Either returns or they are doing another run. I ordered a few more. Better if they were returns and not doing another run keeping the mintage at 15K. Since you can't cancel without calling them, the mint is getting an idea of the demand for the set now with the backorder status. Free shipping over $100.

1) I don't think it's returns but rather they still have almost 35k to mint before they hit the sell out limit of 50K.
2) The Mint had produced a quantity of them (can't remember the exact number, but in the thousands) before the order start date. It was obviously popular and then the enhanced buzz started and they sold out of the first production run. And I see no reason why they wouldn't keep production going until the 50k limit as they know they have a winner on their hands.
3) Even at 50k it should prove to be a valuable catch for a modern coin that has a popular following.
This may sound counter-intuitive, but hey, I am talking about the US Mint.
If the Mint had the 50K made they would have shut down the frenzy with Family Limits because the Mint just can not stand the 'folks' making money on a flip based on the Mint's unintended actions (screw-ups).
Remember that inherent Mint 'jealousy' when figuring out the "Wilfred " move the Mint makes later when it tries to repair a screw-up.
It takes two weeks to haul them out of a warehouse? No way.
The Mint aint' making these coins between now and December 31st.
Mint people take their Holiday/Vacation days in December in a creative manner that would just astound a regular "working joe" .
This is the MINT selling off what they have left, IMHO.
Did anyone notice the "Out of Stock" has not been removed at the higher level Web Page?
They are doing a 'shoulda-woulda-coulda'type tally to see how they goofed this one up.
I was ‘COINB0Y' with 4812 posts and ‘Expert Collector’ ranking (Joined in 2006).
I hope this is just getting rid of returns and that no one gets to order-happy on these. A big response might prompt them to fire up the presses although I still lean toward the feeling that they are more inclined to looking forward to the eggnog.
Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.
So how come I haven't been notified by email that they can be ordered or is the notification only for when they are in stock???? I did sign up to be notified.
Now, the next question is should the sets in hand be kept sealed in their box for FS eligibility if future sets ship beyond the 30 day window? I know there are a few on here that have broke their boxes open.
<< <i>Well I probably missed the boat on this, but I just placed an order for 10. Site says backordered with Dec. 8th as the back in stock date. We'll see. >>
Did you get a order confirmation? They might have pulled the inventory from the HQ kiosk and are blowing them out the door.

I'm telling ya, (see post a few hours ago) the Mint was just doing a 'shoulda-woulda-coulda'type tally to gauge the degree to just how they goofed this issue up.

This stinks got two orders in! Both went thru got confirmation, now in my account it shows one on hold with a 0.00 total and one backordered with a 0.00 total! So, I think these puppies are done! I don't think the Mint would do that to both my orders the first one even says it is going out UPS Ground Sig Adult. Anyone know what my chances are of getting these?
As of right now my debit card is still pinged for both orders! I still have a sick feeling, I was so happy I could snag a couple more of these!
I made a small order to just follow from the inside and my order shows 0.00+4.50 shipping. You don't suppose they are not charging for some returned dogs?
Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.
You will be seeing these offered again. To the tune of another 15,000 initially, maybe even more. I suppose the USM has to determine how many more should be packaged for sale.

If they intended to make more why wouldn't they just keep selling them in a backorder status?
Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.
I had confirmations for all my orders today when I ordered around 11:30 AM. The status in the queue is listed as backordered. CC pinged but when on backorder status. At least I am in their system and don't have to watch the mint web site if they become available. These could be sold out. If they have some over the counter, do the online orders take precedence over the counter stock? More than likely the counter stock is all gone too.

Frankly I have no opinion as I have dealt with the mint for many, many year and learned not to try to second guess them. If they haven't minted the coins, I don't believe they will grind out more this late in the year unless their presses are sitting idle. If they do have the coins, then they just might package them up and ship them out. Who is to really know what they are going to do?
I'll bet the workers are PO'd. Billions of prezzies jamming every corner of every floor of vault space and they have to run a few thousand of these things.
Out of stock makes perfect sense...no doubt more are on the way. With the new mint inventory system they are only selling what they have in stock, which is much better to gauge interest.
It would seem to me that selling a small batch at a time to drive more interest in a given release is a good retail formula. How many here ordered extra because of the perceived low mintage... I did.
Job well done US MINT.

Look at the 2014 gold buffalo. It shows out of stock and the little gold hourglass and backorder button is gone.
The TA9 has the little icon, that says it will be coming back soon. >>
If that were true, why can't they actually be backordered? The Mint could easily take another 15k backorders if they actually have the product. Look at the Kennedy set. You CAN backorder these, backorder hourglass, Qty. and backorder button. I BO'ed a few a couple days ago and have yet to be notified they are shipping.

Opened up mine today. One of them had the dollar offset to one side to a large degree. About 20% of it was covered by the paper part of the frame. I tried to free it back into the window but it wouldn't budge. I tried several different methods & finally got angry and just opened it up. Turns out it was glued to the paper frame and I could not release it without it tearing. So I tore it out, taped it up & put it in my wallet. The coin was pretty clean so maybe I'll sent it in for plastic.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Maybe they had enough coins struck, but were lacking in one or another part of the packaging. Maybe they needed more $1 bills or the packaging itself. Remember the UHR books???

Right.
So the US Mint announces a maximum of 50,000 sets, of which, 14,073 sell in a little over a week so these are just "gone"?
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
I luckily stumbled across the b/o opportunity this morning while waiting at the docs office. Noticed it had a cap on orders, would not let me order 20,000 more...or 50 for that matter. 25 orders worked so snagged 'em. Oh what fun on a smartphone placing this orders.
Anyway, the email confirmations came quickly and oddly made no mention of b/o status. Neither does the order history show them b/o'd. CCs are pinging as usual.
As I recall, when I made the orders, it did give an estimated date of shipping. I THINK it was 12/8 -- is that correct? I didn't worry since in the past, the date would be show in the order status and confirmation email.
And no...I didn't get an email notification either regarding the ability to b/o.

I think that if it were earlier in the year they would probably make more but what they probably did was make a guess as to how many they would sell and made them with no plans to go through the process of making more and getting more packaging. I do think they will gear up next year with a similar product and make a few more.

I don't think the US Government is lacking in FIAT though maybe they are when it comes to little old $1 bills!!! Generally you only see pictures of pallets of $100 bills come to think of it.

That has always been the case for this product. They either had a second run, or they are selling approx 1k of unsold ones from the 1st run of 15k.

Lots of processes have changed in the new USM site. This is one of them.
Product Limit is 50,000. No one should even expect them to just cut off sales at 15,000.
Backordered/Out of Stock means exactly that.....they will be offering more. I would suspect within a week or so.
