I just checked the Mint site and there's a remind me button, so likely it is sold out time being until further processing for those payment that didn't go through.

@Navy2Morgan If you do get one of these you will want one of the Emerging Liberty dimes along side it and a Merc, would make a cool set.

Do people NOT understand how ebay works?

This seller sold 7 sets for $945.

Item number 267690035480 The URL is long to post.

Anywho per ebay they take 13.25% on sales up to $7500.

https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/s...fees?id=4809

That would net the seller $819.79.

And ebay will report you to the IRS at the end of the year.

This seller is not a PowerSeller or high volume seller so I doubt they get a discount on fees.

I had to pay $815.75 for mine.

So the seller made $4 and has to pay income tax on a lot of reported income unless they have a good tax attorney who will have to file some creative accounting so that they only pay tax on the $4 profit they made.

Doesn't seem worth it to me.

There's a 9% final value fee if they have an e-bay store subscription. And all collectors (not a business) should be reporting all material coin sales on form 8949 carried to 1040 Schedule D. No tax attorney needed.

I just checked the link and they sold them under the heavy equiment category which only carries a 3% final value fee with their store. Not exactly honest.

I don't get it either, seems like a lot of work for very little profit.

I think the sellers that bought the Enh UC Gold Eagles were really disapointed when ebay got flooded with them.

They probably thought they had a $10k sale in the bag and now they're lucky to get $6500 for one.

Notice how when you post the ebay item number the forum automatically generates a link to the item. It is always easier to post the item number than the full URL.

Has anyone gotten shipping information on these yet? Or when is the expected shipping date?

When I purchased the set and was checking out they had September 3rd (2026) as the ship date. Less than 3 months!

I guess I need to make some phone calls. I got an order confirmation but didn't get the email within 24 hours that they say will happen. Sale was still pending on my CC last I looked.

I believe they had a specific quantity available to sell "ATS", and the later orders (like mine) went to backorder until Sept.

My mom ended up in the back order. I assume that is where I will be. The mint confirmed everything was fine on my order this afternoon. I guess we will see. Budget shipping on both of ours. I got in pretty quick but my mom was a little slower. I wonder how they decide?
