    is ready to ship with the exception of the colorized coin which will ship later in July.

    What's up with that??

    We were told the COLORIZED coins would be shipped in mid-July and the Mint has already started charging cards for the colorized coins!

    Typical Guvment operation!!!

    • Edit'd - I don't want to offend that one good Guv'mnt employee!

    As history has shown with the Mint, even the status of "Shipped" does not exactly = "Shipped".
    It only means that someone has printed out a shipping label that may sit in a box for a week before someone even sticks the label on a box for pickup by UPS/USPS.

    I think those that ordered the colorized PH will have to wait a week or two until we actually see "real" tracking data of our products being shipped.

    July 14th....yeah, right.

  • Jzyskowski1Jzyskowski1 Posts: 6,650 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Right on time 😂🤨🙀🦫. All this time and they can’t get it right. A friend suggested perhaps we have a large problem with quality of the colorized process 🥵

  • Has anyone gotten shipped emails for the non colorized? My order still processing with no mailing choice picked

    Got a shipped tracking number for 1 of the colorized coins today (strange it popped up on a Sunday)

  • GoldbullyGoldbully Posts: 17,359 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Just got an email from the Mint…..my single colorized coin has shipped via First Class mail. 👏🏼

    I have a USPS tracking number but it's not yet live in their system.

    Shipped! At least label created, it is Sunday.

    Just noticed this disclaimer:

    "Note: One or more of your items is a pre-order and scheduled for fulfillment at a later date."

    That sounds fishy to me. I'd call the Mint on that one.

    edited to add: Pre-order??? You did that back the end of February for the non colorized, and the end of March for the colorized.

    The Uncirculated Silver Dollar and Uncirculated Half Dollar are both on backorder. If they were included in an order that has something shipping, you would receive that message.

    Yes, but the uncs too have the same ship date. The Mint had over 4 months to get these coins ready for market.

    I always wonder how the Mint decides which orders it ships and which orders remain in processing. Many customers have their orders in hand well before others are shipped, and they're all ordered on the same day.

    There’s been some research into this and even using order numbers, there’s no rhyme or reason to it.  The lower the number, the earlier the order.   I was fast and  early, but mine is sitting in processing hell
    
     This will be worth it if the quality is high. 😉🙀🦫

    I just heard a rumor that the Mint ran out of purple crayons and is having trouble getting a new supply because of supply chain problems. So, this could be quite a problem as they wait for the purple crayons to ship from China.

    Good news for me! I just received a shipping notice with tracking number for the colorized Purple Heart. The Mint attached a note that said a kid of one of the Mint's janitors found a purple crayon and personally colorized my coin. I am so blessed!!

    I bought one, don’t have it yet, in honor of my uncle, dads brother, that was a B24 Bomber pilot in WWII. He was awarded a Silver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal and some others. Unfortunately he also got a Purple Heart when his bomber was shot down by a German fighter over the North Sea after a bombing run over Germany. He was listed as MIA and a year later he and his crew were later changed to KIA.

    I have a lot of his things including the contents of his footlocker that had all the letters he wrote his wife as well as the letters she wrote him. In one of the letters she referenced that my dad had come to see her. Unfortunately by the time I got all his things my dad had passed away. He would have had a huge smile on his face. The coin is just one more item I can have that honors my uncle and my dad.

    Just opened the colorized PH coin...very very nice.

    One of the better recent additions.

    What kind of premium is the colorized version holding over the "plain" version?

    [not even going to care about the secondary market on this one]

    I was actually lucky enough to snag 3 of these...2 are going into my collection and 1 is going to my uncle who lost a lung to a sniper in a palm tree in the Pacific in 1944.

    The Navy doctor said he'd be lucky to live to be 35 or 40 with one lung...he's had pneumonia at least 10 times since and now he's 95 years old!

    $200+ for an unopened box seems reasonable - especially when the asking price on FDOI 69's is $300+ & 70's are asking for $425+

    Time will tell if the asking prices hold...

    Let me guess...His doctors name was Fauci! :p

    Sorry...couldn't resist!!

    The men of WW-II truly were the "Greatest Generation" - I don't think a generation of men (and women) will ever come together like they did back then.

    I have two still in Processing. One was a low number early order from day one. The second was an order on day 2 when the HHL was lifted. It seems that I am always the last one to get shipping from the mint...
