I ordered one on Oct 19, and of course, they said I'm on a waiting list. So I expect to buy at a higher price from a dealer, but I'm still hopeful that I can get it from the Mint directly. I won't pay more than twice the issue price if I have to go to a dealer.
Yep, The silver coin and the cent coins are "S" mint marks. No one asked because it was already published information.
One of mine shipped but my second one (order placed 8:50am the second day, less than 24 hrs after release) still 'in processing'. Might only get one afterall.
Thanks for the clarity on the silver coin mint mark Chuck. I had definitely seen some info regarding specs that cited the silver coin was also an S. But P it is. Thanks again!
I had to pull up old pictures of the sets of proofs that I ordered to make sure it wasn't different, but they are all P. Wish it would have been an S, then they really would draw some $$$
Sir Charlie could you give me the dimensions of the LN6? I wonder if it will fit in my safety deposit box too. L and W are all I need. CONGRATS! Can't get over how you got yours so soon. Mine's still reserved. My order number= 33177xxx0. Can you tell if that was the lowest order number in your batch that came in so soon? Thanks a lot. zeke
And indeed they are Charles. I thought the question was in regard to the more "modern" silver proofs, which as you know, are minted at the San Francisco facility....

Got my email today!! The race is on!! I think I will get it next Thursday or Friday!! I am hoping for a spot free pack. Last week I got my 2009 UNC set and it was full of bag bumps or whatever there called. Isn't that strange? Those coins aren't even supposed to be in bags. Anyways, I was gonna send em' back but my wife wanted me to keep them. I didn't send them back last Sat. and now I would have to take time off work. I guess I keep them. :whistle: Oh congrats!! Sir Charlie!! and I thought I was in a race. Cool you already got your set... Order #: 3319xxx5 - 1 Order Date: 10/15/09 Sold To: A Ship To: A Date Shipped: 10/21/09
What race guys? Just read back a few posts from earlier today... other members already have their set in hand and Sir Charlie posted pics today! READ READ READ.
