I am concerned because I got a tracking number on the 6th and it has not been picked up yet by USPS.
I would not be concerned. Getting a tracking number only means the invoice and shipping label has been printed. It could be another week (including Veteran's day) untill it is actually picked and packed and presented to the shipper (USPS).
They sometimes "print" the labels days ahead of actually shipping.
purchased monday, paid for next day delivery, confirmed tuesday, still processing today. I know today is a federal holiday but sure would like to see that it has shipped just for peace of mind. oh well, maybe tomorrow. working on my patience skills.
It has been an effort for sure, and I honestly dread the remaining 2020 stuff still ahead. No sleep for a week.
However, with persistence and a HUGE amount of luck, the silver V75 that I ordered at 9:15 AM Nov. 5th was delivered yesterday. The V75 gold 20XE from Monday at 4:30 AM Pacific is still processing, and the WW2 gold from today is processing that I ordered at 5:30 AM when I was about to quit refreshing.
I am done and very thankful for all the posts about methods to try, and believe me I tried them all.
My advice, is never give up, until they are all really gone and best wishes and thanks to all the Veterans out there.

I completely agee, after it is shipped, then the next "worries" are the shipper, every USPS, UPS,FEDEX truck crash or plane mishap can cause a lump in the throat (all those youtube videos of packages strewn aross the highway).
Then sometimes the next worries are "porch pirates" since they are instructed to "just leave it" without signature.
I was shocked a few years ago when the mint (contractor) told me that next day shipping doesn't necessarily mean tomorrow, it means that when it is shipped it will be handled for expedited delivery instead of slow-poke smart post, but it could be days until it is shipped.

Yes, the risks and worries are endless. I had a shipment of about 50 gold coins stolen 3 months ago that were sent via XXX overnight mail. Insurance paid for more than 90% of the loss after 2 months of review, but the stress alone waiting for an answer was terrible.
So even if/when I get the gold in hand, then I have to decide, do I open it? Make sure it is there? Leave it shut and send to PCGS, and what if they say it was not in there? What is it worth for insurance, or for PCGS grading? I think express service gold shield service at $10,000 max is maybe OK.
I try to collect only PR70's of gold eagles, do I open it to be sure it is there, and see if is scratched? Can you imagine sending one back as poor quality? LOL. Not going to see many returns on this one
The stress of getting it graded and hoping for a 70 vs 69, will be about the same as trying to get one in the first place. What a hobby. My wife thinks I am insane getting up at 4AM all week, and she may be partially right as I did keep refreshing over and over, hoping for a different result.
If I had 50 gold coins stolen...sepuku without a second to end the pain! Holy heck!

FYI. They were "lost" inside the secured mailing facility, not during delivery. And if you want real paranoia, they disappeared in Memphis, where the Mint handling facility is located.
I had an order for a V75 Silver Eagle go to cancelled earlier... mint email said:
One or more items in your order USM083***** has been cancelled. If you did not request a cancellation, it was cancelled because the item(s) are no longer in our inventory and are not available for backorder.
Well I certainly didn't request the cancellation... that sucks!!!
How do they send a confirmation order out on the sale dates... then hit credit card... only to cancel on a customer a few days later??? WEAK!!!
For those of you who got a gold or sliver coin in the last couple of days early in the morning, how did you know they were back online? did you get a text from the mint or something? Because I signed up for the notifications after whiffing on these last week and I never got notified at all of anything even though it seems they have been periodically back for online availability.

I called them on my order this morning right away to be sure nothing was wrong with my name, address, credit card, etc. The individual ones I have ordered were all put in a bag the first day they were offered, but took several days to get the processing through. They seem to be cancelling anything that changes like addresses, more than one order of the same coin, possibly an extra in your cart, that kind of thing.

I'm guessing was probably same thing happened to me... or something similar like missing a middle initial... sort of hard to check that crap when site is crashing as you're checking out and you have to keep putting in in over and over and over and over!!!

Which of course is exactly the kind of thing they are trying to avoid and is intended to skirt the rules. Maybe you'll get it, maybe not. Beyond your case it's an example why reading so many posts talking about cancelled orders and such it's hard not to wonder how many are people similarly involved in some effort to circumvent the rules.

Yes, next day air. I've grown tired of paying for budget shipping and seeing my orders travel the country sightseeing then decide to arrive a week and a half later.
Here is a possible solution to overload of the Mint's website. As I mentioned before, I buy British coins from the Royal Mint. When they have a big issue that overloads their website, they set up a virtual waiting room, and you are placed in a waiting room until it's time to enter the website. You are continuously informed of your wait time until you are let in. This is a fair system and it works. The earlier you log on and get in the waiting room, the earlier you are let in the website. If the coin sells out before you can order it, it generally means that you did not log on early enough.

Very true. I have resolved to no longer deal with the Mint. I don't need their circuses and games. If I want an American coin in the future, I will get it from another source.
Mine has shipped on 7th but usps says still waiting for it. Many on the boards have told me this is normal but I have ordered a ton from the mint, even the ERP did not take this long to move

Did these go to the same address? If so, this would get a big thumbs down button if there was one.
With all due respect, does it really matter?
The whole point of order limits is to sell coins to as many different people as possible. If someone gets multiples, regardless of the shipping address, someone else loses.

Pretty sure I agree. in my opinion no individual should get more than one even if they have two addresses like snowbirds, but according to the post, the Mint sold someone 3 golds and sent them somewhere.
What does the Supreme Court say is a household limit?

The reminders are usually sent to you after the product is gone.
With a typical item, it is released for sale, then you are notified by email, you mosey over to the site and purchase one.
Not with high demand items like these. These items released are only live on the sales floor for brief seconds at 7:30 EST, but recently they have become available at random times.

I used the same mint account and bank debit card for years, but they then claimed it didn't have my middle initial.
They said there was nothinbg they could do, only try to snag an early morning straggler. I hope they don't claim it as your "household limit".

Pretty sure I agree. in my opinion no individual should get more than one even if they have two addresses like snowbirds, but according to the post, the Mint sold someone 3 golds and sent them somewhere.
What does the Supreme Court say is a household limit?

The reminders are usually sent to you after the product is gone.
With a typical item, it is released for sale, then you are notified by email, you mosey over to the site and purchase one.
Not with high demand items like these. These items released are only live on the sales floor for brief seconds at 7:30 EST, but recently they have become available at random times.
Did I mention how unbelievably lucky u guys are??? I can't get one to save my life.
Did u both have them in the cart from a prior day?
Just FYI, next day delivery is not next day shipping. They might ship it a month from now.
just was confirmed for UPS next day air. should be here tomorrow. whew, one more hurdle crossed.
I am looking at various times all day nothing. I would stick with 7:30, 8:30 maybe 10:30 est. The one today was the non privy mark gold, not the privy. I am done checking today. I wonder if any at sales counter in D.C. or Philly. Not even sure if they are open.
