    I'll sit and watch while eating Chiefbullsit's coin chips. Good luck.

    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.

    I’ll pass, which I did. I’m saving my money for a coin that I know I want and need.

    How does Mega Chase work?
    1. Each bag will contain a PCGS-certified Jamaica 1/2 Penny recovered from the World Trade Center.
    2. 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).
    3. 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.
    4. 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.

    eBay sold prices average around $20-30.

    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

    Why then did they show a distribution list> Are not these items to be distributed also, or am I missing something?

    looking like 3 1/2 cents here too weights 32.04,32.12 and 32.14 gotta wait for reveal (grandson picks) probably 3 clear cores as expected

    Please help me understand the whole weight thing. This is my first Vault Box/Bag. If every VB has the same item in it, the Jamaican ½ cent, why or how would the weight vary?

    It doesn't I thought mega had coins and red cores> Not paid $300 for 3 1/2 cents worth maybe $40 for all 3 so I contributed to anyone with a red core About what I figured Used to weight packages and hopefully stay away from Morgans but they got me this time but still had 3 I sold and kept two I wanted but still a lottery!
