<p>[QUOTE="bsshog40, post: 555216, member: 17068"]A couple things to remember about the mint. First off, when a release date is given for sales of coins/comms this only means that you can RESERVE your order. It doesn't mean they are minting them and mailing them out at this time. Also, "in stock and reserved" means that your order has been taken and you are reserved that item to be shipped to you. The mint will always show a charge soon after on your credit card, this is only verification that your card is good and valid. Most times it is removed at a later date unless the coin is being mailed soon after this verification process. When a coin is released for sale,the mint has never specified that it is also shipping them immediately. I think that at times there are a quantity of these ready to go which explains why some get these soon after release date, but my experience has always shown that there will always be delayed date for these unless you are buying something thats been available for some time and has not been sold out. I've dealt with the mint for a few yrs and others that have too, know that you have to have patience when dealing with them. I ordered the Lincoln Comms myself and received them soon after my order which I thought was pretty lucky. I also ordered the lincoln cents, they show "in stock and reserved", and I haven't seen a verification with my credit card as of yet. I just sit back and just forget about it till they reach my mailbox. I'm not out to re-sell them and make a profit anyway, just going in a drawer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
