According to ebay, the mint is limiting the sales to 100/household and they will sell out in the first day. I wonder if they're sold out. If your order says backordered, I bet they are unless someone cancels their order and your next on the waiting list.

Was on travel yesterday and just had a chance to order my 2. Got backordered with expected ship on 5 Dec. Hope I eventually get mine!
Wow. Just got an email that my 2 silver eagle proofs on subscription have been shipped already. Nice that is quick!
I guess us subscription folks are getting the mess-end of the Mint stick these days... shocking emails and no updates on shipping status... I sure didn't get that shipping email yet! WOW!
I just checked but didn't get it for either of my two subscription orders... maybe by the morning it will be in my inbox too.
Way ahead of you old fellow! Did that too! Matter of fact, my cart still shows items in there, Proof ASEs in my cart but that I have an order to track. ???
