I just looked up my order on the mint website and my order status is Backordered expected ship date 11/26... what do other waitlists say? Im sure some of us will slip in at the last moment.... Thanks, Diggin

I was on the waitlist and got an email yesterday saying that it was sold out and my order cancelled.

Dear United States Mint Customer,
Thank you so much for your interest in the American Eagle 25th Anniversary Silver Coin Set.

Due to overwhelming demand, the product reached its production limit in sales quickly and the United States Mint accepted a limited number of orders on a waiting list in the event that products became available due to order cancellations.

Unfortunately, based on the time your order was taken, we can now confirm that your waiting list order will not be processed. Please note you will receive an order cancellation notification confirming this when your order is cancelled from our system.

So who knows? Who let the government run this program anyhow?

I ordered at 5.15 eastern and no cancellation yet. I am hopeful, but not optimistic.
