A Truth That's Told With Bad Intent Beats All The Lies You Can Invent
Its amazing all the intrest in these sets. I was luckey to be able to get 5 sets all of which I am keeping as of now but who knows what tommrow will bring. I need to ask this.. What price range do you think these sets will settle out to be in the long term? I know people are going crazy about them not but what about a few years from now??? Any thoughts!!!
PS Can someone plese tell me how to upload my own profile picture. I dont want to use any of the ones on the list since they are not mine!
A. they sometimes ship and do not enter the tracking number for a day or two. Surprise! B. sometimes they enter a tracking number and do not ship for a day or two.
It happens often enough that I'll bet #B happens to more than a couple of people, and #A may happen to 1 or 2 here.
Also, they are approximate FIFO. if we really start checking numbers I'll bet someone here will have an earlier order that didn't ship over someone whose did ship. But, they have been getting it close.
If it is a couple of days and your early order did not ship while later orders have, I'd call during 9-4 and start asking why and to speak to a supervisor. However, that's a couple of days.... they are known to only get close to FIFO, not exactly FIFO.

Any guess on the prices is just that...a guess. Sometimes optimistic. Sometimes self-serving hype. In 2006, with the 20th annv sets, I don't think anyone had a clue to what they would peak at, nor what they would sell for now (was $300 or below very recently (still nicely above the issue price of $100, but then, silver has gone up a lot since then) and is around $400ish now).
For your icon, it is only on once per month, usually the 15th, when PCGS opens it up. Until then, one of the ones in the list, or nothing, needs to be used.

I know what you mean about the 20th aniv. sets and you are right silver has gone up a bit! If I recall right silver was at 12-14 an ounce back then so the mint made a nice markup. What would happin to these sets if silver went to that price tommrow with these sets!!!! Makes one wonder.
Try changing it prior to the first attempt w/o the infonotice number (just using the tracking number) >>
I will be doing that this time and will let you know. As mentioned though the UPS missed delivery notice usually shows up prior to my US Mint tracking number.
edited to add: But even if I can't it doesn't matter as I will have to have the address changed to my work. No one will be at home to sign unless it comes on a Saturday. >>
It will be interesting if it work prior to the first delivery attempt. Let us know.
As for me, I will just drive 4 blocks the pick them up at the Distribution Center. >>
Quick update on this. W/ tracking number in UPS's system I went in to change my delivery address. Here is the pop up.
Note: Prior to the first delivery attempt, contact the sender to request a change in delivery instructions or to correct your delivery address.
Which means that they will attempt to deliver once, then I can change which is just fine w/ me. >>
Another quick update. I went back to the tracking number this evening (I signed up for MY UPS yesterday) and I was able to change the delivery address to my place of business. Cost $5 to reroute it. No delivery notification needed, just the tracking number.

<< <i>According to my tracking number, the weight of the package is 15.1 lbs. That calcs to approx 3 lbs per set. Not exact science, but food for thought. >>
I hope they come in a box that can be fit inside of a flat rate box.

On a side note. The shipping weight for two sets is 6.60 lbs. >>

Browsing through the recent completed eBay listings, one seller wrote that eBay asked him to open the sealed box and post a picture of the actual set. He said he wouldn't...probably an old box anyway. But do you think eBay is going to prohibit sales in sealed boxes?
<< <i>PCGS posted the following information today regarding grading of the 25th Anniversary set. All 5 coins will be eligible for First Strike. The cutoff date is Nov. 27th.
My mistake. I thought it was 30 days after the first ones shipped like it has been with everything else. Except for the 5 oz bullion which are eligible forever.

if eBay prevents closed box sales, that's going to hose a lot of people's plans.

No, they have already stated in messages to those that got cancelled there are two special requirements for selling this set sealed: 1. Seller must have possession, no presales 2. Have to show a picture of the sealed box and include your ebay user name in the picture.

Isn't it ironic, that all the pre sellers who claim to have the box in hand, have their scans out of focus to a point where you can't make out the shipping label details.

<< <i>Question? Does the first strike clock start ticking as of today? >>
No. It won't until Friday at the earliest or whenever PCGS actually receives an order "in-house".
Then again, in the same information on their homepage, they say the reverse proof will be designated as from the "24th Anniversary Set"
I don't think I'm putting any of these in the mail to PCGS until they clear up that sort of stuff...
I guess they don't proofread????
