I ordered 9 SE Proofs on opening day around 3:15 pm and everything went smoothly. Have not received any notice from the mint. My online account at mint says on hold and reserved. A previous notice said would not ship till Dec. 5. The mint did take my money from my visa account. They used to never do this unless the order was shipped! I’ve got my fingers crossed that my order ever arrives. Yes, I to have had trouble with past mint shipments. Usually with the shipper. Silver Eagle proofs are my favorite modern coin issue and I’m sure that if man survives another hundred years they will be as popular then as Morgan dollar proofs are today.

Backorder is usually only noted as being bad due to the extra wait, and is fairly common for Mint orders these days following the initial rush. I would have very high expectations that your order will be eventually fulfilled — although it appears not as quick as if your order had gone through like it should have the first time.

I was one of the people whose order was deleted. I put my order in at 1:00 on Friday and received no confirmation. I called today and they happily did all that was said in the article above, however the coins are on backorder. So I order an hour after they were released and I’m one of those put on backorder. Awesome job US Mint! Is there any realistic expectation I should have of these actually being shipped?
