My five sets are on there way per mint email. Just the day before they were estimating a maling date of 11/28/11. My original order went through 4:08.02 Eastern time, but like so many other people it took me multiple attempts over hours to get the order placed. I was not continuous at it but must have tried at least 5-6 times (sounds like I was very lucky compared to some out there).
Hope as many others that got their orders in later get sets, too.

Ebay will remove reported presale of graded sets on the basis that a listing for a graded coin requires a picture of the actual coin(s) and holder being sold and requires actual certification numbers be provided.

Do you really think that the re-flippers are the ones buying at $850??? That is a ballsy move at that price. They would have to re-flip at a grand to break even......I think raw open sets will max out a tad above where they are now...maybe up to $950 but not much higher.....

Hi all, Another new member here.... A lot us recently! My question- Is Silvertowne a good (reputable) source for selling the sets? They have an offer I'm considering and would like any feedback available. They advised I would ship directly to NGC, and once NGC confirmed receipt, they would send me a check. Not sure that I like this, I would prefer to send to them directly then have them send a check. But I do understand it's cutting out a step in their process to have me ship directly for grading and it would be about the same cost to me since I have to ship anyway. Does this process raise any red flags?
I'm also not experienced with shipping. From what I have read on this thread and others, I believe, I should send USPS registered, insured with signature confirmation. Correct? It would be a box of 5 sets and a box of 3 sets. I can also send expedited with registered, right?
I have been a long time lurker and really enjoy all of the knowledge shared. Thanks

Silvertowne has been around for quite a while and I would consider them a reputable company....
Regarding shipping....cheapest and safest for you would be registered with full value insurance (whatever they are offering you). It's the slowest but you really don't care about that....sig is required for registered

I agree the current price are being supported by several re-flippers, as they are buying up all the box of 5 sealed sets at 4k+. I look at a couple buyers each of whom brought over 40 box of 5 in the last few day for 4k+ a pop.
I packed my 3 sets/unopened mint box per the forum information and mailed it to PCGS this past Saturday (from Jacksonville, Florida) . Registered and Insured at the local Post Office. The local PO scanned the package at acceptance, and it was scanned prior to sending it to a local sorting facility Saturday afternoon.
No scan since. I have no idea where it may be. Contacted the local Post Office and they are at a loss at why it was not scanned since Saturday, but they hope that it will be scanned today and show up after 6 PM Eastern time.
As mentioned in the forum, the local PO Supervisor said there is a paper trail for registered packages if worse comes to worse. The box was well packed, and it had both my address and PCGS address attached to the inner box from the mint. It also had my credit card information on the PCGS form. I sure hope the package shows up on the USPS web site tonight. I also contacted the destination post office but they were of no help today.

USPS "tracking" is a joke. And registered mail is slow. So personally I wouldn't worry about it until next week if nothing shows up. But that's just me. I know registered is more reliable and sometimes cheaper, but I like to send the "fastest" way I can afford so it's just there and I dont have to worry about it.

I know another modern collector (truth be told he's more of a modern flipper) that was still buying in quantity up to $775. He's now done he says, but he bought a great many sets. Also, an eBay seller on another board I frequent posted that when he searched the history for one of his buyers that he found the buyer had purchased 280 sets recently! The poster certainly didn't have any reason to lie and his post seemed 100% genuine.
I honestly believe that a great many, if not the majority of sets selling right now are going to dealers and 're-flippers'. How long can this self-feeding frenzy go on I don't know. However it's important to note that the 20th ASE sets did no peak for at least 6 months after their issue. The rate these are rising right now I think we'll see the short term top well before then.

Normal procedure. Sometimes en route tracking shows and sometimes it doesn't. Will not arrive at PCGS for 6-14 days from Jax (I know first hand, I live on the southside). Your concern is premature.

<< <i> Thank You for the info. This is my first package to PCGS, and the PO slip had a arrival day in CA for this past Monday. And I believed them...live and learn. >>
That is because the arrival date is based on the Priority part of your shipment...adding Registered changed that significantly....I would predict at least a week for delivery. Also..registered tracking doesn't seem to show activity until it gets to the destination PO...then it will update the info...weird I know
I sent in a box of 3 sets to PCGS yesterday through express mail. Today it shows no one was available to receive the package and a notice was left. This is my first time sending in anything to PCGS. Should I be worried?

Yes, it goes to a PO Box doesn't it? It either arrived after they picked up for the day or before they picked. I would think they would do a mid-day pickup.

If the package arrived BEFORE PCGS picked up for the day, then PCGS would have gotten it this morning so it likely arrived BETWEEN the AM and PM pickups.

I shipped two sets via Priority Mail this last Saturday. I am in WA State and one went to Idaho, the other Virginia. Both arrive at their destination yesterday. Now, you would think the one going to the State next door would arrive before the one going across the Country, now wouldn't ya.
<< <i>Unopened boxes of 5 were being sold at $4500 at the Baltimore show. Tons were being submitted to PCGS. >>
It kind of makes you wonder where the grades are going to land and what effect this will have on the final price of the 70 sets. I noticed the 70 sets have started to drop a little on Fleecebay.
Can you turn in these sets at the show to be graded later, instead of shipping them or only if you want them graded that day? Is there a charge beyond the normal? Do they have to be in one big box if you have multipile boxes? Thanks
<< <i>Thank You for the info. This is my first package to PCGS, and the PO slip had a arrival day in CA for this past Monday. And I believed them...live and learn. >>
Since it is a registered priority shipment, PO is giving you estimated arrival time for priority mail. The addition of registered is gonna slow it down and this is not taken into consideration when the system spits out your delivery date.

<< <i>I wanderd into my local B&M yesterday while shopping at Trader Joey's and asked: "Have you seen any ASE Anniv. Sets coming in?"
"Nope." Well, if you did what would you be paying? He said: "Oh, $20 over Mint cost."

Not sure that I like this, I would prefer to send to them directly then have them send a check. But I do understand it's cutting out a step in their process to have me ship directly for grading and it would be about the same cost to me since I have to ship anyway. Does this process raise any red flags?
I'm also not experienced with shipping. From what I have read on this thread and others, I believe, I should send USPS registered, insured with signature confirmation. Correct? It would be a box of 5 sets and a box of 3 sets. I can also send expedited with registered, right?
I have been a long time lurker and really enjoy all of the knowledge shared. Thanks >>
I think you'll be fine shipping right to NGC.
Regarding shipping....cheapest and safest for you would be registered with full value insurance (whatever they are offering you). It's the slowest but you really don't care about that....sig is required for registered

Somewhere early in this thread I discussed re-flippers and the affect they would have on price increases. I also mentioned that when they stop buying, prices will drop. >>
Do you really think that the re-flippers are the ones buying at $850??? That is a ballsy move at that price. They would have to re-flip at a grand to break even......I think raw open sets will max out a tad above where they are now...maybe up to $950 but not much higher.....
The upgrade will be the complete graded sets since all those open boxes are taking the number of potential complete sets down dramatically....that's why I think even a 69 set will near $1500 in the near future....
>>
I agree the current price are being supported by several re-flippers, as they are buying up all the box of 5 sealed sets at 4k+.
I look at a couple buyers each of whom brought over 40 box of 5 in the last few day for 4k+ a pop.
No scan since. I have no idea where it may be. Contacted the local Post Office and they are at a loss at why it was not scanned since Saturday, but they hope that it will be scanned today and show up after 6 PM Eastern time.
As mentioned in the forum, the local PO Supervisor said there is a paper trail for registered packages if worse comes to worse. The box was well packed, and it had both my address and PCGS address attached to the inner box from the mint. It also had my credit card information on the PCGS form.
I also contacted the destination post office but they were of no help today.
Hope you all have better luck.

USPS "tracking" is a joke. And registered mail is slow. So personally I wouldn't worry about it until next week if nothing shows up. But that's just me.
I know registered is more reliable and sometimes cheaper, but I like to send the "fastest" way I can afford so it's just there and I dont have to worry about it.

I know another modern collector (truth be told he's more of a modern flipper) that was still buying in quantity up to $775. He's now done he says, but he bought a great many sets. Also, an eBay seller on another board I frequent posted that when he searched the history for one of his buyers that he found the buyer had purchased 280 sets recently! The poster certainly didn't have any reason to lie and his post seemed 100% genuine.
I honestly believe that a great many, if not the majority of sets selling right now are going to dealers and 're-flippers'. How long can this self-feeding frenzy go on I don't know. However it's important to note that the 20th ASE sets did no peak for at least 6 months after their issue. The rate these are rising right now I think we'll see the short term top well before then.

Normal procedure. Sometimes en route tracking shows and sometimes it doesn't. Will not arrive at PCGS for 6-14 days from Jax (I know first hand, I live on the southside). Your concern is premature.

Thank You for the info. This is my first package to PCGS, and the PO slip had a arrival day in CA for this past Monday. And I believed them...live and learn.
<< <i> Thank You for the info. This is my first package to PCGS, and the PO slip had a arrival day in CA for this past Monday. And I believed them...live and learn. >>
That is because the arrival date is based on the Priority part of your shipment...adding Registered changed that significantly....I would predict at least a week for delivery. Also..registered tracking doesn't seem to show activity until it gets to the destination PO...then it will update the info...weird I know
<< <i>I sent in a box of 3 sets to PCGS yesterday through express mail. Today it shows no one was available to receive the package and a notice was left. This is my first time sending in anything to PCGS. Should I be worried? >>
They will pick it up today....

Yes, it goes to a PO Box doesn't it? It either arrived after they picked up for the day or before they picked. I would think they would do a mid-day pickup.

If the package arrived BEFORE PCGS picked up for the day, then PCGS would have gotten it this morning so it likely arrived BETWEEN the AM and PM pickups.

I sent a registered package from PA to CA, took 14 days! Tracking never showed where it was till it arrived, but did indicate it would arrive 4 days after I shipped it. The buyer was not happy .

I shipped two sets via Priority Mail this last Saturday. I am in WA State and one went to Idaho, the other Virginia. Both arrive at their destination yesterday. Now, you would think the one going to the State next door would arrive before the one going across the Country, now wouldn't ya.
<< <i>Unopened boxes of 5 were being sold at $4500 at the Baltimore show. Tons were being submitted to PCGS. >>
I hope the same offers are forthcoming at Santa Clara. If so, I'm selling. If not, I'm grading.
<< <i>Unopened boxes of 5 were being sold at $4500 at the Baltimore show. Tons were being submitted to PCGS. >>
It kind of makes you wonder where the grades are going to land and what effect this will have on the final price of the 70 sets. I noticed the 70 sets have started to drop a little on Fleecebay.
Is there a charge beyond the normal?
Do they have to be in one big box if you have multipile boxes?
Thanks

Since it is a registered priority shipment, PO is giving you estimated arrival time for priority mail. The addition of registered is gonna slow it down and this is not taken into consideration when the system spits out your delivery date.
