Hey Big-Kingdom, you're probably spot on, HSN Mike probably bought 20% of them to slab in Anacs lol. He had a show on this morning at midnight to one CST ,said he'd present these tonight on a 2 hour show starting at 6pm CST.

Quote: Missed out, too. Such a bummer. Any chance the mint finds a few and puts them back on sale briefly in the next few days? I forget exactly, but I think it is generally 7:30 or 8 am EST where they put up a few here and there for a week or so after it is currently unavailable. Maybe it was 6:30? I just remember it being an odd time. Maybe someone here can confirm the exact time.

There will be plenty more available after the big dealers send back to the Mint for a refund any coins that didn't get a 69-70 grading from ANACS, etc. <----(my opinion)

Kind of torn on these too. I was debating getting one, but I probably wouldn't have collected the entire run for these coins anyhow. With it selling out that makes my decision easier! I will probably just get the proof coins or just the P&D coins. The series is somewhat interesting but I think the mint is doing (or has done) too many sets that string out over numerous years for me to stay interested in this one.

Ok, watched the HSN show last night and HSN Mike did mention he bought 25,000 of these ,so you're probably spot on atticguy, about many being sent back.

Make of it what you will but the lower tier TPGs need the business from their biggest submitters so

Received mine today. These are some very good looking coins.

Also received mine today. Really like the coin but the packaging imo is over-kill. Plus it appears that you can't remove the coin without tearing the packaging. Hope they change it for the future sets.

If you are trying to get the capsule out it isn't going to work as they wrecked my packaging trying to get it out which I was fine with but jus' sayin' it isn't going to come out whole.

I ordered mine on the 14th and got shipping confirmation on the 15th. Just checked the tracking and it's only made it as far as Texas. Seven days to go from Memphis, Tennessee to Pampa, Texas. They now give a delivery date of August 27. Anyone else getting extremely slow delivery?
