Now that the sales window has closed how many sets did you order?
The idea for this thread was originally made by Southsav, but since I hadn't seen him post it I thought I would save him the trouble.
All said and done I am on the hook for a total of four sets. Three ordered on day one, two sets in the first order, one in the second order. I plan on sending all three of those sets into PCGS and hope I get an MS70 set for myself. The other two sets will more then likely be traded or sold to one of my fellow coin people. The final set the one I just ordered will probably stay sealed in the org box.
I can't wait to see to see these babies in a few weeks.

I ordered 4, the first week it was on sale. Do you have a PCGS membership or do you go through a dealer to get them graded by PCGS?
Is it worthwhile to get them graded through NGC or ANACS?
I'm curious to know why you picked PCGS and not any other?

I bought two. One for me to keep and another because I just couldn't help myself and thought that it might possibly be worth more in the future, but I doubt it. I'm keeping track of how many are ordered each day and the percentage change from day to day based on their posting. I'll post my findings once I look up the values for today.

I ordered seven sets in four orders, three pairs and a single. One pair and the single are in the first striking (7/27 ship date) and the rest are in the final striking (10/31 ship date). I also picked up one more 2012 W proof and three more 2011 W uncirculated Eagles along with the sets. I have a five coin subscription for the uncirculated silver Eagle which goes on sale next month. Since all of the other items I ordered are in stock, they will ship ahead of the sets so when the sets do ship, those shipments will contain only the sets.

Two for me. One on the first day. And I ordered the second one today, as a birthday present to myself.

3 sets in 2 orders for me. I plan on keeping two or all three if the secondary market won't allow me to at least recoup my investment.

I ordered five sets the first day of sales. I'm thinking about splitting them up with two sets each to NGC and PCGS. I'll keep one in the OGP.

To be honest I really don't know why I picked PCGS this time. I am currently a member of NGC and may very well use them this time as I don't have a PCGS membership. I really just want an MS70 "first Strike" set. Lots of things could change between now and then. I was just thinking that if I did a quick flip when the sets arrive in late July there maybe some easy money there. The plan is to hopefully sell the other sets to get myself a free one.
Anybody already figure out what grading is gonna cost with PCGS with the First Strike designation? I'll figure it out I'm just to lazy to look right now.

We ordered two, one for us and one for my father-in-law.

2 from opening day, 7.5 million+ profit for the month, not shabby, and that's just based on the extra thirty buck per set!
