I got both versions of 2010 + a few extra (after selling off most of my extras). I only got the first two bullion of the 2011, still missing the rest of 2011, 2012 & 2013 (except the 3 recent P-mint I just bought).... I also missed the buying window for the bullion 2013 when it was around $115/ea...... I HATE not having enough $$$ for coins.... :(

Just placed my order for the FM puck at the mint, still @ $154.95 with free shipping. Seemed like a deal to me.

Already on back order shipping on the 3rd. They must be having a hard time with the blanks. Three of the four are now on back order.

I think backorder could maybe have to do with inventory who knows. I don't care so much when they ship just that the price will be the 154. The lady at the mint said she sold more in the past ten minutes of the 5 oz than usually in a day!

Ya I just put in my order for FH, I don't mind waiting a few days for the back order as long as price stays the same. I figured people would be all over these as the bullion version is almost the same price!

I have the ATB-P "quarters" on subscription so my order was placed on the 28th, a day before release (this is done to ensure that subscriptions are serviced first, the only benefit of subscribing). Interestingly, subscription orders only have an order date on the track info page, no order time is given. Of course, the notion that subscription orders are processed first depends on the somewhat shaky notion of FIFO order handling. The "expected ship" date currently says 9/10. My order # is 419855xx.

May be more people jump onboard, anticipating price rise in the next couple weeks (if silver stay the same at the $24 price range for a few more weeks).

angel2004, order #s are given to give others a sense of where we stand with respect to each other. We typically X out the last two, three, or four digits to prevent any dastardly deeds. The mint (via PBGS) assigns sequential order numbers (but they do not use every number, not sure why). My order numbers go all the way back to 4,275,260 placed in July of 2000 (not worried about disclosing that old number entirely). The system of sequential numbering began when the website was launched in 1999 with the introduction of the State Quarter series. The mint promises, and PBGS is charged, to fulfill orders in FIFO fashion, but the granularity of that promise is probably on the order of blocks of orders of 50 to 100 order #s and only applies to in stock items (or back ordered items when they come in stock).

Easy ordering today, wonder how many FH was sold today? I venture a guess the Monday weekly sales report would say around 10K.
