They look amazing. mine's supposed to be in tomorrow. I originally skipped the 500s because of the cost but now I'm thinking it will add a little color to the set (but I can't afford too many so I'm only requesting 5)

Interesting
 
I received my shipping partial refund on Tuesday, but still no shipping notification. In the past, I’ve always received a ship notice within 48hrs of the actual sale, now it’s 90.
Should I be worried? I’m from Canada if that makes any difference, maybe I’m later down the line and this was a particularly big sale?? Earthquake slowed things down maybe?
 
Did anyone happen to buy an extra sample set they would be willing to sell or trade?
I wasn't able to pick one up and would really like to add these to my Missouri collection.

Please LMK!
Thanks.

Have you reached out to Jim and checked in if your worried? I wouldn't be. It's Jim.

I'm in Canada and mine is at the border now. Hopefully there's no mail shut down and delivering chips to 200 Motels is considered an essential service. Definitely reach out to Jim.

I am confused. You joined PCF a few minutes prior to your comment. How did you participate in the sale if you were not a member until last night?

The sales open to anyone, you can still view the thread and click on the links even if you’re not a member. TCR also has a mailing list that includes non-PCF members. No idea if he emailed this sale out or not (I think he said no though?) but that still wouldn’t prevent someone from finding out. So that’s my guess on Chango’s situation

No reason he couldn’t just click the links. At first I always thought you had to be a member and have a PayPal account.

That’s exactly it guys, and thanks for the advice, I’ll reach out directly (I didn’t know the best course of action). Long-time lurker, mostly I just check into the forum every once in a while for a sale that piques my interest, I like picking up small amounts of minty paulson’s here and there. I’m usually too busy with work to actually participate in forums, but I’m off work for however long this social distancing recommendation lasts, so now I have time. My first “bump” , was a barrel of Grand Victoria’s $5secondaries, and have been hooked since. This should’ve been in the introductions thread but tbh I only ever look here.

Edit:
He's from the future.....
Ignore the lies I just wrote above.
That’s the real reason...

I KNEW IT.

I, for one, am accepting of our new future overlords...

Not sure what the issue was, but Changounchained reached out to me and I sent him the tracking information. Package in route and mystery solved.

The chips arrived and they look and feel beautiful. Jim must have run out of boxes because almost half my order was in a padded envelope.

Nevertheless, CHECK THESE OUT. My first set of actual Paulsons.

Chips are from '08 so there is no lead. Paulson went completely lead free in '06

Are all the chips, the secondaries also from 2008? If so I'm gold.

Just for a lark, I went to look up what the primary chip looked like. Ironically I like the four spot design of the secondary a bit better. The $1 chip has four small blue marks on them.

The 50 cent chip has three marks on it and the $1 chip which the picture is too small for me to copy but it has four small blue stripes along it's perimeter.

Some of the chips were shipped in boxes and some were in bags. At one point all of the chips were in racks in the cage and I have noticed some marks on some chips where they did inventory checks. Not sure why properties rack their secondary chips. They should just keep them boxed, then they would not have to do inventory checks on them.

You know Jim, it's funny because I screwed up my order. I planned to order 100 50c chips and got 100 $100s by mistake only planning to buy 50 of them. I got so caught up in the moment of OMG I'm GETTING A PAULSON set that I didn't even think to check the order until I went to calculate my per chip cost. Still, I like these so much I'm going to end up keeping the extra hundos. I found a person who sold me a rack of the 50c, so it cost me a bit more but I have a pretty-much complete set now.
 
Post office is jacking around with mine...looks like I won't get my chips till Monday. Hopefully its just a tracking screw up, was looking forward to unboxing tonight!

Yeah I was deeply saddened yesterday when nothing was delivered, but I guess there's stuff going on in the world . . .

I got the delivery of 20 pounds of legos that I bought the day AFTER these lol. They're just sitting at the distribution center.
