I just got it too. Here's what the email said.

Done!

Mine indicated a ship date of 2/6/09.

 

Are the people that get orders through mint members?

 

Just got mine ordered thru the website, I didn't see but one price of %$1189. I really don't need the fancy box, but I got one now, even went for the speciay delivery option, then off to NGC

 

No we are not members of the mint we are customers, you can be one to, just go to the usmint.gov and go to shop online and fill out the info and set you up an account, then you will be in buisness.

 

I am.

 

By members i meant have an account with. It seems that it would help expedite the ordering process.

 

You probably saw this:

1. 2009 ULTRA HIGH RELIEF GOLD COIN (UH1)
Qty 1 @ $1189.00 - Backordered 01/28/09.

2. 2009 ULTRA HIGH RELIEF GOLD COIN BOOK (UH3)
Qty 1 @ $.00 - Backordered 02/06/09.

 

That's exactly how my e-mail reads.

Hey, where's Joe?

 

No.

My receipt says:

"2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin (UH1) / Price - $1,189.00 / Availability - Backordered / Product Ship Date - 2009-02-06"


UPDATE

Checked my e-mail. Here's what it says:

 

Looks like there have been over 4k orders in the last hour.

 

OKay. I see,. It's amazing what a couple minutes between orders can do. What time did you get your email? I got mine at 12:26

 

How can you tell?

 

Part of the problem (at least on my end) of ordering this coin is that usually when the mint makes a new item available for sale it will appear on the catalog home page. Not in this case. Had to look for it in the "what's new" section. Really slow go...

 

Well, after trying for over an hour I've been booted from the login page and have to sign in again for not having any "activity" for the last 30 minutes..!!! I think some of the "T.A.R.P." funds should be allocated to upgrade the mint website, especially the purchase products link. Maybe we could recover some of the gzillion dollars we're throwing away.

 

The time stamp on my e-mail is 10:38 AM MST. That would be 12:38 PM EST.

 

On coinnetwork.com people have stated they ordered at 12:36 and their order # is 30830274

I placed my order @ 12:56 with an order number of
308336**

for a difference of 3310

I think it's safe to say at least 700 orders were palced in the first 36 minutes. if 3374 were placed in the 20 minutes following that.

 

In a matter of 12 minutes, the shipping date changes. Amazing. the amount of orders placed.

Cool, thanks for the info on the order number thing.

 

Would anyone who got an order around 12:00 pushed through care to share their order num?

 

You are assuming that EVERY order the Mint received during that time was for the UHR Double Eagles. Some orders may have been for Proof Sets or bags of Kennedy Halves.
