I found this a week ago on Amazon and did the PRE ORDER. It just showed up last week on my amazon so I was thinking they must be getting closer to release. Anyone pre order before last week?

I pre-ordered mine.

keyman64 · September 12, 2020 5:14PM

In July I was told by Whitman that it was going to be the end of August, then that came and went. But the Amazon pre-order has listed September 22nd since at least late August. I've messaged, emailed and even tagged Dentuck on these forums but it seems he is too busy to participate or answer questions. It's good to be busy I guess. Hopefully September 22nd is correct. I also keep refreshing the following two web pages but nothing so far...

What coin series will this one focus on?

koynekwest · September 12, 2020 6:09PM

Half dimes to gold.

ms70 · September 12, 2020 7:12PM

Thanks for the info Tommy. Just pre-ordered.

davewesen · September 12, 2020 9:21PM

not listed for pre-order on Whitman site yet

ricko · September 13, 2020 5:26AM

I was wondering about this.... I should get on a pre-order list.....will be forever to see it at the book store. Cheers, RickO

He posted an update last Friday on another forum and said they are working toward late 2020 or early 2021.

Then can take as long as they like for a Volume 1 update. I am tired of chasing the coins down and am enjoying doing some upgrades of existing coins instead.

Thanks. Interesting that he doesn't post here. That would be pretty disappointing if the Amazon Pre-Order Date of Sep 22nd is missed.

davewesen · November 6, 2020 9:52PM

got an email from Amazon that looked like a phishing scam. It asked if I wanted to keep my order from March 2020. I went to their website and checked. I did order it in March.

Not a scam, but its been 45 days since the listed published date now. If it doesn't come out within the next 30 days, amazon will cancel the order and we will all need to preorder again. I've been on the wait list since early March as well.

giantsfan20 · November 6, 2020 11:14PM

when the book eventually makes it out, you usually could find it at discounted rate instead of the listed full price.😀

giantsfan20 · November 23, 2020 7:14PM

12/15/2020 according to Barnes and Noble

ms70 · November 23, 2020 7:18PM

I pre-ordered way back when & forgot I did. I cancelled it. When it comes out I'll worry about it.

I’ve always wondered if the varieties were popular before being put in the book or because they were put into the book?

Specialist drive series, they lobby the book. The book sometimes helps niches go more mainstream

You are correct, they cancelled it yesterday. When it comes out (12/15 is next week) I will just get one on eBay from a supply seller.

Sandman70gt · December 7, 2020 7:18PM

My Amazon order was canceled today and I pre-ordered on Barnes and Noble today.
Maybe it'll be worth $200 soon too.

Mine was also cancelled today by Amazon. I hadn’t been able to find it offered anyway else, so thanks for the tip. As you suggested, I just completed my “pre-order” on barnesandnoble.com at $39.95 plus tax, but free shipping. While probably not the lowest price there will be, at least it’s nice and convenient, and now it’s done! Thanks for the tip!

Sandman70gt · December 7, 2020 8:34PM

@winesteven

Not often I get to give a tip here, as I receive more tips than I give, but glad I could help!

cmerlo1 · December 7, 2020 8:56PM

Just pre-ordered on Barnes & Noble. We'll see what happens...

davewesen · December 20, 2020 5:40AM

Anyone have any updates? I checked at Barnes and Noble and they have the last 2 as Nook books (ebook), but no mention of upcoming.

Cameonut · December 21, 2020 4:49PM

Where is @Dentuck for an update?
My pre order at Amazon was also cancelled last week.

winesteven · December 21, 2020 4:55PM

My original order with Amazon, placed back in March, was cancelled on December 7th. As such, that day will live in infamy!

But I did not despair, I ordered it that same day from Barnes and Noble ("Of course, of course" if you remember their old commercials). Delivery was supposed to be by December 22nd. I spoke with them today, and they have not yet received them from Whitman. As my parents taught me, “Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.”

winesteven · December 23, 2020 5:59AM

Update from Barnes and Noble email at 2:08 am - They now expect to have this book delivered to me by 12/31/2020. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

davewesen · December 23, 2020 10:04AM

let us know when it shows up ... I tried to order again and see this ->— Temporarily Out of Stock Online

I went to Whitman website, and they are not even offering it as a pre-order

jesbroken · December 24, 2020 7:28AM

It's really odd to me that a reputable company this size cannot give its subscribers an idea of a release date. Or at least a "we have no idea as we have ran into unforseen problems that only time will cure". Something that will stop the preorders and cancellations and controversy. I have every one since they started printing them and will probably get the next release, but I am most certainly no longer excited about its release.

davewesen · December 29, 2020 4:52PM

a bump Whitman website does not have it listed even for pre-orders

Barnes and Noble -> Ship This Item — Temporarily Out of Stock Online

BJandTundra · December 29, 2020 9:58PM

Must have switched to the same business model as Dansco.

PwrHsePro · December 29, 2020 10:15PM

I ordered one from Amazon on April 30, 2020. On November 6th, they emailed me saying there was a delay. On December 7th, they emailed me and said that they canceled the order due to lack of availability.

On December 7th, I then ordered it from Barnes & Noble. On December 22nd, they emailed a $10 discount on a future purchase because my order was going to be delayed and not delivered by December 23rd. On December 23rd they emailed and said that it would be delivered on or around December 30th.

messydesk · December 29, 2020 11:25PM

CPG 6.2 is still coming together as far as I know. I really don't know what role COVID has played in the delay. I do know that Larry Briggs is one of the editors now, and if you've ever heard him tell stories about his health, you'd be thinking that he's probably been living in a bubble since March.

amwldcoin · December 30, 2020 5:56AM

If Larry's in on the mix I wouldn't count on it for at least another year!

Well, Barnes & Noble just canceled my order

oih82w8 · December 30, 2020 11:02AM

It might get published next year.

tenebrism · December 30, 2020 1:51PM

Like @PwrHsePro, I pre-ordered on Amazon in the summer, got an email about a delay when the September release date came, then another one the following month, and then it was canceled. In early December, I also pre-ordered on B&N, got a $10 "sorry" gift card on Dec. 22, and it was just canceled today.

If it's delayed, why didn't they take down the pre-order pages earlier? And why have they not clearly stated anywhere official that it's delayed with a new expected release date? I emailed Whitman Publishing and they never responded to me. Tried again today. It's pretty frustrating.

I've heard Larry's stories many times.

davewesen · December 31, 2020 3:35AM

The sad thing is Whitman Publishing apparently did not seem to notify Amazon or B&N that release date has been delayed indefinitely...

GStermer · January 13, 2021 12:05AM

Amazon has it for preorder again with a June 15th, 2021 release date. I went ahead and re-preordered it.

jesbroken · January 13, 2021 2:07AM

Why preorder in the first place? Just curious. I've bought everyone since it originated and never had a problem getting one at a reasonable price from Wizard or even ebay.

True, but no real disadvantage either. Amazon does not charge you until they actually ship it. With Prime you get free shipping. My guess is pricing will be similar either way. IMO, pre-ordering or waiting is six of one, a half dozen of another.

PwrHsePro · January 13, 2021 9:56AM

Thanx... I just pre-ordered. You have to actually read the description to see that it is Volume 2 and not 1...

I pre-order so that Im done... I dont have to watch for it anymore.... and if in limited supply hopefully get it sooner than later.

tenebrism · January 19, 2021 8:43AM

Thanks for the heads up about Amazon @GStermer, hopefully this time it won't get pushed back again.

Wahoo554 · August 9, 2021 10:58PM

I heard later this year is likely from John Frost.

keyman64 · August 10, 2021 6:48AM

Dentuck posted a thread yesterday for the first time in a long time. I tagged him and asked but he seemed to ignore me. He did respond to someone else on a different topic though and that person didn’t tag him. It seems these questions have been ignored for over a year. I’ve spoken with other people involved with the book and they don’t seem to know either and are just as frustrated.

messydesk · August 10, 2021 7:50AM

I'll ask around at the show later this week, as I'm sure others will. I'll report anything worth reporting.
