I'm not sure but I don't think that they replace items that are not longer for sale.
I'm not sure either. One return for replacement generated an email, thanks for your order, a new order number, prices zeroed, with shipping carrier info, will know soon enough. I don't recall that happening with a straight up return.
You're replacement might be some else's return.

Please let us know. I think when a replacement is requested for an item that is off sale a refund is issued. Very interested to know what happens.

Tomorrow's weekly mint sales report will be interesting.
Agree. I'm curious to see if the latest numbers for the Uncirculated National Parks gold coin dropped and by how much. I'm not optimistic that it'll dethrone the Jackie Robinson as the key date in the modern gold commemoratives. For those that don't already know it the mint updates their production numbers every Tuesday at 5:00 PM ET and they are shown on their web site usmint.gov..

Nail biter. 6. Wow. Thought would drop by more. However, even though return period closing takes time to process returns so could certainly be two more weeks till processed and figured in numbers.

Very good point. The mint could pull 2015 spouse coins at any moment now. For example, The sale number of lady bird Johnson unc. Gold is only about 1720. Also the spouse key will be known for sure soon. But the $5 key will likely change every few years.
Anyway, I see at least 100 return next week. After that price may spike but soon will level off. Bottom line, next couple of weeks may be a good time window to sell.
Where did you get your info from? Nowhere near 100 returns last 2 weeks.

6?
Current production number for the NP is 5180 while the production number for the JR is 5174 so the difference is 6.

Whispers have it that the Mint typically experiences between a 10 - 20% return rate in a normal scenario. This, however is by far normal. Given that, (if it reigns true even to the point of 1.25% returns,) the NP will likely be the key.

This was like a horse race where your horse is winning by a mile, then some spectator comes in and shoots your horse in the foot, right before the finish line.
He may still win if he can learn to run with 3 legs but the race itself is tainted and the finish line is now further away
What a great and accurate narrative! Spectator is "dead on!" What a shame! Good still, but could have been much better. I can't help but wonder if some historical writing will someday show the damage caused by "blab, blab, blab, blab, blab?" Nothing added, nothing gained!

Whoo hoo! I have a sealed one... should I keep it sealed? It does not qualify for first strike.
Keeping a sealed box makes no sense if it does not quality for FS. Open it & examine it before you decide. With the raw ones closing in on $600 .. it's a tough decision.

We are in a day where sales numbers are widely known on a weekly basis. It is going to be rare when a coin of unlimited sales beats any existing coin and if they do, it will most likely not be by much because the attraction of a key coin is always on the radar of the speculator. The exception may only be when the Mint surprises everyone with a short supply.
Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.

But would a buyer rather have a raw opened or sealed box? Would they think the open one would not grade 70, so is being sold raw? With mine, there is a chance it is a 70 still.

As a buyer I would prefer an open box so I can see what I'm getting. A sealed box could just as easily have a problem coin as an MS70 coin.

The 1997 Jackie was a nail-biter also, but for different reasons. When the 5174 sales total was revealed, the Mint still had about 7000 of them on hand. Someone in Congress wanted to re-open sales of the coin, and the outcome was in doubt for several weeks. Ultimately the proposal was not successful and the 7000 remaining coins were presumably melted.

Then again, it's difficult to come up with a less popular topic, don't you think? The Generals coin certainly was right up there for undesirability, but this one may top it. And no, I have nothing against Boys Town, but really? Who got this one through?
@dbldie55 said:
Is a "key" determined by mintage alone?
No. It is determined by the survival rate. In the case of modern commemorative coins the survival rate is close to 100% so the production numbers are a good criteria to use to determine if a coin is a key date or not.

There is: "If for any reason within 7 days of receiving your product you are dissatisfied with your purchase, you can return the entire product for refund. Shipping charges will not be refunded for all returns."
Since he had to sign for that shipment, the receiving date is that date.

Well, If I have learned anything in the last 20 years of this hobby, demand can be created under the right circumstances...
Raw one sold for $619 on Feebay.
Most welcome.
I'm not sure but I don't think that they replace items that are not longer for sale.
I thought I posted the data....what did I miss??
A thank you.
The 2017 is SO bad, can't imagine that we won't have another <5200 $5...
added: That said, I'm very glad that they didn't put a young boy on the reverse!

To each his own. Personally I like the design and may grab a few. This will be the only gold commem. issued in 2017.

Or maybe you could compare Jackie to the Lamb Fries record, in reverse.

I can see it now! Jackie remains key date by only two coins!!

We won't really know until the audit numbers are released. If you're gonna flip and next week the total is below Jackie, you'd better sell.
Wow...the clad half unc dropped by 300.
NPS gold unc 5180
Jackie r unc 5174
