    Just a word of caution for those selling opened sets...The buyer expects a "perfect set of coins" and apparently will get upset if the set arrives to them with the coins out of the holes or otherwise rolling around...or will get upset if you don't screen each and every coin for them...

    I'm kinda peeved, I got an email late Friday 11/11 that my order had shipped, no updates of course all weekend long and tracking numbers did not work. I check today an UPS has a date of 11/14 for the label being created, but no further shipping details- looks like the mint lied to me!

    I had a 3:38 order ship today...and a friend has a 4:30 order still backordered.

    Does anyone know the latest order to ship today?

    << <i>Notsure:

    it's deliver by 10:30, not at 10:30, So they can come anytime before that, next time, you can expect them about the same time, as they have a schedule and route that would be about the same. >>



    egger, you are right, it did say BY 10:30 (the facility is about 2 miles from my home). Due to my ability to sleep in (for once), I miswrote in my previous post (was still wiping the cobwebs out when I wrote it.....thank goodness for the dog being a little protective when people come up the stairs, or I'd have had to rearrange delivery, which would have killed me if I missed 'The Man').

    They told me mine would ship on the 14th, but it shipped on the 11th!
    I'll come up with something.

    Are people on ebay getting upset if sealed sets in boxes have loose coins? Even though it's out of the seller's control?

    Not so long as we continue to propagate the myth of "first strikes" and "early releases" and other nonsense. Think about it. The mint said it could not be sure all bullion coin in the sets were struck in San Francisco and PCGS promptly declared that they wouldn't holder them with the (s) as planned. Because they couldn't be "sure."

    On the other hand, the mint emphatically stated that there was no order in which they sent out coins after being struck, yet the TPG's continue to label them for a fee (which for whatever reason, is MORE than the cost of grading.)

    Something very similar happened with baseball cards, and it killed the hobby. >>



    Very well stated, and the killing the card hobby should be taken very serious for us coin pushers. Unfortunately the writing is on the wall, we either change it or crash.

    Received my Box O' 5 today. Ordered at 1410 EST 27 Oct.
    UPS guy said, "It must be ammo right?" "Yes sir", I replied.
    Now to grade or not to grade? To FS or not to FS? To spend more money to just receive 69's?
    Sometimes I wish I never got through.

    EDIT: Or just sit on them and in 20 years sell, I'll be the only with an unopened Box O' 5.

    Well I've seen 20 sets and my impressions were I was glad I didn't submit them blindly because I would have wasted a lot of money!! Nice stuff but not PCGS 70 material. Good luck if so submit blindly cause you and a lot of others are going to need it.

    Just pack the coins themselves seperately from the box then no issue with coins becoming loose from their slots.

    If you open the box then why wouldn't you make sure that the contents are secure and free from movement upon reshippng? Kinda effen dumb to repeat the mint's carelessness.

    The chances of a complete 70 set out of a Box O' 5 is slim, very slim, Jay Jay Walker slim.
    Would my chances increase if I went with the REGULAR, EXPRESS or WALKTHROUGH versus the MODERN service?
    More spent on fee's looser standards?

    And you know this how? Did someone return a set you sold.

    By the way. I put in my listing that I added extra filling inside the box to keep from that happening. When I shipped, I added some foam to keep the coins in their holes.

    I think the only time when the label is important is for these anniversary sets. That provides assurance that the coins you are buying were from the sets sold from the mint.

    The OGP is SO fantastic with these sets that I think it's a shame to grade them.

    That said, I would like to have the RP and the 11S in 70. Besides those two coins, I could care less about having any of the others graded.

    Between the 10 sets that I've had access to, I think that I have at least one RP (likely 2 or 3) and one 11S which will make 70. They're headed to our host tomorrow.

    The other two cherry-picked sets are staying raw in the fantastic OGP. This set just looks so nice as issued!

    Coins popping out of their containers and capsules during transport [and this being due to sloppy packaging] has been an off and on problem for a number of years dating back to the 2006 20th Anniv set and some of the SF Old Mint commem coins.

    I would be willing to pay more than $4.95 for shipping if the Mint used better packing (no folded paper bags), special made box, and better tape, possibly taper-resistant tape. There is a definite disconnect in their approach to shipping items. To make a beautiful set and to have shipped the way they do is not showing a lot of concern and interest to their customers.

    I had quite a few loose coins in my box from the Mint. I decided to go ahead and open it up. All of the loose ones were thankfully in their holders. But a pronounced rim ding on one of my 2011-S really has me depressed. Nothing I can really do with it.

    It seems like 3 coin sets without the S and reverse are going for $175, the S is going for about $325 and the reverse proof about $400 or all in all you can fetch about $900 per set by breaking them up into 3 pieces. Take out the 2 best of everything and submit them to ngc or pcgs and go for a 70 set. If you get a 70 set sell it for $3000 and if the other set is a 69 sell it for $1000 and sell your 3 broken up sets for $900 each which all in and all nets you $6700 minus grading and ebay fees. This just might be the start of escalating crazy prices.
