    Yes - but that order has a 2/6 ship date (I'm assuming it states "backordered"). Mine is "in stock and reserved" How about yours? If it doesn't say in stock, there may be future delays, even if it switched from hold to "in process".

    << <i>Hi Aberlight, you may want to edit your message and xxx out the last three digits of your order number. Otherwise, someone other than you could access your order. >>



    Why is this always mentioned as a concern? So someone posted this number: #30857XXX

    now I go to the mint and start accessing #30857001, 30857002, 30857003, 30857004, 30857005, 30857006 . . .

    so what's the difference between you posting your entire number and someone accessing it, and you posting 30857xxx and someone guessing your real number?


  • << <i>someone other than you could access your order.

    Even if they could, they do nothing without accessing your account, which means they would have to know your password.

    << <i>Even if they could, they do nothing without accessing your account, which means they would have to know your password. >>


    An alternative way to access the order is via the 'track order' method which requires the order number and last name. It also has the functionality to cancel the order (if not yet fulfilled).

    I find it very hard to believe than anyone can cancel anyone else's order without being logged in to the account of the person placing the order, using the password and user name. Even the US Mint could not be that incompetent.

    Why do you say up? Seems that the price might go down by $50.
  • You absolutely can cancel someone's order if you have the order number and name. Not everyone has an account when you order on the web. You really have to be careful.

    Not everyone is registered. I didn't use my account to place this order, since I used a different credit card than the one on file.

    All you need is a last name and an order number to cancel an order.

    The basis for the $1,189 UHR price is a weekly London fix average range of $800.00 - $849.99. The weekly London fix average for this past week falls under the range $850.00 - $899.99 which will equate to $1,239.00 price for the UHR effective tomorrow.

  • << <i>All you need is a last name and an order number to cancel an order. >>

    image That is a major lapse in security, and correctible. All they'd have to do is require a phone order to be canceled by phone, and an online order to be canceled by logging in first.

    Edited to add: I wrote previously that "Even the US Mint could not be that incompetent." Well, I guess I was wrong; they are. image

    Everyone has this perception that "It's the U.S. Mint, It has to be safe!". Unfortunately, their system has flaws like many other private sector companies.

  • Greetings,

    My first post - the release of the 2009UHRDGEC is what brought me here. I placed my order on the 22nd with order #3083XXXX.

    I went back to the site today and they've posted that "Product is temporarily unavailable for product repricing. Available: January 29, 2009 at 8:00AM (ET)

    I'd have to believe too that the price is going up due to the increase in the price of gold since the 22nd.

  • Pretty much everyone knows these will be much smaller, but for an good indication of size you can stack two Golden dollars together and that will extremely close to the width and diameter of the new UHR gold coins. I just hope that I am not disappointed by these. The Early Golds are amazing and I do have high hopes for these.

    Looking like the book is going to go for a higher premium than the coin as it is starting to look like it will be rarer than the UHR itself!image
  • Sales are up and running again this morning - now for $1,239.00 with a shipping date of 02/13/2009.

    trozau the "Master Collector" with 7161 posts was spot on.

    That' a $50 bump up in one week due to gold moving above $850ish mark I suppose.

  • my UHR coin and book are scheduled (ahem) to ship 2/6/09

    My AGE proof and unc 4 coin sets ship much later.

    I think the dates were 2/13 and 2/19

    What about the ASE proof and unc coins?

    How about the Buffalo proofs?

    these are my subscriptions.

    << <i>Is there a limit on how many will be made. >>



    Yes and No. It is a one year issue so that in itself will establish a limit. Supposedly there will be no limit during the year but as of now it is still only one per household and of course the Mint could stop taking orders anytime due to lack of blank availability or whatever.

    VERY Ineresting! So we have now confirmed that going from hold to "in process" is not being done sequentially. Perhaps considerations such as mode of delivery are in play. That is those going out by UPS or FedEx might be leapfrogging those going out by USPS.. Alternatively, different clerks may have been assigned to different batches and some are moving faster than others. On the other hand, the change from "on hold" to "in process" may just be semantic and not mean there is any difference between the two as to which coin goes out first.

  • mbogomanmbogoman Posts: 5,181 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Although my order went to "In Process" today, the line items still show backordered with a 2/06 expected ship date. Normally the next step would be to see "In stock and reserved", followed by the disappearance of the Cancel box, at which point I would go to the Fed Ex Alternate Ref tracking and see if it shows up. I don't know if the Fed Ex angle will work with the distribution center - aren't they using UPS now? Does UPS have an "Alternate Reference" tracking method?

    No, because those numbers represent all orders from the U.S. Mint. Based on some extrapolation it would appear that without the UHR there would have been 4000 orders per day at the most so you can subtract 20,000 from that number and comfortably conclude that at least 65,000 UHR's have been ordered to date. I believe someone at the Mint threw out the figure of 75,000 at the end of last week as an estimate though they may have just been referring to all orders.

    Uh OH! Did the Mint's fulfillment center hire some of those guys from the Brooklyn Camera Mail Order Houses that just keep delaying your order for a discounted camera if you didn't add a kit with lens cleaners and also pay for the gold warranty? image
