I stood in line for the clad halves with a fellow that had just gotten his gold coin an hour earlier. He told me the owner of the place was very unhappy with the Mint and ANA for all the issues the sale has brought upon the hotel. I got the distict impression that something was going to hit the fan in the next day or so between the hotel and the circus being caused by the Mint. This fellow also looked like a zombie after standing in line for 12+ hours. What really amazed me was how the dealer/organizers stood within 50 feet or so of cash registers where the line standers finally paid for the coins. As soon as they paid he walked toward them and took the Mint bag that contained the coin. The guy did it right in front of the US Mint people and in front of the crowd waiting to pay. I couldn't believe how just stood around the Mint display area and casually took possesion of many multiple coins!! The US Mint managers just stood by and did nothing!
A few things to note about 1st day labels... 1) The first coin struck from any die is the true mate. 2) Not all dies are well made. 3) A first day strike label is not a guarantee that the coin will be the best coin produced during the year by the mint. 4) You are paying a premium for marketing, someones ignorance, and not necessarily the absolute highest quality. 5) Some expert numismatists (usually the variety and proof collectors) can actually read the different die states to an amazing degree... they can tell the first few coins struck from the die from the later several hundreths struck first day strike coins.
Does anyone know if they are issuing a Washington DC label, Philly label and such for 1st day? I just got a call from a friend I made in line telling me the dealer I sold to was going for the DC 1st day label! I said huh? I think that dealer may be SOL? Any ideas?

This deal is not the ultimate barn burner for the TPG's.

What do you mean the Franklin Mint?
It's the original design in 24k gold. What else should they have made for the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy Half dollar ?
Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy half-dollar, the United States Mint will offer its first-ever gold half-dollar.
It features the original 1964 obverse (heads) design created by United States Mint Chief Engraver Gilroy Roberts with a special 1964-2014 inscription.

It's 2:45am CDT on 8/6/14. I took a short walk over to the convention center to see what was going on after hearing police sirens and continuous yelling over the PA. First thought it sounded like a riot. Appears police is trying to get people off the street and off the planters, threatening arrest to those not in compliance. Apparently sitting of any kind isn't allowed in line either. At this time the line is around the corner to Bryn Mawr Avenue at least a 1/4 mile long. I even saw a few dealers I know well in that line. Virtually everybody is carrying camping gear.
Upon a quick glance the average age of a person in line appears about 25 years old but all age groups are represented. Even saw a half dozen elderly folks trying to scurry into the line on their canes and walkers.
A bus just pulled up to deposit a few dozen more people.
This is a complete circus, all for a coin no less. That's the truth.

If only 500 people get a coin, why are there 1,000 in line? Didn't they get the memo? Or do you think those are just people who are paid to stand in line, so they're standing in line?
I'm baffled why the Mint would want to be a party to this. Next time, sell them all online so everyone at least seems to have an equal chance.

The real windfall is in the first day release at ANA labels, which required the coins be submitted on 8/5/14 and accompanied by a receipt showing the coins were purchased on site at the show. The online orders might be delivered in time for first release designation but not first day ANA release. That is where the money is.
My guess why there are that many people in line is partly due to the lottery mentality: if you don't wait you have zero chance of scoring a coin. Wait in line and your chances might be minuscule but your chances are better than zero. Perhaps some miracle might happen. That and people were paid to wait so they will do it regardless.

With all of the serious problems that are occurring at the US Mint's sales locations where hoards of people are lining up to purchase a gold Kennedy coin and the TPG companies adding so much Hype for dealers to get the "Rare" label, I suggest that the USM may have to stop selling new issues this way. What would happen to the value of a ANA PF70 Gold Kennedy half be worth in days to come if all on site location Mint sales were curtailed from now on for new Mint issues ??
<< <i>Wouldn't it be poetic justice if the dealers paying the big flip profits got stuck holding the bag. >>
Don't the registry junkies drive the label market ? If correct then these label dealers know they need to get the junk at any price. They know tha junkies gotta have their fix.
As of 7:30 A.M. Eastern Time today, my credit card has not be hit; My order completed within the first 15 minutes yesterday. It's going to be awhile I guess.
As someone on another thread mentioned, they need to verify order limits and Credit Cards, so yes, it will take a little while. So hold a little or hurry and cancel.
I think I'm going to cancel. I may end up wanting one of these after all but I have time, right? These won't end up like another UHR, will they ?
<< <i>This is a complete circus, all for a coin no less. That's the truth. >>
It's not a coin. When the dust settles it's impossible to tell today's ANA coin from the last one sold when the mint closes sales. And they will mint to demand.
It's the combination of a coin, and a label that 'proves' the provenance. And that's the bogon here... so what? This coin is one of [guessing] 800 MS70 coins out of 1500 that XYZS can trace back to the 2014 ANA show which are among the first coins the mint released. That is ALL it says. and so what? Are there really that many fools chasing a piece of paper? There is no way to prove they are the first minted... heck those are probably on the bottom of the pallet and orders filled from the top... They aren't first from a die - with a 600 coin die life those are scattered throughout the run.
This isn't numismatics. It's not coin collecting. It's Beanie Babies - or for the more literate - Dutch Tulip bulbs.
Now if one were to be in the business of creating replicas, here is an attractive piece of paper and plastic to target!!!!

Everything is normal so far. Coins on hold while they check credit cards. Cancel box there. Shipping date is still 5/8. So what is the problem? Are you having second thoughts? Concerned your coins have not sold yet on ebay. $6000 on your credit card concerning you? Rest easy, gold is on it's way up and so will the price of these coins when that happens.
Anyone know how Philly went today? Yesterday was a total mess with dealers scoffing up. 2/3 of coins US mint should be ashamed of themselves of what they allowed happen in plain view with this release IMO I think big changes are coming or no more show releases Solve the problem with enforcement, or flood the retail locations with 5000 coins Per day instead of 500

These still have a chance to be a good flip for those getting them in the first wave and the mint seems to be handling this one well. The fiasco in Chicago will do nothing more than make these coins more desirable in the next few weeks.
I must be getting old but i don't see it for this coin. I feel bad for the real collectors who will be stuck with a high mintage coin that will do nothing for years down the road. There are many gold coins with mintages under 15,000 that have done nothing, and this one has been propped up to over 40,000.
The mint did an excellent job of selling this, I never would have guessed they could pull this off with this high of sales so fast. I doubt they change a thing as this sold, and sold big. They are probably already planning next year and what gold will be in a special set.
Also pre-announcing how many coins was struck was a smart move, it set an artificial amount for buyers to target.
Overall the mint did an amazing job on this, however the end result is that goes against the potential value as an investment.
<< <i>Also pre-announcing how many coins was struck was a smart move, it set an artificial amount for buyers to target. >>
Some of the Descriptions on these Pre-Sale coins on ebay just crack me up... "With limited productionof this Kennedy gold proof coin and anticipated high demand, you need to act now to be one of the first to own this very exclusive coin."
Comments
1) The first coin struck from any die is the true mate.
2) Not all dies are well made.
3) A first day strike label is not a guarantee that the coin will be the best coin produced during the year by the mint.
4) You are paying a premium for marketing, someones ignorance, and not necessarily the absolute highest quality.
5) Some expert numismatists (usually the variety and proof collectors) can actually read the different die states to an amazing degree... they can tell the first few coins struck from the die from the later several hundreths struck first day strike coins.

Are you having second thoughts?
Concerned your coins have not sold yet on ebay.
$6000 on your credit card concerning you?
Rest easy, gold is on it's way up and so will the price of these coins when that happens. >>
I thought you had stated after the HOF fiasco that you would never deal with the US Mint again. Now you are defending them and telling people to be patient? LOL.. >>
The mint did an excellent job of selling this, I never would have guessed they could pull this off with this high of sales so fast. I doubt they change a thing as this sold, and sold big. They are probably already planning next year and what gold will be in a special set.
Also pre-announcing how many coins was struck was a smart move, it set an artificial amount for buyers to target.
Overall the mint did an amazing job on this, however the end result is that goes against the potential value as an investment.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

Some of the Descriptions on these Pre-Sale coins on ebay just crack me up...
"With limited productionof this Kennedy gold proof coin and anticipated high demand, you need to act now to be one of the first to own this very exclusive coin."
