I wonder how many orders there were. I know from reading posts here that many people ordered 4 (2 each of W and S), and some ordered 2 (1 each of W and S).
Assume an average of 2 medals per order and that's 12,500 orders. However I suspect there were MANY 4-medal orders, so I wouldn't be surprised at all to see more like 8-9k orders.

JBuck, I applaud you for sticking to your moral code. I agree with you, but have decided to flip my second set. I bought two sets, intending to keep one set for myself and one for my son, but my wife found out. She thought I just bought one. When she saw how much they were selling on ebay, it was hard not to agree. First time selling on ebay, now it's exciting to see the profit pile up. Going to have money to fix my garage door finally. Once again, I applaud you.

There's no shame in getting a set for free and coming away with a profit, mellamobradley46. Just don't be surprised with the ebay and PayPal fees.

Wow. I wonder what the distribution of grades will be.

Who has sold these so far? Anyone getting $125+ profit per coin? Quote: Happy wife, happy life. Very, very true. However there's also a corollary to this law that goes something like "happy husband, happy life."

Speaking of MCM....and an insight into the farce of HH limits I received an email from MCM YESTERDAY (highlighted because I'm assuming some have been sold since then) with a listing of Medals available now.... They (as of 629am edt) have 423 graded (pre-sale) and raw medals available....423...HH limit of 2 of each... Probably makes those who got shut out a bit edgy...

I think it's an expectation you have to set up before nuptials.  At the end of the day, it is, of course, a two-way street. Or should be.

A woman enters marriage hoping that their spouse will change. A man enter marriage hoping that their spouse will never change. Guess who usually wins that battle.  But I digress...  (Truthfully, my wife is a bit more understanding than I lead on.) My medals made it to the ATL last night, I hope they are in CLT tonight and I get them tomorrow. If not, they will be here Monday.

Mine's in Houston. Always baffles me that good ol' SmartPost gets to Austin from Houston after Dallas. I'm sure that makes sense in some logistics model but I can't believe there are no FedEx trucks that go from Dallas to Austin.  Probably means I won't see mine until Monday or Tuesday.
