I had no Problems ordering 5 at 6PM on the 26th. I wish I had a chance to order the Ikes and Trumans but unfortunately I was stuck in the woods with no cell phone reception. Most of the dollar coins I collect come from Coin roll Hunting. I picked up a Grant S proof today from the bank teller. Not in the best condition but it only cost me a dollar.

Went back and ordered 3 more (initial order of 2) as well as the LBJ rolls on the evening of the 24th, around 7PM.
On the 25th at 2:30PM I received an email indicating my order had been shipped. Surprise! It was the order I placed in the evening. 5 hours later I received a ship notice that the order I placed at 12:30PM on the 24th was shipped.
So much for FIFO huh?

As far as the coin collector show I usually record. Then check their prices vs the Fair market value at http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/fmv.shtml. He is usually double what they list. Lots of hype and pushes what he thinks will sell to the uninformed.

First, I really enjoy reading Coin News & Mike gives all of us useable information about what is going on with coin collecting. But the comments posted by some people range from positive to negative about the US Mint, the product they are selling and the people that are buying the product or trying to buy the product. The thing is some of the comments that are negative and positive sometimes come from the same people. I mean either you like the item being sold or you don’t. You think it is something not worth the trouble to get but then you post your own problems trying to get the same item that you cut down in an earlier post. Oh well, everyone to his own I guess. The one thing we can all agree with is that Mike and Coin News is a positive thing. No negative comments or saying one thing first and then saying the opposite latter. Thanks COIN NEWS for being consistent.

I ordered my sets around 16:30 yesterday afternoon and had absolutely no problems at all. I received my shipping confirmation this afternoon.
