<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sio2ga, post: 2601901, member: 83570&quot;]So far no one is saying anything about when we can get these.&nbsp; I did talk to one dealer in South Africa. He told me he pulled his ebay listings because he can sell them easy enough locally for $100 per coin with no ebay fees.&nbsp; He tells me that he got the coins in pouches and that the ones in pouches were also in a capsule.&nbsp; He said that he didn&#039;t get any in tubes so doesn&#039;t know if there was a gap in the tubes for them to be damaged by jumping up in down during shipping.&nbsp; He further says that the ones that managed to get coins are doing quite well in selling them locally in South Africa because the mint doesn&#039;t have any and probably wont until 2017. </p><p>&nbsp; I had a friend in Johannesburg that I had asked to order me some coins and he agreed to. However, once I saw the problems I messaged him and he said that he &quot;planned on going to the mint in January to get them&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; Man! If only he had of went ahead and ordered them first thing.&nbsp; Maybe when I see him in the Arizona the first week in February he will have some for me if the mint does start selling them in January.</p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;ve been wondering what the mint will do with a million coins that they struck and recalled?&nbsp;&nbsp; Will they have someone sort thru and pull the good ones out or just melt them all?&nbsp;&nbsp; The mint claims that they were damaged when being shipped to Modern Coin Mart but here&#039;s the thing:&nbsp; They pulled all of them, including the ONES AT THE MINT THAT DIDN&#039;T SHIP! The locals in South Africa can&#039;t order them thru the mail or visit the mint and buy them there so that tells me that damaged in transit isn&#039;t completely true (although I am sure that happened as well as making shoddy coins in the first place).</p><p>This is an odd thing and it has to be embarrassing for the South African Mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
