With all the orders that everybody had move from backordered to processing last week has anybody had anything ship? Mainly interested in the S Proof orders. I am starting to get the feeling this was just another glitch and we are not going to see anything ship anytime soon.

Were these late orders? Mine shipped and received a while back. I ordered on first day
It’s really crazy how the mint is doing things 😉
I’ve been getting up every day to try and snag a second one but no luck. As a matter of fact most of the hot issues have come up for a few minutes but not these. I am hoping that Sunday morning will be good
My order been on backorder since Day 1 and I only rcvd a notification that it had shipped yesterday (of course, "Shipped from the Mint" does not really mean "Shipped")
Since I seem to often post in the wrong thread(s) Am I in the right place??
Yes your just fine. Thanks for responding. I seem to have built myself a little job checking in the morning and trying to post it when it comes up. Really strange or maybe not 😉🙀

Dang I forgot. Ya ya it’s the first time I ever did that. I remember things started out backorder,no?
Oh yeah! Things did quickly switch to backorder that day (there was more than a few discussions about the difference between backordered and processing, etc...).
Anywho...Hope everyone else who was waiting on these gets an update like I did!

I received a cancellation email on this a week or so ago. Never called USMint.
What the heck is going on with the mint. Do you think they over sold this product. It’s in the limited edition set. I’ll be dog gone. Showing shipped and canceled. That’s certainly not a good look for them 🙀

I got that cancellation email too, but it still says processing. I've never seen such a mintmess. Some ship, some process, some backorder, some cancel, no rhyme or reason...it's like a shipping lottery.
Type 2 S is 200,000 but don’t forget the 50,000 extra that went to the limited edition set I think it’s 250,000 total. The type 1 has 300,000+. And another 50,000 off to LES 350,000+. Anyway time to call it a night and try and get another one tomorrow morning
I ordered on the first day of release, 8/12. Received an email yesterday that they had shipped, yes, label created. My question is when I receive them in a week or two can I open the box to check and make sure everything is good or do I have to ship the box unopened to PCGS in order to be eligible for the first strike label?
@MsMorrisine said:
these are 1 month past the first strike window
Yes, I understand it is beyond the window. Will PCGS accept the sealed unopened US Mint shipping box with the invoice inside displaying the order date? Proof it was purchased within the time frame required for the FirstStrike designation.

This coin is no longer eligible for 'first strike'; the cutoff date was 09.15.21.
To be eligible for 'first strike', you have to:
~ submit the raw coin prior to the cutoff date;
~ or, submit a sealed Mint box with a 'postmark/packing slip' date prior to the cutoff date.
One would think these would be more expensive than the type 1W but prices on eBay are saying otherwise. I am looking for a graded example for my ase S set. I’m gunna try and strike during the release of the Morgan’s and peace dollars. Or wait until later after the first of the year

Sorry.
It is not based on 'order/purchase' date; it is based on the 'postmark/packing slip' date.

I understand. My fate was held in the hands of the US Mint. On the First Strike page it does go on to say "In rare cases, coins issued more than 30 days before submission can receive First Strike designation." I'll touch base with PCGS and find out if any of us that received our product would be considered a "rare case". It never hurts to ask. The worst is they will say not at which I'll open the box and submit for the blue label with gold shield.
In my defense, the image I posted was from the PCGS 'first strike' webpage.
It says "delivered", not shipped.
That said, I agree with your point. If PCGS bases eligibility on a 'postmark/packing slip' date, it is when it ships.
Thanks for the clarification.
Thank you all for your comments on this. I felt pretty confident it would be from date shipped since the date they were first available to me was the date it was shipped. Aug 12th was the date they were available to be ordered. I'll post back on the outcome. One other item of interest. The FirstStrike program began in 2004 if I'm not mistaken. I've seen 2002 Eagles on eBay with the FirstStrike label. That, in my opinion, is very interesting.
Has anyone else heard of buyers rescinding their original offer to purchase Type 2 "S" coins due to no longer appearing to be eligible for "First Strike" labeling?
Further, did any of the other coins, that have yet to ship from the Mint for those who bought on the sale day, also have enrollments that have already started shipping and are also no longer eligible for "First Strike" labeling?
Specifically, I'm interested if enrollment shipping has possibly affected "First Strike" labeling for the following coins:
2021 Morgan Silver Dollar with S Mint Mark (21XF)
2021 Morgan Silver Dollar with D Mint Mark (21XG)
2021 Morgan Silver Dollar with CC Privy Mark (21XC)
2021 Morgan Silver Dollar with O Privy Mark (21XD)
So. The Morgan’s are processing 😈. Well then, me and the kitties will be up early to attempt the snag. Stranger things are happening at the mint. Good night 🤔🙀💤

One thing for sure. This is getting very messy. I honestly can’t imagine what it’s going to be like for the next couple weeks

No movement here. Also have an order of type 2 Ws that flipped to processing on the same day and nothing as well. Would be nice to see some progress!

To be eligible for 'first strike', you have to:
~ submit the raw coin prior to the cutoff date;
~ or, submit a sealed Mint box with a 'postmark/packing slip' date prior to the cutoff date.
Neither is possible in this case.
Guess I'll just by an after market graded one and set these aside then.

This is incorrect. It is based on "shipped" date.
I understand. My fate was held in the hands of the US Mint.

@HoneyMarket
The 2021 Morgan & Peace Silver Dollars are not part of the enrollments program. Reference
PCGS has not yet added these coins to the FS schedule. Reference
They will likely add them once they start to ship.
Edited.
Tv mike will probably help set the first strike and FDOI dates

My first day order 8/12 has changed and shipping choice has been made so should receive shipping email today😎
My 9/21 order and six 9/25 orders went to processing.
Nothing anywhere. The limited edition set came up for a second. Here comes the Morgan’s and peace dollars

Order placed on 8/22 now has shipping method updated.
Received shipping email😎
Me too.
Me, too. But I actually received like 60 of these already but none of the HHL of 3 originals from Day 1.
All 5 orders shipped. 4 received cancel emails.
The ones that you received already...was that under enrollments?
