<< Kennedy Collection Scores 12-Hour Sales of 85,670

Far from a sell out that some predicted.

CoinNews link >>

A bomb bigger than the Gold Kennedy. A Flipper nightmare in the making. Not popular and not hard to obtain. The Mint is on its A game by blowing these out the door in the first couple of days. Watch sales crawl to a trickle in the coming weeks. $99 is to much money for these imho.

7over8 · October 29, 2014 3:13AM

If the 180,000 sets available for immediate distribution is factual, this is one that will be "in stock" sold well into 2015.

I understand it's not "maximum mintage" of 300,000, but rather "maximum" of 300,000 for this packaging/product option------no need to worry, it will never hit 300,000 sets, but if it does.....50-75k sets will sit in stock forever....

<< Are these going to be a good flip? >>

You bet!!! LOL!!!

750% markup

Never mind - that is for 5 sets!

I don't understand why some one would pay a 50% premium to buy off Ebay when ordering from the mint is open with plenty of stock shipping. Or am I the stupid one?

Just a guess. Could it be eBay bucks, points, coupons, gift cards, etc...

pf70collector · October 29, 2014 4:20AM

So the mint is not selling these sets at the Baltimore Show?

Nope, announced weeks ago that no sales at Balto show...

More than double my prediction in half the time

Konahead · October 29, 2014 4:37AM

Got message it has already shipped. Omg stop the maddness!

MsMorrisine · October 29, 2014 4:41AM

Mine shipped with a "pre-shipment" tracking number

Wow

Heaven

FullStrike · October 29, 2014 8:26AM

So did anyone happen by the Mints Gift Shops at the Denver or Philly Mints yesterday. Or how about the US Mint HQ
in DC? One of the news releases about a month ago mentioned sales happening at the Mints usual locations but
no sales in Baltimore. Well if there are Dealers submitting Silver Sets at the show we'll know what happened.

MsMorrisine · October 29, 2014 8:29AM

Call DC and ask if they had them

I doubt they did as it would have been another mess.

Kudbegud · October 29, 2014 8:44AM

I see on the mint page for these Kennedy's that online and by phone is the only way to get them. This would exclude mint outlets.

"-Set includes four Kennedy half–dollar coins struck in 90% silver in four different finishes, one from each of the U.S. Mint’s coin production facilities

-Sales for this product will be online and by phone only."

morgansforever · October 29, 2014 8:51AM

Just ordered 5 sets a couple of minutes ago, order # USM026385xx

EDIT: Wonder why they didn't include a P mint uncirculated example in the set?

This has always puzzled me also. I have never heard of a logical reason for it.

Casman · October 29, 2014 9:09AM

Here's a logical reason: Maybe they ordered from the Mint before and had a stroke during the 3 hour long process only to receive a ship date months out which was later cancelled

Almost 50,000 orders since yesterday morning!

jessewvu · October 29, 2014 9:32AM

A friend got his coins today! He lives in St Louis.

agentjim007 · October 29, 2014 9:38AM

is the fast shipping a whole new level of competency ? Cynic in me says it's to avoid massive cancellations. I bought 5 sold 4 and mine will cost me $55. A small victory but still a victory IMO.

fivecents · October 29, 2014 9:42AM

Just received my 5 sets!! That was uber fast.

53BKid · October 29, 2014 10:12AM

You know what, the ease in ordering from the mint and their quick delivery are exactly what they should be!

Looking forward to receiving my sets!

FullStrike · October 29, 2014 10:51AM

How soon will ebay and Craigs be flooded? In years past, people waited until the end of sales to try to flip. Now the dummies
want to flip ASAP with no regard for availability from the Mint.

You mean like the person who's only "contributions" to these forums is when a product is up to be flipped and puts ads on the BST like the below?:

Tuesday October 28, 2014 10:59 AM

Looking for one buyer for all of the sets.
Looking to NET $120/set (after shipping)
Have shipping info for most of the orders already!
Each set was placed and order confirmed within the first hour or so. most opted for overnight mint delivery as well.

Was originally looking for $150/set, just hours after they went on sale.
One would think someone buying in that volume would have a network of buyers, especially since they play this game with each mint item that seems flippable (including the most recent gold kennedys).
Instead, they come on the BST to sell them.....hope they stagnate (I bought my 2 sets from the mint and will probably lose money over the long haul, but I wanted them).

Goldbully · October 29, 2014 11:23AM

Added my new credit card tonight around 8:30pm....just got an email from the Mint that my 3 sets have shipped at 8:52pm

MsMorrisine · October 29, 2014 11:31AM

Only 180 sets, 36 people in the network it seems

Many paid overnight shipping

Ebay sales are hitting BIN in the $130-140 range

Looking for +20 on each set net.

I guess there is room for a small margin if they all go as one, I'm not so sure these will go off at +20 each net as delivery is about 105, figure +1 to ship and insure. I guess that's about 126 per someone pays?

I wonder what the deal will be if they have to be returned....

grote15 · October 29, 2014 11:58AM

I miss the one hour sellouts, lol...the Mint has wised up--they saw the aftermarket profits and honed in on that with essentially unlimited mintages. Flipping has become a lost art, lol..

bestday · October 29, 2014 12:34PM

Amazed to see sets over Mint price on BST and Ebay ......With the new fast shipping .. these are going out of business

CoinGuy42 · October 29, 2014 12:35PM

I placed my order just a few minutes after 10:00PM (EDT), October 29, order number USM02641XXX.

Based on an earlier post in this thread with Order # USM025932XX, there have been approximately 48k orders since noon yesterday.

MsMorrisine · October 30, 2014 3:16AM

I called PCGS and they said these do not need to be sent in with the OGP.

can anyone here call to confirm?

BAJJERFAN · October 30, 2014 3:33AM

<< I called PCGS and they said these do not need to be sent in with the OGP.

They are certainly well within the 30 day window of release.

they required the clads be sent in the OGP from day 1, the gold not.

cucamongacoin · October 30, 2014 3:45AM

Guesstimates on number sold??

agentjim007 · October 30, 2014 3:53AM

Can anyone tell me ( yet ) if the individual sets are sealed?

MsMorrisine · October 30, 2014 4:53AM

<< Can anyone tell me ( yet ) if the individual sets are sealed? >>

the sets are open and the coins are in capsules similar to or the same as the gold kennedy were in.

cucamongacoin · October 30, 2014 5:15AM

Any presale pricing on graded sets from the big retailers yet?

GRANDAM · October 30, 2014 5:23AM

Does PCGS have grading options and prices yet?

I am guessing:

Regular Label
1st Strike Flag Label
1st Strike Kennedy Label

How about a (4) coin holder set? - If I send 20 coins will PCGS pick (4) of ea grade and holder together such as MS/PF69 Set or MS/PF70 Set?
That would be really

Wonder what grading & labeling fee's will be for each option?

Is it posted anywhere?

Thanks, GrandAm

Kudbegud · October 30, 2014 5:52AM

I don't believe PCGS offers a multi coin holder any more. A call to CS could answer your questions.

I sent 2 of my 5 sets off to PCGS today...regular label.
I will keep at least 1 set for my personal collection. The set is extremely beautiful and unique to the series.

How many days now till the flippers start selling at 50 a set? Just then I may buy one. Dont stress it's on it's way...

Casman · October 30, 2014 9:03AM

It'd be fun to split sell the sets just for fun and to see what could be done outside the current box.

pitboss · October 30, 2014 9:17AM

I doubt if there will be any money in flipping these, as I expected, but the mint did a great job getting them out for a change.
