I am very happy to have gotten in on the two PCGS MS70 sets via silvertowne. I just can't really ever see a day where these sets in MS70 will ever be worth less then $240.

The two individual sets I opened showed up with several pin hole type marks on the Rev Proof's didn't even checkout the other coins. Not sure what I'm going to do with these.

Plus, two more sealed in one box the wife is grabbing from UPS after she GTL's:)

Ended up with 6 sets a little more then I wanted but owe well.

All I got to say is Silvertowne better come through on these sets, they already billed me so I hope that means its a sure thing.

Im nervous too I'm going to get the sorry we ran out email. That would be tragic with a deal that good.

All their NGCs are out of stock as well now. Havent seen anywhere else for under 280 for that set so far

According to the tracking info, my two sets are due to arrive by end of day today. I just hope somebody is home to sign for them when they arrive (with my luck, they'll arrive the moment I step out the door for lunch).

I ordered my sets on Jul04 & Jul05 and they still show as backordered with an estimate ship date of Oct31. But I've read of others who ordered late June and have already received their sets.
Has anyone had similar experiences? I assume there are others who ordered late.?

Barry,

If I didn't know any better I would think that you are a bit excited.... :-) I still have two more sets coming and I can't wait to get my hands on them.

You did not photograph the silica jell packs!

Really great photos of your coins.

If you're talking about the coins, I use a cheap digital camera with a macro setting and a lot of light with a milk jug as a diffuser.

milk jug, huh? Sounds cool - how does that work? I use a Canon Digital ELPH but have always had issues with glare from the flash, so a diffuser sounds like the trick!

Do you just hold it up in front of your flash while taking the picture?

... I'm pretty sure the use of a flash is not necessary because of all the light he is using. I think the milk carton has the bottom cut out and placed over the coin and then the lens shoots through the top/opening of the milk container, thus defusing the outside lights? could be wrong though, but that was how I interpreted it
