Those 20th anniversary sets are selling for around $300 now?

 

I do not think these have officially sold out yet but have just been moved to wait list status. Once the failed credit cards and duplicate orders are deleted, you still have a shot. TC

 

It took 45 minutes by web, but I got 5 sets. Will sell 4 and keep 1.

Si........Ballpark.

 

I will sell whatever it takes to cover the cost of my initial purchase. I'm not looking to make money on these, although I am using them to fund my addiction.......

 

Good idea.

 

What planet have you been living on?

 

What is the best way to maximize profit on these sets? On an ebay auction it says you will recieve a sealed box that can be submitted for grading as first strike or early release. If you simply mail a sealed box of 5 sets to PCGS, what does that cost, what will you get back (25 seperate slabbed coins or 5 slabbed sets) and what will they be designated besides the grade?

I have never submitted for grading, would this likely be a good risk/reward?

The mint said that they sold ~25,000 sets an hour.
I got in the first hour, so I should be good.

 

I ended up working 11 hours today instead of 8. Tried to get through at lunch and my 3:30 break with no luck. Just got home and saw they are sold out. I did put my name on the waiting list. It is what it is. :smile

 

What would be the approx. grading costs for 5 sets sent in for grading at the same time?

 

Here is a PCGS estimate per 5 coin set:

$70.00 ($14.00 per coin grading fee x 5)
$36.00 (First Strike designation fee for two coins, RP and S, but this is optional)
$8.00 (Handling fee)
$21.95 (Shipping charge for 5 coins)

Total = $135.95 per 5 coin set

Also, be sure to pray for MS/PF 70 as well. :devil: TC

 

Thank God for OGP and let the early release designation be hanged. What a joke. I suppose if you submit your order number and the time that the mint accepted your order that this would be the only way to determine whether or not you had a true early release.

"I got one at 3:30PM with an order # of 38725xxx".

"Sorry buddy. Anything after 2:30PM don't get the designation......"

 

It took well over 30 minutes to place an order online after 4:30 pm ET. The Mint's website is so overloaded and slow, no private business could reasonably conduct business this way in the 21st century and survive. But, we have a constitutional monopoly of sovereign power selling their bullion goods, so you wait in line.

I ordered five sets, but I also ordered the Glacier National Park "puck," as well. Will I receive five sets? I do not know. Although I have an order confirmation, that means nothing, except for the Glacier "puck." I will settle for just one set, but if it never comes about, I will go buy other nice coins instead.

 

Anybody have the submitting information for these to PCGS or NGC? Special instructions?

 

NGC:

Nothing from PCGS yet...

But I'll prob do NGC just because I can submit through ana priveleges and I am not a member of PCGS.

 

"Early Strike" -- What a scam. How does one determine early strike on a mintage of 100,000 that sells out in four hours? I would never, ever, ever, pay a premium for an "Early Strike" slab. But then there are bigger idiots than me out there.

 

I have always considered all "early strike" designations to be a scam, this one just more blatant.

 

OGP people. That's where it's at. Especially 'cause the monied interests are gonna be busting up sets to get the all elusive, most sought after '70'. Pardon me while I belch.......

Hair splitting and maximized profits ain't for me. Just happy I could score to keep the collection in the green......
