOH gold coin. Just an idea, I really don't know crap about how they do things!

  • my number is 38407xxx and had change to "in process" today. it still says back ordered and ready to ship 11/19 and the cancel box finally disappeared!! My hopes are up again!! when i see "shipped" i will be even more excited!!image
  • commacomma Posts: 1,522 ✭✭✭
    Just curious, did anyone who had legitimate orders in have theirs cancelled? It seems like the mint cancelled a ton...but I haven't heard a single person say their order was cancelled....

    Are you checking the site through your account, or order # and last name? Both my orders still have cancel boxes (and both placed well ahead of yours...within the 'pre-wait list' window), as I'm sure everyone's order/orders still do. Loooking via ord # and last name, I believe, will not show the cancel box. With their moving the ship date back 1 day every day that passes, I am quite sure noone has their cancel box actually gone (correct me, please, if I'm wrong). Not trying to bum you out or anything....I just do not believe 'cancel boxes' will actually begin to disapppear until late next week/early the week after. I would seriously believe there would be a 'ASE Set Cancel box gone!!!' thread started if they were disapearing for real (which would be the fourth-to-last new ASE info thread).....after that will be '25th Anniv ASE set In Stock and Reserved!!!!' thread, followed by '25th Anniv ASE tracking # supplied!!!!' thread, followed by the '25th Anniv ASE set shipped!!!!!!!' thread, ultimately ending with the '25th Anniv ASE set RECEIVED......Quality stinks!!!!!!' thread.
    I'll come up with something.

    Wow, that's disgusting. MCM had hundreds of confirms and so far just a single person has refused to complete the transaction. I am impressed with all the forum members that realize this is wrong. I do think that eventually one of these issues that is being bought up due to USM limit restrictions is going to go south and the first dealer to refuse to complete a transaction will be hung out to dry.

    I would be worried if I was only paying $75 over the original mint price .That dealer may want to call each person and up that price to make sure it is secure. BTW I never sold any of my sets to a dealer. These sets have'nt shipped yet.

    Bidding has brought the single sets to at least $650.00 on ebay. Assuming they start to ship from the Mint this week, do you expect these trending higher prices to hold, continue moving up, or fall back when they finally reach customers?

    There will be the two usual suspects that hold back prices.

    lots of supply at once.

    BIN prices.

    I'm interested in what people, who have their sets graded, are planning to do with their empty display boxes? I imagine I'll keep some and sell some, but have no idea if selling will be worth my time...I hate to throw them away, so anyone have experience selling the boxes from previous sets?

    Proof boxes certainly go for a decent amount for AGE's and ASE's. I suspect I'll toss one auction up and see what happens. If I can make a few bucks on each box, I'll toss one more auction up with a BIN price and quantity of 4.

    n the 11 years that I have bought online from the Mint I have never had a order go in process without receiving the product.

    Unfortunately I have. I've had them go In Process to On Hold back to In Process back to On Hold. The worst is when it goes Shipped and you celebrate.... and the order was cancelled.

    There are always some who do not want the OGP.

    There are some sellers who sell graded without OGP.

    There will be some who buy graded sets without OGP that want them.

    My guess is you may have some competition selling OGP on these because there may be a lot of graded set collectors who don't care.


    The good news is that auction listings will largely be free. Just make sureyou have a reasonable shipping fee. If they don't sell because of the fee... you're not out anything.

    Peace4Darlin is my sister. Last night she sent me a pic of her order status. She was logged into her account. She had ordered 2 items. The ASE set shows backordered with no cancel box as of last night. (It had a cancel box prior). The other item (not an ASE set) shows in stock and reserved with no cancel box.

    Prior to last night her status was on hold, last night changed to in process, with the above mentioned changes.

    System glitch...you can't be on a b.o. status w/o the cancel box. According to PBGS, none have been coded "In Stock & Reserved"
