First came the bag, then the silver coins and according to the tracking number the gold should be on before Friday the eleventh. I called in 20 minutes early, waited 5 minutes in the room and the order went through. No I am not a dealer, Just ordered 5 of each of all the proof coins and 5 circulated gold coins, and I do plan on a resale in November.I only want to keep one set for myself. Hope the other four sets pay for my one and I will be very happy. John

I just tuned into “The Coin Vault” and happened to see the Unc and Pf 70, silver HOF coins being sold. They are $499.50 each and the reason they have them so quickly is they were purchased at the coin show in Baltimore, on the fires day of issue. They were also submitted to NGC, at the show, so they have the “First day of issue” label. Wow, $47.95 and $51.95 now adds up to $1000.00. Well, the old adage does say, “What ever the traffic will bear,” and “Let the buyer beware.”

I wouldn’t get too excited about the prices that are beening asked for the HOF coins. It will all settle down in a few months. The 2010 Boy Scouts coins were very popular and sold out in under a month. Now they can be had for about $60 NGC graded PF/MS 70. That is less the the mint cost plus grading costs.

@Tom The $4.95 shipping is always charged on the first shipment, be it one of seven products or seven of seven products. Relax, the rest of the coins you ordered will arrive with no shipping cost, added.

The JFK coin will be no different than this one. If they up the mintage it makes it useless. The mint needs to “honestly” do something for the public buyers. I got my coins this round…at least I think I did as they keep varying the delivery date, and somewhere I am sure the mint will find a way to mess it up. I feel SORRY for all the people that are having to buy off the secondary market. From what I can see HSN had the best prices for these coins, but they are all sold out. I have never bought off the secondary market but what the U.S. Mint does and how it regulates it coins is most flustrating indeed. Making a profit is one thing, heck that is why I buy the coins, but hammering the public is another which the dealers are doing. The trouble is, once its all done, its very possible all these prices will fall….and the public is hammered once again. As for the the ordering method, I agree and I went through the same thing only it took a total of 3 hours to finally order my coins after going down, then back up in time. Oh well…at least my 5 oz coin will come this month from the mint.

We folks, if the coin flustration isn’t enough how about this. Yesterday I go an email about a shipment confirmation. WOW I thought, maybe something is coming….I opened the email and here is a shipment confirmation for the “FREE” bag offered by the mint. They charged 4.95 to ship it. Nothing ELSE was shipped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
