Exactly what happened to me. 3 out of 5 cancelled first, then the other 2 cancelled about an hour after. I have another order consisting of NAs and presidents, and all of the president coins cancelled except for one.

I just signed out and placed another order of presidents using a different email address. I'm curious to see what happens.

Lets see....320 boxes.....much more than a ton !

I'll have to go back and look up the box weight,
I know it has been posted before !
The ticket was 105k miles. I have a long way to go to get back the hotel miles.

Not for me though. Ordered on Sunday night, and it is still in process. So I think it varies.

The boxes arrive with barcode stickers on them. For those of you depositing the coins in the original boxes, do you remove the barcode stickers just in case the U.S. Mint might, upon receiving back a bunch of coins in the original boxes, conclude that they're not being put into circulation and use the barcodes to identify and then cut off the supply to the "guilty" parties?

the mint does not receive the coins. banks are either distributing them or sending them to the fed reserve, which eventually puts them into circulation.
