Default Ben's Coin & Chronicles - Ouch

The ship date for these has been pushed out to 5/22/06. The rest of
Ben's coins are still at 4/30 (at least for me).

Losing hope of actually getting any, which means of course they will
skyrocket in price.

"ronrpk" rightly lamented:

Makes one wonder "what's up" with the management of the mint, doesn't it?
This brings to mind a statement by H. Ross Perot a few years ago when he was
stumping for the position of Prez. He said "It's time to go to Washington
and clean the manure out of the barn." He meant the White House in that
instance, but maybe his sentiments also need to be applied to other
governmental offices...

I just checked my order, it's 5/22 for all 5 items!

Buy the book before the coin

The mint says if you got a confirmation e-mail with a tracking order you
will be getting them. Also got to be sure that your credit card doesn't
expire before May or you no get any unless you update that information as
soon as possible or at least before they get to your order when they
actually start shipping those. Whenever that may be.

I'm just glad we can blame this one on the Mint,,, It's certainly not
Ben's fault :-)

The cc expiration is not a problem,, doesn't expire until 2008. But,
my understanding is, even with an e-mail confirmation, many in the
past have been out of luck in situations like these. IIRC, the
Westward Coin and Medal sets are an example.
