Wow they are not even shipping them themselves. They first go to a depository and then you have to get an account with the depository and tell them to ship them or pay to store them you. Hummmm quite A few hoops to jump. I might would do it if I were home, my wife just bought some hoola hoops for the kids :)

The depository is a new wrinkle. I'm not familiar with them or what it will cost to have the coins shipped. Any one know them?

The issue (and why I'm not jumping as I almost always do) is that you set up an account but I do not think that automatically entitles you to the ATB set.

They might just get you to make an account and say, "sorry we are out".

I'm not certain this is the case, but it definitely feels and reads that way.

Well I jumped through the various hoops and these finally showed up today. $927 including shipping so I think it was actually my cheapest set. Seems like some of the froth of ebay has worn off by now though. At this price, it still seems like a great deal. They are not slabbed; they came in plastic flips.

I got it. It took a LONG time for my order to be processed and then for coins to become available from the repository. I had them shipped and finally received them about a week or two ago. I never doubted I would get them, but it took a very long time. The coins were about in the same shape as my other bullion sets, nothing special either way. For the price it was definitely worth it.

How long was it from when your shipping/handling check cleared until you got the coins?

It was about 2 to 3 weeks after the check cleared when I got the coins delivered. The entire process was very slow.
