I previously ordered 5 of each and my checking (debit) was charged today. So what do I do? Order 5 more of each, silly!!

Order #31030xxx

Edited for grammar.

OLC · February 17, 2009 1:34PM

I would order all you can

Swampboy · February 17, 2009 3:04PM

This could be a long month and a half for MsMorrisine.

1 and 1 for me on the commems.

nada zilch nada on the Mint site re: cents. Or did I miss something?

edit for a pic.

a long month... mostly my annoyance is coming from the delays with the UHR coins....
it seems they may be delaying high dollar value shipments due to recent losses. ---> Link

Relevance here: Did you order 100? that's a few thousand. That could mean your order is delayed. {maybe, as it seems now}

Site is back to shipping 2/19 !?!?!?!?

I haven't found anything on the site for the cents either. I was disappointed. I'm waiting for a release date on them. 10,000 coin bags anyone?

MsMorrisine · February 18, 2009 9:23AM

This gets better every second of every day!

Read the wording on the web site right now:

Product will be available for shipping 03/04/2009

Oh... my bad.... "available" and "shipped" are two different things to these people.

anyway, I just called and a rep said the actual date is "Apr 1" and the web site is "wrong."

Oh.... want to know the excuse offered for the delay????

"high demand"

This Article States Less than Half Sold out of What Was Expected

After I mentioned that, it was "oh, I'm not sure."

sfs2002usa · February 18, 2009 11:24PM

116,558 for the Proof and
61,164 for the Unc

Nothing on my uncirculated Lincolns however...no surprise there! Or my UHRDE!!! I had a feeling I'd get my Lincoln's before I ever got a peek at my UHR. According to the last e-mail from 'The Mint' on the subject, It was supposed to ship on 2/18/09...

Thanks MsMorrisine for everything you're doing!

MsMorrisine · February 20, 2009 2:29AM

considering all the "stories"from 800-USA-MINT, I'm not holding my breath....

After complaining about others receiving theirs but mine isn't slated to ship until Apr 1, I was just told that my credit card was put through and maybe monday they will ship and I'll have a tracking number.

and my CC co just confirmed a new pending charge in the proper amount.

an action actually taken!

OMG.

There is hope in the face of no hope!

Keep in mind that yesterday a rep told me in no uncertain terms that there were no Lincoln's in stock and wouldn't be until April 1.

Good luck with your unc. I looked at mine and decided not to send them in for grading ... to many minor ticks. ( No 70 potential in my unc batch )
On the other hand, I saw no flaws in 4 out of 5 proofs and those were mailed in for grading.

MsMorrisine · February 24, 2009 6:06AM

guess I gotta call tonight about my order....

no word from them yet... of course this is the "new normal."

and my pending charge disappeared.

I screened them. 5 of the 6 are worthy of slabbing.

Manorcourtman · February 24, 2009 8:33AM

Rec'd 12 Proofs on Monday. Sent 12 Proofs back Monday. Total crap. Spotted, nicked and very poor quality. Not a one was attractive.

stckplunge · February 24, 2009 9:22AM

Deleted - sorry

stckplunge · February 24, 2009 11:16AM

<< First in First out BS My order was at 12:04. Charged my credit card, then have not shipped

Just out of curiosity how many did you order?

JC

linerguy · February 24, 2009 11:20AM

5 unc 5 proofs

stckplunge · February 24, 2009 11:20AM

I know of 2 other orders (QTY:99 each) that were ordered before my order of 10 that have not shipped - the CC has not even been hit yet. This is not because I am a new customer as I have orders in excess of $10k that have cleared regularly within 3 days of ordering. Maybe larger lots are being held back for some reason - still doesnt excuse the non-FIFO rule though, but is a potential explanation.

JC

P.S. Same goes for the 2009 Presidential proof sets - I hear some people got these. I had a subscription for a large order and have not gotten these yet. In this case the mint rule is also FIFO but subscriptions are shipped first regardless.

stckplunge · February 24, 2009 11:22AM

<< 5 unc 5 proofs >>

Then I would be pissed too! My order for 10 proofs was delivered last Friday and I ordered WAAAAAAAAYYYY after the release time.

JC

spiritcraft · February 25, 2009 10:28PM

I received 10 proofs and 2 MS Lincolns yesterday... They look good... I will go through them again, but did not see defects the first time. Can these be sent in for grading in their capsules?

rgCoinGuy · February 25, 2009 11:15PM

I got my two each yesterday. I posted more pictures in a "BIG PICS" thread, but here are the main pics...

My coins left last Thursday through Fed X. Monday Fed X transferred them to the post office. The mailman dropped them off yesterday afternoon.

imron · February 25, 2009 11:53PM

Still have not received my Lincoln proof/unc Qty. 10 each. Order # 30969XXX. Credit card was pre-authorized on 02/17 and disappeared on 02/24. My only email estimated the ship date for 02/19. Every day I call the Mint and they cannot tell me why my Lincolns have not shipped only that they are "in process". This is the worst service I have ever experienced from any company in my entire life.

Goldbully · February 26, 2009 11:11AM

I'm sending back 5 of 5 proofs.....spotting and a small scratch on one of them.

Keeping 2 of 2 Uncs.

I'm really amazed at the Mint's QC.

Not to mention I got 2 Presidential Proof sets......James Polk obverse had 1/2" x 1/8" of light scratches on obverse field.

imron · February 26, 2009 11:30AM

Goldbully

Are you glad you ordered the Unc. Lincolns? I'm trying to decide if i still want them now. I'm not all that impressed with the pics i've seen. The proofs on the other hand look great.

Goldbully · February 26, 2009 11:57AM

<< Goldbully

I love the Uncs.....very frosty, unlike the spotty proofs I sent back!!!

adamlaneus · February 26, 2009 11:59AM

I'll pass on this one. The look of the portrait just creeps me out.

MsMorrisine · February 26, 2009 12:48PM

Lincoln Order: 20 Proofs.... looks like it is not going to be "choose the best to try for a 70", but "hunt for 1 hoping for a 69."

Order #: 30975xxx First hour sometime
Shipped: 2/26

just got the e-mail

MsMorrisine · February 27, 2009 1:47AM

at quick glance for all 20:

lots of proof coins with smooth/shiny areas on reverse parts that should be frosted.

one with a spot and a 1/8" wire strike through with the wire still there and partially sticking up.

another with a die crack or strike through.. haven't closely examined it.

some have rust-red fibers on the coins.... some one the outside of the capsule. these fibers are definitely on some of the coins.

I'm going to have to look at all of them again more closely.

QC?? This is the philly mint... guess it's not surprising.

MsMorrisine · February 27, 2009 4:24AM

the reverse of all 20 have some issue.
