I thought the US mint (unc) set was to be released today?

I hope this isn't dredging up stuff already discussed, I've been off line for a bit.

But over the holidays the mint promised me that they were going to release the US mint unc sets early in January.

Today, I check, nope!! They are scheduled for 2/8/11 now.

So, is this the direction the mint will follow this year? Over promise and under deliver? Seems like the government way, but counter to what is usually considered as a measure of success!

    Yes, I'm well aware of what it says now, I'm pretty sure it has changed since the email they sent at the beginning of the year.

    they delayed the release because people thought the price increases were price gouging.
