I seem to be in the same boat as RPT. I saw the pending charge on my card a couple weeks ago, but then it disappeared and my order still shows processing. This gives me at least 1 more credit card cycle before I have to pay the bill

Been reaching out to the mint for a week. Their on-line chat leaves lots to be desired, phone line is a non responsive black hole  In a seemingly threatening chat tone, one smart aleck asked me, "you want me to cancel your order"!?  The best response I got from the mint, was from all places, a message sent through their Facebook page last night. They replied this morning to begin contacting mint customer service. I got my update emails this afternoon.

I continue to maintain that they should not be doing pre orders at the start of the year if they have no confidence in their ability to produce and fulfill. Supply chain and staffing constraints are not the customers' fault.
I realize that the commemoratives are congressionally mandated, but then at least don't accept pre orders 6 months before any chance of fulfillment.

I realize that the commemoratives are congressionally mandated, but then at least don't accept pre orders 6 months before any chance of fulfillment. As a Plant Manager in a manufacturing operation, I can say, projections are based on staffing assumptions, made at that time the schedule was settled. It is extremely difficult at best, to project true production 6 months from now, unless you have a 100% proven 8 ball/or crystal ball. I understand supply chain and staffing, are not the customers' fault however, considering "current market", conditions with COVID resurfacing, manpower shortages, delays should be expected, just think about new employee safety training period. That said, I'm NOT sticking up for the Mint. What's woefully lacking, is the Mint, providing reasonable explanations, with updated time lines to the schedules. This is basic business the Mint doesn't seem to understand, to keep customers informed.

My order from March is still "processing".
Sadly, the credit card I used to pay was stolen, so I'm sure I'll be dealing with all kinds of annoyances to get this coin. if I EVER get it.

Mine still says processing as well and a few days ago the available balance on my credit card is lower by what I reckon the cost of the coin will be (have to translate US dollars to UK pounds).

I am waiting on the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor 2022 Colorized Silver Dollar.
I already have the standard proof silver dollar and proof half dollar National Purple Heart Hall of Honor 2022 coins thanks to a CCF member in the USA.

Got an email update that my order has shipped. Checked the tracking number at USPS and they show Label Created, not yet in system. The coin is going to my brother in Florida so they can sent it over to me in England.
