Trust me, just because I am a 'newbie' doesn't mean I don't understand how the Mint works...trust me I've got it. I just don't have a lot of patience for people/businesses that don't or cant deliver what they advertise. I am in no hurry though.

the last time the mint created my label, it took 3 days before it started moving

Not unusual. I had one that took over a week, almost 2 if I recall correctly.

coinpalice · August 18, 2021 9:03AM

yeah, i know, trying to set a time line for the new people

Mgarmy · August 18, 2021 9:31AM

I wonder if the free shipping is going to bite me

coinpalice · August 18, 2021 9:40AM

no, but the people who have no cc info on thier orders might bite them

Jzyskowski1 · August 18, 2021 10:18AM

Here we go.

not to worry, it is a new promotion by the mint. Anyone with no cc info on their order will get their coins for free

o0o · August 18, 2021 12:19PM

Anyone whose order got shipped can share the first few digits of order#? both of my orders are backorder.

MsMorrisine · August 18, 2021 12:23PM

the mint has moved to some type of non-sequential order numbering system.

mine that were finally given a tracking number today was a subscription order.

My higher order number coins shipped first.

Does not matter you will get them when you get them.

Actually the mint thinks they are flippers who want the coins shipped to them first before they get paid.

HATTRICK · August 18, 2021 12:52PM

mine have shipping label printed but not live in the tracking system yet.

Only the firstest of orders shipped because they were buy it now kinda purchases. 3-5 minutes in it flipped to backorder which means:
“You’ll get it when you get it. “Mine was a subscription so maybe different. I got notifications the night before confirming info and such. This situation is new to all of us kinda too much going on at the mint. Hopefully you can follow along as the reports of movement start coming in🤓
I too am kinda new so I read the heck out of these posts

jwitten · August 18, 2021 1:16PM

My s mint silvers should be delivered tomorrow!

mintymint · August 18, 2021 5:28PM

do they email you when it ships?

CoinMeister · August 18, 2021 5:32PM

@mintymint said:

Yes. You will also get a tracking number.

coinpalice · August 18, 2021 5:59PM

they will create a shipping label and say it's shipped, it doesn't actually start moving for at least 2 or 3 days after that

...or eight - nine days! But who's counting! :'(

One of the coins may have fallen off the package and they're trying to locate it before shipping to ensure it has the proper postage!

pretty safe to assume that anyone going into the mint wormhole for a purchase understands that with hot items there are more buyers than there are items. Not getting the limited issue items only means the coin gods were not with you today. What is important (and fair) is that all players on game day are on a level field. It does not mean the mint can't deliver what they sell, they usually do.

And a copy of this printed email that shows items purchased, tracking and order number can be compared to the mint sealed box shipping label to prove the contents. Comes in handy when reselling sealed box.

Jzyskowski1 · August 19, 2021 4:36AM

Looked this morning backorder popped up but pressing it did no good. It’s ok ase S

tahbb143 · August 19, 2021 8:13AM

Mine should arrive on Monday.

Excited to see 'proof' of life photos for those lucky enough to receive them today.

Jzyskowski1 · August 19, 2021 8:26AM

Mine is showing Monday delivery too. Let’s hope so you and I and any others can have a friendly race to post pictures. Enjoy 🤓🙀

Mine still says check back tomorrow for updated delivery date....maybe it will come together in Oct with all the other coins!

Mgarmy · August 19, 2021 10:27AM

I am still in processing but my shipment method has been changed to USPS

Mgarmy · August 19, 2021 1:28PM

My most recent order of the set of two 1/10 ounce AGE on August 5th seemed to take forever to get dispatched and USPS Memphis Distribution center finally recd. the package on 11th.

Onastone · August 20, 2021 4:32AM

Woo Hoo!~ Picked one up this morning!!!! Friday the 20th~

Mgarmy · August 20, 2021 4:32AM

I picked up another S this morning. Went straight through …weird

spotthedog · August 20, 2021 4:33AM

I've had 3 in the bag since day one. It looks like they went through this morning.

meluaufeet · August 20, 2021 4:34AM

3 S

Order Placed: Aug 20, 2021
Order Number: USM1135XXXX

CXD · August 20, 2021 4:41AM

picked up two more - just messing around at 7:30, seemed smoother than normal

OLC · August 20, 2021 4:42AM

I got one this morning also. Card charged but nothing in order history. Never got email from mint.

LMM · August 20, 2021 4:42AM

I got the dreaded browser check

Dirt94 · August 20, 2021 4:50AM

That seems like that’s been happening to me every morning at 6:30. By the time it’s done the goods are gone.

Same here. A bit frustrating.

Goldminers · August 20, 2021 8:53AM

Since there is actually no mintage limit for these, I don't feel like getting up at 4:30 to play the game. They have sold over 199,000 of the 200,000 in this product version, and more will be available again in some new packaging.

Glad you are getting these, but I wonder how many will actually keep them, or is almost all this demand to flip? Don't all the buyers know by now they can also attempt to get these at the Mint again for less than eBay?

DeepValueCoins · August 20, 2021 10:14AM

Is anyone else still on backorder when you check the mint website? I placed my order at 12:02 on the day of release (8/12), and am starting to grow anxious. Has anyone received any notification of being taken off back order?

The 2021 S Proof coins that sold this morning were showing as backordered. They may be showing as being processing in order history now but I am guessing they will show as backordered in the next day or so. I wouldn't worry about it too much. There isn't much you can do about it anyway. I have items that have been processing for 3 weeks now.

Mgarmy · August 20, 2021 12:19PM

Yep. Back ordered.

Same here. (The processing order is the Coast Guard medal)

DeepValueCoins · August 20, 2021 1:13PM

Thanks Guys- here's mine. Been seeing some people get their shipping notifications but I guess those were just people with enrollments and didn't order day of.

Onastone · August 20, 2021 3:13PM

My first order of S's have shipped, today's S is backordered.
