Order Canceled

What is going on with the us mint? I just checked the status of
an order I placed a month ago and it says that the items were
canceled. I didn't cancel the order and my credit card is still good
so I can't figure why it was canceled. I tried to call but they can't
accept my call "at this time". Anyone else had this happen?

What did you order? There have been documented cases where, due to
security gap, orders for the UHR were cancelled by another person,
presumably someone on a waiting list trying to shorten the wait.

Even if your order wasn't for a UHR, the Mint has been reconfiguring
some of its fulfillment software to address the above problem plus
others. Your order may have been lost in the shuffle.

Thanks for the link. Although it wasn't a UHR (i wish i could afford
one) it was a pretty substantial order. I guess I will try again even
though now I can't get the '08 unc sets. Last year when I originally
ordered proof and unc sets I only got proofs. I figured that I was
ahead of the game, as I got the proof sets at the unc price and could
just re-order the uncirculated sets. Now it looks like I'll need to
go to e-bay for them. So much for being ahead of the game.

The probably cancelled your order because they no longer had them. In 2006
I had an outstanding order for Silver Eagle Proofs that floated for months
before finally being cancelled. I think they wait to see if enough returns
come in.
