kenny_1745 Valued Member United States 239 Posts	Posted 07/19/2007 10:33 pm I just ordered some uncirculated and proof Silver Eagles from the mint. When they were in the shopping cart it said they were backordered. Is that only because they aren't shipping yet. Report this Post to the Staff

Spider5689 Pillar of the Community United States 2269 Posts	Posted 07/19/2007 10:38 pm I'm not sure. Two days ago I placed an order for the platinum proof an Unc bullion and the said they were backordered until August 3. Today I looked at the catalog and they were in stock, but my order still said they were backordered. So I cancelled the order and placed a new one and all items were in stock.

Berry Valued Member United States 394 Posts	Posted 07/19/2007 10:38 pm Hello Kenny_1745, I think both the unc and proofs have a future shipping date of 7-23-07, so for now they would be on backorder. Berry Report this Post to the Staff
Spider5689 Pillar of the Community United States 2269 Posts	Posted 07/19/2007 10:40 pm I've learned that when the mint says an item is backordered, it might not be too accurate. Report this Post to the Staff
kenny_1745 Valued Member United States 239 Posts	Posted 07/19/2007 10:43 pm Yeah, I've just had bad luck in the past with the mint when my items said backordered. Hopefully I get them because I ordered a bunch and I really want them Report this Post to the Staff

inacoffeebuzz Valued Member United States 204 Posts	Posted 07/25/2007 09:56 am I don't understand the mints release policy. The proof and unc ASE's have been available from dealers for months (I bought both back in May at a coin show). I think they have been delaying ships through their own website to increase sales to dealers (who probably by the majority of coins issued). Just my thoughts - I would be interested in knowing what the real policies are (or supposed to be). Report this Post to the Staff
