I can send some of the first day cover envelopes I'm creating your way. On the 19th, you can get the local Hot Springs post office to cancel them. And I think the ceremony on the 20th will have its own special stamp/postmark as well... so, maybe you can add that to the FDCCs. Otherwise, I'm just going to get them postmarked here in DC.<br />If you want to contact, email my gmail account (same name as I use here)Lasloohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11869376645350635619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-57876266491443656272010-04-05T11:04:04.582-07:002010-04-05T11:04:04.582-07:00I just bought some LP4 sets last week that shipped...I just bought some LP4 sets last week that shipped out today.

I mean, the Presidential Dollar rolls had not exactly been a hot item with huge profit potential prior to Harrison.<br /><br />Also, John Tyler has an identical amount of rolls circulating on the secondary market, and those aren't worth squat. You can't even sell them for enough to get back your original investment after paying the fees to everyone. I sell a few things on Webstore where there is no listing or final value fee, so that helps a little bit. But, traffic there is much lighter so sales are much slower. I'm still doing that right now versus paying eBay 9% plus a listing fee on top of that. The 2.9% plus .30 cents that PayPal takes is good enough, since they apply that fee to even the payments that cost them nothing, such as moving money from one PayPal account to another or payment by bank account.<br /><br />I would go back to eBay in a heartbeat if they returned to their former fee structure. The one they use now caters only to the rich sellers, since their fee is now capped at $50. They're now dancing a jig, but the ones who pay for it are the small guys. A $100 item on eBay used to have a final value fee of $4.82. Now, that same item has a final value fee of $9. That's almost double. A $10,000 Silver Eagle Monster Box used to have a final value fee of $171.32. Now it's $50. Yeah, the rich guys have it made and the small guys suffer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-35135497622151251402010-04-04T22:21:38.322-07:002010-04-04T22:21:38.322-07:00I am one of the lucky ones that have sold Harrison...I am one of the lucky ones that have sold Harrison Mint rolls for a big profit. I did not dream these rolls would sell for over 250 bucks. I purchased two sets D&P from the mint and still have one set. My guess on the reason for such a high price is supply and demand. The Harrisons sold out early before many of the collectors purchased them. If you remember at about the same time as the Harrisons were released, the Lincoln commemorative silver dollars, the lincoln LP1's and the new Washington D.C. quarters were selling. Many collectors decided to wait on the Harrisons in order to purchase these new mint products. WHY!! because they only have so much to spend and Harrisons could wait because all previous Presidential dollars were available for months and(or)years after their release. Yes I bought the Harrisons but lost out on the LP1's because I thought I could wait till my next purchase. I decided to buy the Harrisons and the Lincoln Dollars, but waited on the LP1 Pennies.
