So who's buying the new Enhanced Reverse Proof ASE?

Bloody devil......what order number have you? PM me (conversation) if you're uncomfortable posting it in this thread. I'd like to see where I stand on the pecking order of shipping. Mine is still processing.

Mine is in 'SHIPPED' status as of Sunday midday.

Just one. No flaming my good luck please.

Edit: standard shipping

 

More like $750 this evening...

 

Order # USM07209049.

 

People generally don't post their full order numbers here. I'm not sure it allows a stranger to get tracking info and follow your package, but it's generally considered a privacy issue.

My order number was 0719(something), went to "Shipped" around 12:30 Thursday, and was supposed to arrive Friday (according to UPS), but they didn't get the package to UPS in time. It should arrive today.

 

Not too concerned, I googled it and nothing comes up. I checked it at usmint.gov and without logging in, nothing comes up about tracking it.

 

You can check the status at the mint website without logging on. If someone has your email address and order # they can access the status of that particular sale.

Caveat emptor

 

You're right. I hope no one has my email. I guess the mint doesn't know about privacy.

 

My order, 07203xxx, didn't go to "Shipped" until Sunday morning.

 

Mine aren't shipped,
although I never ordered any. So ... guess I'll wait aftermarket when they return to sale price a few years from now.

 

Gonna be waiting a while... these won't be back at issue price, ever

 

Then I guess I won't be owning it, ever.

 

There's always the option of waiting for them to show up at pawn shops, which will "overprice" them at $50-100 each, same as the other proof ASEs. You know it'll happen, regardless of what these do in the actual market over time.

 

No interest. This stuff is nothing but collector flypaper and a flipper's paradise.

I hear that the mintage is 30,000. There is nothing rare about that. An extrememly large number of 19th coins have a survival amount that far lower than that.

 

im keeping mine closed for grading. Crossing fingers its one of the 100 coins.

 

That's hard to believe....pawn shops just selling them for a slight premium to silver content ?

Wow......

Pawn shop and the owner would both have to be pretty dumb not to recognize the value. In an age of Ebay, even tougher to believe.

But I guess anything is possible.

 

I doubt it'll happen today, or this year. But pawn shop employees are busy, and they can't specialize in everything that comes in the door. At the one I used to frequent, at least one employee said he checked Morgans for CC mint marks before pricing them, but they put out a dozen or so worn ones at the worn-Morgan price ($22 or so) that included an 1895-O. They won't miss on bullion value, but they will miss key dates.

And as for the owner, well, that owner might be the purchaser, or an heir, or someone who came into the coin through some, ahem, less formal means...

 

The ones listed at $800 are starting to go for full asking price now. At $650 or $700, they last 5 minutes or less. The bubble isn't popping yet...

 

Good golly, somebody just bought two in one transaction at $999 each.

 

Thanks guys.......I just got an email that mine has shipped. In actuality it hasn't shipped, but the paper work has been sent to the F'ers. In another day or so I can check the shipper web site and get the approximate arrival date.
