It seems the US Mint has a security issue with their on-line order status system. http://coins.about.com/b/2009/02/17/us-mint-web-site-security-breach.htm?nl=1
i really hate folks who do whatever they can to cause distress on someone else. Sure, it wasnt smart to post your real names and order numbers... but still! Just because someone reveals something, doesnt mean an idiot has to take advantage of it.
I just tried "shop online" on the mint website and it's all screwed up. Most of the product pages come up blank. The gold ASE page comes up, but shows the inventory status either "????BACKORDERED????" OR "????IN STOCK????". They were down for maintenance a short while ago - looks like they aren't done yet!
357,000 coin order left on Doorstep Thats crazy But if he can afford to spend 357,000 on coins He probably lives in a very large house with a very large gate around it .
You know... when buying 357k in coins... even if it is all in UHRDE's, is a pretty big package... I would have it picked up at UPS office or delivered to where I am... when order that much in coin.... you, yourself have to be insane to leave it to the system.
