NNNooooooOOOOOOOOoO, YOu can't ask that... Wait, let me rephrase that... Don't look a gift horse in the mouth!!! Everyhting that I've read that he has posted even 6 months ahead of time has turned out 100% correct...
That's for sure. ND has about the most accurate info you can get from anyone on Mint issues. Much more so than any Mint personnel you will get on the phone. He could tell you but......
Well OK, we'll see one way or the other soon I guess. Still, no offense to ND86 or anything, but without knowing where the information is coming from I have no idea whether ND86 is, or has access to, an actual authoritative source of information, or is just an extremely lucky guesser. I'd much prefer an actual press release from the Mint or the words of an actual Mint employee (who is in high enough of a position to know such things) than just an "ND86 said so" argument, when I have no idea what his credentials or sources of information are. Someone can be right 999,999 times in a row and still be wrong the millionth time, a track record isn't by itself proof of anything but probability. He may very well be right, and I'm even willing to concede that he probably is, given his track record, but until I see proof that his is definitely right, I won't concede that I'm definitely wrong. Especially when I have the word from people whose enitre job is to know what coins are for sale and when that the sets won't contain the presidential dollars (they may very well be mistaken of course, but I'd rather rely on the word of someone whose credentials I know that of somebody whose real name I don't even know. Again, no offense to ND86.) Anyway likely to be a moot point in about two months time or so anyway, lol...
IMHO people whose entire jobs are about coins wont know what happenes at the mint they just talk about coins and if its their job they dont do it properly. If ND86 says something then thats it no if's or but's for me. It is tomorrow being told to us today again its my opinion and people dont have to agree with it. I say its an honor and a privelege to get advice from ND86. He has always helped people in times of need and if ND86 wishes to remain unknown then we should respect his privacy again no offense to anyone but i belong to the ND86 said so club. way to go ND86 keep the advice coming
Yea, I'm with that.... I would not mind knowing, but I will repect his wishes and privacy if he wants his identity and souce of insight kept unknown... Fine with me as long as he keeps comming around and doing what he does...
Well no offense to ND86, but I just don't believe in appeal to an unknown authority. I'll be the first to freely admit to being wrong if and when it's proven I am, but until then I'll hold my reservations. I appreciate ND86's advice as much as anyone else here, but I'm not going to treat it as gospel without knowing what his source of information is. I'll just leave it at that... again no offense to ND86, but I'm not going to join the "ND86 said so" club unless and until I find out where he gets his info... a perfect or near perfect track record isn't good enough for me; I hold all information anyone gives me to the same standard; unless it comes from as known reliable source I still consider it to be purely speculative.
nd86 i think nd86 is an u s mint employee or first hand publishing employee. he get correct or fastest information about mint products. anyway, i thank him for those updated and correct info. a good job. now i need to know the 2007 silver and clad proof set. is that only one kind of it. like 14 pc a set. and how much would it cost?. both silver proof set and clad proof set. and when it come out?. and why prez dollar 4 pc proof set is quite expensive?. because the packaging and plastic case is different from silver and clad proof set?.
That information is like top secret as of today. I was at the Mint today talked to contacts and could not squeeze any real date except SPRING out of some of the reg employees I know there. By the time we get the the date it will be posted on the mint web site.:headbang: :desk:
As long as Ive been a member here ND86 has been 100% correct, 100% of the time, who really cares who his source is. He's always been very generous with his information about whats going on at the mint as far as release dates and so on. So be thankful theres someone willing to share the information they know, he doesnt have to do it, but he does because he knows we help each other in here. Thats all that matters to me.
Yes I know but I did try to pry it out of them the real date LOL I even asked the Fed Police there Isee all the time LOL was in the admin office could not get the answer. I got feeling they may not know the answer
They are currently up to at a little over 100K Pres Proof sets per week and only have 200K produced and shipped so far. Still debugging... More to come.....[/quote] Shipped where to the Fulfillment center ?
Thanks ND86 for the info. I ordered a set through the mints subscription program and now have a better idea when they'll be coming out other than the generic time frame the mints web site gives us. I for one, always look forward to your posts. Kevin
I'm a dues paying member of the "ND86 is always right" fan club and unless he is ever proven wrong,I'll take his info as gospel.Just my opinion. I'm also a big fan of Troodon!
