    Are you guys sure you are in. As in The coin is in stock and reserved for you.

    My # 37481xxx was backordered. I just went to the mint site and checked my order and it shows it's on hold and my time was @ 12:23

    The weird thing is, it lists the time as 12:23 a.m instead of (p.m.)

    It always does that - if you have a confirmation number at this point you should definitely get one...

    What a PIA. I tried and tried to order online, but could not get past getting one in my cart. I called Customer Service, and got in on the third or fourth try. A very nice man assisted me, spoke good english and got everything right the first time. I received an email confirm almost as I hung up the telephone.

    You gotta love the Mint. Their technology sucks, but the people are great! Thanks.

    Hope this coin doesn't have the same issues as the Hot Springs coin.

    Any US Mint order status other than "In Stock and Reserved" is a complete mystery. No one knows what they mean. For one sale it might be "Backordered", for another one it might say "On hold". One day it might say "In Progress". Anyway, I agree, you don't have to worry if you ordered within the first few hours it was available; you'll get it.

    Go to the mint site, sign in, go to track order, it should show all the things purchased from the mint.

    Mine does anyway..........from 2010 when I first bought from them until present.

    The mint needs to get right on their silver prices.
    $56/oz, but I ordered one anyway.

    I ordered a coin also, but I'm thinking if these sell out, the Mint will not be thinking about adjusting the price downward on the Yosemite. They will take what the market will bear.

    Ill be watching closely as delivery approaches, and cancel if it stays this high, especially if the quality is expected to be the same as the hot springs.

    bad , just plain bad

    I'm beginning to wonder if they didn't mint too many of the 2011s, and perhaps the APs might get stuck with some of them. The 2010s were supposedly low mintage, but even selling them seemed to drag on and on. If anybody really wanted a set of the 2010s, there's really no reason why they couldn't have bought them.

    Since I got the hot springs, I guess I'm in for the rest. I ordered at 5:30 PM today and it says its backordered. I got the same message last time but it showed up within two weeks. I think that this one will take a little longer to sell out with silver down to $34/oz.

    I'm waiting for Gettysburg and Vicksburg. Maybe by then the price of silver will have stabilized.

    37498xxx is where they are as of five minutes prior to this post. I learned from the prior sale that I had all day to get around to this one and the order numbers are bearing that out. Ordering anytime today should be golden, maybe even through the weekend!

    The lowest number I have seen is 37476xxx, so it appears about 22,000 have been sold.
     
  19. I believe you but would not trust those numbers. Same thing happened with Hot Springs and you know how long they stayed on sale. TC

    Some double/triple orders had to be sorted out from the initial Hot Springs 5ozer orders. Also a lot of cancellations due to the sudden drop in silver. Hopefully, people will have learned their lesson this time and Treehuggers number is closer to being right.

    From comparing order numbers on other forums, I figure roughly 24K orders have occurred since Yellowstone went on sale. After taking out duplicate orders and orders that don't contain Yellowstone coins, I figure anywhere from 20K to 22K have been sold. This is of course only a guess. However, if my guess is at all accurate, sales for these coins are of to a pretty fast clip in the first 12 hours of sales (especially considering the large markeup over silver). Thus, I believe that the demand is definitely there for the MASSIVE 5 ouncers. Lol...what do you guys think?
