Baseball coins ~ any shipped notifications??

I'm not a coin guy but have to admit being excited by the baseball coins…have read the other main postings
about those buying, purchases being placed on backorder and the shipping dates that keep getting moved back…

Seems that the ONLY coins in hand are those purchased in Baltimore??

Has anyone received their coins or been notified that their purchase has been shipped? Just curious…

Thanks!

    I have this strange feeling that the bigger orders will be first out the gate. After all we do want them
    to First Strike don't we?

    Of course all this remains to be seen. But I do have this feeling.

    OK I'll come clean. I did order a Gold and Silver BU around 3 Pm. About 10 minutes later I ordered 5 more Silver BU's, to my surprise
    the ship date was earlier than the single BU Silver. As a test I ordered 5 more Gold BU's and sure enough the ship date was earlier
    by a long shot over the single Coin I had ordered.

    The next day I again checked ship dates ( my order history didnt show until the next day )and the dates had all changed to ones that
    wouldn't have made the First Strike cutoff . I proceeded to cancel all 6 separate orders I had placed but strangely on the last 2 orders
    the cancel box wasn't available.

    It just seemed that shipping priority was being given to larger quantities. Also it seems that the USMint is gonna ship your free bag
    ASAP. Better to trap you into your order. Or are they that desparate to ship out all their bags?

    << <i>A post below states CC charged today and shipping tomorrow! >>



    Good to know, but my CC was not charged yet, and I believe I was one of the first couple (relatively) online orders. I was in and out of the waiting room nearly immediately at the start, and placed my order quickly in fear the website would crash.

    My credit card has only been charged $4.95 on 3/28 so far. Maybe it is just the bag?

    Edit to add: I just found the email saying expected ship tomorrow. Interesting my credit card wasn't hit for the full amount yet though.

    Because of this thread I checked my order status a few hours ago. It said 4-1 for a ship date. I just re-checked and now it says 4-14. I'm going to quit checking.

    I have ship dates of 4/8, 4/14 & 5/30 all on one order.

    These dates have been pushed back one day, every day since Saturday

    The mint will ship the bags separately because they are in stock and reserved first. This happened to me with my 2013 platinum proof I ordered. The coin was on backorder but they shipped the bag first and the coin later when it became available. I see a lot of waste in shipping these mint shopping bags first without the complete order.

    Ah, thanks for that.

    My order was to ship on the 29th. Then the 30th. Then the 31st. Then 4/1. Now it's 4/2.

    Maybe they'll actually ship one day...

    My order of four coins went through at 12:04 and everything (except the lovely bag) shows back-ordered and the shipping date keeps creeping a day later every day. I call BS. I bet the big boys get to jump the line.

    Just checked my status…again…another day, another date…at least the "cancel" boxes are gone…
    then I decided to check my C/C and there is activity!

    Not for the coins mind you as the charge from them is only $4.95…guessing they charge for the FREE bag just in
    case they don't ship the coins!???

    Anyone else?

    Just noticed the cancel box is also gone for me. The expected ship dates keep extending another day with each day that passes. Guess I cannot cancel even if they never ship them.

    I got all caught up in the hype and ended up putting in about 6 orders of varying quantities of various coins. The next day when
    I saw I'd probably not make the first strike date ( due to shifting ship dates ) I proceeded to canceling everything. I did cancel all
    the Gold but in the last 2 orders , 1 with 10 BU Halves, 1 with 5 BU $1's, the cancel button was gone.

    Its almost like a computer caught me canceling and put a stop to my dirty deeds. Oh well guess I'll check em out keep some
    nice ones and ship the rest back.

    Maybe I'll even slab some. There won't be any 1st Strikes but for me they will be 1st Slabs. I have slabbed Coins of course
    but I've never made any myself.

    APRIL FOOL!

    It's been pushed back another day to 4/3.

    Another order placed the afternoon of 3/29 for HOF Ag (PF and MS), with an original backorder date of 6/17 (now 6/21), has gone from "hold" to "in process", all cancel boxes gone, and CC charged $4.95. (Another order on 3/28 is still on hold...) image

    The silver pieces are showing 4/16, the gold has now been pushed back to 7/17. Safe to say I'm not getting my gold pieces from the Mint, many/most of us will be in the same boat, secondary market for me.

    My "Expected to ship" moved up to 4/3 on the Silver. This leaves only the $5 unc as being back ordered for an extended period of time.
