When do prices get locked in? Is it until they charge your credit card? Or is it when you ordered it? Right now the "pending" charge is listed as $1193.95 on my CC. Will that be a changing amount until they ship it out and charge it?
I realize the verbage on the UHR web page says the following:
"Pricing for the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin could vary weekly dependent upon the London Fix weekly average Gold price."
But does that mean that people who ordered one week might pay more or less than those who ordered the previous or latter weeks? Or does that mean that everyone who ordered will pay whatever the price fix is at the time of shipping?

You'll pay whatever the price is at the time you ordered it.
I received a telephone call at 7:30 AM in reference to a fax i send last night to the Mint Directors office. A Mrs Stevenson had my order in front of her and she stated that it is now in print status. This means that it was picked then the order was printed up and sent to the warehouse. It could take up to two weeks for me to receive it depending how many are being shipped out. I asked her about my credit card and she said it has not been charged yet. She stated that they have resummed shipping but not a lot have been shipped. I also asked her about FIFO and she stated that is the way the system is suppose to work but they are having a lot of problems with the warehouse. This makes me believe that the warehouse also screwed up the book problem to go along with not shipping orders in sequence.
On Mint website, the Lincoln Silver Proof Comm does not show that it is available for shipping, but it doesn't show 'not available' either. However, it does show as in stock if you order it.
So there is no order to when they were ordered? No FIFO, I thought that was what was being fixed? My order was within the first 15 minutes and still nothing...
BST transactions Wondercoin, MCM, levinll, Zrlevin and ajaan. Been buying and selling coins on E-Bay since 2002 as Monk2580
Now when you put one in your shopping cart, it simply says "backordered" under the availability column!!
Why is this creating such a head ache for the mint? Seems simple enough.....it's been on the books as a product for MONTHS upon MONTHS. What....didn't they think anyone would WANT one??
I haven't received my 2009 Lincoln Commemoratives, but I did just receive the US Mint's brochure announcing the release of the Lincoln Comms via USPS today.

Thursday is re-pricing day, but that guy on the forklift just destroyed all that warehouse shelving yesterday. The new price increase will make up for the cost of the damage to their warehouse.
<< <i>Update... Mint agent said today anyone that ordered the coin on the first day will get them by April 24 and after that each day is one month more. So example 1st day April 24. 2nd day May 24. 3rd day June 24.. So you get the picture... >>

Does not disappoint. Picture nicer and more "real" than PCGS picture of one......Looks like the capsule took a few hits,from that warehouse "mishap". .................Edit...The mint/shipper sent e-mail about "resuming" shipping. Too late am taking my business elsewhere.

You'll pay whatever the price is at the time you ordered it.
I don't think that is correct information. Isn't the gold version only available for 2009.

No need to worry. The Chinese have plenty of knock offs that have already saturated the market.

Well, so much for that policy. The Mint screws up again.
" price adjustments as a result of this process, if any, will be effective at 10 a.m. E.S.T. on the immediately following Thursday."
So I guess we are back to changing prices anytime they want.
