Just cancelled my March of Dimes 5 set order with the U.S. Mint

I used to be able to cancel online, but this time it was either through a phone call or Online Chat Request.
With prices starting to stabilize and perhaps turning to the downside, I decided to cancel, especially since the First Strike deadline cannot be met with PCGS.
I used Chat Request, and it was easy enough, however time is money and I would rather click a box that says 'Cancel.'
Did I miss something here? Or did the Mint change the online cancel order method?

there is no more cancel box.
the only way to cancel is have the reps do it.
I would not have cancelled as the tv types will be buyers on the market. I'd bet you still could get $90-$100 set even outside first strike.
First Strike deadline is Thursday

By the time I got these, it could be September....by then, the prices could be fair market......do not want to wait for fair market.
I'm better off waiting for a deal on PCGS 70 sets this fall....IMHO.

Then why not wait to cancel in September? Seems like no downside risk in waiting, but in cancelling now you likely threw away an easy $75-$125.

Because now I have $300 to buy a PCGS 70 graded set as prices start to fall......no muss or fuss.
<< <i>90-100 is right. Certainly upside compared to issue price.

Interesting that a deadline may be interfering with the sales of US Mint products.
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

<< <i>I know the Mint has changed a bunch of thing recently but is it still the case where your CC is not charged till shipping??? If not then I fully understand not wanting to tie up funds till end of summer...but if not, then what's to lose? >>
Correct. No charges until shipped.
<< <i> Because now I have $300 to buy a PCGS 70 graded set as prices start to fall......no muss or fuss. >>
Yup...you have the money now but you don't expect deals until the fall...

I'm on the don't cancel side of the boat....rather check 'em out, keep the good ones, and return the rest..but...everyone should do what works for them

I'm on the don't cancel, don't return side of the boat . . .
2012-S proof silver dime - mintage 445k - price (raw) about $18 to $21.
2015-W and 2015-P silver dimes - mintage 75K each - price from Mint less than $25 each (after deducting melt value for silver dollar).
Regardless of grade, I consider these dimes a bargain at Mint issue price.

Yes, very interesting. However, we're looking at "the Flippers Market" and not the real market for US Mint Customers. In other words, just because the flippers are pulling out does not mean that regular coin collectors will be pulling out.
As for GoldBully, he has never led anyone to believe that he takes full advantage of the flipping potential for most US Mint products. We all do since 8 out of 10 posters here are either dealers or minidealers that sell for profits to support indulgences.
What is REALLY interesting, is the apparent surge in the coin market that the Internet has had. It used to be that "Joe Blow" (i.e. me) had to wait for the US Mint Mailers and a 60 day turnaround just to get a US Mint Product. Today, max mintages can sell out before the mailers are ever printed!
I did buy an extra set just to see where this one plays out.

Your numbers make sense "until" the back story is known. Specifically, the 2012 Silver Set were pulled off the market before anybody expected and the net result is that a 2012-S Silver Kennedy will cost a sight more than the Roosevelt. Hell, the entire set runs $200!
The MOD coins on the other hand, are having a difficult time reaching that 75K Mintage and Sell out Limit. I seriously doubt that the 2015 MOD Roosevelts will out perform the 2012-S silver coins since the silver sets are a much more popular collecting option.

Maybe I missed something but they became "currently unavailable" (aka "sold out except for returns") as soon as the HH limits were removed only one week after they went on sale. I don't consider that a difficult time for sales.
You can't say that collectors are not ordering sets when it is not possible TO order any....
IMHO the RP will blow away the 2012-S dime ...just my thoughts

<< <i>I am still trying for these from the mint. Maybe a will get lucky. They still have not taken the MOD set down yet which is a good sign. >>
I tried for a couple of sets last week when they supposedly were available but no dice....I know they will be returns but maybe returned because the $1 has a goober on it....it's all about the dimes
I still have 3 before the cutoff sets on backorder....interested to see what they will look like

You say The Mint has a difficult selling out the MOD sets ..... are they now still on sale ?....... what is the present sold number of MOD sets ?

A "week" after they went on sale. The 2011 SAE Sets at 100,000 sets sold out in 3 hours.
