Unless back ordered the 'Item Status' will indicate "In stock and reserved". So, most of the time (in our cases) it doesn't mean a lot as it pertains to 'Order Status'
Look to see if that says:
1) 'Your order request is on hold.'
2) 'Your order is in process.'
or best of all:
3) 'Your order request has been shipped.'

$360 per year in benefits NOT WORTH THE HASSLE
I have ordered 4 Boxes before ($1000 order), and upon checking today, I see that the Mint has instituted an order limit of 4 boxes per household every 10 days.
Basically, if I order the $1000 limit each and every 10-day period, then I will have 36 total orders for the year (365/10 is more or less 36). Consequently, the MR points I will have earned in that year on my AMEX will be 36,000 MR points. I am assuming a 1% redemption value, after taking into account such liquidity transactions like redeeming points for gift cards and selling those cards online. This entire year's work of dealing with bank tellers, waiting at home for the signature-required shipments, and everything else nets me $360.00. That doesn't seem worth it to me. Is the Jig Up???

Sorry if it's been mentioned before, but just thought of another good use for the coins. Liquor/wine stores & gas stations that charge a 5% premium for paying with credit cards.
