My order of clad halves (3/28 @ 6pm) is now showing as in stock and reserved. The gold coins I ordered are showing as backorder still shipping on 6/30. The silver uncs are showing as backorder and shipping on 6/19???? Ok then...
To clarify, I had some coins (ATB 5 ounce) that shipped on 24th. I also had some HOF coins that are IS&R but the cancel box was still there. I called & asked why & the mint rep said they likely would not be shipping anything new until after the inventory.

really? Then why make such a General Statement? Some of us do collect other Mint products. The HOF shipments would have been delayed with or w/o the Mint taking an inventory.
btw, just received an email from the Mint...my proof halves b/o has changed to 7/11
"Bongo drive 1984 Lincoln that looks like old coin dug from ground."
The lack of information and the misinformation reminds me of the Princess Dianna beanie baby. Cost $ 2.50 and sold for $ 250.00 + in the beginning because of this statement from TY:
"for the first month there will only be 12 Princess Dianna Bears per store" everybody lost track of or left off the first month part and
it quickly turned into these are going to be so rare as there will only be 12 per store.
They did not realize that after the first month there soon would be 12,000,000 per month. The whole craze was fostered by the lack of
information, the misinformation, and the crazy shipping of product. "God bless TY Warner"

<< <i>Nothing will likely ship until early next week due to the inventory >>
To be accurate EVERYTHING will ship as normal (yes even the HOF thread appropriate coins)....the ONLY orders that will be delayed are those PLACED between 6/23-29
<< <i>· Quarterly Inventory: Due to the United States Mint’s quarterly inventory, expedited shipping will not be available for orders placed from June 23 through June 29, 2014.

Has anyone received notice that anything (not just HOF orders) shipped Wednesday or Thursday ? Inquiring minds want to know ?

Thats why I gave up waiting on them and the prices continue to drop as people are getting tired of waiting on them and their interests move elsewhere. I will not order any more coins from the mint until they get their $hit together.

Not to be a pain, but in the interest of being accurate, where does it say that standard shipping will go out during inventory ? It does mention upgraded shipping may be delayed. Standard shipping is one to two weeks. No need for them to say it will not go out as they have 1 - 2 weeks. It does not matter to me, however to put an end to the debate, if some members could confirm that anything at all was shipped Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday . Just so everyone knows what is accurate as ther have been several half truths on each side of the coin. Thanks to anyone who can show definate facts on the issue.

Attended the Baltimore Coin show on Friday, and the only buyer I found for the ungraded $5.00 proofs was at table 603 @ $600.00 each. I turned my in to our Hosts under the modern service at $16.00.

From this thread slipping to page 4 I guess the excitement is waning for the HOF coins. On to the Kennedy's huh?
Just got this email from a well known dealer with the links to the pages. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2014 Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coins
Dealer Buyout - Special Pricing!
We were fortunate to purchase the remaining inventory of another dealer at favorable prices and are passing the savings on to our customers. The PCGS Baseball coins that are entering the marketplace now are no longer First Strike, but this group of coins does carry that designation!
This is a Private Sale...
These coins will not last at our special dealer buy-out prices and we are not making them available to the general public until 48 hours from this notice, if any remain.
To purchase, you must use the links provided as they cannot be seen otherwise on our website. Sorry, no refunds, exchanges, or adjustments for prior purchases- this is a one-time opportunity while supply lasts!
We have a limited stock of Original Government Packaging for these items. We will provide that OGP upon request to anyone ordering from this email while supplies last. ---------------------------
I have to say the prices were very reasonable and I jumped in to complete my set with an upgrade of a lower grade coin.
I did not want to get caught holding a bunch of them so I cancelled the rest of my orders.
No one knows what is going to happen with these coins in the future but it sure seems to have quieted down in the last couple of weeks. >>
...I have 50 coming... was going to keep some and flip the rest at some point, but now I'm really undecided. The way the Mint delayed the shipping on this issue really has me re-thinking my purchase strategy... Might just put the funds into something else.
BST transactions Wondercoin, MCM, levinll, Zrlevin and ajaan. Been buying and selling coins on E-Bay since 2002 as Monk2580
IMO - the Proof and Unc Dollars will recover into the low 100's range for raws.
You have a solid profit built in (at mint issue) as long as you are patient.
The flippers out there cant even hold out for a month on their CC's, which tells me they shouldnt be buying in the first place. The USM could solve these issues with a no return policy.

OR...not playing games with production and shipping. Make them available for sale and get them shipped within a month at most. Or do a mint to order with a 1 month time frame like before. Possibly limit to some number....maybe per household or in the first week of ordering.
<< <i>I hope they learn a lesson from all those cancelled sales.
Do it right the first time and all those coins would have been delivered already and all the buyers would be happy.
I'm glad I was one of those that cancelled a bunch of orders.
I sold most of mine right here on the BST forum instead of paying ebay 13%.
By the time you pay the mint the $54.95 and 13% plus shipping to ebay there is not much left for you. >>
BTW...most of us don't pay the 13% that you quoted and the raw $1 proof coins are still selling between $90 - $100. I suspect you left money on the table by selling them on the BST.
FYI eBay fees:...6% FVF...deduct 20% of from that for a Top Rated Seller status. PayPal around 3%....Total fees less than 9% Thought you should know and the issue price was $51.95

<< <i>Nothing will likely ship until early next week due to the inventory >>
Not so, several of my orders were shipped yesterday. 5 oz atb's
A couple days shy of THREE MONTHS to get 1 Proof & 1 Unc. Dollar, 3 Proof and 1 Unc. Clad. (and 1 bag)
5 separate deliveries, spread over 90 days.
It's funny. What started out as true enthusiasm eventually turned into sarcastic disgust.
It will eventually wear off because I really like the coins, but will never order from the mint again.

Possible. Also possible inventory started Wednesday until done. ATB's were shipped Monday & Tuesday. With the mint, who knows?
Without more definate info its just everybody's guess. Keeping everybody guessing, talking about it, ect. is one of the oldest, simplest
and cheapest marketing ploys around. While all the lack of information and the misinformation is not loved by the customers, it's great for sales.

However, the return policy makes it a no lose proposition to anyone with plastic. And everyone has plastic.
So, a no return policy will make those with plastic think hard about how many they could actually pay for - before pulling the trigger.

I sold most of mine right here on the BST forum instead of paying ebay 13%.
By the time you pay the mint the $54.95 and 13% plus shipping to ebay there is not much left for you. >>
BTW...most of us don't pay the 13% that you quoted and the raw $1 proof coins are still selling between $90 - $100. I suspect you left money on the table by selling them on the BST.
FYI eBay fees:...6% FVF...deduct 20% of from that for a Top Rated Seller status. PayPal around 3%....Total fees less than 9%
Thought you should know and the issue price was $51.95
