MINT coin opportunity on Thursday March 17

3/17 9:20AM update – That was a shit show. Anyway. please fill in the order confirmation form below once you get that. IF ANY OF YOUR COINS ARE BACKORDERED, THAT’LL BE TBD. Come back later or I’ll make a post on what to do with them. If you didn’t reserve a 4 coin set, email me later in the day or tomorrow to see if I have capacity. I should since that was such a shit show.

3/17 12:10PM update – This is how you check for backorder. Log into your MINT order. You can see that the order total isn’t adding the coin’s price to the total. As of right now, it’s TBD on backorders, but don’t be surprised if buyer makes us cancel backorders

3/17 5:15PM update – Due to so many backordered coins, if your 4 pc sets are still in PROCESSING or is NOT BACKORDERED (see above,) email me for some limited extra capacity.

3/22 6:00PM update – A good number of folks have coins in hand already. If you have coins in hand and nothing outstanding, request a label below. If you have coins that are on BACKORDER, it seems the MINT is randomly shipping those out, so give it 2-3 days to see if the MINT ships out the BACKORDER. If they haven’t by that time, request a shipping label to ship out what you have on hand and we’ll deal with the BACKORDER later.

3/27 9:00PM update All coins delivered through Friday 3/25 will be paid out on Tuesday 3/29. If you didn’t get the echeck, check your spam or search for ‘OnlineCheckWriter’.

3/29 9:30AM update All coins delivered through Friday 3/25 were paid out just now. If you didn’t get the echeck, check your spam or search for ‘OnlineCheckWriter’. I won’t be making any future payment updates. You’ll receive your echeck within 3-4 business days after delivery. If you haven’t received it by day 5, please reach out to me.

3/30 6:00PM update If you have coins in hand and some backorders, wait until Sunday to request a label for what you have in hand. Buyer will make a decision on Monday/Tuesday on what to do with the backorders.

4/4 1:30PM update Seems a lot of 4pc sets and other coins went to PROCESSING or SHIPPED over the weekend. Buyer is still accepting the sets as well as any shipped coins. Please do not cancel any backorders at this time.

4/6 7:00PM update If you have a 4pc set that has shipped out already from the MINT, but you don’t have it in hand yet, go ahead and request a shipping label by Sunday night so that you can quickly ship it back out as soon as it arrives. The buyer is going to make a decision on backordered coins by the end of the week.

4/11 9:00AM update – Buyer says to keep all backorders for the time being. When/if he wants us to cancel, I’ll update, make a new post and email folks who locked in order confirmations. Thanks

4/21 1:30pm update Buyer has requested you cancel all backorders. If you have an outstanding label, please ship what you have asap. Thanks

On Thursday, there’s going to be 4 MINT coin opportunities. Please read this post fully.

  • 4 proof set – my buyer is going to pay $350 over cost UPDATE cost is $5332.50 + $350 = $5682.50 payout
  • 1/2 ounce coin – my buyer is going to pay $175 over cost UPDATE cost is $1450 + $175 = $1625 payout
  • 1/4 ounce coin – my buyer is going to pay $75 over cost UPDATE cost is $752.50 + $75 = $827.50 payout
  • 1/10 ounce coin – my buyer is going to pay $25 over cost UPDATE cost is $330 + $25 = $355 payout
  • He is NOT buying the 1 ounce coins

Also note that if the 4pc set, 1/2 and 1/4 coins are sold out, DO NOT BUY THE 1/10 ounce coins. The 1/10 should be added to an order with one of the other 3 coins.

Mint’s shipping cost will be on you, so if the coin is $5000 + $5 shipping, that means the payout is $5350, not $5355.

Clearly, you shold focus on the 4 proof set. ONLY PLACE 1 COIN PER ORDER, MEANING DON’T TRY TO BUY ALL 4 IN ONE ORDER OR EVEN TWO OF THEM because it may sell out on you. Buy the 4 proof set. Once you’ve done that, buy the 1/2 ounce coin. Once you’ve done that, move on to the 1/4 and then to the 1/10 ounce coin.

Insured labels are provided by my buyer. Just keep the dropoff receipt and don’t just hand over to a random driver.

These coins should ship out ASAP and the coins need to be shipped out to my buyer in a timely manner. If you are going to go on vacation for the next 2-3 weeks or you won’t be able to ship out the coins for 3 weeks, then I would suggest you pass on this deal.

I will update this post when the MINT starts shipping out the coins. If your order doesn’t ship out within a few days from when the majority of coins are shipping out, email me so we can make arrangements.

Payment will be made 3-4 BUSINESS DAYS after coin delivery via an echeck.

—————————————————————————————

VERY IMPORTANT TO DO TASK NOW

My buyer has a capacity limit on how many coins he will take. If you want to reserve a spot, please fill out this form. This form is to reserve capacity. You will fill out a separate form after you have placed the order.

3/16 update – Reservation capacity has been met. If you decide to buy the coin and do not have a reservation with me, you can email me after the coin drop and I’ll let you know if I have space for you. Thanks.

If you do NOT reserve a spot, then I may or may not buy from you. It will depend on how many coins people were able to order. You can email me at coinsperday@gmail.com to see if I have allocation.

If you RESERVE a spot but weren’t able to order the coins, sure I get it. Things happen. However, if this happens repeatedly, I will not buy coins from you going forward.

If you RESERVE a spot, order the coins, and the MINT cancels on you later, fwd me the cancellation email to let me know. No harm, no faul; shit happens.

—————————————————————————————

Thursday, after purchasing the coins

  1. Fill in this form
  2. Forward your US Mint order confirmation (wait for the 2nd one that is the ORDER CONFIRMATION and not just ORDER RECEIVED) to coinsperday@gmail.com. Please don’t expect a confirmation reply to the email.

If you’ve done the 2 steps, then you’re locked in.

—————————————————————————————

Shipping label request form once coins IN HAND

DO NOT OPEN THE BOX when it arrives. It should come in a plain brown box from UPS or USPS with from label MEMPHIS, TN. If you bought multiple coins, you can check the tracking to know which coin is which. You can combine multiple coins into A BIGGER OUTER BOX and request 1 label. DO NOT OPEN THE MINT BOXES!

When you have coins in hand, request a shipping label with this form.

Labels are created in a batch once a day. If you miss the cutoff, you’ll get the label the next business day. I will email you a UPS label from my email address. You can then slap the new label over existing label and drop off.

Coin dropoffs

You can then drop off the coins at UPS. Be careful with Staples since their scanning system isn’t integrated into UPS. MAKE SURE YOU GET A DROPOFF RECEIPT THAT SHOWS WEIGHT. DO NOT HAND IT TO A RANDOM DRIVER! Keep this receipt until you get paid.

—————————————————————————————

Payment

When the coins get delivered, an electronic check will be emailed to you within 3-4 business days (takes time to open and process.) Please check your spam folder for an email from Onlinecheckwriter, especially if you have Hotmail/Outlook.

  1. Sorrry Vinh. signed up under ry… all I got so far after numerous attempts and using numerous credit cards is :This order was rejected due to an issue with your data. Please check your Credit Card Verification Number or contact us 800.USA.MINT (872.6468) or you may email us at usmint-support@usmcatalog.com for further assistance (DM).

      1. Has anyone figured out how to get around this issue, or what’s causing it? I’ve tried changing cards, billing address, shipping address, guest/account login, phone, email, enrollment/order… basically everything, and no luck. Went from all cards being fine to every single card being rejected

    1. Email me later today to see if i have capacity once ppl have had time to fill in and I see waht my capacity looks like. It’s looking like I’ll have capacity.

  2. That was the smoothest purchase I think I’ve ever had with the Mint. I was so shocked it went through in 30 seconds, I didn’t know what to do with myself. So I went to buy the next coin, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to use the same card… kibbutzed a whole long minute on it. Then it was sold out. So, I bought the second next coin and called it a day.

  3. I filled out google form and sent you a pdf of my order confirmation. I got everything you want.

  4. Got 1 4 coin set. Said ship date was 23 June. I have an order number although I haven’t received an email yet. Is that the order number to use on the form?

  5. Mine errored out when trying to make final payment- said page was unavailable. Occurred 3 times on two different browsers. Will keep trying but now says unavailable. Will let you know if I struck out.

  6. Emailed you. Didn’t reserve but grabbed a 1/4 oz Coin if you would need it. Otherwise will just cancel.
    Thanks

    1. Email me later today to see if i have capacity once ppl have had time to fill in and I see waht my capacity looks like. It’s looking like I’ll have capacity.

  7. Tried to get orders in but got blocked by the “are you a human” button. hopefully I don’t get banned from selling to you in the future.

  8. Mine errored out saying a problem with javascript! Who the hell even uses that crap? ARRGH! Hope you put this tip in next time.

    1. Every single web site uses JavaScript these days. Every time I try to snag one of these drops there are errors of some sort, so it often takes many trips through the checkout process before it finally succeeds.

      1. So I did a little googling and java is not needed to run javascript. Who knew? So it was on their end, not because I did not have Java installed as a program. Please elaborate if I am misunderstanding this.

        https://www.google.com/search?q=Do+you+need+Java+to+run+JavaScript%3F&rlz=1C1GEWG_enUS960US960&sxsrf=APq-WBtTVZSpkRhKjYtsHCL2I_M6E_hZLQ%3A1647553277641&ei=_aozYpbhJuGe_QavtYCAAw&ved=0ahUKEwjW0_Kejs72AhVhT98KHa8aADAQ4dUDCA4&uact=5&oq=Do+you+need+Java+to+run+JavaScript%3F&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBQghEKABMgUIIRCgATIFCCEQoAFKBAhBGABKBAhGGABQAFgAYIIeaAFwAXgAgAFtiAFtkgEDMC4xmAEAoAECoAEBwAEB&sclient=gws-wiz

        “Do you need Java to run JavaScript?”
        Unlike Java, which uses JRE (Java Runtime Environment), JavaScript code runs entirely within the browser. This means that all you need to run JavaScript elements is a modern browser that has been updated to the newest available version.

        1. (cont’d)…So I had the common misconception that the program from Oracle “Java” not being installed on my PC was the issue. But it was a javascript error on the US Mint’s site.

          The Javascript runs from within Chrome. So as far as I know, removing the Java Program will only help me to secure my PC better, due to hacks/breaches being an issue with that.

          If an app on your PC requires you to install the program from Oracle, it will advise you of that. At least I don’t feel like I messed up now.

  9. Hey Vinh, I filled out the form yesterday before any message of capacity was posted. I don’t see a confirmation email. I’ve bought coins for you under a different email but the same name.

      1. Hey Vinh – Do you have an article on ‘tips to successfully buy coins from the mint’? I know I’ve seen one before but don’t remember if it was in this site or not.

  10. I signed up yesterday to participate in the March 17th four coin Mint sale. Would you be so kind as to confirm if my registration has been accepted or not?
    Thank you for your consideration,
    Dennis

  11. I am confused about the 1/10 oz coin. On the one hand he recommends only one coin per order. On the other hand, he says the 1/10 oz coin must be on the same order as another coin.

    1. If you have bought the other 3 coins already, go ahead and buy the 1/10 coin. If you didn’t buy the other 3, DON’T BUY the 1/10.

      1. Sorry, for clarification – i got 2 of the other 3, but wasn’t able to get the third. He still wants the 1/10, correct?

  12. From experience. Opt-in doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed they will buy it from you. If for any reason the buyer walks out or all of a sudden thinks he has enough sets/coins he will just tell you that you’re out of luck and should return the order to the USMint or resell it yourself.

    No big deal, just be aware. Lot of hassle and time.

  13. Price is out:
    4 Coin Set (22EF) $5,332.50
    1/2 Oz (22EC) $1,450.00
    1 Oz (22EB) $2,850.00
    1/4 Oz (22ED) $752.50
    1/10 Oz (22EE) $330.00

    1. Hello Vinh, I just forwarded you two orders’ confirmation. I also upgraded the shipping to Expedite shipping with 3-4 business days. Hope it makes you more competitive. Thanks for an opportunity working with you.

  14. Any recommendation on what credit cards to use/avoid for the best cash back? I read U.S. Bank cards and Elan/Fidelity don’t earn points on mint purchases.

  15. Hi Vinh, I filled out the previous form (when there was only an option to reserve a 4pc set). I see now that the form has been updated for all options, but I can no longer go back to update the previous form. Should I just fill out a new form with the quantities that I want?
