This is the first hiccup I've experienced with a Mint order, so I wouldn't be worried about ordering again. I purposely waited until 1/25 to place this order so I could combine the Apollo stuff with this medal and save on shipping. If I reorder, I'll have to pay another shipping charge.
I purchased the Washington and Adams medals and was planning on completing the set, but this has made me rethink that and I may unload the two I have and decide not to shell out north of $1000 for a set. Don't know yet.

I'd talk to the person you reorder from and plead your case. I bet they don't charge you shipping again. If the reorder gets lost I'd say the set wasn't meant to be.   Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 |

About 7 weeks out with this issue. Got another survey from USPS asking how the service "was" on my inquiry. To this day, the only correspondence I've had from USPS is the first survey 3 weeks ago and the email about 2 weeks ago stating that they are going to look for my package. I'm a live-and-let-live guy, but I have to say our postal service leaves very much to be desired in recent years. On another note, I've decided that this is an omen for me to bail out of the Presidential medals program. Anybody want to buy a Washington and Adams?...

It only took eight weeks, but Jeff showed up in my mailbox tonight. The package was open but the medal was there in undamaged OGP. Curious where he spent all this time, perhaps on the floor of a mail truck?

Well holy crap! A happy ending. Congratulations. Do you think you'll finish the set now?

Don't plan on moving forward with this set. May pick up the most interesting ones at shows or stores. I definitely want to get the van Buren and Jackson since I like HTTs.

.....or a potentially sticky fingered employee of the postal service had a change of conscience and brought it back.

"HTTs"? Sorry - Hard Times Tokens. Jackson / Van Buren were presidents during the time period. Quote:

Congratulation on finally getting the coin intact.
Now, since you virtually getting this Jefferson medal for free, I guess you will have to continue with the series?
Btw, how many members of CCF collecting this series? I guess it's a niche/small group?
Also, I saw 3 options/package for the medal: plain medal, medal with portrait bundle, medal with engraving bundle..... so each of the extra large portrait/print add $5 cost to the package/option? I'm not sure if they are worth it? Anyone had experiences collecting these?

The original transaction was preserved. I am not collecting the whole series. I will probably get the Jackson and Van Buren. Some of them have interesting "reverse" themes that may entice me later...
