As I was perusing the forum a few minutes ago, this came into my box:  June 7th!

"Shipping to begin late July 2012"
I guess they are expecting quite a bit of orders on these.

The ad was in my inbox today also. If the premium isn't too high, I might order a set.

I just love when people use auto-fill on their phones and don't catch when it uses "an" rather than "and". being sarcastic above

I guess they are expecting quite a bit of orders on these. Or not. They are doing these on a "coin to demand" basis and they are keeping the ordering period open for four weeks basically June 7 through July 7. So they may be planning to take all the orders, see how many they have to make, and then start production.

I would think that is what they are doing too, but they definitely know they will sell over 100,000 coins, so why not start it 2-3 weeks early, to keep up with the first week or two of sales?

I posted this yesterday on the original thread Quote: Quote: The San Francisco Mint will begin to strike American Silver Eagle Proof coins on May 11 and will host a public ceremony on May 15. This set be on sale only during the period of June 7, 2012, to July 5, 2012 with mintage limits is being reported as "to demand." Price has yet to be announced.

Yes I got the email/ad as well from the mint. They did not do this with the 25th anniv sets. So they may be listening to us. I called and they continue to say that there are no ordering limits. I will learn from my 25th Anniv. Set experience/nightmare. I will buy one set from the mint (a raw set for me) and then purchase a graded first strike set in 70's signed by Mercanti( at a premium) once the dust settles. No hassles, no waiting to see what PCGS will do with my coins. *** Edited by Staff - Please Review the rules that you agreed to when you registered. ***

Simonsays, remember you cannot offer anything for sale until you have enough posts and time as a member.
