    Is this thing on Backorder yet?

    Might get a proof, but not too concerned about it yet.

    If I order it will be combinded with a future order, unless I hear that there is a "Reset" type error with the braille writing.

    This coin is offered in an easy-to-open capsule for those who wish to experience the tactile features on the coin.

    Interesting. I think I will go ahead and buy one of each, what the heck....

    I ordered one of each and a couple of silver qtr proof sets. I was in and out of the site in 5 minutes after logging in a little after noon. It was, by far, the quickest purchase experience at the Mint site in about two years. Based on this, I assume interest in this issue is low.

    actually ordering the penny rolls was a bit slower than this even.

    Why would you say milk spots? I have ordered commems over the last 25 years and never once had a problem with spots.

    Wow, little interest in this issue from what I see here. My first "Offical" thread goes down in flames. image

    Do we have another 1996 D Olympics Paralympics in the making?

    All in all, I like it.

  • AH of course, easy open so people can touch them ! hahaha this will definitely be a winner down the track in MS70, right ?

    I wonder how many will touch them. The easy open should have been advertised on the order pages so people think to buy it, I was wondering why there was an easy open

    The sales figures for this one will be intriguing..

    I don't like how the coin looks, and don't understand the purpose of having a collector braille coin -- especially a proof. Proof coins aren't meant to be touched.

    A proof coin for the blind makes about as much sense as marketing a song for the deaf.

    Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    These coins were not available for ordering until 12pm on the 26th, which would be noon. This happened with a friend recently
    & his order stated that the coins were ordered at 12am. His were shipped earlier than mine & ordered later.


    What's going on???

    Ordered mine on 3/28. Received all (Pr. & Unc.) but one on 4/30. The special Open cap Unc. is on B/O.

    Just checked eBay & there are 112 NGC graded Braille coins up for auction & not one PCGS. NGC 69's going for under $50....70's for about $70.....no profit margin in NGC graded coins for this series

    I received my 5 proofs yesterday and they are going back to PBGS today. 2 coins were cloudy & the other 3 coins had a scratch below the E ( ONE ) on the reverse. Not going to mess with this series.image
