On Jan. 22, I ordered the 2009 UHR gold coin from the mint and
received a confirmation email at 1:59PM EST that same day. It also
stated that the coin was "Backordered 02/06/09."

On Jan. 27, I received another email from the mint saying again that
the coin was backordered and due to ship on 2/6/09.

I received the following this morning--

Item: UH1 Qty: 1 Exp Ship: 2/20/09
2009 ULTRA HIGH RELIEF GOLD COIN
Item: UH3 Qty: 1 Exp Ship: 2/20/09
2009 ULTRA HIGH RELIEF GOLD COIN BOOK

Has anyone else received this?

Any constructive suggestions?

Yep. This is the 4th shipping date I've been given by the mint.

Sorry, only a platitude:

courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom

I received the very same promised delivery date.

Yes. In fact I had opened an identical email just moments before reading
your post.
