We feel we must respond to these false attacks.
First, the Log Cabin Pennies were offered on the website as PRESALES -- and we communicated this on the site. When the buyers went to buy, they were shown as PRESALE on the site and also in their shopping cart. We also gave an estimated date of shipment as April 15th. Most rolls were shipped by this time.
We got ZERO boxes of these from our bank at face value. There were no banks in our area that ever received these. Also, the Mint threw everyone a curve ball by charging $4.50 a roll, and putting a limit on the number of them that we could buy from the mint. As we were selling them at $5 a roll, we could not buy them from third party sources at $20 a roll in order to ship them quicker. I hope everyone realizes why that is the case. We had to buy them when the prices went down in the secondary market, and even so we barely broke even on the whole project.
As for the first individual, he communicated the same problem to us and our records show we did ship to him in March. We offered, despite his vicious emails, to replace the roll, as we have done in other cases where the rolls got lost in the mail.
As for the last poster, the only rolls that are still oustanding are those who specifically requested P & D rolls. Far fewer P rolls were minted, and thus are more difficult to find than D rolls, so those who specifically requested the Ps were delayed more than others.
