I just opened my first bag and completely struck out. Not sure if I am gonna open the other bag. The dates on the both boxes were 8/26/26.
That is a bummer. For all those that scored very high numbers in their bags, that means many bags of zero are destined. Still waiting for my bags to arrive and hoping they are not void of privy. I hope your second bag works out for you, however you choose to go with it.

Well...I decided to pull the trigger and open the last bag and finally got one, not in the greatest condition either. Oh well, that makes it a grand total of two privies which includes the other two rolls that I received a few weeks back.

I will say these are very tough to get high grades in.I cherry picked those 81,and submitted the 21 best.I am still happy to get this 66.Sorry for not being PCGS on this board though.

Congratulations! Nice grade, My bags are due to come in 10/2.

66 is a great grade for CACG. I send my first two privies to them. Both came back 65. I was happy with that, as I thought they could go 64.
I'm really glad that I was finally able to score a few bags this morning and be able to at least participate in the privy hunt! I upsettingly missed out on the 9/20 order window since I had a table at a card show that morning and really needed to get some sleep.
From the two rolls that I opened, I would guesstimate that maybe 5–8 of them were MS 65, possibly one 66? I plan to send all of my previes in for grading - no matter the condition, although I think they are at least 64–65.
Also, finally received the two back ordered bags today which I will not be able to open until my son comes over next week because one of the bags is his and we plan to open them together and split any privies down the middle, to keep it fair for both of us. I’m really looking forward to opening these bags with my son because we don’t get a lot of quality time together. I think he is excited. He’s not actually a coin collector. He collects baseball cards and used to have a little baseball card shop when he was younger. I’m trying to teach him more about coins. He is 54 and more interested in the stock market than coins.
I got 8 privy coins out of 250 total. I sold 6, which much more than covered the cost of both bags and both rolls. I’ll probably be wishing I’d sold them all a year from now.

Bags and Rolls available this morning...
My morning bag orders already have tracking numbers assigned. Hope nobody is still on back order. (These were both bags and rolls ordered at 7:22 AM)
My orders from this morning also have tracking numbers assigned (includes bags and rolls). That's interesting because I still have a couple of orders for rolls that are backordered (older orders than today)

Yes, same here. I have 3 rolls still on Back order from 9/24, but have 2 rolls from that same day that shipped yesterday.
Got an order in this morning as well around 4:25am Pacific for a few bags marked as shipped with tracking in my order history! Let's hope for lots of privys!
The OP finally got his backordered box of 2 bags. I'm tempted to open them but I promised to do an unboxing video at SurfinxHI's Beachcomber Coins in Kaneohe, HI tomorrow.

You mentioned "absolutely banger Hobos" in a now closed thread.
Being a betting man I would wager the counterstamps are going to be more..... insightful? Is that the correct word to use?
And will our host grade one? They have certainly graded many counterstamped coins in the past.
They will grade as "damaged"
Is that a fact? or are you assuming, hoping that is the case.

Such arrogance.
That is a fact. If you counterstamp a Trump coin, they will grade it as damaged. Since you don't believe me, ask PCGS yourself.
Some "official" counterstamps are marked C/S. But random counterstamping of coins won't result in straight grades.
If you think I'm wrong, feel free to do your own research.

What time have they been coming available? I check usually every morning and haven’t seen them flip
7:22am Eastern Time
Is it always the same time, or does it vary?
It's been that way for a couple of months now. It used to be at 7:30am, but they switched it to 7:22am at some point. There's always a chance they are late, or will try to mix things up at a different time. But mostly it's been running at 7:22am

The change from 7:30 to 7:22 happened right after the Silver Liberty bells led to heavier BOT activity in the mornings trying to get those bells to flip. The Mint worked through the issue with a lot of headaches for those trying to get in legitimately to check orders, etc.

Kinda hurts but at least you got a couple. The reports seem to be either feast or famine. At least there is proof of privy in the backorder bags. I'm still waiting for my Bags to arrive.
Well... I received four bags today. Two bags a few minutes before the 30 minute ordering mark are dated 08-24-26. Two bags a few minutes after the 30 minute ordering mark are dated 09-03-26.
First time ordering bags. When I had inquired about rolls vs bags in the past, I was told there isn't much difference for quality. When I picked up the package, I could hear the coins jingle together within the box, so I think rolls are the way to go for quality.
I opened one of the 8/24 boxes. Zero privies. One thing I noticed, these coins are beat up much more than the rolls I had opened earlier. I have coins that would probably grade MS 60/61. The best grades out of the 100 might be half dozen in MS64/65. I would expect most to grade about MS62/63. Definitely nothing I would call a keeper. Overall, the coins from the rolls were better quality than this bag.
Three more boxes to open, hopefully my luck changes.

there aren't enough coins in those bags to cause the gouged bag marks. the bags can produce hairline abrasions. however - anecdotally - some recent pics of coins from the bags hasn't shown any hairlines

I saw plenty with scrapes/small rub and minor type marks. As far as the large gouges, you are right, those are not occurring while in the bag. Those must have happened with being dropped into or out of the ballistic bags.
The one thing I was wondering, the rims are not that sharp, yet there are some large deep sharp gouge marks on the face of the coins that came from somewhere. There shouldn't be anything else making the marks so they must be rim dings from a large fall/impact. It is interesting to see that the obverses are much more marked up than the reverses.
I have not opened the other three bags yet to see more quality comparison. But the bag I opened versus the three rolls I opened were noticeably different in marks. Maybe my bag came from the bottom of a ballistic bag or something. Maybe there is more pouring and handling for bagging versus rolling. I don't know, it's just an observation.

I just opened my first bag and completely struck out. Not sure if I am gonna open the other bag. The dates on the both boxes were 8/26/26.

I've got a couple bags in boxes from 6 hours earlier, same day. I remain cautiously optimistic, but I do not want to get skunked.
Pop Report as of September 30, 2026.
Well folks, we got our first 67's of the Trump $1 privy.....2 of the First Strike attribution.
Those 67's should command a nice price it would seem at this point.
We are also seeing our first 62's and one lowly 61 of the non-privy Trump $1.

Could you please provide info on the date/time on the boxes? Sorry if I missed it earlier.

They were available for about 3-4 minutes before selling out. Unsure how many were available.

Both bags dated 9/2
Time stamp 11:01 and 11:04
