Does Anyone Know Why So Many Items Are Backordered At The US Mint?

I suspect that if I were to call them and ask about the delays, I would find that they really don't care.
At least that's what happened to me when I called them back in 2001 about the delays in shipping
out the Buffalo Coin And Currency sets.

    You suspect based upon a phone conversation 2 years ago? Give them a chance and at least call.

    The only reason I can think of that makes sense is the demand is so great. I guess they could be having production difficulties too. That's something they are not likely
    to come out and say.

    Why would they care anymore now? It's not like I have my choice of US Mints to shop from.

    What happened to "double nuclear"?

  • They're probably dog tired from being unable to sleep at night knowing that they're simply promoting bullion coins as being collectable.

    It sure isn't because they are spending so much time on the quality of the 2003 Uncirculated Sets.
