    This is a WOW zer!!!!

    No sales today over $6000 that I see. The last two were $5500 and $5825

    Also, that one shows Best Offer Accepted on my search.

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/American-Eagle-2021-Gold-Proof-4-Coin-Set-21EFN-WEST-POINT-W-CONFIRMED-/313620678337?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

    Here’s one over $6000 today.

    Odd, I wonder why that didn't show up on my search.

    Nope...that's the sales price - $ 7,499.99 (but it did have Free Shipping!) ;)

    Always an outlier.

    Current price looks more like $5800 to me today. I wonder if Pinehurst is still buying at +$450

    yes, yes it does. Probably explains the single bid.

    As I said, most sales between $5600 and $6000 today.

    This one will ship at $5400

    That is a historically precipitous and rapid price drop post back order. And for those that want to return, gird your loins for a long drawn out process.

    Oh, I recall my last $1200 MINT return like it was yesterday. Took over two weeks to get there, I thought it was lost, and it finally arrived and I wouldn’t have known unless I called.
    Took them another two weeks to check it in.
    Took them another two weeks after that to admit that they checked it in and then they required me to “request that they issue me a refund.”
    Two weeks later I called again and they said “oh, you were supposed to call so we can issue a refund“! Took another week and I got the refund. Whew.
    Not worth the anxiety. I will either buy a Mint something I absolutely want and will keep or I will find other means of divestiture.

    some of these listings are just__ using the word Four instead of the number 4
    (should list with both)

    I'd say the auctions are also being affected by listing incompetence.

    I never cancel. They canceled one of my 4 coin sets. I'm trying to determine why.

    No, they seem to have caught on to that one. Turns out that's why they canceled it. [Thank God! $5055 to try and make $200. I must be crazy. ;) ]

    Apologies to flippers out there but it doesn’t break my heart to see the folks who’s only interest is a quick profit do a flop.

    How do you know what anyone's "interest" is? A lot of people buy an extra hoping to offset the cost of the one for their collection.

    I'm quite happy with the outcome here.

    Somehow I was fortunate to be “in” today.....I was able to order the four coin set and a tenth ouncer. I was also “in” and able to order a one ounce as well but passed and opted for the four coin set.
    Undecided if I will send them in for grading or sell them.

    You better 💩 or get off the pot. If you don’t lock in a sell deal now the buyers will fill up. Probably not an option if you have a back ordered order and not a processing order.

    Sounds like some good advice. I have a Gold one ounce V75 graded PR70 I’m sitting on, maybe make a packaged deal .

    Just checked the Mint Website, my 4 coin set is shipping USPS First Class mail. Doesn't say if there is signature confirmation as only a label has been created at this point. You would think they would use USPS Priority, or maybe FedEx.

    As I understand it, a signature confirmation costs an extra $3.95. Did you opt for "signature required" in the "shipping & handling" field during the "checkout" process?

    It showed the 1/10 and 1/4 oz available on backorder and wouldn't let me put it in my bag. Another frustrating moment with the wonderful mint site.

    All you guys with shipping notifications must have placed your order within the first 3 minutes right ? I was done ready for coffee at 1103ct and nothing yet. That’s my typical luck with the mint. My neighbor and I both had our 3 silvers shipped the same day he has his mine went from Tennessee to Oklahoma to get to Chicago and is “scheduled “ for delivery Monday.

    Received my shipping notification last night and my order went through (by my guessestimate) at 11:02 CT.

    if the button is red and it is not going into the cart, the most likely reason is the item quickly sold out.

    None here....

    For one order, I received a ship notice - that basically just says they printed a label!

    For another order - still processing!
