  • The track order page is showing a back order/expected to ship date for 5$ UNC as 4/10/2014 now. 15 minutes ago it was 6/15/2014.
    Half dollar UNC with ship date of 4/10/2014 is now showing back order/expected to ship date of 6/15/2014. These are two different orders 10 mins apart.

    I think they are all screwed up at the mint web site.

    I have 7 confirmed orders but I can only get into my account for 2 of them.

    The first is for 7 proof silver which is good to go and the 7th one which is for a gold uncirculated which says sold out and that was ordered in the first 2 hours so something is not right.

    Could the big boys have had that many of their cronies ordering maximum amounts for them.

    back order dates changed for me too. The Gold Unc is now 4/11, and the Half Unc moved to 6/15.

    I am thinking they have no idea when they will be available.

    I finally got in, too. Gold proofs backordered until 7/1, Gold Uncs until 4/11. I expect these dates to change early and often...

    No way are these sold out! I've seen the "sold out" on order pages from the Mint before and then change to b/o. What a crazy Mint we have!
  • grote15grote15 Posts: 29,811 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I recall in past orders were taken after the official sell out but were subsequently canceled. I'm guessing gold pieces are long dark by now, and possibly silver, too.

    Talked to a mint rep. They will be announcing gold sellout very soon, if not already. They said that backordered orders will likely have to be canceled due touch higher than anticipated sales.

    Silver is selling at record pace too.
  • pitbosspitboss Posts: 8,643 ✭✭✭
    I just ordered another gold proof to see what it said.

    It said backordered but the interesting thing is I got my first order in by 1:15 and this order was put in at 4:30 and there is a 20,000 order number difference.

    How many orders got in before 1:15.

    Although I just submitted an order for all coins and got a confirmation email, the account box on my account says status = sold out.

    Perhaps, the US Mint will analyze the orders and retroactively re-allocate orders as they did for some coins in the past. But we will have to wait and see.

    I haven't ordered from the mint in 15 +/- years.

    It took this coin to get me off the sidelines.

    I just got home from work and looks like I missed lots of activity. Damn work anyhow.

    I just ordered:
    1 2014 BASEBALL HOF CLAD UNC
    3 2014 BASEBALL HOF PROOF CLAD HALF-DOLLAR
    1 2014 BASEBALL HOF UNC SILVER DOLLAR
    1 2014 BASEBALL HOF PROOF SILVER DOLLAR
    1 UNITED STATES MINT REUSABLE BAG

    I got a confirmation number but all say backordered. I'm ok right?

    I was able to get back into the site and order 50 gold proofs, so they are not sold out. That is unless their website doesn't handle quantities and they will just cancel my order later. I have had that happen before.

    My backorder date for the gold pieces has been pushed out from 4/10 to 6/15. Silver still at 4/10. I'm pretty certain gold has been sold out.

    << <i>Funny there isn't a sales counter like the last couple big releases....Maybe tomorrow? >>




    Different game going on here. With the counters there was unlimited mintage but restricted order period.

    Here there are preestablished mintage numbers and an open ordering period.

    I just ordered another 50 gold pieces (Uncs this time) about 5 minutes ago (3:12 PM PST). Order went through and says "Backordered 04/11/14". However, I do not trust their website, and I am not counting on anything.

    numisma:
    Whats your last order number so we can guess at the total orders since the noon start?
    Earliest posted that I see is by erickso1 of 42918xxx at 12:05. Mine at 12:20 was 42920xxx which would be 2000 something orders. My earlier calculation about 5:11 was 31,000 + the 2,000 orders before mine would be about 33,000 orders at that time.

  • "Waiting List Notice " posted for both the gold coins.

    "Waiting List Notice: The number of orders we have taken meets the maximum limit for the 2014 National Baseball Hall of Fame Uncirculated $5 Gold Coin. You may still place an order for this product, which will go on a waiting list."

    Is this the fastest gold coin sellout at US mint?

    I don't see that waiting list notice so I ordered another gold uncirculated and got a confirmation email from them.

  • I don't understand their stated Mintage/Product Limit. Sounds contradictory to me - 50k Mintage Limit but then they say no Product Limit? What does that mean?

    It was fast. Dont know if it was the fastest but its got to be close.

    MajorDuty, I think the "no product limit" meant there was no preset limit on proof or bu but
    the combined mintage could be no greater than 50,000.


    Funny wording but at least they know how to spell. Unlike my local Newspaper. Or some very vocal Coin Dealers. image

    No. I think the quickest that I was involved was in 2006 with the sale of the 3 coin Gold Eagle Set with the first reverse proof gold coin.
    There were only 10,000 sets and they sold out in about two hours.

    Someone is stirring the pot unnecessarily here......the small 1/4 oz of gold is nice, but the uniqueness of the coin supersedes any bullion value.
