My 5 were sent "Dumb" post. They were delivered to the post office by Fed EX this morning. Now we will see if they get on the truck for delivery today or tomorrow.

Mine came by UPS yesterday and were signature required.
Ugh. This is what I get for making fun of SmartPost.
Imagine if you will, coming home and being greeted with this...
Amazingly, only three sets were damaged, two are still in great shape. However the messed up sets are messed up.
So what to do? I could return the three sets, but I'd get a refund, not replacements. I was planning on keeping two sets intact, and deciding what to do with the other three later. Don't want to sell damaged sets. So the best option might be to keep my two sets and get the other three certified. So upon inspecting the coins...
See that lint? Not only the big honkin' piece below "TRUMAN", but the one's on his forehead and bridge of the nose... It's NOT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAPSULE. It's one of the one's I'm going to send in for certification. I want an attribution of "Hairiest Truman". (Get it? Huh? Huh?)
Of the five RP Trumans, none scream "Grade Me!". Maybe one has a shot. The medals look okay, but one already has a big spot on it.
Crap. Big fail on both the Mint and FedEx or USPS. At least I have a 5-coin coupon from ATS, so it'll be a cheap submission...

MCM had 143 + sets in OGP for sale. Are they less than 69's? Did they look too bad to even take a chance on getting a 69? Did they just decide to quickly unload in OGP? Stay tooned for the further adventures of "Flipper"

I would not buy one of them sets. Has to be a reason they are not off to a TPG.

Delivered by Jim Carrey masquerading as a DHS delivery person in Ace Ventura Pet Detective.
And the PF 69 goes for $320 which reminds me of the first PF70 Washington Dollars going for $700 and more. Even these 69s are not guaranteed against spotting by the TPGs.
I arrived home and found my single order 5-household limit Truman C&C sets not in one box but 5 separate boxes(?) I want to have them graded, instead of sending 5 unopened boxes, IIRC, I can send in the 5 Truman dollars in flips for the First Strike designation provided they get there before the cutoff date which is July 31, correct? Thx in advance.

Look at the Silver Eagle Set 2 coins below the Truman set
or
3 coins below Truman at the Silver Proof Set
Both show: " ** Set must arrive in sealed mint packaging to qualify for First Strike Designation."
The Truman Set does not have this special instruction ....so ....you only need to send the coins if you beat the cutoff date, the sealed Mint shipping box if after the cut off.

My guess is over $1,000.00 for starters, then when there is so little of the 70's out there it could grow closer to $5,000.00. >>
Not $25k like that ebay listing, eh?? >>
WOW, just saw that listing. Not sure if we will be seeing too many sets of 70's. I opened a box and saw that a 70 will be a tough grade to get. Of course that is just from the one box of 5.

<< <i>How do guys know when to order, every time I call I get they're not available? >>
They're unemployed/retired and have the mint page up 24/7...hitting refresh every 10 minutes...
Or maybe they're running "the program" which checks for changes on webpages which trigger alerts...
