    at 5:02 I attempted an order. it generated an order number but would not show up on order list. my order page had a large red disclaimer of error call customer service. just this evening it is now on my order
    list as backordered and dated at 5:00. I canceled it. after all these days in limbo I wonder if it was in the final tally.



    Order number: 42016533

    Order Date: 09/05/2013 at 05:00 PM

    Order Status: Your order request has been cancelled.

    Your post prompted me to check for the second time today and what do you know....PF70 ! My first submitted 70 grade! image
    I have not gotten the completion notice email yet. I guess there is a flow to the process. Grading done and submission updated. Some time later the email goes out. 2 to 3 day later the shipping happens and then later the email goes out.
    You should get the shipping email later today or tomorrow. >>

    Just got email confirmation that my 2013-W RP Buffalo has shipped in my email from PCGS.

    John,

    I think the many thanks goes to you, Andy and MCM. I wish i could have got the video made but the logistics didn't work out this time. Had you ended the drawing on Oct 31, we may have seen blood, fake or otherwise!!! image

    FYI everyone, still hearing crickets from GM!

    My favorite was the dancing buffalo. The record machine and music were very entertaining. It will long be remembered

    as a classic. Thanks for the congrats. Now we can enjoy the new additions and wait for the next great announcement from the mint.

    It was a very good competition and glad you won.

    Thanks also to John Maben for his generous offer and coming up with this idea for a competition.
    It gave an opportunity for me to make a video and I will try my hand at others now.

    This Forum is great with lots of good will and deep knowledge.

    One seller states 941, but not sure if that is official. BTW, for those who have FS eligible coins sealed, these may be worth hanging onto. Seems that most of those ordered after the 8th have been reported as backordered until after the cut off.

    I ordered mine on the 21st and haven't heard a peep. But, I did pay by check which will cause a delay as they ship FCPF = first cleared payment first. Further, I ordered the Buffalo First Strike (not the black Diamond) label which I believe will be limited in number.

    I got mine three days ago from USPS and, like all of us, think mine is flawless even under magnification. Of course! I think the mint would have been much better served aesthetically to have made a three coin 1/4 oz set of rev. proof, proof, and regular matte coins.

    That would have been an awesome set!!! It wouldn't have upset the 2008 fractional prices and would have been a cool set to display.
    Probably a little more affordable too...

    Received my 5oz. Fort McHenry today from MCM. What a surprise when the mailman knocked on my door. Did not expect it overnight.

    If I did not have to sign for it I would think they threw it out the window as the plane flew by.

    It made my day. Thanks again John & Andy !!!!!!!imageimage

    It looked perfect for a Bullion Coin. It is a shame I have to say this, however it was in better condition than some of the

    proof coins I have received from the mint and arrived much faster and better packaged.

    It's for just that reason that it almost doesn't make financial sense when you've only got one or two to send in, especially with the great deals on already graded 70s that have been available. After taking advantage of MCM's and GM's deals, I sold my First Strike eligible box sealed shortly after it arrived (while many were still waiting for theirs from the mint).
