Is this thread long enough yet? Can I divert to numismatic issues?
I got many orders of 2007 Washington's and 2009 Sacagawea's. But so far for what I've received, all of the Washingtons are D-mints and all of the Sacagaweas are P-mints. Everything else has come in P's and D's.
Has anybody gotten Washingtons with P-mint marks or Sacagaweas with D-mint marks? just wondering.
Also is it just me, or has anyone noticed that the quality of the minting process is absolutely terrible now? For uncirculated coins, these things have a tremendous number of nicks, gouges and scratches.

So who is the FT'er who has been depositing $1 coins at the Wells Fargo in-store branch at Fry's Marketplace on Warner in Chandler, AZ? 
I go in with my latest $750 batch - first time at this location - and the teller next window over asks, "Ordering online?" I mention I must not be alone. He then says some other customer is earning enough for a free plane ticket.

Not sure if I mentioned it earlier, but the same thing happened to me at a Chase branch in Chicago when I took in my first deposit. "Are you the guy that always brings these coins in?" Haha, that made me feel good.

UNCIRCULATED are available, but at a much steeper price not worthy of mention in this thread about how to use this process to gather miles/points.

More Money, Less Problems
If you are approaching your limit and worried about back orders kicking in, why not simply call your cc company and request an increased line of credit?

It's not that easy these days. With banks tightening credit it is by no means assured that you will get the increase. And it will cost you a hard pull of your credit report.

Amex is particularly difficult about this. I like to use the SPG card and I have to constantly watch the limit. It's very annoying.

I was able to go to the site and order up $5500 (20 & 2) but it seems to add $4.95 shipping is this right?
Can someone point me to the right place in this thread where it talks about depositing this money into and acct. and what the banks report/frown on?
Thanks!

The bank doesn't "frown" on the deposits, the government requires them to do certain reports. If you exceed $10,000 in cash/coin depostis or it appears you have structured deposits to avoid the $10,000 threshold in any one day, they are required to fill out a form. Buying coins and depositing them is legal and should not require the form (you are subject to the $10,000 rules) and is not a taxable transaction.
If you take your coins to the bank and buy a money order/cashiers check, there is a lower reporting threshold, not sure the exact amount, but $2,500 will trigger the report.

Some banks will hassle you about depositing large amounts of coins. It's not a legal issue, they just don't like dealing with them.

AMEX HHonors Surpass - Diamond status with $40,000
Anyone hoping to use this to reach a spending threshold for higher status with your creditcard? I just signed up for the AMEX HHonors Surpass, and I'm hoping to reach the $40,000 threshold for Diamond status with this little program. I've only got $9,000 in spending total this year on the AMEX, so I'm going to need to run about $20k in dollar coins in the next 7 months on top of normal spending to make it. Gonna be a little tough, but I have a feeling that it's possible. Anyone else?
