Any News On 25th Anniversary ASE Set?

Yes .. big decision ...
I almost wish they didn't go to this level and maybe will go higher. When I ordered 5 sets I was thinking I would keep one or two sets .. and hope to be able to sell the others to pay for the ones I keep. Now we have potential profit to deal with. I know if I sell all the sets I will have to buy another ....

But then .. what if these sets start trading at $1500 a set .. crazy crazy crazy

My card was declined (because of a card limit, I did not know about) last week.
I caught it because I was checking my order a couple times a day. I saw it go from
"in process" to on hold. So I called the mint .. they had me add a card and split the charges.

Also some are getting a notice that a letter was sent to confirm shipping address.
When that happened to my friend, she called and confirmed shipping address over the phone.
She got her sets yesterday.

My Order number was 38360xxx

That's a pretty broad statement. I think you meant, "if you ordered between 4:30pm and ?:?pm, then your not too late.

My order at 4:42 pm will be shipping tomorrow.

And now its time for another chapter in the Prime-Time Top 10 Series...

Earle 42 once again dials the (imprinted on his fingertips) number of 1 800 USA MINT and says "zero"

Yet another rep (wow - they have a lot of people there) named Shelly answers the phone and...
well you get the idea.

However, as a new twist to the plot - Shelly asks when Earle42 FAXed his screenshot for proof that he had completed an order.
Earle42: I was not informed that I could/should when I told Lori, Judy, Tiara, Kelly, Steve, Yolanda, Patty, Whitney, and Maggie that I had a screeshot proving it.
Shelly: Really? I'm surprised no one told you to do this!
(Oh no thinks Earle - maybe it HAS been a runaround!)

After receiving the FAX number, Earle emails the FAXs to his wife at work to send hem out.

He again asks if he can speak with someone who has the authority to just cancel a late order and re-install his order. Maggie (Earle42 knows of her!) is asked, by Shelly and being on hold for only a few seconds, Maggies reply, through Shelly, is that this cannot be done since Maggie said she already is aware of my case and they are looking into it. I will be contacted when the case is solved.

Earle42 tells Shely he is aware - online - of people sayiing they were told they ordered too late and will not get their set/s. He expresses concern that by the time his case is solved, that all the sets may have been shipped.
Earle42: Is there any way I can talk to someone who at least knows if there is a number of sets still not designated to be shipped so they can honor my order?
Shely: I will send an email to Maggie and ask her to check on this.
Earle42: Will she email me the answer?
Shelly: No, company policy forbids outgoing mails from her office to customers.
Earle42: Can she call me?
Shelly: Yes, I will include this in the mail.
Earle42: Shelly, I appreciate your time. You have a great day now.
Shelly: You to... cue typical thank you message from the mint.

Earle42 now, at least, is a little more optimistic b/c Maggie knew of his case and they also have added a FAX machine to their office so we can better communicate!

OK, OK, that last part is an assumption. But did Lori, Judy, Tiara, Kelly, Steve, Yolanda, Patty, Whitney, and Maggie all forget they had one there?


Seriously - with as many people as I have talked to, and the chaos ensuing from this sale, I am surprised things can be kept straight there at all! They have all been nice to talk to. And I suspect no one else thought of the FAX b/c they thought the computer records were enough.

Yes fans, tune in next week when we hear a new rep say, "You what? FAXed the screenshot? I didn't know we had a .... Saaaaay - So
THAT's what that funny looking print on that rough Kleenex was!"

Excellent idea.

Thanks Granite and all else who are pulling for me.

BTW - thank to jgfindring I now have one of these beautiful sets sitting in front of me where I can see it. My wife has no interest in coins and her comment as she walked by it was, "Wow!"

My two kids came in and both asked questions about it (some detailed). This is an amazing set for sure.

I also admit I love the styrene-ish plastic smell of the "hardwood case"

Seriously, although I like hardwood, I think in this case (pun intended), the deep blue, heavy plastic makes a better contrast with the coins. Could it be hardwood covered in plastic - kind of a lot to go through? I also like the added touch of the stars imprinted on the top ends of the plastic case. This is quality stuff!
