What is the longest you've had a coin on backorder?

...and the date gets automatically moved back 15 days and the cancel box is still there?

I'm at two months +

    I don't generally buy coins that get backordered.

  • i am at 11 weeks with a few orders for 2006 w silver eagle and they said to hang in there i should have my order first week of march.2381xxxx order no. samething order back 15 days all the time good luckimage
  • I have an outstanding order that I placed on Dec. 20th, and it's been pushed back into mid-March.
  • i ordered 1 AGE 3 coin anniv set on the first or second day they went on sale, august i think. got them right before christmas. do NOT hit the cancel button. that cancel box means you still have a chance to get the coin(s).

    11 years and 5 months. image

    Saw a coin I had to have in March 1975. Wasn't able to finally own it until August 1986. You could say it was on "backorder."

    So far, two months and over a week on my 2006W Plats. And the shipping date keeps on moving up every day!

    Never more than a couple of weeks. Gotta be faster with that order button. image

    From the Mint, you mean?

    I've had one go about six months. Didn't really bug me too much -- but I can see the ones that never show up being annoying.

  • The all time record was held by a collector who ordered a 1971-S proof Ike and received a notice from the mint that it was sold out and they would be sending him a refund in the near future. He received the notice six years after he placed the order. (Back then ten month waits were not unusual.)
  • Two Months to get my 2006W ASE'S Also poor quality spotted & TIC,TIC,DOT.....

    I guess my waiting may be just about over. I just got an email from the mint about my 2 quarter ounce 06 W plats. Yippee!
