+JMBella Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) Now that v2 is shipped it's time for v3. This coin features the Block Island Lighthouse in RI. Unlike the other 2, this coin will be color on both sides, cut out and oval shape. As usual, the sales will be on ebay. Here's the schedule: 4:00 PST - Gold $10 4:15 PST - Bronze $8.50 4:30 PST - BLACK NICKEL ($14, there will be only 50 of these minted and most of them you will only be able to find in caches. 15 are for sale today) Here are the titles of the auctions copied and pasted directly from ebay: LH series v3 - GOLD LH series v3 - BRONZE LH series v3 - BLACK NICKEL No guessing about start times. These are already scheduled and will start precisely at the posted times. With the new mint these should be shipped much faster than the last set. Still, assume it will be around 6-8 weeks and if it's sooner, than we'll all be happy. Artwork: Edited March 14, 2006 by JMBella Quote Link to comment

Not So Lost Puppies Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) How does 6-8 weeks get past the PayPal restrictions? or are you just hoping that they don't notice again?

And why so long? shouldn't they be ready to be minted right now? ... They are ready to be minted and it should be more like 4 - 5 weeks. Just covering all the bases. I'd rather tell you 6-8 weeks and then surprise you when I get them in 4 or 5 weeks. Quote Link to comment

Last time some of you were searching while others were waiting and some of you that searched got in before some people who were waiting and some of you that were waiting got in before some of you that searched because some of you had trouble finding the listing when you were searching. gasp...

Just because there are so few? Partly because there are so few, partly because I'll be giving most of them away but mainly because I think that's what they're worth. I might be wrong but the market will tell me that tonight. Actually, they're probably worth more than that. I could put them up for auction and find out the fair market value if you prefer.

Later! "1. snarky (adjective) describes a witty mannerism, personality, or behavior that is a combination of sarcasm and cynicism. Usually accepted as a complimentary term. Snark is sometimes mistaken for a snotty or arrogant attitude." I'll go ahead and take that as a compliment. Thanks. Fact is I was being honest. I put a cap on what they cost rather than auctioning them off for what would presumably be much more. now then... 2 minutes and counting... Quote Link to comment

I even contacted a few coin clubs ahead of time to see if there was interest and only one responded. I'll let them have 2 gold like everyone else, the other 10 will go back up after the last set.
