When will the Mint start mailing (and charging credit cards) for the Mercury Dime Coin and Medal Set released early in June? For that matter, any date for mailing the 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter Coin and Medal Set. Thanks!

Seems that the Mint did not know how popular the 1916 Best of the Mint Mercury Dime would be, so they only produced a fraction of the total announced mintage. Those that were first to order the first offering in the Best of the Mint series received their orders first. When the Mint opened the remaining mintage for sale to the public, the coin and medal set had to be backordered. My question arose from the fact that there are many 1916 Mercury Dime coin and medal sets available for purchase on ebay. I have been told that a second round of distribution of the set (backordered) will occur on September 3rd. That is when I will receive my set.
With the information gained from the sales of the 1916 Mercury Dime coin and medal set, the Mint was able to sell and then distribute the second "Best of the Mint" product, the 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter coin and medal set without delay. I received my Standing Liberty Quarter coin and medal set within a week after ordering it.
