My 2006 W ASE Finally arrived

My 2006 American Silver Eagle Uncirculated W mint marked coin finally arrived today. Considering I ordered it in December, I'm quite suprised to have gotten anything at all. Its in a pouch instead of a book, but I'm happy to get it in one piece.

I'll get some photo's up next week.

Ruben,
Do you mind sharing the date you ordered them in December? I ordered on Dec 10th and the mint shows the expected ship date as March 2. I read on anothe forum a post from someone indicating they received coins that were ordered Dec 13. If that date is correct, it was after the sellout was announced. I assume he got his dates mixed up. If not, then I am really confused as to how these are being shipped.
Thanks,
Dragon

 

ordered mine dec 3 just got them out of the mail box

 

Thanks Outlaw. That gives me a little better perspective. Now the Mint expected ship date is 3/4. I have been ordering items from the Mint for over 15 years and never experienced anything like this before (first the 20th anniversary sets and now this). I wonder if the Mint is addressing this issue for future releases? However, they are in a good position because if you wait for the secondary market, you end up paying more.

 

i was thinkin about ordering the ase 2006 w but desided not to but anyways glad you finally got it !!

 

cc51 - don't know if you collect modern bullion coins, but this particular coin will be (is) a winner. The late release of these coins produced a rare opportunity. First unc sold directly from the Mint for the ASE series and also the mintage is very, very low compared to the other ASEs. It is worth waiting for or purchasing. You may not see this happen again for a long, long time and I think this coin will appreciate considerably as people continue to collect the ASEs. Silver is still very affordable and the coins are beautiful.

 

Holy Crap... What was the hold up on those???

Glad you guys are finally getting them.... Along with a few other things I forgot to order mine... I wanted to order 5 or 6... :headbang:

I did pick one up in NGC MS69 on Fleabay....

 

Well, I don't know what's going on but I ordered my ASE Anniversary sets while they were still taking orders and after the shipping date being pushed back week after week was finally told they were no longer available. I ordered my ASE uncirculated coins under the same circumstances and like some others the shipping now is in March. Now I thought I had subscribed to the Presidents proofs and rolls and now I check the "track order history" page and it says the status is "suspended". There is no definition for the term "suspended" on the web site. Sheeeeeesssshhhh...:headbang:

 

Thanks for the info ND. Boy, it sure is upsetting when you order before the sell out date and find out that you won't be getting any coins due to an over-sold out situation. This is my second time for this and it might be my last.

 

Thanks for Information ND. Man I ordered a full 2 days before they stopped taking orders. That is a lot of over-sell. Guys on tv don't do that. Heck I have some but I ordered for some people that just got started collecting. that is going to be the tuff part.

 

MAn, you scared me... I just went and checked on mine... I don't know what the deal was but they didn't show up at all... I logged out and back in and it showed up...

PRESIDENTIAL DLR SUBSCRIPTION - QTY 10 1 $0.00 $0.00 In stock and reserved
2007 G. WASHINGTON DLR 25 COIN ROLL (D) 3 $35.95 $107.85 In stock and reserved
2007 G. WASHINGTON DLR 25 COIN ROLL (P) 3 $35.95 $107.85 In stock and reserved

I hope it goes through... Other tham my last two orders for 2007 State Quarter Proofs... I've had really good luck with the Mint and will continue to buy from them...

 

12-7 was the order day.

Ordered Mine on the 8th. taking about close but no cigar.

 

I can't help but feel this is an overstatement. Is it a beuatiful coin? Sure, as all the ASE have been stunning to the point that I'm getting borded of them. I have about 20 of these ASE's now in both UNC and Proof and they have all come to look alike. This is just another ASE, but with a W on the back. So what? Will its value be upheld in 20 years? That remains to be seen but I am skeptical.

OK as promised - Here is the Photo's of the ASE 2006 W at it arrived

I think its MS70 PL

 

The Y in liberty is flat!

 

Hi GDJMSP,

Could you please explain why it is "off center" and which picture gave you that clue? I am just trying to understand for my knowledge.

Thanks!

 

Ruben,that is a very nice medal-coin.It seems very odd to see the mintmark on the reverse,instead of on the obverse.

Aidan.

 

Nice, How'd you take it??? The Pics...
I can never get mine to come out like that...

If mine are anywhere near that close up they are Blured or whited out from the flash...
