well what was an 8-5 ship date this morning is now 8-20...so I have gone from 9-3 to 8-27 to 8-5 to 8-20...in the span 30 hours.
By golly, you're right! If that doesn't trigger buyer's remorse, I guess I must have made the right decision.
Yep, CC has pending charge. I'm at 43703xxx. Says In process now. Hopefully will ship tomorrow or Monday.
STILL "in process". I was really expecting to see it go over to "shipped" today. I guess there's still time, but still a little disappointing.
The mint will produce the gold Kennedy Halves up to 12/31/2014 and has the capacity to produce over 100k. 75k will be available by 10/1/2014. A date has not been set to end sales, so they could be offered after 12/31. http://www.coinworld.com/news/us-mint-striking-6000-gold-kennedy-half-dollars-a-week.html
I received the following email today: U.S. Mint and American Numismatic Association Suspend Sales of 2014 50th Anniversary Kennedy Half-Dollar Gold Proof Coin 08/07/2014 01:00 AM EDT WASHINGTON - The United States Mint and the American Numismatic Association (ANA) announced today that sales of the 2014 50th Anniversary Kennedy Half-Dollar Gold Proof Coin have been suspended at the ANA's World's Fair of Money in Rosemont, Ill. The Mint and the ANA made the decision to ensure the safety of those wanting to purchase the coin and the safety of their own employees Apparently, things have gotten out of hand at the show. I don't know what attendees have done to make the employees fear for their own safety, but this episode has been very unseemly. I thought the show was sold out of the gold half-dollar proofs anyway. The article on the US Mint web site says they've stopped selling the gold proofs at their retail locations, also.
Well, my coins were not shipped so there is no longer hope of receiving them by Monday or Tuesday... and the charge in my CC is still pending. Charge was approved but pending. As jeffB I am very disappointed!
