Got mine too!  The USPS did a good job of trying to lose mine (package beaten up).  When I started to open the package some coins fell out!   :censored:!!!  But, all was found to be OK after I counted the loose tokens and all were still there!  Whew!!!

Great job on the tokens this year everybody!   :cheers:

We did different packaging this year...  I would be interested to know as people report in whether the coin rolls held together.  So far we are 50/50 - that's not so good.

You are indeed too late for the first round- we sold right out.  I *may* order more brass soon. I just need to confirm I won't lose money with the 2nd round of price hikes at the mint.

I wouldn't count on seeing nickel again this year.

Santoro,

How can I find out if my order shipped yet?

All US orders shipped Monday and International shipped today.  (International takes more manual intervention and waiting on line at the Post Office.)

Khaw...Those are soooooo nice. I am glad I ordered the nickle. BTW Both rolls were in A+ condition. I have such a bad urge to do the cash register thing and crack the thing in half and spill em all. You know for such tiny text, it is very readable. They look so nice. By far the best yet. It is odd that the best batch was the least sold. If people knew how cool these are they would all want some. And no Santoro did not pay me to say such things. These are just great. It is a great design and the slogan...Well it is not One Token to Rule Them All...But it still looks great.  :cheers: Cheers. Woot and all that.

Two of the rolls I received were cracked.  No tokens escaped from the rolls however.  The additional bubble envelope helped I'm sure.

I cannot seem to find the classified ads that are normally with my order...   :hissy:

3 of my 8 rolls were busted and had coins loose in the packaging.

FORTUNATELY, you double packed everything and there was NO CHANCE of coins escaping!  So, no worries!

I agree. These are absolutely stunning. I think the only reason for any less demand would be market saturation from previous years. But if you only buy one year, this should be the one!

The tokens look awesome!  The detail is incredible.

Everything was well packaged, but one roll broke open.  Thanks Santoro.

Just received my coins. Packaging was still in one piece. One roll had a slight tear, but no probs there. Delivery is quick to the Netherlands. I feared it might take a lot longer still.

Thanks
