I am for sure!!!!

 

I'm going to be at school on the computer during lunch with my mom's credit card number (I will pay her back of course)

 

Not me. I have made the last of my coin collection purchases, and after 50 years of enjoyment with Coins, Medals and Tokens, I am calling it quits and making arrangements to liquidate some items and make other decisions for dispersing the balance of my collection. Happy Collecting.

 

Register with the Mint.gov ahead of time for an account it speeds up check out if the info is preloaded on days of high activity. And yes am registered and might get a couple of sets.

Added note that if you click on the date of the release in the link above you can put a reminder on your calender.

 

I hope I will be able to get one though I guess it depends on the price...

 

STILL NO PRICE...

 

I"ll be here waiting
Do know what time?

 

All releases are at noon Eastern time zone.

 

This would be a nice set to own. Some are saying the mintage may be limited to 100k. I might be interested depending on how greedy they are on the price. These will probably be flipped on ebay for decent profit the next day.

I think it'd be nice if they added a small 25th anniversary logo to all of them to identify them when the sets get broken up. Like what they do with the Canadian maple leafs.

 

I will be at work, I sure wish that the mint would institute a lottery for these highly anticipated issues, that way those of us whose work would get a fair shot.

 

I will have the flu that day and I'm calling in sick.
I will start feeling better around noon though.......:devil:

 

I have no interest.
Most of my coin budget is aimed at 19th century items.

But I have often thought that the Mint should take orders for any of their new issues ahead of time.
Set a ordering window of about one month so that there's not an ordering crush like there is now.
Order as many as you like.
Then when the ordering window closes the Mint knows how many to strike.
Add about 10% (or ?) to the production count for returns of damaged items.

Now the tough part.
The Mint will require a "low end, best guess" initial amount be paid with the understanding that shipping will be made upon payment of whatever extra amount the Mint deems correct to cover their final price.
(Because of the gap between ordering and production, the volatility of the price of bullion precludes determining the final price until the metal for production is actually in hand at the Mint.)
There will be a penality ($) for people who made an initial order, but then didn't fork over the rest of the price. That penality will be taken from their initial payment and whatever remains will be refunded.

Marketing and financial considerations are DEFINITELY not one of my strengths.
But I think something could be made of my suggestion.

 

God willing, I'll be tuned to this station and the mint web site on the 27th at 12PM.

 

I won't be buying any last minute Halloween Candy!
