Yes, I expect that making a profit on these might turn out to be harder work than some imagined. Not impossible, but not huge piles of easy money. Timing will be key.
Got an order in at 7:30 for the ASE. Also placed an order for the Tuskegee Quarters at 7:32. In 2 minutes there were 164 orders placed according to my order #s.
I was always under the impression that when the Mint designates an official release date, that's when the coin is issued to everyone - individuals and dealers. That is obviously not the case if HSN sent the coins to ANACS 3 days before official release date.
Even though there was a 99 HHL on Feb.11 release date, HSN was able to get 945 prior to the release date. So, they were able to circumvent the release date as well as HHL.
Too bad you mega flippers couldn't get your load before the release date.

No wonder these flew out the door...they're now going for $499.99 (for the easily deluded) for PR70 (marked on the slab as Advanced Release...whatever that means?) on TV.
Crazy but still...
Those were the coins that were pick up from the distribution center on Monday Feb 8th and were delivered to NGC for grading prior to noon on Feb 11th.

I had ONE in my cart but by the time I hit the last button they were gone.
Glad everyone got multiple orders in that they may or may not cancel.
LOL. Just one big order.
I have no interest in canceling. But I have over 300 on order and I could easily blow them out at around $100 each. That's a $5000+ net profit. But if they wait a month to ship them so the price is back down to $73, then I'm just scrambling to break even.

Duh....you would lose money at $73😂🤣
Duh...no, that's what I paid. You're assuming there are costs associated with my sale when there need not be...other than gas to get to the dealer.
Ok...🙄. Please share how you got free shipping for your 99 coin orders so everyone can take advantage of that if they choose to do so.

I got the same e-mail in early January. Then I got another e-mail the next day saying that it was a mistake because the free shipping program begins fresh in January and will start after 3 purchases. The same mistake happened last year, too.
Man, there's some weird stuff happening with (at?) the Mint for me.....I've had a subscription for 4 Proof ASE's for years. Yesterday, I got 2 notifications from the Mint for 2 'orders shipped' notifications, as well as 2 shipping notifications, 1 from UPS, 1 from USPS, for TWO shipments of proof ASE's. There are 2 completely separate orders in my order history, using 2 completely different shipping methods. My usual 4 had an order date of 2/10 (how's that happen?), with the second order being for 3, and ordered 2/11. But, I never made this second order. Quite frankly, with my subscription, I paid it no never-mind. I never signed on to the mint's site on 2/10, 2/11, 2/12, 2/13.....not until yesterday. My card was dinged for each order. My usual 4 shipped Priority on 2/12 (obviously I'm not a priority, as I've still not received these). The second order for 3 shows they shipped 2/12, UPS 2nd Day Air ($17.95 for that seems cheap), and they're 'out for delivery' today! Short of my account being hacked, anyone have anything like this happen? And, how can an item get ordered 1 day before they actually go on sale??? I'm baffled.......
edit to add......they just arrived, brought them in off the front porch......this is super-weird

This is pretty funny. I wish they had emailed me several v75 eagles!
I’m fairly certain that subscriptions are mailed early.
It must be the benefits of clean living for @NotSure - I too have had a subscription for a number of years, but my ASE’s are still sitting in the processing status and haven’t moved an inch since 2/11
@jmlanzaf
Good luck on the position in ASE proofs you’ve acquired, I’ve been there before, sometimes it works out and sometimes you get slaughtered. I just don’t get the good feeling with these W proofs—IMO take the money and run

Googled 2021-W ASE Advance Issue and found this.
HSN sent 945 to ANACS on the 8th.....
If other vendors had this same "privilege", that may explain why it sold out so quickly.
HSN is selling their "Advance Issue" for $379 plus $13 shipping.
I was always under the impression that when the Mint designates an official release date, that's when the coin is issued to everyone - individuals and dealers. That is obviously not the case if HSN sent the coins to ANACS 3 days before official release date.
Listen at the 3:00 mark....
Advance Release is verified by ANACS.
Even though there was a 99 HHL on Feb.11 release date, HSN was able to get 945 prior to the release date. So, they were able to circumvent the release date as well as HHL.

for the 2020 uncirculated coin sets they did not process the subs any earlier, but historically subs are processed a day earlier than the masses.
It must be the benefits of clean living for @NotSure - I too have had a subscription for a number of years, but my ASE’s are still sitting in the processing status and haven’t moved an inch since 2/11
Mine is still “Processing “ ......does it normally take this long?
Normally is not a term that you want to try to ascribe to the behavior of the US Mint..

Says it all
Item Number: 21EA
Mintage Limit: None
in for 5, would have rather seen a V75 ASE
I managed to snag one this morning. Barely.
Picked up another 5 this morning.
Still available this morning, just for about a minute tho.
Damn, I should check their website, maybe they ordered/paid/shipped another order for me.
Anyone get one of these email messages from the Mint today??
@Goldbully
yes, I did get that very email. I’m not surprised about the delay.
I got that email from the mint.
I was already expecting delays. glad they sent an email to confirm it.
