This morning my cc got charged for the proof coin!!! I didn't know if I was going to get either coin, but then the Uncirculated coin only got charged, and I assumed that I wouldn't get it. A couple of days a week, I would go to the order tracking page and see Backordered, and hope upon hope that when the cancelled orders got processed, that I would still have my chance. WELL I DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! and here's the kicker... I was just off of work all summer with a back injury and we went all that time without a paycheck. I told my wife that I would figure out some way of selling one to pay for the pair, she said..."Mike, just keep them if they make you that happy!" What a woman, she's a keeper!!!
Mike - this is the best part of the story - and I don't mean getting to keep both coins! You - like me, are a lucky man! Congrats :thumb:
Thanks, Darryl! You're right, she's worth more than the whole collection by a longshot!!! OMG that Fed Ex Guy is gonna get pounced on tomorrow!!! Did anyone else get this same happy news?
I placed my order around 4 pm on Aug 30, today I saw the coins are in stock and reserved, but credit card haven't been charged yet. Looks I might get it too.
Nice going Mike. While checking the mint site for the Unc.earlier, for which I was on the waiting list, I noticed that my status had been changed from backordered to in stock and reserved. Just checked my card online and the charge is pending. Looks like I may get 1 too.
I know the feeling Mike. Look at the email I just got. Date Shipped: 10/05/07 Amount Charged : 415.90 Tracking ID Items included in this shipment: 1. 2007 FIRST SPOUSE GLD UNC (TJ) (X06) Qty : 1
