Jmlanzaf your probably correct. I am still a black and white type of person. I need to see but hey If I am wrong my apologies. However I still believe in seeing the proof. I am not convinced but that’s me HARD Headed. So thank you both for your comments. I move on
Careful people as you’re contemplating buying the 70s as you might end up with one that has some flaws and you might want to make sure there is a return policy. Which is not an issue if it doesn’t bother you or you don’t want to resell it. We have seen the PCGS70 variance with the Mercury dimes and the previous Palladium eagle issue.
As far as returning your Proof to the mint for a replacement, also be careful. What one or two or three Mint employees tells you is not the gospel.
How was that graded so fast? The fastest service level has a turnaround of 6 days.
When you're a BIG CORPORATION with MONEY you get SPECIAL PRIVLEDGES!
I am going to guess its going to sell for $4,500.00
I don't know about that high but.......We ought to start a guess the price thread. With the current hysteria around these at a fever pitch $4,000 wouldn't surprise me at all. $3,500 would be a minimum don't you think?

Small flaw on the one I received. With my eye the particle appears to be metallic and gold in color.
I don't think I'd risk returning it with a sellout like this coin. You'd never get another one to replace it!
This one is really more valuable- how often does gold dust get stuck on another coin? Sorry it's not perfect.
@Gluggo said:
Looks like the first batch of the Big Boys Corporation coins got graded and they did good. 182 coins graded only 7 rejects @ 69 the rest are 70's. 175 graded 70's thats a nice percentage. Shows what happens when your a Big Corporation.
Gluggo,
Please remember the company that sent in the 100 Mercanti's #683106 that 100% were all graded 70, probably sent in (and paid for) around 200-300 coins to be graded and specified only slab and document them if PR70. The other 100-200 got returned and will be sold in OGM packaging because PR69's have little demand.
Gold miner I don’t speculate show me the paperwork. If your defending them makes me wonder who you are. Talk is C##ap. After all I might want to buy one of them OGM coins at $2000.00 only to find out their 69 garbage! I am sure they would have noted failed grading to 70's or buy at your own risk.
You need to find out how the bulk submission process works.
Anybody can get walk through service if you want to pay the premium. It is only a Matter of hours at a show.
Reading is fundamental
Was it possible to get them in time to walk them through at LB or do they have other public days besides Friday?
Normal walk-through is 2-day. By the way, MonsterCM and Wondercoin are like 20 minutes away, so they can just drop them off. Show walk-through is same day (barring certain special services). I doubt anyone got them in time for LB unless they bought them at a Mint souvenir shop.
So the public can submit in person any day and not just public Friday or are dealers not considered to be public?
Well, I have put in my "remind me" emails, text reminders, etc and nothing... Started this right away before they went on sale. Still nothing. I have been on two "chats" with the US mint and I gotta say, those folks could not find their A$$ with two hands, a map and a flashlight... I'm going to stop and move on, perhaps is just for the best..
The court jester does not play, but gently pulls the strings…
@davidk said:
Small flaw on the one I received. Just called the mint and they are sending me a label to return it and when they receive it they will send a replacement.
The flaw is a small speck about the size of a period (above the T in In God We Trust) that doesn't appear to be dust under high magnification. It looks like it may be a piece of debris that was actually struck onto the surface, or a small planchet flaw.
So it sounds like they held some back for issues like this. Has anyone dealt with this before? Is there a risk that they will get my returned coin, find that they're out of stock, and just issue me a refund even though I'd rather keep the flawed coin instead of getting a refund?
I was adamant that I'd rather keep the coin with the flaw than get a refund if they don't have a replacement to send out, and the customer service rep was certain that this would not be an issue.
Best pics that I could get:
60x magnification
120x magnification
A little more clear with some minor photo editing
Less magnification, better optics, can see the gold color better
The photo doesn't look exactly like what I see with my eye. With my eye the particle appears to be metallic and gold in color.
I would not have sent it back.
They do not hold any coins back for returns. It's extremely possible that you won't get a replacement.
@Gluggo said:
davidk if they say to keep it I would listen. I really have NO idea about the outcome of something like this. You might want to let them know that even if you return it you want a guarantee or you WANT THAT COIN BACK. You can monitor the shipment and make the instructions very clear in the paperwork about wanting THAT COIN BACK IF THEY CANNOT REPLACE. Once they get it I would even call them to make sure they know where your coin is and see if that Mint employee can walk the order back or if its impossible. I have NO idea on the operation of the mint.
As others have noted....
The people who answer the phone often times don't know much. There is absolutely zero way that they can guarantee u a coin. If they're sold out they're gone and you'll get a refund no matter what they tell you.
As far as telling them u want that coin back, that won't work either. They don't work that way. Wish u would have ran it by the forum before sending it back.
Quick question- I ordered one last Thursday before the sell out, and it's been shipped and received.
My son got a confirmed order last Friday morning, but it still shows as Processing. He called today since it's been a week and was told his order was OK, they're shipping them out as fast as they can.
In these situations, are confirmed orders generally all ultimately shipped out? Or do they end up cancelling some of them? Just trying to get an idea of how safe a confirmed order is.
I ordered one last Saturday and it is still processing and then another one on Sunday which I’ve already received. I order another one on Monday and it too is processing. Good luck figuring out the mint shipping process. Btw, all 4 coins were charged instantly and I received confirmation emails for all 4.
So if you ordered more than one and your having problems getting all 3 or 7 coins I doubt tour going to have much sympathy from those that were not able to order one. I may be wrong. It I have sympathy for you all.
@Gluggo said:

I’m not asking for sympathy and anyone could have done the exact same thing to get one that I did. I see nothing wrong with selling 3 to get 1 free to keep or if anyone got 30 to sell for all profit.
Gluggo- I bought mine when it first went on sale and had agreed in advance to sell it to Wondercoin. Ordered in Florida, my CC. I kept my bargain with Mitch, we had a deal. It worked out great for him, which is as it should be. He took the risk. I got what I had agreed to get.
After seeing the quick sellout and the jump in price, I let my son know he could make a profit if he could get a coin ordered last Friday. Ordered in England where he goes to school, his credit card. He got one.
He told his brother in law to try this week, and he got one Wednesday in Arkansas, his CC.
Only because of the BST do I even know that the Mint sometimes keeps selling sold out coins at 7:30 am eastern on the next few following days, so that's the only reason my son and his brother in law got orders in.
I try to be a moral guy, keep my deals, wait in line. The limit is one per household, and we got three coins in three households. They were on sale at noon last Thursday to anyone anywhere. They've been on sale most mornings since at 7:30 on the dot, at least one day for longer than the first day, per the BST thread. Maybe tomorrow there will be some.

My first one had a big fat fingerprint on the obverse. How the heck does that happen? Thankfully it came off with acetone.
A Bernie supporter in Alaska - a rare breed indeed!

I was able to. Not sure it will ship. I have several just processing.
Me too...I called them today and they wanted to verify my billing address...I have 2 in processing and 2 that I’ve received.
Don't quote me on that.
I have 3 for sure. 2 should arrive today, one yesterday. I have several more processing. Fingers crossed!
