I too got the notice of the early morning sale. If you selected the “remind me” button on the Mints site for the March of Dimes set you should have received this notice. I believe this was “The Mint’s” way of giving all a fair shot at getting additional sets. Sell out happened very quickly.

FYI on getting the “March of Dimes Set” Graded (due to the Proof Silver Dollar offered/sold separately).
From NGC: “Coins must remain in the sealed US Mint shipping boxes, and the entire unopened package must be sent to NGC for certification. NGC must open these boxes in order for the coins to qualify for the MARCH OF DIMES SET pedigree.” If the box is opened only the Dimes will receive the pedigree.

That was supposedly where you were reminded that they were going to be on sale between 07:00 – 07:30.
I’m sure if my wife had waited she may have been able to pick up some more of them. As it is she was notified on Tuesday of this week that the five that she ordered had been shipped.
In a way it’s kinda sad that after having them around for several days she will take them down to the bank to put them in a safe deposit bank. A number of years ago we had someone walk off with a number of coins from her collection that she’s had since she was a child. That was over fifty years ago when she started to collect.

My wife was a D. I. in the military. When she was unable to get on the Mint site to try and score some of the MOD’s she went off. This sweet kind beautiful woman proved once more that she was an old time DI as she seemed to curse under her breathe for at least ten minutes without repeating a profanity.

Are people hoarding coins or is the economy improving ? @David- dittos- btw, I think they are afraid to change the coin compositions because it may trigger a lack of confidence when people dash to get the existing coins before the less valuable new coins are issued. People would also think about PM’s.

I guess they didn’t consider that option.

I still have the notice from the Mint that they were going to be going on sale on 5-28-15 Between 07:00 – 07:30. We were fortunate to pick up five sets the day they first went on sale. Just received notice on Tuesday This Week that ours were going to be shipped. We had hoped to be able to get a few more to give as Xmas presents This Year. But we missed it it looks like as they must have sold out as soon as they opened. We’ve never seen them open at that hour before that early in the morning.

They sold out in about a week. Sorry about that.

We were on the site at exactly 03:00 Alaska Standard Time, but they said they were no longer available. Did they sell out that quick?
