It seems hopeless at this point. I cannot imagine that they would NOT ship them if they had them in stock, and it appears that they are fully aware of the March 11 deadline. Therefore, I can only conclude that they have none in stock if they don't ship them today or tomorrow.
The real HEARTBREAKER would be if the Mint shipped your UHR on March 12th. And with my luck, this will be the case.

THIS is even funnier when you do it yourself. I couldn't resist the temptation, but sure enough my SHIPPED order is still IN PROCESS according to the Mint's automated tracking system.
WHAT A JOKE! This isn't even a second class operation. It's barely a third class operation.
Wow, I can't believe there are still some of you that ordered in the 1st 30 minutes and still have not rec'd your coin. That's just crazy!
I sent two letters to the Mint in DC last week, let's see what bs they come back with. Explained the whole ordeal regarding FIFO which we all know didn't and isn't the case.
You might recall that I provided my order #30826874 @12:10pm/ET for your tracking list...shipped 2/27, received 3/3/08 >>
Yes, of course, I recall, but for the love of God, do we have to continue answering my stupid question! Let's just keep this one on the QT! Ok people, nothing to see here; let's move on people, move on!
Can't track any of my orders at the mint but today I got a USPS Priority Mail package from PBGS It's even has delivery confirmation. Did not have to sign for it just get it out of the oversize locker at the Post Office and walk out the door. Guess what I am not going to open it and take it down to Portland and let my friends from PCGS open it for me on Friday. I would tell you what I think it is but why???
I received the email that it is shipping, Dont really care about first strike so I will see what the market dictates. Maybe sell and buy another since I should be first strike eligible. order number; 30843###
This is my first submission with PCGS. Have always gone with the other company in the past.
One other question, I have a voucher for 4 free submission. Do these include the first strike fees and can I mix with other coins that are not first strike to complete the 4 free submission offer. Submit different forms for FS and non-first-strike?
I emailed and faxed Director Moy over a week ago, describing in detail the UHR fiasco from ordering snafus and multiple erroneous expected ship date emails to the complete breakdown of FIFO (with example order numbers and dates). I haven't heard anything back.
Even though I have received my UHR, I am still extremely disappointed in how this whole thing has transpired. I can't believe that there are still first hour orders that haven't been fulfilled. Even worse is the mint's silence. It's as if they think that if they don't admit to the problem, it doesn't really exist. Reminds me of ostriches with their heads in the sand...
I know this will make some of you absolutely po'd...but...here it goes. I ordered at 1:22pm (Mint time) and got my coin yesteday. Sorry for everyone's misfortune. I hope they get their sheit together soon. You may find my coin (pictures) somewhere....
I ordered mine at about 12:45. It was sitting by my door in my (secure) apartment building when I got home from "out of town" on Thursday. It had been signed for by "someone." The capsule was not in the holder. Drove my two down to PCGS on Friday for walk-in day. Got the email from PCGS today. Hoping for good grades...
That would be great if the Mint makes some sort of appropriate response to the calls you guys made over the last six weeks. But, as I said before, I'm skeptical. As long as the mint is basically the single source for it's products, it will be hard to get people to boycott or whatever.
let us know the good news.[/q I purchased, so far, 9 from members, of those 3 were loose, out of the capsules, 1 had so much damage its probably a BB, the other two had nicks big enough that they will 68.

sorry for the blank post... (still having login problems).
i submitted my uhr w/other coins using my voucher. the first strike coins must be submitted on a separate form by themselves. you must calculate postage/insurance and add the $14.00 on that form .
the other coins should be submitted on a separate form, calculate their shipping and insurance cost on that form . indicate the voucher number on both forms.
mail both forms and all coins together (they must arrive in one mailing for the voucher). this was explained to me by pcgs some time ago, and i have not yet ecountered any problems with my submission. but i would follow the earlier post and call customer service and ask... try pcgs faq here!!!
Just to add another data point, I received my order yesterday (Monday). Ordered around 3 the first day. Arrived via UPS in a white box, no signature required. No book. FWIW I never called Customer Service for status updates, etc.
Coin looks great! Obverse has the standard(?) die polish lines, and the "belly button" is present. Coin was in the completely closed capsule, which was in the insert at a slight angle.

What is PCGS's stance on the somewhat shoddy packaging that these coins are being shipped in? If someone received their coin pre-03/11 but doesn't submit for FS until after the deadline, will PCGS recognize the unopened package for what it is or does the fact that the bottom isn't taped on these jeopardize the FS potential?
I received email that my uhr shipped yesterday. will i be elligable for first strike if post marked befor march 11? can I open the box or does it need to stay sealed? .orderd on 1//22/09 6:03 pm thank you

<< <i>my order was 3086xxxx, still waiting and no word. They claim it is "being processed" my card has not been hit yet.
My CC wasn't hit until two days after I received my ship notice email from the USMint. >>
My card wasn't charged until two days after I received the coin (order 30827787). Submitted in person to PCGS on 3/6 at their monthly "Public Friday".
It appears many have received their UHR that was ordered within the first 60 minutes of the release, but I am curious.
Has anybody received their UHR that was ordered within 30 minutes of the release?
the other arrived today, my sweet wife OPENED the box....well, it was addressed to her....hasn't seen the coin yet.
don't you recall posting some 30826xxx on your lists?

well, they took the fifo language off the UHR page, but that was a committment to you when you ordered. it still applies to you.
fax the mint in DC
202-756-6160 (director's office) and complain
good luck and I hope you all get them tonight.
