JFK 2015 Coin & Chronicles Set
Got on the Mint site at Noon Wednesday - system was a little slow and I
had to reload the page a few times during checkout but I got my order for two in. Notified that they were shipped today. They apparently sold out because when I looked at the Mint site today, they are on back order. So, despite all the ****ing & moaning in the numismatic press and elsewhere, I've obtained the first 3 sets with a minimum of effort. |

So, despite all the ****ing & moaning in the numismatic press and elsewhere, I've obtained the first 3 sets with a minimum of effort. I had the typical Mint "connection reset by server" rigamarole for about fifteen minutes, eventually got through to the "Confirm Order" page and ONCE AGAIN FORGOT to click the "I accept the terms" checkbox before clicking the "Confirm Order" button. Five minutes (and several reloads) later I finally got back, clicked the ^%&*#@$$%^ checkbox and clicked the "Confirm Order" button. Got a confirmation for the two sets, but they're "backordered" (until late Sept or early Oct depending on which mint press release you believe ....). No big deal, but they might have shipping already if I'd been more careful ... Reportedly they sold 40,000 sets in the first hour, and virtually none since ... they were still available for ordering (though backordered for shipping) at noon today according to reports on the PCGS message board. -- Ken Barr Numismatics Â* Â* Â* Â*email: P.

Logged on to the mint website this morning and the sets are still listed as available. |

Official sales figgers: 9/20/2015...2015 KENNEDY COIN & CHRONICLES SET...48,462....48,462 9/27/2015...2015 KENNEDY COIN & CHRONICLES SET...48,203......-259 10/4/2015...2015 KENNEDY COIN & CHRONICLES SET...49,733.....1,530 I guess we'll see if there are any additional returns over the next few weeks. Reportedly all the sets have shipped, so there should be no more cancellations of unshipped orders ... Only twenny-too days to the LBJ C&C circus ... -- Ken Barr Numismatics * * * *email: P. O.

It would appear that all those irate letters to the editor in the coin publications was not really about missing out on a chance to own a set but the chance to own a low mintage issue they could make some money off of.....lol. Now that every one has a chance to get one it takes a bit longer to sell out! |
