No way was this going to magically become sold out after there was north of 100 available this AM....they have to wait until all the orders from today are processed, shipped, and time given for returns....probably a minimum of two + weeks ..key is the +
So, if the mint were to mint 14,000 more - they clearly don't have them lying around - could we talk PCGS into issuing 2nd Strike labels? It would give Gluggo something else to sink $1000 into.

I generally agree with you about timing, BUT BUT BUT look at the Limited Edition Silver set. About 400 became available last week and sold. Then net sales for last week were NEGATIVE. Yet they called it a sell out this week.

Some forum members hit it big with President coins and other Mint products .. the supposed quick sellout sucked them in with the 225th set ..look back at start of thread for the euphoric false sellout .. there at least 2 here who sunk in some large buy numbers .. does jessewuvu make 3 ?

I'm not sure how anyone knows who is holding what. No one has fessed up to holding hundreds or thousands of sets. Not that it matters, they may well make good money on them eventually.
No one (other than dmwest) have referred to this as a sell out. We've simply been speculating on when/if the sell out occurs.
If this thread upsets you so much, you should probably stop reading it.

It also wasn't a false sellout so much as a temporary sellout. Then bad juju happened and orders were canceled and people panicked... For the better part of a day, there were 225,000 sets sold. Ah....the memories....
took me 2 months to register 2 plain coins I bought off someone. Gets very frustrating with a couple coins sitting in the "que" on my end table. Urrr rocking back and forth now Tell me about the rabbits George

He can't really know at this point. The mint has not, for most items, indicated what the mintage limit and distribution rules will be.

Impossible to say. But, if they have them, they would be sale for now, they wouldn't be waiting. Christmas shopping has already started. Best Buy and Walmart (and I'm sure others) are already offering their black Friday deals this weekend.
If they have to mint them...doesn't seem like they'd bother since they don't actually make any money on them anyway.

Not necessarily UPS, but in the original, sealed shipping box from the Mint. The enclosed packing slip must show the package was shipped before the cutoff date.
At some point, the market is going to scoff at First Strike labels.
When they mint 200,000 of the things and stockpile them and then ship them all in a week, First Strike means nothing. You could very well receive the first package the mint ships and have it be the LAST strike since they put the later coins on top of the original coins in the warehouse.

I thought we were talking about those bulk order boxes, which would have been shipped UPS. In any event, I doubt you could get FS on those black tape sealed boxes of 24.

The only true "First Strike" coins will be when the mint segregates a certain number of coins from each new die pair and certifies them as actual "First Strikes". Artificial is how the current designation can only be described.
Then there will be the distribution of those certified coins which will become the next mint controversy. Sold as a new profit center? Randomly inserted into the shipping stream with an actual certificate? Is there favoritism in who gets one and it isn't luck at all? What a potential mess !

Most people don't give a hoot about the f.s. designation, but they do like the label (American Flag) that's associated with with it. F.S. may be meaningless, except when it's time to sell and has been so for "ages." I've heard the same argument about the "misleading" f/s label for years, but it still generates a premium over non f/s designations.

I can sell you some flag stickers for $1 each, shipping included. You can slap the label on your cheaper slab and save a fortune.

The limited edition silver set went sold out today...
That's interesting, they actually were down to 49,300 sold this week.
More than 100 available
Yep.
But I'm only changing the title to the thread if they stay available for more than 24 hours...
I saw 94 at 8:35
And 78 a few ago
Yup...73 now.
maybe sold out once it hits zero? wishful thinking
Down to nine left
they went fast i guess
Damn....went to buy the last three and they were toast before I could check out....maybe a good thing
another remind me post, unreal
No way was this going to magically become sold out after there was north of 100 available this AM....they have to wait until all the orders from today are processed, shipped, and time given for returns....probably a minimum of two + weeks ..key is the +
another 2 + weeks of 33 to 35 dollars per set on e bay.
clearly you all are mistaken...the last set was sold last week.....it is sold out...
Don't quote me on that.
I respect your tenacity!!!
So, if the mint were to mint 14,000 more - they clearly don't have them lying around - could we talk PCGS into issuing 2nd Strike labels? It would give Gluggo something else to sink $1000 into.

FWIW, I have enough to offer some up for sale at cost plus shipping to them. Anyone not get a set and need one?

he should get some of those sets graded
That is the oddest seller I've seen. He seems to sell nothing but modern Mint issues and he seems to have most of his inventory in EU sets.... ????
yeah, your right, and he likes grading his coins through anacs for whatever reason
Less expensive than PCGS or NGC.
yeah I know, but that guy has enough to do a bulk grade through pcgs which runs about the same as a anacs grade, not to mention the anacs holders are ugly and command about 30 percent less as a pcgs graded coin would
