Great news.

Guess since they already left people like HSN rip us off, they want a slice of the pie. It will not surprise me if no matter how quick we are on the 12:00 start time that all regular orders will be on back order so HSN and others get to stick it to us again. Just me venting frustration. Joe:crossedlips:

I still think the offer from HSN isnt bad at all. You get 2 slabbed coins and 2 FREE submissions..I bought it and dont feel ripped at all. AND I dont have to worry about getting the next design. Only thing is I really dontunderstand the rolls. Kinda odd to grade a whole roll at MS65 or better..It actually says or better, so there is some or betters in there? O well. I like it

Here's the press release from the mint about selling the rolls. $8.95 per set plus shipping. http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/index.cfm?flash=no&action=press_release&ID=999

Email from mint they are backordered again till 4/4. Still believing they are going to shaft us. I placed order right at 12:00 . This whole series of cents is really jerkin my chain. Joe:hanged:

[nightowl]

Anyone get theirs yet. 4/4 looks not so good, still in stock and supposedly reserved.:LOL_Hair:

[mustbebob]

My order at the Mint says the same thing. If they are in stock and reserved, then they should have already been sent to the distributor to me sent out. I understand about there were tons ordered, so maybe the mail is the problem. Have you tried calling them about your order??

[nightowl]

She told me the same thing on the phone. Seems odd they never emailed a different date. Not surprised though about the whole thing though.

[koinmon]

Mint says my order is still in process. Also haven't gotten a new backorder date; but the other items were shipped.

[JeanK]

Yesterday I checked at the mint website and they are sold out!
Good thing I ordered earlier. That does not mean I will get a set, but I can hope.

Mine were shipped today.....finally

Okay, while I regret not ordering these rolls from the Mint (as I was too busy to notice they were for sale), I feel like I am missing something...or I suppose eBay bidders have just gone batty. These rolls - have bids at or above $70 (as the link below demonstrates) - what gives?

Are these going to be traded this high a year from now or will they be back down to something like $15?

Well I put a set on ebay. Let's see what they go for. I will donate some of the sale to the LCR.

Does anyone know where they will be releasing the third design? I live in Illinois...and I plan on going if it is here. It seems like Springfield would make sense.

Thanks!!!!

That's the least I can do since I pretty much live here.:bigsmile:

[laytonre]

my question is where are all the 50.00 bags in the bill/law that was passed....richard

[eaxtellcoin]

The rolls are hitting the public though. Wife found one coin at the local filling station.
