PCGS doesn't label them high relief but NGC does.

Justlooking · October 7, 2014 4:27PM

Two sounds like a nice, round number.

<< Just a heads up. Your credit card information probably wasn't brought over to the new site. (Mine wasn't.) >>

Quite true...the Mint said that any customers with subscriptions would keep their CC info on file...but....I have a few subs and when I checked there was no CC info on file.

MsMorrisine · October 12, 2014 1:59PM

The OGP for this is rather ugly

53BKid · October 12, 2014 9:36PM

It really is ugly, isn't it?

Many of the chronicles sets, and innovative packaging the mint has put out have been really nice.

This? At least in the mint's illustration--Yuk!

Connecticoin · October 13, 2014 10:43AM

I think the coins themselves are cool -- one from each mint is cool as well. I may get 2 or 3 sets now, instead of one.

They should end the series, but if they don't they should use these "original head" designs instead of the horrible "spaghetti hair" coins made for the mint sets.

<< If the quality is good this will be a nice set to add to your collection. Don't waste time or money buying extras.

The big guys will have graded ones by the thousands at prices that will most likely be below your cost after their initial attempt at price gouging fails.

Order what you want to keep and hope the quality is good.

>>

I agree. The small guy can't compete with the dealers on this one. Grading fees, PP fees, Ebay fees, etc will kill any profit.

I'll buy a few sets from the Mint, but i'll buy a 70 set from the dealers and be done with it. Not sending any in my self.

<< Just a heads up.

If you plan on ordering these sets, you'll probably want to add a CC on the mint site so it doesn't slow down the ordering process on Oct 28.

BTW, my order history only goes back to 2008. I've contacted the mint, and their reply was, "That's the way it is."

Thanks for the warning!

BigA · October 14, 2014 9:08PM

I find it interesting that when the 2011 25th Annie ASE set came out some complained about how much the packaging (nice) probably added to the cost...now the packaging is minimal and the complaints are also there....

MsMorrisine · October 21, 2014 12:48AM

The mint's new website is functional but has some idiosyncrasies.

I recommend reading the "complaint" thread before Oct 28 and prepare for the quirks.

BaronVonBaugh · October 22, 2014 3:54PM

Only a few days away.

Kudbegud · October 24, 2014 4:19AM

Mint News Blog is reporting that a maximum mintage for the 4 coin set is 300,000. 5 per household is still in effect. 180,000 sets will be available on the first day. This will make for quick shipping. I estimate within 5 days of ordering.
200,000 mintage limit on the 2 coin set has also been enacted. No mintage maximum on the gold.

jrt103 · October 24, 2014 7:19AM

1 or 2 day sellout? Seems somewhat likely at this point, no?

MsMorrisine · October 24, 2014 7:36AM

I think it will sell strong like the clad but be hard to flip past week 1.5-2 to impossible to flip like the gold

They won't sell out in 2 days

The mint site indicates the product limit is 300,000 but the mintage limit is: none

There's a difference

...meaning the coins could show up singularly or in additional sets??? I would think that it would be a bit late in the year to pull that off.

ricko · October 25, 2014 4:03AM

Definitely in for a set........Cheers, RickO

renman95 · October 26, 2014 10:40AM

<< I think the (silver) minted will surpass their clad little brothers. >>

Hmm, good guess. The clads are limited to 200,000 (product) and the silver to 300,000 (product).

I've seen the mags advertise the 2-coin clad set for $29.95. Not bad for a $9.95 offer.

I'll prolly go for 5 silver sets. (I pulled the plug on the gold after I ordered.)

You can get a pcgs pr70fs non-show for around issue price and raw for well under current price. Record low for an ebay raw via true auction $1001.01

FullStrike · October 26, 2014 1:05PM

Everybody have fun with these Silver Sets. If you want them buy them. If you're tired of Kennedy's for a while, sit it out.
With a flood of 180,000 ready to sweep throuh Numisville, it will be interesting to see if everyone is drowned or if
some do survive in the end.

I'm just going to sit on a hill and watch it all happen.

FullStrike · October 28, 2014 12:41AM

I'm going to put out my first day sales prediction which is all part of the fun of US Mint watching. I'm guessing 110,000
sets sold the first day. When the flood hits the bay- look out - a repeat of the Gold disaster- only worst.

Kudbegud · October 28, 2014 1:20AM

OK, I'll play. My guess is 75,000.

MsMorrisine · October 28, 2014 1:22AM

42,000

pf70collector · October 28, 2014 1:29AM

So with the new website is there still a waiting room?

BigA · October 28, 2014 1:40AM

Not yet...

pf70collector · October 28, 2014 1:48AM

No waiting room at 11:45 AM. It may change at 12 PM

BackroadJunkie · October 28, 2014 1:52AM

No more waiting rooms. It was eliminated with the switch to PFSWeb.

My wag: 100K sold today.

pf70collector · October 28, 2014 1:54AM

With the government's track record I still think the new website will crash.

renman95 · October 28, 2014 2:02AM

Took less than a minute...USM0259xxxx

mbogoman · October 28, 2014 2:02AM

Just gotta wait for the delivery now!

Order: USM02593***

Paulyaces76 · October 28, 2014 2:05AM

Wow, easier then I thought!

BackroadJunkie · October 28, 2014 2:06AM

That was easy.

In for three, two separate orders:
12:02pm: USM02592xxx
12:03pm: USM02592xxx

For the record, they're 580 orders apart.

baddogss · October 28, 2014 2:07AM

Just ordered a few sets and it went well. I was logged in before noon, with a few other items in my cart ... I mean bag.
Order number USM0259xxxx

bsshog40 · October 28, 2014 2:07AM

Got my one set in no time at all.

BigA · October 28, 2014 2:08AM

Piece of cake....even lost my connection during checkout and got right back in and out in a couple of minutes

BackroadJunkie · October 28, 2014 2:08AM

<< With the government's track record I still think the new website will crash. >>

<cough>

reddwing · October 28, 2014 2:08AM

Wow...way, way too easy and quick! i miss the old days already! In for 4 sets.

claychaser · October 28, 2014 2:09AM

Zippy! 2592XXX

Paulyaces76 · October 28, 2014 2:09AM

I will say these might not be in high demand or is the new ordering site that good! I got 3 on my first order then ordered another 1 set to open, got right in both times!

Paulyaces76 · October 28, 2014 2:12AM

My second order is not showing up? Why would that be also, did not get an email at all for any orders?
