As of 11pm last night my order said "in process". OK. Then this morning at 10am FedEx came by to deliver my coins! Agggghhhh, of course I wasn't home.  Checked this morning and sure enough it said "shipped". Maybe they felt guilty about holding my order so long they decided to fed ex it. This is a first for the mint. Everything else has always been regular mail. In any case I hope to have them in hand by this afternoon. Moral of story: Never ever try to figure out why or how the mint does things. Just be happy you get what you order! Margaret |

This is ever so slightly off topic, but has anyone who had their Ben Franklin commem order on "back order" actually gotten their coins yet? Dad checked on our orders the first of the month and all we hear is that it's back ordered... sigh.  Rachel [:p] |

Margaret, I think they have been upgrading to Overnight Shipping by FedEx...I have ordered four times from them this year and each time it came by Fed Ex and just like you each time the package came before I got the email saying that the item had shipped..Go figure  |

Kyra, I got my Ben Franklins about 3 weeks ago. All looked good except the Scientest uncirculated, it has a scratch on it. . I thought about sending it back but figured I would never get a replacement. When did you order yours? I am still waiting on the coin & chronicles set though. Order says expected ship date May 22. Christina, Good to know they might be using FedEx from now on. Nice to not have to wait any longer then we have to! Margaret |

I ordered my Franklins on January 19th (the day they went on sale). I got them the first week of April.
The only issue I have with the FedEx is that a signature is required for delivery, so ya gotta be there or go to FedEx and pick them up (If a FedEx dist center is near you...thank god its only three miles from me!!)

The ever so efficent mint e-mailed me THIS morning to say my order had shipped.  Amazing! Order received yesterday! Shasti, curious as to where the scratch on your Scientest unc appears? Mine is on the reverse, covering the "A" and the "T" of states. Posted a pix below. Just wondering if this was something in the die or an honest to goodness scratch.

Hi Margaret,
No, mine doesn't look like that. I'll try to get a picture tonight. Isn't it a Die-Crack that you have?

That looks like a nifty little die crack, not a scratch |

I just got an e-mail from the mint telling me my mint set subscription will be processed in about 6 weeks.

Die crack? Well that goes to show you what I know. I figured it had to be a scratch. I took a few more pix. I still can't tell for sure.

Thanks ya'll, now I am really curious to see Shasti's. Margaret |

OK, I have the picture but now I can't attach for some reason. I'm going to ask if someone can do it for me.  Edited by Metalman
