    I just got a confirmation UPS number for my coin's coming to me from the White House Gift Shop! I am excited! I guess they are legit! I wonder if Daniel Carr made them? :D:D:D:D:D:D Daniel Carr do you live in China?

    Looks like that call the Capitol Police did wonder's! B)B)B)B)B)

    Well, good for you!

    The Capitol Police are busy with planning for this weekend's events, so it might just be coincidence.

    Well they only shipped 8 of them! They have area code 907 Alaska BLOCKED. Now to add injury I hear they should of shipped them in a box they just shipped them like this! They only shipped me 20% of my order. The White House Gift Shop is looking like a real scam! Now they are 20 days LATE! And these are not for sale! :* !

    Glad that you finally got part of your order. Wonder what the problem is with them?

    But --- that bubble plastic has got to be a treasure ! :)

    Why would the WH Gift Shop have area code 907 (Alaska) BLOCKED ? Maybe they think it's not in the United States -- or is DT trying to give it back to Putin for his birthday?

    Okay if it were not for Rachel who works at the White House Gift Shop I doubt I would be getting the latest 2 shipments that are going out today. I cont confirmation numbers so I should be good! Good job Rachel!

    If you live on Big Diomede Island in the Bering sea, you could see Russia on a clear day. Probably see it from Gambell, Alaska as well.

    Sure can - Sarah Palin said so (that you can see Russia from Alaska). :D

    Of course, it was Tina Fey doing her Palin impersonation who said "I can see Russia from my house". ;)

    Ahhh, yes. Tina Fey would have been a good VP, too! :)

    Tomorrow my 12 coins get delivered. It is already sitting in Anchorage waiting for its morning flight over for its afternoon delivery. Then I only will have to wait for the final 10 coins that they the White House Gift shop have not sent. My time with the Gift Shop will have ended. What a nightmare this has been. Never again.

  • RogerBRogerB Posts: 8,852 ✭✭✭✭✭

    What are your plans for these little medals? Can they be set up like the "Magic 8-Ball?"

  • JBKJBK Posts: 16,707 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I think they were overwhelmed by the response.

    I heard they issued a couple more designed for the US/NK thing. Did you get those also?

    I almost got the 1st one when they were on sale but the the price shot up.

    There are several versions. The desirable version was not sold, but used (or intended to be used) for those on AF-1 or otherwise associated with the on-again, off-again, on-again, did-it matter-at-all event. Note that all versions are ugly, but the first one is better made, and there are supposed to be a handful of silver and 18K gold ones for family members and Sr. WH/Repub persons. (Kim was supposed to be given a special set of medals in gold and silver, but I've not been able to get photos or solid descriptions -- or even learn if it happened.)

    These sets first twenty of coins are not for me. They all go out in the mail Tuesday. The last batch are for me and I did Not buy any of the other sets. After he raised the price from 20 bucks to 100 I was done.

  • RogerBRogerB Posts: 8,852 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Ah, yes....."Demand Pricing" like for gasoline or plywood just before a hurricane.... :)

    Gag be honest if there was a RED RESET BUTTON in the middle you would like it?

    Medals CAST (not struck) in China to commemorate something that didn't happen. If it was a U.S. Mint struck medal, it may have some value. This isn't worth the Zinc it is cast out of.

    Next time, please make the photos smaller -- the workmanship looks even worse when magnified.

    (The small number of originals for 'insiders' were die struck, hand finished. They look better but are still fugly. No telling who or what designed them - no one at WH is willing to admit that...or maybe they just don't know or care.)

    You can get a glimpse of an original and several other "challenge tokens" in photos of the Oval Office -- behind and to the right of DT -- on an 11x17 display board.

    I guess if there ever was a fantasy issue this would be it.

    And people are paying $50 for these on ebay and $100 from the gift shop...I wonder what they will be at next year at this time and if it will be President Pence.
