OPEN 2006-W UNC. PLATINUM ORDERS to ship 2/17/07

mfcobra · February 8, 2007 4:56AM

I spoke with a senior US Mint representative who was certain that all open & backordered 2006-W Plat. UNC. orders would begin shipping on Feb 17th. The delay was caused by the minting of 2006-W Silver Unc's being minted through Feb. 1 2007!! Now they are supposed to be working on the open PLAT unc. orders. Because there was no mintage limits on the 2006-W Unc's the Mint had the authority to mint OPEN orders past 2006. Sounds crazy I know, but this came from the horses mouth. Fingers crossed

clackamas · February 8, 2007 4:59AM

??? Fingers not crossed I hope this is not true.

mrmom · February 8, 2007 5:02AM

is this good news or bad news?

itsnotjustme · February 8, 2007 5:03AM

Good or bad? I hope the sales figures include all these open backorders. Otherwise, the mintage may not be as low as projected.

mfcobra · February 8, 2007 5:03AM

I guess it's good news for people w/ open orders and bad news for those who already have them

GAT · February 8, 2007 5:05AM

This all sounds lIke BS to me. With such a low mintage of the platinum coins they should have long ago been minted.

LALASD4 · February 8, 2007 5:06AM

I believe anything and everything that anyone tells me.

fastrudy · February 8, 2007 5:16AM

Glad I didn't hit that cancel button!

mrmom · February 8, 2007 5:16AM

<< I guess it's good news for people w/ open orders and bad news for those who already have them >>

I am in both. Should I be

or

?

fastrudy · February 8, 2007 5:40AM

It's really bad news for some of the members of this forum who said they hit the "Cancel" button because they figured they would never get it! I feel sorry for them. Not sorry enough to give them my order, but a little sorry.

LITTLEEAGLE · February 8, 2007 5:45AM

i got some 2006 w silver eagles coming,ordered last 36 hours before they stopped selling them,do you think i'll get them?

tyler267 · February 8, 2007 5:59AM

Does this mean the mintage numbers will be higher than NN reported sales or does it mean that not all of the coins for the reported sales numbers have been released? I know nobody really knows, but what do you guys think?

Smittys · February 8, 2007 6:26AM

So how many people have outstanding orders..and for how many maybe someone should take a count.
would be interesting to know how many are still on order.
Maybe there's not that many and it wouldn't hurt mintage numbers that much

ericj96 · February 8, 2007 6:28AM

Guys,

When the coins show up on your door step fine. About half the people you talk to at the mint do not know whats going on. I general it is not the mints policy to stike coins dated the previous year. The cost of striking such a short run is not rational either.

ericj96

pf70collector · February 8, 2007 6:58AM

Still have the platinum backing them up.

Bear · February 8, 2007 7:03AM

I have conducted a survey of the customer

representatives at the Mint. Half don't know,

half dont care and the remaining half are misinformed.

Why three halves you may ask? Because they are so inefficient,

It takes three halves, to generate a completely wrong answer.

Bear · February 8, 2007 7:14AM

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO NOTE THE GRADES ON THESE

LATE LOVE CHILDREN. WILL THEY BE MADE WITH NEW DIES?

I SHOULDN'T REALLY BE SHOUTING. PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP HERE.

fishcooker · February 8, 2007 7:57AM

I thought I heard a faint "Oh Shi....!" at about 1:00 today. Now I know why - it was the '06 platimum eagle investors.

Coin Finder · February 8, 2007 8:12AM

When one calls the "mint" you are not talking to the Mint but the fufillment house that takes orders.

My guess is that the coins were not all minted yet. When they get to them they will ship out to the fufillment house that will ship the coins.

I think the NN number will change slightly but not much.

COINB0Y · February 8, 2007 8:54AM

Absolute BS.

Law forbids minting coins from past year into new years.

Name names.

All you are doing is shaking for Plats on Ebay.

Your on my list.

COINB0Y · February 8, 2007 9:03AM

There has not been ONE person yet to post that got a backorder in almost 1 1/2 months.

NO ONE

You are 'shaking' for coins on Ebay.

The minting of the 2006 W Silver Unc's part is hilarious!

With over a 130+ types of coins on schedule, if any of you guys are 'buying into' this fantasy, please PM me so I can buy the plats you want to dump.

LITTLEEAGLE · February 8, 2007 9:13AM

they are coming,mint been sending emails to people to update their credit cards,it won't be long before the eagle lands.

I am serious. Anyone who believes the info here, I'm buying from the panic stricken.

I'll post on BST right now.

COINB0Y · February 8, 2007 9:28AM

Good one, eh?!

CoinMaster1229 · February 8, 2007 10:40AM

Hi Coinboy, I recieved an E-mail from the mint. I am very surprised they gave me a chance to fix my credit card. When I made my purchase of 1/2 oz W Plats dec. 17th. I thought the expiration date 0f 02/07 was safe! never thought it would take this long. I`m pretty sure your right about minting of 2006 coins being off limits in 2007. If the mint were turning on the presses, I would think the 2006-W Plats would show up on the mint site for sale again. this has not happened. I wonder if anyone has had there credit card hit for a old platinum order recently? I must say I am hopeful.

COINB0Y · February 8, 2007 10:49AM

CoinMaster! .......Whelp...We are almost related.....BrookPark, Parma....anyway..

I started a thread on January 28th about having hope.

This is the only way some orders will be filled. The creator THIS current thread is simply shaking for coins.

My Best!

mfcobra · February 8, 2007 10:57AM

<< The creator THIS current thread is simply shaking for coins. >>

You are complete and total idiot. I'm not shaking for coins. I am not interested in purchasing PLAT coins on the secondary market. I have plenty of my own that I paid issue price for. I was purely passing along inforamtion that I received from the Mint. I could care less what some BOY (Your handle suits you very well) and a full 2 month member has to say.

CoinMaster1229 · February 8, 2007 11:00AM

Is it possible that the mint never finished shipping the ones struck in 2006? I do remember a thread, saying the mint had a packaging problem with the plats.

fastrudy · February 8, 2007 11:16AM

I remember that thread, but I don't have much faith in the "A-mint-employee-told-me-that....." scenarios.
I believe it when the fedex guy is at the door. Coinboy chill out. You sound as if your plan of world platinum domination is being destroyed or delayed by evil rumor-mongers who are out to get you. Your buy prices are incredibly low for a product that you admit is going to increase incredibly in value. If you would believe your own words, you would have no problem offering more $$$$ for these hot items. What gives, plat baron?

puritan9 · February 8, 2007 11:30AM

We have all waited a long time for these coins. If we get them, we get them. Don't hold your breath, but keep your fingers crossed. You never know.

Bear · February 8, 2007 1:17PM

What has been..........IS

What will be...............MAY

COINB0Y · February 8, 2007 1:19PM

Obviously you do care because you are commenting on the fact that I think you are shaking coins.

I apologize if I insulted your honor.

Now that leaves us with the only other explanation.

Which is that you are horribly gullible to believe such a bizarre explanation, and even more ignorant to pass it off as fact.

COINB0Y · February 8, 2007 1:28PM

Rudy, YOU are the one that PM me, about selling coins because of credit card bill, remember?

I just made a low-ball offer because you seemed to believe him.

Anything else?

Statements that can be backed up with evidence always carry more voracity around here, I have found.

The FACT no one has ever received a Plat from back-order yet, belies serious evidence that he is wrong.

As I pointed out about a week or so ago, there is about to be a lottery on the few coins that have been returned to Memphis and that are under going re-packaging for filling a few of the zillion pending orders.

clackamas · February 8, 2007 1:29PM

What denomintion did you order or did the mint indicate would be shipped? The $25 and $50 seem to be in short supply, prehaps there was a packaging problem.

Coin Finder · February 8, 2007 1:35PM

Bear..... What "was" can be revised.....unfortunatly

People re write history sometimes.

Anyway, if the mint is playing games it will come out in the wash.

I still say these will be the lowest mintage and the NN numbers will change very little when final, just my opinion.

COINB0Y · February 8, 2007 1:39PM

CoinMaster1229 · February 8, 2007 1:40PM

$50 1/2 oz. pieces

mfcobra · February 8, 2007 1:56PM

<< The FACT no one has ever received a Plat from back-order yet, >>

Another BS statement. I in fact I received 6 BACKORDERED platinum 2006-W Unc. coins on 12/28/06. When I ordered the coins on 12/19/06 they were IMMEDIATELY put into a "Backordered" status. They were removed from "Backorder" status on 12/27 & shipped on 12/28.

COINB0Y · February 8, 2007 2:16PM

So did I! So did EVERYONE. That was the "Week of Glee", because that was the week they released them all, Mr. Smarty-pants!

I'm talking after the New Year after THOSE orders were filled.

Bear · February 8, 2007 2:23PM

Yes indeed. The weiners get to write

history, the way they want too, not the way

it actually happened. Might can indeed make right.

Bear · February 8, 2007 2:24PM

Wasn't that line in Cool Hand Luke.

" Shaken it boss, shaken it".

bumanchu · February 8, 2007 2:29PM

Coins, yes.

Bullion, who knows?

Anyway, they always mint some Eagles in the year prior to what they are dated.

Hah!
Coinboy I fooled you into thinking I believed him! LOL!

HOHO!
I don't believe him!!!
So now that I seem not to believe him, do I get your high-ball offer?
It will be a very cold day before I sell you a plat that is currently selling for SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS more on eBay! I would rather melt it.
Hey, want to see a new sleazy dealer?
Go to the mirror, boy.

COINB0Y · February 8, 2007 9:41PM

LOL, I am not a coin dealer, by any means, but I would like to play one on TV.

Like many here, I am a quick-learn, that said, two months ago, I didn't know what the difference was between a Mint State Platinum and a Proof Platinum.

Thanks to this wonderful board, I know now.

I also know that the US Mint would NEVER mint 2006 W Unc Silver into 2007 as was suggested by the first post of this thread.

If you knew this as well, you would be doing a disservice here by propagating this rumor.

LITTLEEAGLE · February 8, 2007 10:01PM

you seem to know a lot coinboy,and you must not have enough money to be in the hobby to think people are putting out lies about their mint orders.you worry to much on the population report ,all items are minted to demand just like the mint stated in their listing.i'm sorry all orders will be filled.p.s waiting on fed ex

aficionado · February 8, 2007 10:23PM

Everyone who has an order in process will get their Plats. As stated before these DID NOT get the 'we are still taking orders' message as some products had, they immediately went to sell out.

The numbers reflect the number of orders. Thus the numbers will not increase.

This is what I think.

That is all, carry on.

Tuesday January 23, 2007 7:51 PM (NEW!)

COINBOY Rules!

No--COINBOY is not a ruler, COINBOY needs to start following a few Rules. Here are a few I propose.

1) No more than 2 posts per thread per day.
2) No more than 4 posts in bullion threads per day.
3) No initiating a new bullion thread when there are 40 to chose from where you could post.
4) Sit moderately quiet and enjoy your profit.
5) Laugh your way to the bank if you chose to, but do not rub people's noses in the dog crap on the sidewalk on your way.

And remember, I am a buyer (at issue price) of these bullion coins, and I collect classic coins.
