i went on at 12 pm and i had a few issues with being disconnected from the site. i kept trying and kept ordering one set and i still had trouble getting through. the next time i changed to 2 sets and order went right through. i went back on about 10 minutes later and i ordered another one and that went through. i went back on 5 minutes later and tried to order 1 more and it stated that the household limit was reached. when i i checked my emails and it said my order had shipped i had 2 different orders for 1 set each. so i guess my order for the 3rd set was flagged. i just checked the website and apparently you can still order them. why would anybody pay even 5 dollars more than issue price when you can still get them from the mint. makes no sense. we will see what happens when the johnson set goes on sale with only a 25000 mintage
Got to place my order of two yesterday, just as a heads up see below. 2015 JFK Coin & Chronicles Set Sales Top 40,000 in Hour http://www.coinnews.net/2015/09/16/2015-jfk-coin-chronicles-set-sales-top-40000-in-hour/
For some, locked mine in at $85 a set. Small profit, but it'll cover beer and pizza. Almost not worth the time.
Right now, on the after market, the supply seems unlimited. I'll wait until they become much harder to find before I flip. I'm hoping that as the supply thins, the value will go up.
Someone posted on Mint News Blog that first day sales were 45,613. Should see a sell out today? Looks like 50k is the correct, fairest mintage. Wonder if Johnson will be raised to 50k or will we have to deal with another sell out in less than 15 minutes?
Yesterday afternoon, I received an email from the mint saying my sets had shipped along with a tracking number. Fedex still shows the package has not been picked up but only that a shipping label has been created. Has the mint found a new way to screw up orders?
No, this is how they all have been. I had one that did not show any updates on the fedex page until the day they were being delivered. Not sure if it is the mint or fedex messing this up.
I am shipping to 12 addresses. 6 orders got in before the backorder, and 6 after. And I know you do not approve of that. But I am trying to help there be a sellout, so that these can go up in value for everyone
Just sold another for another $45 profit. Not sure why people are buying mine when there are cheaper ones out there.. but oh well
