I just got e-mail notification from the US Mint today, February 25, that they shipped my order for one 2021 ASE Proof. I completed the order within the first one or two minutes on the first day it was available, February 11. It's amazing that it took the mint two full weeks to ship an order.
I was shocked and relieved that my Congrats set say shipped. What is funny is my CC was the wrong expiration date, but still went through. Now we worry that the post office won't take forever to deliver it.

I actually found that the 2019 Enhanced Eagle was much easier to get from the Mint than the 2020 Privy gold eagle. That was a complete debacle.
I ended up buying the 2019 ERP Eagle from a dealer. From this point forward, that's how I will buy most of my coins. After many years of dealing with the Mint's shenanigans, I'm completely fed up.

This issue was the first where I had eBay dealers break deals on coins on which they had confirmed Mint orders...and then turned around and sold [my] coins at a larger premium to others. In my case, no fewer than 5 eBay sellers cancelled my completed purchases and had their accounts temporarily suspended when they attempted to resell the same coins the following day. To their credit, 2 other sellers did honor the sales.

As I was checking prices last night, I was surprised/pleased that the 2019 Enhanced Eagle has apparently settled at around $2,000.
That really was a great investment for a small amount of $$$.
Argh.... Thanks for opening an old wound. I was on the mint's web site the instant those coins were available and could never get through the check out process without timing out. I subsequently spent a few weeks waking up early every day in the hopes of getting a coin but could never get past the time outs on the rare occasions coins were available. I ultimately got discouraged and gave up.

My third order has shipped... it was the smallest. I wonder if they are sending out small orders first.
They shipped all my orders from the 12th ranging in size from 1 to 22. They shipped none of my later orders which ranged in size from 1 to 99. So it looks like they are simply doing them chronologically.
one would think - my 2 from the 11th haven't shipped; PROCESSING

Many of us experience early morning sleeplessness, shaking, loss of appetite, dizziness, headaches, anxiety, fear, computer stress....yes, PTMS (post traumatic mint syndrome)
Ordered another one b/c first one still says processing

I can finally and happily say my ASE has a tracking #. Congrats set hasn't moved yet, don't want to speculate on how long that will take

they dedicated staff to clear snow with shovels to save the populace money.
Just received a shipping notification for my one coin order placed on 2/12/21. Coming via USPS.
ship notice for day after 7:30 buy
Got my shipping notification too!
Timber!😂🤣
Yes I too received my shipping notifications, separate orders. I am more concerned for those orders of 99, though! Rawhide
I also received a follow up...they said that I still smell and dress funny...but that my coins ordered on Days 1 & 3 have now shipped.
Apparently the floodgates have finally opened.
they've stopped shoveling snow and are now shoveling coins!
Also...for whatever it's worth...Coin World's pricing guide is tagging these at $185/each...that seems a bit much.
Recieved my shipping notice today.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc

This morning, available for several seconds.
Yes...just a flash though...in fact only one man could have gotten it.
Picked up another 12 today.
It’s kind of fun every day. I do realize that I must stop soon as the profit margin will drop somewhat.
I am just curious, how many seconds do you need to complete the order process?

My order for five on Feb. 13th has shipped.
Do you know how difficult to get it?

Excellent to hear and how about for the signed #1!?

I got a second shipping notification. My very first order hasn’t shipped.

All 6 orders have shipped.
Placed on 2-12,13,14,15,16, and 17
**EDIT....UPS update, Tuesday delivery...
I'm completely fed up.
Reminds me of the old joke...Fed X and UPS are finally joining forces to become one mighty company....FED UP.
Mine got here Friday.
Mine is supposed to be here today, but a check of the tracking number shows it is now “running late”. 😞 frustrating
Picked up 10 more today.
