These arrived 24 hours ago (D&S and CC&O).
I was startled to see the "oh just toss 'em in and slap on some tape" packaging job that was done – so I'm reluctant (scared?) to see if the coin quality matches.
The Ps and Peace are due in Monday. Fingers crossed.
What an adventure.

Good luck. I just hope I can get enough trade interest in mine .

Imagine having to pack the entire mintage of these for shipping. I've received the same ones you did. They look fine. Appearance is as I predicted -- a bit underwhelming, wrong luster, not very sharp, but otherwise faithful to the original. I've since shipped them to my buyer. I will probably buy some for myself after water spots have had a chance to form on the ones I don't want.

At least you got something. My order still states "processing". When I click on the order, nothing happens.

Same here, Wednesday I got an email stating a cancellation of the 2 Peace Dollars ordered. Stated I should call U.S Mint C/S. Thursday, ended up making 22 calls, using different automated ques, just to get disconnected. Wasted almost 3hrs of typical aggravation. Was busy Friday until 8pm, decided what the heck, I'll call again. 8:30pm I get past automation and connected with a rep long enough to state the issue & reason just to get disconnected! Tried again at 10pm, got through again. Rep stated issue with my CC <although there was none>, was able to pass me to automated CC checkout, then returned to rep, was told order would process Mon-Tues & ship on Wednesday <my birthday> will hopefully receive by weekend. I made a few jokes about the auto system, the rep was agreeable. Fingers crossed....

Box #3 arrived today. And by coincidence so did the Visa bill.
Still haven't opened anything, but I paid the bill.
I guess the next step is PCGS.

If you're looking to get (i.e., pay $18 a pop extra for) the First Strike™ label, the guidance on their web site states that there is no need to mail anything other than the coins if you have the package to PCGS postmarked no later than 11/18. You can send them in the capsules if you like.

$18 extra for adding a label designation? How does that require even 18¢ of extra work or risk for them?
They can kiss my...

I just got my Philly Morgan and my 3 Peace Dollars . Best of what I have gotten so far. My Philly Morgan though appears to have a small glob of silver in front of her nose and faint either clashing or raised areas on top of the middle of the date . I will try and get pics but it’s hard to see in the pictures .

My last box (3 Peace dollars) arrived today. I flipped it, unopened, right into a USPS medium Priority Mail box and shipped it to PCGS. Nice thing about online tracking is it could be anticipated and everything was prepared to do it. Won't see them until I pick the submission up at FUN except when the TrueViews post.

The die crack D coin made me open all 3 boxes.
P, S and Peace are very nice.
CC and O mostly nice.
Ds not good; small lower reverse rim nicks on 2 coins.

No strike-throughs, no cracks, no nothing after a quick once over with the 5x loupe.

I just received and opened mine. When I picked them up at the post office, it sounded like a box of rocks rolling around. I have not inspected any of them yet. Plan to check them out today and if damaged will send them back.

You will a refund and no coins. I asked them about this.

Mailed my 32 coins to PCGS Nov. 3 (Modern Value service and no B.S. label designations for $18 more each.)
PCGS logged them in today (Nov. 12).
I'm not expecting results until the end of January – and I'm really hoping for a 'Genuine-rim damage on one of the Ds.

In the meantime
