[QUOTE="sodude, post: 1763083, member: 30828"]There were 138,500 sets ordered the first day. If you ordered at 12:10pm, there might have been 50,000 or more sets already ordered. There were 281,000 sets ordered in one month. They started shipping about 40 days ago. This means they have been able to ship less than 7,000 per day (maybe way way less). So, if there were 35,000 sets ordered ahead of you at 12:10pm, it is reasonable to expect that you would have to wait several days to a week or more longer than the first person to order. Keep in mind that the Mint has nothing to do with grading the coins. PCGS and NGC are within their rights to expedite the grading of select customers and to offer them special labels and any other perks they see fit. I believe the minting of these coins could be a little bit more complicated than your regular coins and proofs. That adds to the time. Furthermore, the coins are very high quality. It seems that most people are pleased with theirs. This could suggest the Mint is using strict quality control standards on these special sets (that adds to the average processing time).[/QUOTE]
