    Scotto I collect what I like

    I have on good authority that the 2006 Franklin Commems have been received by some and are slowly being delivered. Unfortunatly I am not one of the lucky. Anybody else here got theirs?

    Just got mine yesterday! Ordered one of each, except the C&C.

    Looks like the C&C are backordered. If your order included them, you won't recieve them until they are ready to ship.I didn't think about the fact that you won't get any of your coins until the stamp set is ready, and that wouldn't be until AFTER the proof and uncirc. coins were ready to ship. The coin dealers on this site don't tell you that, so those of us who don't invest thousands didn't get clued in on this little 'secret'. Well, now you know, and you know what to do for next time. Two seperate orders if you include a set that part of won't be ready until after the coins are slated to release. Spread the word.

    I ordered my coins online from the mint and when I signed up there was a choice if you wanted to wait until all coins on your order were in stock before shipping or you could have them shipped as they became available.
    I received all my singles already with the Coin and Chronicles still on backorder. Call the mint to have them change your preference.

    I got my proofs on Friday and sold them on Monday. I hated to part with them, I think they look great, but I figure I can replace them later. I hav'nt got my unc,s yet , I expect them today or tomorrow.

    sales

    Yep I sold them on my first foray on ebay(with some help). sold the 2 proofs together for $140. I will probably try and sell my unc,s when they get in, and replace my proofs in a year or so. I really like the proofs a lot, but needed the money to cover some other purchaces.

    Franklins arrived

    :smile Hi All,
    My order arrived today via fedex. All of the order with the exception of the chronicle sets arrived. The sets are backordered till 5/22, according to the website. The proofs look much nicer than the uncs, in my opinion. Probably will either trade or sell my extra sets. It'll be interesting to follow the values now that the coins are being released.

    I ordered 2 Sets of the Following via a Pre-Sale on Ebay....

    BN1: Came today :)
    BN2: Did not come today :(
    BN3: Came today :)
    BN4: Not sure why I did not order this one.... Musta been on Crack that day....

    However, from what I have seen on both sets of my BN1s and BN3s, I'm happy with mine so far...

    I plan on keeping mine.... If they go though the roof, I might sell a set, but I doubt it... I'd rather hang onto them...
