I bought 3 of the 4 gold proof coins but still waiting for them to ship from the Mint. Anyone else still waiting?

    My 1 oz shipped, my 10th oz processing.....the mint is all over the place lately.

    I have a 1 oz, 1/4 oz and a 1/10 oz coming. I called last night and in so many words the customer service gal said that they were backed up. Seems like they could use a Lean person to make these shipments flow….

    I have a 1/2 ounce in hand, another that marked as shipped 3-5 days ago but still has no scans, and one showing backordered.

    The Mint's shipping/order fulfillment woes continue. I wouldn't panic for a month or more.

    I didn’t think of that. Do you get it in a few days after the close of auction?

    Got a 4 coin set and a 1 ounce in the same order in the first 3 minutes. Showed processing until today, now it's BACKORDERED!!!

    Not necessarily. They don't guarantee when they ship just how they ship. I ordered Next Day shipping once and they shipped it 3 weeks later.

    Yes, most of them flashed backordered before they went unavailable. The backorder date was late October.

    Nope, I'll buy one in a few months for spot. I never purchase directly from mint. Thanks!

    There are NO proof AGE's of any year available for spot. Wholesale on 1 oz proof AGE's is currently +$350

    Currently perhaps. Past history however clearly disagrees with you. My bet is you will find at spot and below again.

    Proof eagles almost always carry a premium. Not usually +$350 wholesale. But Eagles in general always carry some kind of premium and proofs are usually $50 to $100 above that premium. In 20 years of part-time dealing, I don't think I've ever bought a proof Eagle at spot.

    My 1/10ther is on the way but still waiting on a shipping notification for the four coin set.

    My 4 coin set went backordered yesterday. It was expected. It didn’t cancel so it’s all good.
    *You don’t pay until it ships so patience grasshopper (talking to myself here).
