I know they don't guarantee perfection though I haven't seen any others like this. I plan on sending it back and trying to get a replacement.
Mine arrived today. No privy, but my example looks clean, at least MS69. Texas to Maine only took 2 days!
Mine arrived yesterday (the 18th) instead of Monday like tracking said. Not a Privy though, unfortunately.

Arrived. No privy park for me. And the strike appears to me to be a very deep relief. I am quite pleased.
I got mine. I put my order in 1 minute after opening (12:01 PM ET). No privy mark (thus no signed COA either). I don't know how large the demand was, but if it's first come, first serve, then there were at least 1,794 medals purchased before me (in total, whether it was all during that first day of online sale, and/or if some medals were reserved for sale through other mediums). Anyway, it would be interesting to know if anyone here received a privy mark, and how soon their orders were placed after the online store opened.
Congrats! One of the lucky few. I'm wondering, did you place your order within a minute of it opening up for sale? And, any luck on getting the signature on the COA?
I didn't get an email announcement. But I saw a posting on Facebook. This is likely the closest I'll ever get to owning a Flowing Hair, so I just went online and placed the order at about 2pm on the 15th. I got an immediate acknowledgement and on Thursday I got a shipped notice. The coin came with a five-fold pamphlet and the last page has the preprinted signature. I may have these photos out-of order.
For a sec, I thought you got the signature one, too. That would've been awesome lol. Apparently, the signature is right behind the flowing hair of the COA and it's numbered out of 230. Here's one example I found online: And, it sounds like it was a lottery system. That may have already been stated by the US Mint, and your details confirm that at the very least, it wasn't a first come, first serve setup. Congrats again!
