2010 Proof Silver Eagles

I have a standing subscription for 2.
They billed my account yesterday.
Generally they don't take your money until the order is heading out the door.

I recieved a notice earlier this month that there was an issue with the order
and it may be cancelled. About a week later I got a notice that the first notice
was sent in error. Then I got a notice that the coins were running late and mine
were on "backorder" until further notice...

I think they have been having all sorts of issues trying to rush these things.
If I get my 2, I'll be happy.

@the person on page one of this thread saying that ASEs have no collector market:
Wrong. They are widely collected as they are U.S. legal tender. There is tremendous
numismatic interest in all forms of ASE... I keep mine in Danscos with all my other
U.S. coinage. I have never heard anyone suggest they were not a collectible item
until today!

Gorgeous!
Work of art.

Btw: Do you collect yours for numismatic interest, or are they just another piece of 'bullion' for you?
I noticed someone at the beginning of this thread deriding folks for suggesting people collect ASEs for something other than bullion.

 

Thanks...I certainly like it being 1 oz of silver but I do collect them for the numismatic value. I have a full set of the MS silver eagles and I full set of the proof silver eagles certified. Just love the mirror on the silver proof eagles. One of most beautiful designs the US Mint has ever put out in my opinion.

 

You have a full set proof?
LUCKY!

I have a full set BU and 'Burnish', including the 08/07w.
I am now working on the proofs. I only have common issues right now.
I won't consider it complete though until I have even the reverse proof and the 95w!
Gonna take a while!
fwiw: I don't buy any coin based on investment. I collect to collect, and sometimes it's a good time to collect silver, and sometimes it's not a good time to collect silver coins. I have been working on my nickel books quite a bit lately!

 

My brother-in-law "collects" ASE proofs by date. I believe he has a full set in NGC PF70UCAM. The proofs are way more than bullion. "Regular" strike ASE are just nice bullion to me. The ASE proofs are a different story.

 

The site still says available for shipping 11/26. Mine still says instock and reserved with no ship date. I expect that to change today.

Step back several posts... already been posted and in discussion in this thread.

 

I have two separate orders in and both have been shipped. When I click on the tracking link it comes up "not found" on the FEDEX site.

 

When were they supposedly shipped? Sometimes it takes a day or two for the information to show up in the FDX tracking system.

 

I got emails on the 24th from the mint saying they were shipped. My account on the site confirms that but its when I click on the link that it says 'not found" You're probably correct though.

 

Give it another day or two and the tracking info should show up. That is, if the F'ers scan it into the system. Back in August my subscription for silver proofs showed "shipped" but when I tracked it nothing popped. Days went by and I became worried that maybe the shipment was lost, but low and behold it shows up on my door step one day. Two days after the package arrived I plugged the tracking numbers again into the FDX tracker and still nothing popped. To this day there's no indication of the package ever being delivered. Tempting.....mighty tempting. But karma would get me. LOL

 

I thought so.

 

It seems the transition from FedEx to USPS local delivery has transpired... 'left the FedEx facility' (in Edison, NJ)... now there's no way of tracking the final leg of my order(s) journey, could be today, tomorrow of Monday as estimated for delivery. The wait goes on...

 

Shipped!
Tracking number with Fedex.

 

you folks are lucky, my order status now say's it is reserved with no ship date.

 

Mine did too until just now. Keep check on it today and tomorrow and if it doesn't change then start getting worried.

 

I'm not worried, it will ship at some point.

 

Mine are a 2 hour drive away! Wonder how long it will take the USPS to deliver though? Hopefully tomorrow, but I won't hold my breath......

 

I'm almost in the same boat as you. My package is about 1.25 hours away. I called FedEx and they weren't helpful at all. Just told me my expected delivery date (which I new) but could not tell me if my package had been turned over to USPS. Friggin government didn't even need to involve FedEx. Straight USPS shipping would have gotten it to me tomorrow. Damned goobermint accountants always seem to think that they have to contract from an outside source. They don't even trust themselves.
