  Why not buy from the Mint while they are available?

  I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  I don't understand the question. Like Rerun said, just order it directly from the Mint.

  I get mine from the mint every yr. Usually order them with something else, as shipping is still $4.95.

  It amazes me that anyone buying a 2007 proof ASE would even consider buying a presale one. Are that many people still unaware that they can buy direct from the mint?

  I would, and have, bought mine direct from the mint.
  
  Why would anyone want to pay a eBay premium for a coin(s) they can get from the source

  My question is how did someone get them in hand so quick. My order went through a week ago and I have called but it has not shipped yet.
  
  Oh and if it is cheaper but just have to wait, why not.

  I guess this answers the question about the subscription vs ordering on the day of release, I orderd at 2pm on the 27th, received at 10am on the 30th, anybody get there subscriptions yet?
  
  BTW: the mint is now in back order until the 12th of April, if that date holds.

  Oops, just checked and it says my units shipped today.
  
  Did you do express mail or regular mail? Mine will be registered mail which might be why it took so long. Good thing they can drop ship to PCGS so I don't have to pay additional shipping fees.

  How do you do that without filling out the PCGS paper work?

  For the bulk department you have to notify them with tracking info and fax or e-mail in the paperwork
