I Just Got A "Regret To Inform You ASE Proof Sold Out Email

are you sure its not an error like most of the others?

I would be pretty upset, too. If the Royal Canadian Mint did that with a series like the Chiense Zodiac there would be a small revolt.

The back-order is the reinstatement of the no longer available. They simply left the cancelled item on the order and added a new item just like the first. Just check to make sure that they did it right and call them if something is really wrong, like the number of coins ordered is not correct. We have to hope that they put a stop to whatever was cancelling the orders in the first place or the whole thing might repeat itself. If we get new back-order notices in 72 hours, that might be a concern. The first time, it was about 72 hours from the time they entered the subscriptions into the order numbering system that the back-order notices went out and another 72 hours until the cancellations happened. If it happens again, they won't be able to fix it in time and will have to hold all shipments until they get it fixed. The six day timer, if it is still running, times out early Friday morning, just before the official release. Let's hope they did more than just re-enter the orders.
