Boy the US Mint could sure learn from Vault Box todays launch noon pst logged in at 10:30 to query at 12:00 215 ahead at 12:04 in and bought 3 and done by 12:06I'll post pre open weights and results later!
Got two of 'em pretty quick, but inquired if they could ship together to save a couple of scheckels on the shipping. They replied (promptly, to their credit) that all orders ship separately. Not sure if you could order multiples in one order. Now we wait.
How does Mega Chase work? Each bag will contain a PCGS-certified Jamaica 1/2 Penny recovered from the World Trade Center. Your 1/2 Penny will either be in a standard WTC label or in a Red Core VaultBox label. If you got a Red Core, continue on to step 3! (Reminder: VaultBox only provides Instant Offers on coins in a VaultBox label). Red Core Redemption. Hold on to your Red Core! On December 1st at 12pm PST, the PCGS-certified Answer Key will be revealed. This Answer Key will reveal the hit that corresponds to each Red Core Redemption 1/2 Penny. After the Answer Key is revealed, Redemption holders can email us at info@vaultbox.com to receive their gold Red Core hit!
So wait, let's say you bought 5 of these. 1 is a red core/vaultbox label and the other 4 are in regular PCGS holders. Since the 4 non-red cores do not have a vaultbox label there is no buy back (easy way to resell them). I wonder if the price of WTC Jamaican Half Pennies will drop for a little while.
Most likely ½ cent. Just like I'm expecting it'll be worth in its plastic tomb when I receive it. The $99 is just the fee to be involved in the remote chance we receive any of the 300/15,000 coveted gold prizes. That's a 2% chance of winning. Much better than the lottery, which is 3.42231348E−9
