    Trust me, just because I am a 'newbie' doesn't mean I don't understand how the Mint works...trust me I've got it. I just don't have a lot of patience for people/businesses that don't or cant deliver what they advertise. I am in no hurry though.

    the last time the mint created my label, it took 3 days before it started moving

    Not unusual. I had one that took over a week, almost 2 if I recall correctly.

    the mint has moved to some type of non-sequential order numbering system.

    mine that were finally given a tracking number today was a subscription order.

    not to worry, it is a new promotion by the mint. Anyone with no cc info on their order will get their coins for free :p

    Actually the mint thinks they are flippers who want the coins shipped to them first before they get paid. :p

    Only the firstest of orders shipped because they were buy it now kinda purchases. 3-5 minutes in it flipped to backorder which means:
    “You’ll get it when you get it. “Mine was a subscription so maybe different. I got notifications the night before confirming info and such. This situation is new to all of us kinda too much going on at the mint. Hopefully you can follow along as the reports of movement start coming in🤓
    I too am kinda new so I read the heck out of these posts

    they will create a shipping label and say it's shipped, it doesn't actually start moving for at least 2 or 3 days after that

    pretty safe to assume that anyone going into the mint wormhole for a purchase understands that with hot items there are more buyers than there are items. Not getting the limited issue items only means the coin gods were not with you today. What is important (and fair) is that all players on game day are on a level field. It does not mean the mint can't deliver what they sell, they usually do.

    The things I don’t always agree with are always worth considering.

    And a copy of this printed email that shows items purchased, tracking and order number can be compared to the mint sealed box shipping label to prove the contents. Comes in handy when reselling sealed box.

    My most recent order of the set of two 1/10 ounce AGE on August 5th seemed to take forever to get dispatched and USPS Memphis Distribution center finally recd. the package on 11th.

    Since there is actually no mintage limit for these, I don't feel like getting up at 4:30 to play the game. They have sold over 199,000 of the 200,000 in this product version, and more will be available again in some new packaging.

    Glad you are getting these, but I wonder how many will actually keep them, or is almost all this demand to flip? Don't all the buyers know by now they can also attempt to get these at the Mint again for less than eBay?

    Is anyone else still on backorder when you check the mint website? I placed my order at 12:02 on the day of release (8/12), and am starting to grow anxious. Has anyone received any notification of being taken off back order?

    The 2021 S Proof coins that sold this morning were showing as backordered. They may be showing as being processing in order history now but I am guessing they will show as backordered in the next day or so. I wouldn't worry about it too much. There isn't much you can do about it anyway. I have items that have been processing for 3 weeks now.

    Thanks Guys- here's mine. Been seeing some people get their shipping notifications but I guess those were just people with enrollments and didn't order day of.
