Thanks for the responses.
It's a bit frustrating really... I've seen orders for a certain type of coins sit on hold, or "In-Process Backordered" since May 16, while orders of the same type of coins placed in June have already shipped.
I personally have an order placed on June 2 that posted (not pre-auth, posted) to a credit card yesterday and it is sitting "On Hold, In Stock Reserved."
The lack of consistency and process with the Mint is mind-boggling. I guess it isn't too surprising when you speak with a CSR, most of which are utterly brainless/clueless. It's astonishing that the brainlessness apparently extends throughout the entire operation.
Maybe it's intentional, to discourage individuals like ourselves. I'm undeterred.

I know that order statuses and ship schedules trump real information on this thread but it's still surprising that no one thought to recognize the third anniversary this month of the Direct Ship Program.
My hat is off to the quiet pioneers who have been able to purchase hundreds of thousands of (and, in a few cases, over a million) dollar coins.

In-Process ==>> On Hold
All of my orders were in process (and my credit cards were pre-authorized), but now they have changed back to hold.
Any other data points?

Since the ignition temp of paper is 451° (as in how the novel Fahrenheit 451 got it's name) you may or may not get your rolls to light.
Best to crank your oven up to BROIL and open all the windows!

What's the problem if the coins are "discolored?"
I've seen lots of copper, silver, or clad coins that are "toned."

I'm sure these questions have been asked at one point, but I thought it would be appropriate for a refresher:
3 - I'm sure everyone has noticed the backorder date on existing orders keeps moving back. Does anyone have an answer from the Mint as to why this is happening? Some orders process relatively quickly while others are backordered seemingly indefinitely.

Did anyone get a survey invitation from the Mint this morning? I got an e-mail inviting me to take a Brainjuicer survey for US Mint customers.... definitely not going to take it, but curious nonetheless.
