    Did you read to the bottom of the web page on your order status?
    Give Blood (Red Bags) & Platelets (Yellow Bags)!
  • Yes! It said 'No longer available"

    . I just spoke to 2 different Mint Reps and they are all confused!
    Basically, I was told that all orders were CANCELLED but.......

    "you might want to watch for them just in case they did get shipped." image

    On the gold I had on backorder....about the same....


    Product Name Quantity Price (each) Total Item Status Cancel

    2006 AMERICAN EAGLE GOLD UNC 1/2 OZ COIN 3 $375.00 $1,125.00 Item is no longer available.



    and yet, just a little bit above that:

    Order Status: Your order request has been shipped.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I'm 99% sure they were not shipped. This is how the Gold 20th Ann Sets went. Has your credit card been charged? Is there a tracking number on the web status page?

    They are cancelled.

  • Attention all PlatMeisters:



    Order status: 'your order has been shipped'

    Item Status: 'item is no longer available'

    e-mail : exp ship 3/13

    My interpretation:

    The order was shipped, the e-mail was a notification of the backorder being filled. The e-mail listed the expship as 3/13 (the last date listed on the 'track order' screen), that was confusing! As to "item no longer available", the item that you ordered is no longer available, in case you want to take the "Continue shopping" button (on the bottom left of the screen). All is well in Platland!

  • Conspiracy Theory!

    I think someone at the Mint got wind of the mintage figures on
    these and pocketed all the backorders. What was really strange
    was that when I first ordered they were available and the very
    next day my status was 'Order In Process" "in Stock & Reserved"
    with the Cancel box gone.

    Then, a few days later my status went to "Backordered" and the
    Cancel box reappeared. It's a Conspiracy I tell ya'! image

    Pass the popcorn!


  • like i said in the other post about these, i`ve had orders cancelled by the mint and it never said shipped. every order i`ve seen change to shipped i got the coins. good luck.

  • My three orders all say shipped and my credit card has not been charged.
