<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1222333, member: 15929&quot;]NGC initially reported on the Hub Differences in this News Story Date 1/9/2008 - <a href="http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?IDArticle=955" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?IDArticle=955" rel="nofollow">http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?IDArticle=955</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The coins themselves went on Sale on March 13th, 2008. Via Subscription, my 10 were shipped on 3/27/2008. (This pretty much coincides with all the initial shipping dates) </p><p><br /></p><p>On 4/20/2008, a fella named John Nanney (PCGS forum handle halfhunter) reported that the two he received, which were shipped on 4/8/2008, were both the Reverse of 2007. These were submitted to NGC and NGC gave John the credit for the Discovery in the following April 18th NGC News Article which was amended by NGC on 4/21/2008 because Coin world stated that John had notified them of the differences on April 15th. ( <a href="http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?NewsletterNewsArticleID=465" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?NewsletterNewsArticleID=465" rel="nofollow">http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?NewsletterNewsArticleID=465</a> )</p><p><br /></p><p>He posted the question regarding the reverses in this thread <a href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=651801" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=651801" rel="nofollow">http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=651801</a> on April 14th, 2008. I do not know if this was the very first post regarding the coins but on April 20th, 2008, a &quot;mega&quot; thread ( <a href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=652760" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=652760" rel="nofollow">http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=652760</a> ) was started showing some of the first sales at $800. I do not know if that was per coin but I expect it was for multiple coins since sales at the time were about $250-$300 each in open bidding on eBay.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>After that, things kinda took off. I know I submitted multiple orders around the 3rd of May and scored a couple then ordered some more. I ended up with a total of 7 but my initial 10 coin subscription contained zero.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin World had a big write up in the May 5th, 2008 issue ( <a href="http://editions.amospublishing.com/WDCN/default.aspx?d=20080505" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://editions.amospublishing.com/WDCN/default.aspx?d=20080505" rel="nofollow">http://editions.amospublishing.com/WDCN/default.aspx?d=20080505</a> - for those that have online access) which was probably released during the 3rd week of April which really got things going.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was fast and furious with everybody ordering from the US Mint during all of May and June. Some scored while others didn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>My regret is that I didn&#039;t extend myself by ordering a box of 100 since I spent the rest of the year ordering 2008-W SAE&#039;s looking for more.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would guess that it took about 3 weeks from discovery to a tidal wave of sales to occur.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
