only a U.S. government run organization would mint 502,000+ coins in San Fransisco, CA and then ship them all to Indiana before shipping them out to the consumer... And they wonder why their broke

PBGS is in Indy. They are the contractor (private, for profit business) that does order fulfillment for the mint. It would be far more expensive to ship to end customers from each mint facility. Think of the government infighting over who is top dog and gets to ship when sets like the 2011 ASE go out. Unfortunately, PBGS sucks at least as much as any gov outfit would.

eng5858, thanks for the great pics. I won't get to see any of my coins until I get back from vacation. At least UPS has a new service where you can tell them to hold all packages until you return from vacay and then they deliver them all at once. My first two sets will get here tomorrow but I will already be gone.

Sets shipped after the cutoff date won't ever be eligible for FS/ER labels. PCGS allows sealed mint packages that were shipped before the CO to be sent in. NGC does not, they have to have the coins before the CO date to get ER labels. For these sets, you can send coins in capsules (or flips if you want) before the CO dates and still get set & FS/ER labels. Things could get complicated if the C&C set starts shipping before the SF set CO date.

tkflex36 When did you order? and how many sets?

My order was placed on the 1st day at 12:08 they tell me the reason it hasn't shipped is because the order was large 12 sets and takes extra scrutiny
which in my opinion is a croak

Order for 2 sets placed at 12:04 on 6/7 shipped Monday. Order for 5 sets placed on 6/13 in stock and reserved for the past 3 days with charge authorization but not shipped. Order for 2 sets placed on 6/15 shipped today. Pretty obvious Pitiful Bowes is shipping all the small orders out first, which violates the Mint's website statement about FIFO.
