Has anyone had their orders cancelled yet by the Mint for the 2011 Annviersary

My brother has an order in at the 83,000 mark and he says his order status is "on hold" and he has a shipping date of 11/12/11 with a backorder notice. My notice for my order is also on hold status, but I have a 11/11/11 expected shipping date and I was in just before the waiting list notice hit.

Is anyone getting anything other than a "on hold" notice in their order status page from the Mint or has anyone had any of their orders cancelled yet? I read one message that someone who placed an order late Thursday night had a "cancellation" notice on their order status page whereas in the first 12 hours they had a "on hold" notice . Has anyone who was close to the 4:30 cutoff time had their orders cancelled yet? My brother's order was in at 5:32 and mine was 4:28. I'm sure I'm getting mine, but as for my brother I'm a little more concerned.

  • If you are on the waiting list (no way to actually know this unless you ordered after it was posted) they won't cancel the early ones until all the prior orders go to "Process" status. As someone's CC is rejected (or they ordered more than 5) the next on the waiting list would go to process and so on until all 100k are accounted for

    It's a painful wait which just compounds the fiasco of Day 1

    How do you know your brother is at the 83,000 mark? With people ordering anywhere from 1-5 sets at a clip, can you say this with certainty?

  • His order number was 38383xxx, he had about 59,000 orders ahead of him. I meant the order number and not his status within the 100,000 sets themselves. I say he gots a 50/50 chance, but so far the only difference between mine and his is that mine is expected to ship a day earlier and my order is also on hold, but mine was placed an hour before his.

    Your brother's number is too high---he'll get a cancellation soon.

    He's talking about the confirmation number.
