Judging by action on Ebay and discussion here, my guestimate is 65-75% proofs.
Now the real question is - has the mint not yet struck any of these coins? Did they for the orders before minting or did the make up a few of each and hold off on the rest until the orders came in?
My card was charged 3 times in 3 months on an AGE set. I called the credit card company and they said everything good to go. But in the end the Mint did not send me a set.
I've been billed and my coins have shipped. I ordered 5 of each proof/unc and they have been 'In stock and reserved' (cancel box gone yesterday) since the start.

I'm 25423xxx and mine is "in stock and reserved" but they haven't charged me yet.
Order says "on hold"
I called the mint to make sure there was no problem with my card and I got...
"That's just a security hold...we do that for any large order (my first is 860..large?). That hold should be there for a week to 10 days then they will ship it"
You never know what you are going to get when you call the mint.

My order is also 254226xx it does not have a shipped date yet, I usually do not see a shipped date until after I have it though. It did not come today, so maybe tomorrow.

That's COOL! Says I'll have all 20 of mine by 10:30 am 6/22.
I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector. Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.
Man this is torture. I ordered in the first 40 minutes, 15 of which was trying to get my order through.
My order # is 25429*** and I am still on hold. The idea that they are shipping some and many people are in process is freaking me out. My card is good and I have ordered via the mint many times. Ugg. Anyone around my order number different in terms of in process and/or shipping? Oh yeah my ship date is now 7/6 as well from 7/5 yesterday.
<< <i>Go here and put your order number in the 'Reference' box and choose the country and your zip code. >>
Mine shows TODAY as the shipping date, with delivery tomorrow by 10:30 a.m.! I hope that's the First Spouse coins, but it could be some silver eagles that I ordered at the same time.
Well, if I receive my sets (3) I am a big winner .
If I don't receive them, I really don't lose much do I? I am amazed that people are already receiving them. I wonder what the first 1st strike (if eligible) 70 set will go for.
How many coins do you think the mint holds back for replacement and lost shipments?

I received 2 of the AGE Gold Anniversary sets right before they cancelled all of the "waiting list" orders. Months after they went on sale. I had placed my order after the "sold to max" notice went up so I was on the waiting list.
When I got my 2 orders, I sent them to PCGS...got PR70 on both reverse proofs.
So I'd not be worried about receiving someone else's junk.

have 5 martha's that have been charged to my CC, cancel box has been gone, order went from on hold to in process a day ago, now its back to "on hold"
called the mint and they said its been "picked for shipment", call the claims dept to have hold released.....credit card has been charged already....so why the change in status?
I have a couple of small orders (2 of each). Of my two early orders one has changed to "in process" with a delivery date of 7/06/07 while the other order remains "on hold" and yet the delivery date has changed to 6/28/07? What does the order status really mean? Why is it open to so much interpretation and confusion? Can anyone interpret the US Mint order status system? What does the Mint gain from keeping everyone guessing????

My first MW Proof just shipped this morning. Looks like the FS deadline will be July 22 on or around that date. At least I got one and won't have to buy in the aftermarket. I really want to try to collect the proof versions of these for a couple of years at least. All my other orders are backordered and were ordered in the first hour. I hope they didn't mint all these and that is what is causing the delay.

Those just went in stock today, and cc charged.
San Diego, CA
Order number: 25431xxx
Order Date: 06/19/2007 at 12:55 AM
Order Status: Your order request is on hold.
Each line says: 1 unit backordered. Expected to ship on 7-5-07.
I ordered 1 of each (and I'm kicking myself), but I do intend to collect thewhole series. I'll be pissed if any get cancelled.
I'm really hoping this goes through. I was stupid and mis-calculated the timezone difference. doh!
I really hope the mint does a subscription for all remaining coins. There's no reason they can't do a 1-unit subscription.

Good question. One of these will be come KEY very soon.

<< <i>They are very strange, my last order 2 hours later is in process, my 15 min 9:00 order is on hold. >>
How many did you order on each? It seems like the 20 coin orders are going later than the smaller orders (IMO).
A set of the 4 different coins is going for $4K BIN on eBay.......

Maybe not but my 20 coin order is still slated for 7/6 and it was ordered within the first 45 minutes.
Only time will tell.

<< <i>How many coins do you think the mint holds back for replacement and lost shipments? >>
As far as I know replacements come from returns or orders with bad credit cards that were canceled.
Economic headlines the mainstream media are hiding from you.
When I got my 2 orders, I sent them to PCGS...got PR70 on both reverse proofs.
So I'd not be worried about receiving someone else's junk.

That sick, I went 10 for 10 on reverse proofs but they were all 69's and they were all first strike. But I am still not complaining.

called the mint and they said its been "picked for shipment", call the claims dept to have hold released.....credit card has been charged already....so why the change in status?
this is the first time that one of my orders went back on hold
the rep told me to call claims dept early tomorrow morning to get the hold released to ship-since the order has been "picked" and boxed.
Good luck. Been there and done that.
this is the first time cc charged and order back on hold....who knows, maybe they started flipping switches late in the day.....
couple times i've considered cancelling. tough call on these doing anything.
i think not.
