It's a long gestation period!

I ordered 10 sets of 20th Anniversary Eagle Sets from the mint back in September. After two consecutive back orders (October and early December), the coins finally arrived at my door 12/24 Christmas Eve. I promply packed the unopened box and sent the 10 sets to NGC for grading 12/27. The box arrived at NGC on 1/5/07 as per their site; however, I have confirmation from the post office via the registered mail reciept that they really arrived on 1/3/07. After 21 business days (since their 1/5 date), today (2/2/07) they have finally made it to quality control. I anticipate they will be shipped either today or Monday. So hopefully next week after 4 and 1/2 long months of waiting for the mint and NGC I will finally be able to view the coins in person and not someone else's on the internet. It will be nice to finally view the 20th Aniversary coins in time for the 21st Anniversary. As I said its been a long gestation period!
