    Got 3. Price difference of $4 just means $12 (which was over 50% of them in the past).
    Would hate to see silver keep going up...and these go up to $30...and me not having any.....

    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 only buy one of these a year for my own collection, and I did that again today image

    I stopped collecting these so no. Until the milk spot issue goes away I will only accumulate if I can get them close to spot.

    Does the burnished "W" also get milk spots, or is that just the regular bullion ones? Just curious, thanks, Rob

    I ordered my usual 5.

    What gets to me is that they won't be available until 4/2. Hope silver is $30/oz then.
    Can't the Mint anticipate sales, and have enough packaged up & at the fulfillment center, to handle the initial demand?

    Just a crappy way to run a business! IMO

    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    Yep, they all do. Proof, burnished and circ.

    I agree John, I still have the 2007 Annual dollar set's B/O since December. I have purchased some off the BST board Just in case they delete them.

    I won't argue that, as a customer, I would wish things were better, but I have seen plenty of businesses do a "build to order" and not base starting sales on having in stock inventory. I won't worry that much. Especially since I am buying these from the collector's side of things and not as a dealer. No money is tied up, really, until they ship. Your card isn't charged, you can cancel anytime if something comes up that you need the money for, etc.

    With all the mint has going on (and that is MY pet peeve with them), waiting a few weeks is not a big deal. You get one of the best guarantees/return policies in the numismatic world with the USMint, so sometimes you have to accept the good and the bad.

  • Slow me down? Yes. Stop me? No. Smart decision? Only time will tell...

    I just ordered 30 more just in case something happens. It could not be such a loser in any case.
