That one ounce Plat Unc. looks mighty tempting!!!
Looks like the 1/4oz returns have not been factored in.

all at 06-w levels or lower.
throw away the sales numbers on the unc-w's,
even the USM's Public Affairs Office cant explain or reconcile why they took 1500 orders for the 1/4 oz unc-w since backorder status began - and NO SUBSTANTIAL DELIVERIES have occurred of those 1500 coins since Oct 21st!! They cant confirm they have anywhere near the level of product to fill the orders they have taken.
IMO - a foul up of epic proportions.
Wonder how many of these second pass coins they have left?!
Regards, John
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!

The govt wouldnt get our hopes up for nothing, would they?
Yes. Ignorance.
No one wanted the 1995 w silver eagle or the Jackie Robinson $5 unc gold coin either. Coins that are initially unpopular can prove to be winners. Similarly, coins that are extremely popular at the beginning, and have high mintages as a result, tend to be long run losers.

Shhhh, let's keep these all to ourselves. Hopefully all that don't sell get melted next month and.......

Every one cant buy every thing they want all the time.

Amen!
Oh, you are so devilish!!!!!

WELL SAID!

I still have to disagree with this statement!
I agree that the option was not popular, but to say no one wanted this issue is a huge understatement.
IF THE US MINT DIDN'T LOSE ALL THOSE ORDERS, THAT ISSUE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE SOLD OUT!!
Maybe NUMISMATIC NEWS ought to go back and do a followup story on items they published back
in 1995 to possibly set the record straight. Lost orders were reported in the 10/24/1995 issue on
orders that were placed in April of 1995. From April 1995 to the end of the year, the mint "lost" a
lot of orders for that set. Even in the 1/9/1996 issue of Numismatic News, it was reported that the
Mint's contractor was still having problems. There were a lot of original orders placed with the mint
when the issue was released in April of 1995, and there were a lot of those orders that were
"forever lost".
