Question re the WWII coins...have I missed something for many years or is this a relatively recent development...putting 2 sets of initials...for both the designer and engraver...on each side of a coin/medal?
I only noticed because the WWII silver has 4 sets of initials.
The proliferation of initials has been ongoing. It's become more common in recent years to have multiple initials. They are also increasingly "less discrete" in their placement. It's not unique to the WWII coins, but they are fairly obvious because of the very open fields on the back of those medals.

I’m waiting on the “big one” to show up so I can get it in my bag.... no luck on the coin yet either.
Man is that an awesome pic.
nice photo..
Coin club bought several -- 75th gold 1 oz on the dip.. offers to buy dried up in last 3 week
The price will come back up in next few months after all those Flippers sold theirs(probably this or next month). Once most of V75 AGE are in collector's hands, the price will go up eventually.

Looks like there are plenty of coins that need to get to market!
Looks like they have some coins to move. They should call me up and I will take all 8 of those remaining AGEs off their hands. One easy transaction and they can stop fretting about them.
I don't understand why they are having a hard time selling them. I meet with a group every morning for "forumklatsch" and I know we would be more than happy to grab the remaining inventory.
Those 8 AGE spoken for... managers , connected Washington insiders
Nonsense. Lies. Calumny.
If they wanted to distribute them to insiders, they would do it upfront not wait for the inventory to be depleted.
Lol ..would have already been sold, instead of being carried on the books.. destined to the connected... 1st struck coins?
Whenever you're done with your wild speculation, let us know.

FYI, a friend of mine told me his friend got an AGE V75 this morning.
Impressive and lucky for him. None of us even saw the V75 AGE flip available this morning. I really would like to know better how this mint order system works.

Interesting. No one here reported them flipping. Usually when someone gets one, at least someone here says they saw it but couldn’t get it in their bag or make the final purchase.

He was saying that that guy was using some sort of system to login... BOTS? don't know...

Right, but that is the part I am not understanding. I am pre-logged in with all payment information pre-logged in. I have one in the cart and ready to go. All I need is a good refresh followed by a click and click and the order should be in. Other than a bot having a better refresh rate than me, I do not see how I am going to be much behind the bot if there is a physical aspect to clicking the box by a human. I just need to see it become available, which I did not see this morning. Normally at lease a couple of us here will see the blip, which does tell how short that window is.

Sounds right to be using bots. No way that none of us didn't even see it! Or he's playing with you.

Of course I'm here, I didn't want you to be lonely... especially if gifts were distributed today. Only two hours of sleep but I had to come play the game.... time to crawl back to the Batcave for a nap.

My friend got a gold v75 on the 21st of Dec and it shipped today. She wasn’t using a bot.
I looked back and see that some at least saw if blip on the 21st. What's strange about the one who got one on the 31st is that no one even saw it blip. Like many, I've followed this every day. I've never heard of anyone getting one on a day when no one even saw a blip. That's what's so strange about the one which was snagged on the 31st.

i guess you can't buy anything else if you have one in the bag
Yes. Managed to get in an order of 5...well, until the Mint cancels it, reinstates it, then cancels it again.

Not today
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
I got a AGE, non privy. It took me about 30 seconds to check out because i was messing around with my credit card..
The silver V75 medal (about 10) flipped as did the 2020 Mint set (at least 2). I didn't see anything else.
Managed to snag 5 more V75 medals.
EOW II silver medal flipped. The 1 oz uncirculated gold eagle also flipped, first time in awhile.

Oh well...have a Happy New Year everyone...
God knows it's got to be better than the nightmare that was 2020!

Nice done! But premium is pretty high for that AGE.

Probably... He won't tell so... Well, my friend was offering him some good money once the "bots" guy receives the coin.
My friend got a gold v75 on the 21st of Dec and it shipped today. She wasn’t using a bot.
There’s where one of the two went from the mint’s inventory report this week.
He's lying.

It's still 2020 at the Mint..."So screw you all!"
Of course I'm here, I didn't want you to be lonely... especially if gifts were distributed today. Only two hours of sleep but I had to come play the game.... time to crawl back to the Batcave for a nap.
Too much time invested to give up now unless it happens to get removed from my cart.

[[Wow thought I was only gonna be the only one]]
We literally survived a pandemic...and you think the Mint is going to stop us?
Don't celebrate until you're in the endzone.
who will get the last laugh... not me, not you.... haha
until it says "sold out"... you guys keep going....
Happy New Year, still rooting for you...
