I ended up sending 2 sets in to be graded by PCGS. One of the sets was from Coins N Things which I sent in in the airtites they came in. The other came from Jack Hunt and were sent in envelopes. I didn't look at all the Jack Hunt coins before I sent them in. Found out today I am the proud owner of the lowest graded Yosemite coin. MS62! Maybe I can market it on ebay as a low ball coin for someones registry set! |

Silver continues to fall... USD $37.05 at the time of this post, which is a pretty major dive after last week's all-time high near $49. Anyone have any insight as to why? Is this just market correction or is something else going on?
For the 5-oz coins, that makes the metal worth about $185. Yay, glad I paid $100 more than that from the mint. But that's to be expected I suppose.
I wish gas prices would do the same thing.

Way too expensive....My JH set had only one coin worth grading...the CNT set had 4/5 that were sent. Cotton gloves...open envelope...coin in hand...back in envelope (or put in Z5 capsule) Only exception would be some FS date restricted coins..not applicable here. |

 Yep. The JHCB coins were not nearly as nice as the APMEX set I got earlier on in the game. Probably having been stored and sent in the envelopes didn't help the cause or they just received all middle "average" strikings. Not that any of them were totally hazy, but looked like the actual bullion product they were supposed to be. The Fidelitrade set I received last week surpassed either: clean unmarked unhazed deep mirrored fields resembling brilliant proofs from the 1950-70s era. I'd get these graded if I were selling, but this is the keeper set. The large TPG plaques are hard to store, but if PCGS or NGC (are you listening?) comes up with a protective sealed Z5 capsule with all of the pertinent labeling along the upper rim, I'd be interested. Even the thicker Z10 capsule is vastly preferable to the 5x7s. |

gad....I would never grade coins without looking to see if they are worth grading. It was actually a set my friend had wanted to buy and wanted them in slabs regardless. Then he backed out of the deal. Oh well, live and learn. |

Maybe I can market it on ebay as a low ball coin for someones registry set! Sometimes the late worm gets the bird. The first unslabbed JH sets really varied in quality, as you can see. The current/latest ones he is sending out are all in TPG slabs, all at least BU, most are 68's and many PL. |

Don't blame you, although the majority of orders haven probably progressed beyond the point of no return (i.e. not cancelable online at least.) I predict that the Mint is going to price the remaining four 2010 coins @ $279.95, regardless whether the spot price is $15/ or $36/oz at time of issue to prevent another run up against their 'antiquated' servers. They will argue that it's not a bullion round, but a collector product. If they hold to this line, the aftermarket prices should be better than the Mint's. Suddenly, these coins are looking a whole less lot attractive than a week ago.
It's the $629.99 A-Mark set that is looking highly unsupportable now, even with the extra $18 FS designation, when Gainsville wire price is $206.44 each currently.

Those of you thinking about canceling should check and see if ModernCoinMart will still pay you cost plus $75 to flip the collector version.

I got an early shipment from JHCB and I thought mine looked pretty good although it would have been nice if they were slabbed.
Anyone getting delivery from Dillon Gage?

Fidelitrade just cashed my check this week and I was one of the last orders they were filling according to the rep. Fred, have you called to see if you got in? When I called they said they didn't have enough sets to cover their orders.
I also canceled my mint set of the 2011 5 oz coin, no way I am paying $54 an once right now.
