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.

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.

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!!
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.

My order is 38404xxx and still at "1 unit backordered. Expected to ship on 11/20/2011."
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?

I called the mint earlier this week 4.30 orders and under are shoo ins ..later maybes.. they had many disappointed customers trying to get sets..
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"

Join the fight against Minnesota's unjust coin dealer tax law.

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>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? >>
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.

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"
