Officially 25th Sets have arrived Pic's included

Two boxes just arrived, for supposedly single sets the boxes are huge. Looks like you could fit fives sets in each box? I posted yesterday that two orders showed shipped and theweights were 4.2 and 8.2 for single sets. imageimageimage

    what a beautiful brown, looks to be only ms60 though, the rim dent costs you
  • SpeedieSpeedie Posts: 104 ✭✭
    Beautiful, just beautiful. The Mint have really outdone themselves this time. Look at the beautiful striations in the corrugated cardboard, and the luster on the packing tape. I'm going to guess that the ding in the right hand side of the obverse will knock some eye appeal points off, but still a solid PCGS MS60-62 or ANACS MS70.
  • heavymetalheavymetal Posts: 631 ✭✭✭✭
    There is great luster on the shipping tape. Proof-like? lol
  • Seriously, can any of you guys not open this box?! Glad I'm getting 2 boxes (3 and 2). One will be opened...

    Outside box deminsions and weight on a sealed box of five would be appreciated.

    Nah, that box looks improperly handled and most definitely circulated...AU58 tops.

    Think were bad?

    Maybe we should ask some help from the sports mem guys, they grade and put unopened packs in plastic holders, could we do the same for the 25th image


    They could help grade the corners and centering of tape/labels image

    Great reference...only goes to show, that all those pre sellers on eBay, with scans of their boxes, had no idea of what size these are actually being mailed out in.

    guys here is an awesome picture of a jumbo real of boxboard coming off the machine.

    yes, it starts out that big. once the quality checks are done it will be cut down. this is a special reel, too. the mill had just switched to a new system to step down the 600psi steam to 150psi steam and that drives a turbine which generates an electricity credit. very exciting.

    if any of you have any good board mill pictures or stories to share please post!!!

    Only if you hope to use a flat rate box to re-ship.

    That's why I posted the pics, the box is huge for a single set, don't you think. So to ship these back out will be a pain, no flat rate box is going to work.

    So does anyone have pics of the actual sets?? I guess we'll just have to wait to see them in PCGS/NGC holders image

    8 lbs and 4 lbs just seems way over the top for a single 5 coin Silver Eagle Set which at tops would weigh 12 oz.

    I have a report that the box of five measures 15 x 11.5 x 8.5.

    Will not fit in any USPS flat rate box.

    Don't worry about re-shipping, if we can't get them listed...

    These listings will continue to get pulled by the drones. People need to start calling Ebay customer support, and ask for a supervisor in the "Trust & Safety" dep't.

    Then ask that supervisor to contact his manager in Trust and Safety to let these be listed.

    It is Seller Risk Management dep't. that has the final say, but we can't talk to them.

    This has gotten absolutely hysterical! Nobody cares an iota about the coins. Box dimensions, shipping weight, blah, blah, blah!
    Can't wait to SEE these things!
    Good luck all.

    re-shipping sealed boxes is a concern to anyone sending in for grading. Size and weight is good information for those that like to plan.

    I am looking at their site right now and, unless I am missing something, they don't have a box that these would fit in....

    No, you will have to enter your box dimensions as a large package with the weight and calculate the postage. If you live in So Cal like me, it is reasonable. If you live on the East Coast, bust out a few Jacksons.

    Flat rate has to fit in a flat rate box! Priority is what you are thinking of.

    you can still go priority in a larger box. i always, most always use reinforced gummed brown tape anyway. if you are NOT sending registered, you don't need to cover the entire box.

    i'm up on the air about how much insurance to slap on these if they don't make it to their destination.

    Will not fit in flat rate box. I calculated four boxes of five in a single outer box mailed registered, insured for $16K would cost around $100.
    Priority mailing fee because of the weight, 50 lbs going about 5 postal zones away (65.05)
    Registered fee to include $16K insurance (37.05)
    Electronic Return receipt (1.15)

    If shipped priority without adding extra service of Registered, the insurance costs go much higher.
