Is that NGC or PCGS?

 

Jim mine is also 5:02 and # is also 3837xxxx and still in process

 

Keep your chin up. I think we'll get our orders, albeit later rather than sooner.

 

Shipped

 

Mine still reads reserved but my CC shows payment pending. Bet they get them all out this week. As for grading, I'm thinking of doing so but must join either NGC or PCGS as I want to submit myself. I prefer PCGS but there is added expense. I also feel I'd have a better chance with higher grading from NGC and I have a 2009 proof like UHF that should be graded. PCGS has no such certification. Well, I'd better decide soon!

 

mine shipped with tracking #. tracking # not showing any thing yet. move baby move !

 

wonder what last or close to last safe # is that has been posted?

 

What is a 2009 proof like UHF?

 

NGC has a certification for that very thing. It's a Ultra High Releif Gold Mint State Coin (there were no proofs) that has a very mirror like field on both the obverse and reverse. The mirror like field gives the raised portions the appearance of frostiness, thereby looking proof. If you go to Ebay and look for a 2009 UHF, you'll often see one for sale (NGC only). They carry about twice the price of a regular UHF. They are really beautiful.

 

Thanks, Steve.

 

So, the Mint is giving out tracking numbers? I was wondering as we all qualify for expedited shipping:
Shipments containing any gold or platinum United States Mint collectibles with a standard delivery option chosen will receive a complimentary upgrade to Expedited Shipping:
According to their policy, this method provides for receipt of product within 3-4 business days..

 

we should all have been upgraded to overnight shipping. but it depends when they actually ship. i think they are just printing labels right now. but hopefully soon. once they are scanned it should arrive the next day.

 

rickmp i liked your other photo better. lol

Gotta switch up once in a while, just to keep people on their toes.

 

all orders will be expedited as all over 300.00 is auto that is what the mint stated to me all along

 

I thought the same but reread rules. It does state all order over $300 gets expedited. However it says shipping, gift wrap etc aren't included in costs. Per Mint: . Gift Wrap and Shipping and Handling charges are not considered part of the Merchandise total.

So a person buying 1 unit is spending $299.95. Not sure if they would be sticklers over that 5 cents. But, that being the case, the next paragraph gets us the shipping, anyway. Here was that portion:

My tracking number is for Next Day Air Signature required. If you click on the link from the mint, it should redirect you to the UPS website. On the right hand side of the screen about half way down it should say what service it is.

 

wow...15 lbs...that seems heavy for 25 oz of coins...guess the display boxes are pretty heavy.
