[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7845841, member: 115909"]It’s not “hinky” at all. The US Mint is just verifying that the card used to place the order actually has enough available credit to pay for the order. If they waited until October to place the actual charge what could they do if some people’s cards didn’t go through? They’d have to cancel the order and put it back up for sale which is a big pain. Might as well take care of that stuff now when they’re not dealing with the hassle of shipping hundreds of thousands of coins at the same time.[/QUOTE]
