Where are my quarter ounce (2006) plats, Mint?

renman95 · January 9, 2007 9:41AM

The date has moved back like a chinese water torture. It started sometime late December, 1-1, 1-3, 1-5, 1-8, 1-10, 1-15, 1-18, 1-20, and now 1-23. I have all my other combos but the quarter-p. Anyone else running into this sit.

LALASD4 · January 9, 2007 9:43AM

1/24 now.

08HALA20 · January 9, 2007 9:43AM

Yes,

My 1/2 oz is backordered all the way to 1/24/07

What say we move the date to 2/3/07 ?

LALASD4 · January 9, 2007 9:50AM

What say we move the date to 2/3/07 ?

Then they don't need to move the date again for a week and a half.

RotatedRainbows · January 9, 2007 10:42AM

<< 1/24 now. >>

Thats what mine says too.

renman95 · January 9, 2007 11:44AM

...so much for the coveted "First Strike." That and a MS69 will net me less than raw.

fastrudy · January 9, 2007 12:18PM

Half of my order has been delivered, the other half is afflicted with the creeping date disease. Everyone has made or will make money on these issues. Saying you will make more or less this way as opposed to that way is a prediction that may or may not be true. I guess its human nature (greed) that makes all of us want to sell at the highest price. We all picked it up at the lowest price, anything above that is gravy. No sense crying over an as yet to be determined prediction. I always miss the highest high when selling stock and have learned to be okay with it, as long as I make something. Kwitchyerbellyaching!

You don't want them to rush and not have them be perfect, do you?

It can be frustrating to collect coins from the future, because they don't exist. When the future becomes the present, your coins will arrive.

Any particular stock you want to see in the toilet?

I'll buy a few shares, and you can just kiss it goodby. I seem to have this strange power

COINB0Y · January 9, 2007 4:03PM

pssst......they ain't comin'....

I'm really sorry to say this.....they did it to me on my 20th Silver sets for two freak'n months, then the date turned to 'Not Availiable'.....

..they just ain't comin'....

30AnvZ28 · January 9, 2007 4:23PM

Why if you go to the website, and try to order the 4 piece set (Proof) at least... does it say in stock?

fastrudy · January 9, 2007 6:28PM

Hey Coinboy!
"they aren't coming" is a rather disturbing comment for many people on this thread. Who made you the expert? Is your prediction of a greater merit just because you were fortunate enough to have scored at least 30 pieces of Platinum? Easy with those pats on your back, Coinboy, it's affecting your head.

BTW, congrats on your fortuitous acquisition! You must be delighted with all that profit. Now be nice.

mackdriver · January 9, 2007 6:58PM

What Fastrudy said.

COINB0Y · January 9, 2007 10:44PM

fastrudy:

I haven't sold a single coin, nor do I intend to.

I am being nice, but also realistic based on my experience in Waiting For Godot aka' The 20th Silver sets that never arrived.

Anyway, it was late and my father is a retired Marine, so I would never cause harm. My apology if it came off that way.

fastrudy · January 9, 2007 10:46PM

coinboy,
Apology accepted. Let's all try to enjoy our new found success.

Your father MUST know all about compassion for the ones that didn't make it. The coin forum members who are complaining about the backorder status need to vent and cling to hope. It is better to have hope in your soul than soap in your hole.

renman95 · January 9, 2007 11:26PM

Oooooh Rah!!

renman95 · January 9, 2007 11:58PM

....drip, drip, drip, 1-25 now...

The Mint accepted orders for the 20th, even after the sell out. I'm sure a lot of people had their orders cancelled.

They didn't take orders for the Plats after the sellout. They sold out and that was it.

I can't say who will get their coins, but to compare the situation to the 20th would be wrong.

puritan9 · January 10, 2007 6:08AM

I think we all should be positive. They will come, they will come, they will come.

itsnotjustme · January 10, 2007 7:27AM

My Half Ouncers keep moving back too.

30AnvZ28,
You answered your own question... proof. We are all talking about the W mint mark Unc coins....

fishcooker · January 10, 2007 11:57AM

If we all say they are still coming, that might make it true!

FullStrike · January 10, 2007 12:08PM

Same sit here. 4 - 1/2 Oz Plat Proofs - now expected to ship 1/25/07.

GAT · January 10, 2007 12:15PM

It isn't logical that all the fractional coins haven't been shipped with their small mintages.

renman95 · January 10, 2007 1:09PM

<< It isn't logical that all the fractional coins haven't been shipped with their small mintages. >>

It all makes no sense. I got one 4-coin set, 1 ounce single, 1 half ounce single, and 1 quarter ounce single. I've had all of these graded, returned to me (wainting to go on the 'bay.) And yet, I'm still waiting on 2 quarter oz's. I ordered some of the singles after I ordered the 2 quarters. Makes you wonder about their accounting. I think the distribution of these low mintage plats are low on the Mint priority...I mean, how many people are they going to upset compared to a big commem program. We're on the back burner, ladies and gents.

fishcooker · January 10, 2007 9:52PM

Maybe someone with "priority" jumped to the head of the line and bought the remaining supply.

ttown · January 10, 2007 9:55PM

Well I got my 1/4 oz W gold coin yesterday and to my surprise it came in a huge box! Maybe they have a packing issue.

renman95 · January 10, 2007 11:12PM

....drip, drip, drip, Jan26....the is lame. I'd call the Mint to find out, but the last time I did this I spoke with Miss "Prozac" and got more frustrated. Did anyone see where the Mint was one of the best gov't agencies for customer service?

renman95 · January 12, 2007 2:00AM

.....Jan27, drip, drip....

Hey, Mint, if you can't deliver than say so.

fishcooker · January 12, 2007 8:37AM

It'll be at least April when they cancel the unfilled orders.

mfcobra · January 12, 2007 10:24AM

Well, I just spoke w/ a US Mint customer service supervisor and she was very certain that all orders w/ an "In process" status for Plat UNC's will be filled. She was also certain that these coins were not over sold as w/ the Silver & Gold Anniversary sets. I'm not holding my breath, but I am crossing my fingers.

renman95 · January 12, 2007 12:02PM

mfcobra, thanks for calling...I get frustrated talking to Miss Prozac.

itsnotjustme · January 12, 2007 7:22PM

I hope that is correct.

renman95 · January 14, 2007 12:58AM

Jan 29! The closer I get the further they go.

FullStrike · January 14, 2007 2:32AM

I also am still in the

<< Your order request is in process 4 units backordered. Expected to ship on 01/29/07 >>

category for my 4 - 1/2 oz '06-W Plats. If I do get these Coins one day, I'll be really pleased.

If not, then at least I did get in on the 2 - sets and the 5 - 1 oz singles. I guess that's better than being a bitter Platinum slammer like some people on these boards.

renman95 · January 15, 2007 5:54AM

January 30...I thinking the're not coming.

tyler267 · January 15, 2007 5:59AM

I just checked my backordered 4pc sets they moved again to 1/29

Bear · January 15, 2007 6:09AM

My Plat Set has gone from12/25, 1/23, 1/24, 1/25, 1/26, 1/27, 1/28, 1/29, 1/30

Might be nice if the Mint could select a delivery date, if delivery shall ever be

and just stick to it.

kimon1230 · January 15, 2007 6:54AM

<< Might be nice if the Mint could select a delivery date, if delivery shall ever be

But........... half the fun is in waiting!

Yep, just checked mine again and the date moved again to 1/30. I want to stay positive, but....

LALASD4 · January 15, 2007 7:11AM

It is like pulling teeth.

renman95 · January 23, 2007 3:04AM

2-7

I need a martini

drip, drip, drip

FullStrike · January 23, 2007 7:43AM

The Mint will roll your orders into the 2007 issues. They're just trying to help - that's all.

Bless their pointed little heads.

renman95 · January 23, 2007 10:11PM

2/8!

LALASD4 · January 23, 2007 10:33PM

And tomorrow will be 2/9

renman95 · January 26, 2007 10:31AM

<< And tomorrow will be 2/9

>>

Ha!....they skipped 2/9 and went to 2/10.

renman95 · January 27, 2007 1:36PM

It's 2/11 now, I quit, I cancelled!

renman95 · February 9, 2007 12:49AM

<< It's 2/11 now, I quit, I cancelled! >>

I called the Mint, spoke with Tanisha, and asked about my 2 quarter ounce plats. I gave her my order number 2385xxxx on December 14. She looked it up and she said it would be about another 4-6 weeks(?!) I asked for the reason and she said they are waiting for another shipment (from West Point.)

I know, I know, I said I cancelled my order. I just got tired of me complaining. Plus, if I pretended I cancelled maybe they would show up...I don't know..

mfcobra · February 9, 2007 3:01AM

Glad to here you didn't cancel it.

LALASD4 · February 9, 2007 3:05AM

she said they are waiting for another shipment (from West Point.)

That was what she said on 1/2/07

renman95 · February 9, 2007 3:15AM

<< she said they are waiting for another shipment (from West Point.)

>>

Don't scare me.

She's probably reading from a "customer service reply" sheet. Things you say to customers before they get the axe.

Where are my quarter ounce (2006) plats, Mint?
