Yes thanks I knew this. He seems to get the numbers before Tuesday and that was my question.
Ah, I didn't know that was the question.
The master file (see my post) gets updated on Monday (usually) sometime during the day before the official totals get posted. (This doesn't happen if Monday is a holiday, obviously, but the file will still get updated before the website on Tuesday.)
These are "unofficial" numbers, and the mint reserves the right to correct those numbers before the official numbers posted on Tuesday. (The only times I think I've seen a correction is when they reduce the maximum sold to the maximum mintage. This is an artifact from when they purposely oversold a product for a waitlist.)
I save the master file every week to the same directory, so every time I go online (usually every couple of hours), I'll download the file to see if the size has changed. It generally grows about 250K every week, so it's easy to detect when they've added data.
I keep a separate spreadsheet of the products I'm following, so my (kinda) weekly sales updates only takes a minute to update into the table form I post. One day, if I ever have the time (and the motivation), I'm writing a database program to read in and analyze all that mint data...
It's not a secret backdoor, or anything like that. I've posted this before (at least, I think I have), maybe we need a faq around here.
I called and got a direct return shipping with a promises of replacements. Was told they hold back some to replace major damaged items. If minor they just issue return.

Both WP medals came back PF69UC. Both SF medals came back PF70UC. I thought it might come back the other way around. Actually was hoping for a 70 set to go with my 2015 HR...
Anyone grade ATS with ER that wants to trade a WP PF70UC and a SF PF69UC for a SF PF70UC and a WP PF69UC?
Any other grades yet through our hosts or ATS yet?
It cost over $300 on eBay to get one of each. They're in the original boxes. They sure are pretty pieces. I never thought I'd pay $160 per ounce for a piece of silver that is not even a coin. Sometimes I wonder about myself. Then, I get over it.

I am wondering if ATS will show a stinger 70's on this medal. PCGS has the numbers up and looks like it is over 50%. I got 3/8 70's ats and it looks like the numbers here are about the same! Also, it looks like the prices on ebay are a little higher on ats medals. That could also be the FLOOD of PCGS graded medals on there!

Unless they've changed their ways, it'll be a while until before NGC puts up any pops. (There's nothing there yet.)
That said, out of the 22 posted (ATS) grades so far:
SF PF70 - 5 SF PF69 - 5 WP PF70 - 6 WP PF69 - 6
That's an eerily even split even for such a small sample... How far above 50% is PCGS's PF70 vs PFxx?
(I'm actually amazed at the rates of the 70's considering the proof fields are flippin' huge. Like, almost Ike dollar huge.)
Oh, and I officially apologize for complaining that I was paying $15 over spot for a silver round...
Totally missed these, finding out about them now. Who wants to sell me one?
Prices are slowly descending on Ebay as graded examples pile up. There are over 350 current listings. Several pairs of PCGS graded 69s went off this morning at $210 or less...
I called and got a direct return shipping with a promises of replacements. Was told they hold back some to replace major damaged items. If minor they just issue return.
FedEx lost one of my packages and I sent in a CNR. They said they could not send me another one. I hope you get yours.
Nothing "fishy". Have you seen the (literally) thousands of open bid auctions for PCGS 70 gold Mercury dimes (the majority, or close to it, I believe from the same seller) that have brought prices down to just a touch over raw coins? Wondercoin.
Edited to add... I have no idea why the comment was now edited out by Paulyaces
Please visit my website at www.wondercoins.com and my ebay auctions under my user name www.wondercoin.com.
The comment came off wrong and that's why I deleted it! Much better to roll them out slowly instead of flooding. How did this guy get 600 of them? Right away the boxes were up to $400 within an hour! If he had to buy at that price he is losing money if he got 1 set of 69's and 1 set of 70's unless he had 150 people on his list buying for him! With this seller it happens everyday another 20-40 go on, so it must be more then 600? How in this case! The dime, you could get everywhere for almost cost for a while and household limit was different!
Gold, I was talking about him a a couple of days ago. If he is on this site someone needs to tell him to knock that off! That's why ATS are selling for more money because people think there are tons of those to go around!

Was at the bank anyway, so I picked up their sister to do a family portrait. I think it's funny that the coin you sent seems to be rotated a bit clockwise, and my silver medal seems to be rotated a bit counterclockwise...
I'll be putting photoshop to the test soon and do some overlays of the medal vs. the coin. Since the dies were digitally generated, I would expect the designs to be exactly the same...

Not just so few returns but that both mint marks are close to equal. Looks like most got one of each.
A question:
You get these numbers from the Federal Register? Would you post a link please. Or in a PM to me?
Thanx

Wondercoin, you are absolutely right! Same Seller
Sold 320 sets and has 120 up for sale.
Lots of the same bidders on these, but they never win.

Never? That's a bidder worth a Shilling or two.
