After reading the waiting list notice, I said a silent prayer because of all the problems and disappointment others have had trying to get this coin. Well I’m happy to say my coin arrived by Fedex today. I was so happy I hugged the Fedex guy. Give it a try, you may get lucky too!

The secondary market for this, a modern day coin, should be high. I would think for collectors who want the complete a whole set will set the demand up pretty high. Good luck to all that are trying to finish this set at those production numbers.

CREDIT CARD CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS IF YOU TRY TO ORDER
TWO GOLD COINS WITH THE SAME CREDIT CARD. WE ARE AUTHORIZE ONE COIN PER HOUSEHOLD.

People with a subscription would get priority for the new coins, that way you reward the persistent buyers.

The demand is very high for these coins and whatever they do will not stop the onslaught demand by the public. I hope in 2008 they up the mintage to 50,000 each instead of the 20,000 for proofs and uncirculated they have currently.

Either way, duh.

Those aren’t the most recent prices on eBay for those coins.

Order finally processed at 12:15. I am also picking up more MW proofs and MS still in the box. They are selling at slightly above mint cost and if one really thinks about it – THEY ARE A BARGAIN AT THOSE PRICES. I checked PCGS and NGC grading and noted the following as of 30 August 2007. PCGS had graded:
MW MS 15.40% are 70, 84.14% are 69s.
MW Proof 13.92% are 70 and 85.3% are 69s.
AA uncirculated are 24.35% are 70 and 75.25% are 69s.
AA proof not listed.

NGC on the other had is outrageous.
MW MS 55.24% are 70, 44.52% are 69s.
MW Proof 55.21% are 70 and 44.41% are 69s.
AA MS are 51.02% are 70 and 48.83% are 69s.
AA proof 49.62% are 70 and 49.68% are 69s.

What are others thoughts on the difference? Will the PCGS bring a premium in the future? And why are these selling so low. They should be bringing a premium. 20,000 coins divided by 50 states is only 400 coins per state and I know foreign investors also jumped in reducing what we really have access to.

Then within minutes, everything locked up. I checked back at about 1pm and they had sold out and were just accepting orders for a waiting list. After Dolley comes out, I expect them to increase the mintage.

It took me a little over an hour to get a confirmation for the gold proof.
The uncirculated took about 20-30 minutes.

For the medal, I have a confirmation print out, but it is not showing up on the Order Historyl
