Ben Franklin Founding Father sold out at Mint

This was in my notice from the US Mint today.
BN1 and BN2 were backordered but 3 & 4 oos.

BEN FRANKLIN "FOUNDING FATHER" (BN3) No longer available.
BEN FRANKLIN "FOUNDING FATHER" (BN4) No longer available.

I just got the sad news that the order I sent in by mail (because the web site was not responding!) will only be good for the Scientist dollars. This was dated today. Hope those of you who wanted them got your orders filled. I will be looking for a couple on the secondary market. Did not think that they would go this fast.
