2009 Ultra High Relief

Has anyone received one yet?

I spoke with a mint representative on 02/20 and she said my coin had been "picked" for shipment, which supposedly meant it would ship in the next 24 hours. So, maybe it will show up tomorrow. I have not yet seen any of these coins and don't know of anyone who actually received one.

I guess I'll just sit back and have some popcorn.

Email from the mint yesterday, Feb. 25

Re: Order Number XXXXXXX

Dear Customer,

The United States Mint is pleased to announce that we will resume shipping of the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin during the week of February 22, 2009. However, because of production problems with the Companion Book, you may receive only the COIN and presentation box at this time. If you are a customer who receives the COIN without the Companion Book, we will ship the Companion Book to you, at no extra charge, when it becomes available.

If you ordered your 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin between January 22, 2009, and February 9, 2009, you are under the 30-day return policy. If you ordered on or after February 10, 2009, you are under the seven-day return policy. The return timeframe for the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold COIN and presentation box will begin on the date you receive it. If you are dissatisfied for any reason with your 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold COIN, you may send it back to the United States Mint within the applicable return period for a full refund or replacement. If you return your COIN for any reason prior to receiving the Companion Book, we will cancel your shipment of the Companion Book. If you receive the Companion Book within the applicable return period, you must return both for a full refund.

If your Companion Book is shipped separately, the exchange timeframe for it also will begin on the date you receive it and under the same return policy - 30 days or seven days - as applicable. We will make no refunds for the Companion Book; we will make exchanges for damages only.

Customers' orders will be shipped on a first-come, first-served basis. You will be notified by email when your order has shipped. If you do not receive the Companion Book with your COIN, you will receive a second e-mail notification when we ship the Companion Book.

If you ordered the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin between January 22 and February 23, 2009, we expect to ship it by April 24, 2009.
If you place your order for the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin on or after February 24 (and up until March 24, 2009), we expect to ship it by May 24, 2009.

Thank you for your interest in United States Mint products.

My 2009 Douoble Eagle arrived today. It is very beautiful and the presentation box is outstanding. I am very pleased with it. The companion book will be shipped later, according to U.S Mint correspondence. I would say it is the most beautiful coin I have ever seen.

Received my Double Eagle on 2/27 - absolutely top notch presentation display.

I also ordered mine on the first day and am still waiting for that email notification that it has shipped.

AAA Coin n Paper and Big-byte, how about some photos?

I'm sure regretting that this coin is NOT in my budget.......

Guess I'll just have to live vicariously through those who do get one.
