I assume to actually visit after 12pm on thursday for the link? it’s not there yet from what i can see…
c_q, the email I received said “We will email you a link to the special customer appreciation sales event the morning of 9/19/2024.” It leads me to think that if you do not get the email then you are not eligible for the sale. I mean, it is stated to be a “special customer appreciation sales event”. If anyone can get access, then it’s not as advertised.
Reporting from Kihei Maui…..Well, from a ex USM customer, starting in 1968 goodwill ain’t there biz, it’s selling rejects and overpriced stuff to lemming and feeding the big boys
Kaiser I WAS the biggest m8nt promoter & mega customer. I got so po’d over BS, site access issues, mintage schenanagans, secret sales of stuff @3am including Enhanced Rev ASE as a mistake they did not cancel, they have cancelled ordered of mine in a heartbeat…..they can…..
Kaiser, as gramps said ….”REVERAND”. Clad prof sets 29.99 SALE
Typo schmipo, sorry Kaiser, gotta keep us users useful..
I have hot dogs for sale, all meat, only $22 but I have a sale for next week. $19, no bun included Visit a Ventris Dogs DC NW Corner 18th and Schtupped U street
It’s from DC. Driving there is fun. A traffic light at every intersection and they aren’t synchronized. 😛
Synchronized, LA claims that a major Street Ventura Blvd. is synced, yeah hit EVERY, FRIGGIN EVERY red light when u go 35, go 66 make them, and LAPD no longer writes many tix, no longer “just” The Mayor ordered cops to not give tickets for most traffic offenses, nor ever engage the homeless unless necessary. She’s running for re-election already, likely won already as it appears LA Registrar fixes votes, he was fired i Washington state for such allegations. LA Supervisors went and hired him asap…. Coins nahhh autobahn Ya!
We used to Zip and race on Highway 395 on the way to Mammoth, until a CHP cop who looked like Telly Sava
as nailed 3 cars at once….
Telly Salvalas…. When I typed Telly, AI CN changed to “reply”….wtf
Kaiser sale starts at 3am PDT for the big uns. How many of those 2018 10th z fuguly slugs exist
I passed on that @190…..I did not like the design, I did get a silver medal one eBay for $33, it is very nice….
The article says “Additionally, bags and rolls of coins will be available at currency value, with a $1 surcharge for rolls and a $5 surcharge for bags.”
This was not included in the email I received. But if this means AI$ and NA$ rolls of 25 coins for $26 (vs $34.50 current price) or AWQ 100-coin bag for $30 (vs. $45 current price) or Kennedy 200-bag for $105 (vs. $147 current price)– this might be worth pursuing IMO if you have free loyalty shipping. Especially the crimped rolls which you know have not been searched.
yeah, I didn’t see that in the email I got either. perhaps I am not special’ enough.
also I noted that it didn’t mention boxes on discount, just bags and rolls
I also got nothing, not even a feel around from Ventri$…. The rolls stuff sounds like an actual deal. Only for those who overpay most times for mint trinkets. Maybe I’m too alienated as I fired the mint years ago. From $10k a year to. ZERO, stocks …. The spell correct on this,site is full. Crazy I typed stocks, they changed it to LOX
The cynic in me says this is the Mint trying to cook the books (not clear out warehouse space), specifically the 2024 Annual Report for FY24 which ends Sept 30. We all know that there have been reduced sales across the board for 2024, and this could make the sales revenue number look much better. But it’s kicking the can down the road, as the same problem will happen next year.
Spoken like a true Spartan. Maize+Blue not doing so well this year, whereas Sparty is 3-0. Just sayin’
Customer Appreciation my a**! More like the mint is opening a new store – The Coin Outlet Store.
Get your rejects here! (All sales final – the big giveaway on intent).
Major D’s comment is an out-of-the- park home run!!!!!!!!
the fine print says ‘no refunds – all sales final – products sold as-is’, which is different than their usual return policy, so it does strongly imply these are returned items or way-too-much-on-hand
Plenty of Sacagawea coin & currency sets with toned glazed $1 and FRN upside down
5 ounce pucks are currently priced at $455. At 30% off it’s $318.5 which is still ridiculously high for these pucks. Dealers at shows are trying to unload them for $225 and still no takers. Maybe there might be something to pick up but it will be few and far between.
Or they could just lower the cost on their coins. But then that makes sense. Can’t have that nonsense.
Bought my last pucks when the burnished were $154.95…..
ECG,
They might be overpriced (I don’t think so because I have a lot of them in my safe) but folks sure have scarfed all of them up! I see all are with the ‘remind me’ tag. I know a lot of folks don’t like them because they couldn’t afford them, just like you don’t see everyone out wearing Rolex watches. I’ll bet they’d like to have one though!
A lot of these coins, especially the gold coins have already been offered to AP’s and Big Dealers! I’ve already seen what they call the “West Point Hoard” coins on Ricks Coin and TV!! Now, the US Mint is offering us common collectors some leftover crumbs! Isn’t that nice of the Mint? No! No!!! NOPE!!! Even with the discount, they are still way overpriced and it’s No Return policy on this Sale means they are offering us the Returns and Crumbs that the AP’s have already turned down. They already have what they want. How thoughtful of the US Mint!… Read more »
And they likely got to return the damaged or stuff they did not like
Here’s a big drawback that I see: those “special customers” that previously paid full price for the Mint products will likely have decreased resale value on those products due to the discounts being offered with this sale.
Kaiser, I’d say it hurts all customers when there is discounted product mixed into the resale market, as a declining tide lowers all boats in this case. Because those that pay less can sell for less, which causes a ripple in the resale prices as buyers seek the lower price.
Kaiser — I had never bought a Mint’s bag of coins before but recently did so for another reason. I bought a $100 Bag ($117 delivered) of the 2024 Louisiana Innovation coins just to see just how bad that packing would be. Hold the phone; I’m getting to my point soon. It was just that. Those bagged coins had more small scratches and dents than my numismatic eyes could stomach. I was hoping to find a few that were acceptable but that I guess that was the Pollyanna in me showing through. But they are bright and very shiny and… Read more »
Whoops. Just checked. They are all gone. And they were 2023, not 2024 ….
My dad piloted a Higgins inthe South Pacific in WW2, best run, scored a case of beer in Gavutu, he received a real heroes welcome, and they were not cold…. If he was still w us maybe but o/w no
Just went to USM site, completely fuked up, reload every 10 seconds. I didn’t get an invite so I’m buying NOTHING
Looks to me like you don’t need an invite. Customer Appreciation Sales Event is up on the Mint’s website now. Click on Shop Now to get in line at the waiting room. So much for a special Mint email link to be emailed this morning….
JC — I first logged into the “WaitRoom” 3 hours before the start of the big sales event. But I inadvertently hit the “refresh” button 45 minutes before it was to start and poof, I was bounced off. So I logged back in losing my place in line. When it started it first said there was a 1 minute wait, and then updated to 30 minutes, and then down to 15 and then 7 … which became about 2. People were obviously dropping off left and right. When I got on I started looking for a couple coins I had… Read more »
Mike, sounds like you were reconnoitering…..the 1z HR 2017 wasn’t a bad price, even with scratches, likely SO within minutes….
Saw what was offerred for sale…..passed….also noted..why was i going to be charged for s&h i qualify for free
Hoped on around 12:15pm and didn’t see much. If there was anything I guess it sold out quickly.
Oh hum, guess back to the normal, everyday U.S. Mint fleecing pricings.
