How many minutes did it take for them to go on Back order?
I believed the BackOrder indication popped up about 12:06-08 or so...
After I got my order in, I was trying to help someone else with their order and noted the "Backorder" indication.
They were never able to complete their order...and as some said, by 12:10...everything went "Unavailable"
I don't understand this. It was pre-order the whole time.

Except that the members of this forum aren't "flipping" anything near the entire mintage of any single issue.
Plus, we're not exactly the new kids on this block...so good for us!
Really? You haven't noticed how many newbies are floating around here.
Idc. I'm all for flipping. But people were calling flippers all kinds of names and blaming them for the ordering problem. They wanted the mint to eliminate flippers. Yet, almost everyone who posts send to have bought the max with most looking to trade or flip the extras.

So wait? Some of these were available for sale, but about 6 minutes in it switched to backorder with an October ship date?
No, it was pre-order the whole time
differs from what others have said.
some said there was a 3 minutes switch, another 6, now it was that way from the beginning ?
you three argue it out and give us the story.
The button said pre-order from the moment it went active. I don't know if it changed to backorder later. But a pre-order is a backorder, so what's the difference?

pre-order means they will strike to the number ordered
backordered means they need to strike more ... and they will -- on some releases -- strike more than demand so they have some in stock for future sales.

There is no functional difference when you are at the mintage limit.
I would also add that if pre-order means what you say it does, then it CAN'T go to backorder since all coins ordered are pre- orders by your definition.

My enrollment sez processing. Does that mean it will ship and not be backordered. My different Morgan and peace dollar say backorder
No. My Morgan dollars say "processing" and they won't arrive until October either.
By the way, how is it possible that the Mint has not been able to produce any of these coins yet but are going to somehow ship all 2 million in October and early November? What is the hold up? Boxes? COAs?
No. My Morgan dollars say "processing" and they won't arrive until October either.
it varies whether it says "processing" "shipped" or "backorder" by some type of computer bug. I have tons of old orders that apparently still "processing" for the past 12 months.
I have a Morgan+Peace combo order that shows "processing" and the automated telephone response system says it "will ship today."

I think ... guess .. they did not know what the true demand would be and was going to take 1 week's worth of orders and mint that amount in the future. Had they only sold 90,000 each the idea would have worked well. I did not expect the number of sales to make for a complete sell through, and apparently neither did they.
(note we are now about 3,500 coins below 175,000 for the CC and O. What they'll do about the difference I don't know. but those weekly sales numbers crawl down)
Well that was fast, got my shipping confirmation already on all 3 of my birds. Eveny backorder 1/2, ouncer is processing. I am lucky to have the enrollment with the ASE, was nice not having to worry about the site booting me off.

it's been that way for years.

Anyone else enrolled for the 2021 S ASE Proof and find out too late that mysteriously their enrollment went from 3 to 2? I'm extremely happy I was able to get two through my enrollment but frankly frustrated one was removed without my doing so.
I did get a confirmation but still shows processing, but then again my orders never go out of processing, I have some from last year that still show processing, only other notice I get is in e-mail when it ships. I have talked them about fixing it but never happens.

Has it been determined if these were pre order or they actually will be shipping them soon?
At the beginning it said Pre-Order -- and then it switched at some point to say Backorder. I don't remember how long before the switch, but I think the end result is the same...

Funny, mine went from 1 to 2, but they were separate enrollments. I've been enrolled for a few years and haven't touched it. I got 2 separate emails, 2 Cc pings. Not sure how it happened, but I'm not complaining, I wanted 2 anyways.
Saw the RED this morning, but the button wouldn't work. The page worked fine, you could change how many you wanted, you just couldn't add them to your bag.

I did see "backorder" in red at checkout today but who cares. No idea but I guess these will ship sooner than later.
Just seems like a distinction without meaning.
Good to see that people are primarily disputing backorder vs. preorder rather than "I got shutout today!" vs. "I got shutout again!!!"

Will there ever be another year (from the U.S. Mint) like 2021? This whole shootin' match has been a hell of a ride and it ain't over yet.
