I just joined NGC and sent in my coins as I got them (5 Oz.) I will sell them at cost+grading and shipping. I am no longr going to collect these. I think I have 2 Hot Springs,2 Yosemite’s,1 Yellowstone, and 1 Grand Canyon. All of these with the exception of the Grand Canyon are Graded Early Release, as I did not send the Grand Canyon in for grading. I just don’t have the time because I’m in the process of moving into a new home. Also, One of the coins is graded SP68 ER, but I would have to look and see which one it is. If anyone is interested in these coins, I would be glad to work with you and I have all of the paperwork and boxes. All Original, ordered by me, from the Mint. I did get Imaging for all of the coins, also from NGC
Thanks……… J3_Dog@yahoo.com

littleboss –

i ordered these the second they went on sale, get them 2 weeks after and sent them into NGC the same day. now in the photo is MY order # and that is a photo of MY coin!! i also got a SP68 (both are on ebay for sale) i want a SP70 for my set. for a early releases you must send them in to NGC 30 days after the mint starts shipping, you might want to check the mint’s site to be sure your order is still in..

I’ve seen the same range on 2007 W silver Eagles, unc coins. some i have are PL finish others are matte (grey and grainy). Are these considered two different varieties ?

What am I missing here. I order my ATB’s the day that they are released and I still have not received it. Neither have my friends who do the same. Not to mention, who can answer the details on the “Early Release” program? How does that work exactly? After all, the Mint website says that shipping will take 2 weeks after the sale date. So how can JQ Public have already received their coins. Again, what am I missing here?

TheLittleBoss,

These have been sold to the public for a while now and most people who’ve ordered have already received theirs. Here is a YouTube video from “john q. public” showing off his “light finish” Grand Canyon coin that he received direct from the mint: http://youtube.com/watch?v=9wxes2NGz34

There’s no funny business going on.

Go figure, So how come the “light finish” coins are already available on Ebay when they have not even been released to the public yet. I get the whole AP thing but the P mint coins are supposed to be sold direct from the mint to the public. But the coins have not even shipped and yet there are some graded and listed on Ebay…..something here stinks. I bet John Q. Public does not get any of the “special” coins since they are the early released type. Is it just me or does this seem like a scheme?
If John Q. Public actually does get some in the mail when they DO ship. Then all is fair, otherwise it seems unfair and I question the integrity of the US Mint. Anybody else feel that way???

You wait…NGC and PCGS will undoubtedly create the “Light Finish” set, which at that time will fetch your $10K price tag.
