    It will be interesting to see what happens. I got the array of silver, and the puck put me over the $300 for free upgrade (USPS Priority Mail in my case as I use a PO Box). But, the puck was shown as backordered on my order confirmation when I checked-out.

    So, will I get the shipping upgrade on any either half of my order (backlogged and non-backlogged), neither one of which is over $300 on its own? We will see...

    Since the order was more than $300, your entire order should be locked into UPS signature ground. Or whatever method they use to a PO Box. So everything in the order should ship that way.

    At least that's the way it used to work. :smile:

    (Your order in your order history should show how the order is supposed to ship...)

    All of my orders - even those way above $300 - show ground shipping. Assuming that the upgrade was not automatic?

    Ground shipping is the upgrade. Otherwise the packages come Smartpost. (Talk about oxymorons...)

    Is anyone else wondering why they put a Chipotle burrito on the Apollo coin?

    Burrito? The first thing I thought of when I saw it...

    Where I blew it and missed a really early order was in trying to wait for the prior screen to finish before checking the box and submitting the order. I didn't realize initially that all one had to do was to check the box and hit submit before the prior screen was done and the order would go through.

    I did the same! :)

    Early: 6300xxx
    Late: 63147xx (Echoes....don't know what time)

    Approx 14,000 total orders...that's my take

    Order limits will disappear at Noon tomorrow....Time for the dealers to step in.

    Sweetpie,
    Trying to identify the TV show as it seems familiar. LOL.

    Excellent coin. I think these ARE WINNERS.

    Love all the pics of the puck @Sweetpie!

    What is preventing the convex side from touching the capsule? Looks like there are some tabs?

    Edit to “capsule.”

  • alohagaryalohagary Posts: 2,806 ✭✭✭✭

    good news if it is still difficult to get on the system
    hoping the pucks sell out

    @sweetpea ...... sweetie pie ....... did you work for the Mint? ;)

  • smokincoinsmokincoin Posts: 2,636 ✭✭✭

    There was a launch ceremony at KSC today and the coins were available there. Perhaps he/she got it there.

    @Paradisefound US Mint store is my guess.

    Edit: If we can figure out what’s on TV maybe we can find out which Mint store. LOL :)

    The Mother of all Air-Tites.

    It is more appropriate to call it a capsule though.

    So I just check its night now and looks like there still selling no major sell outs just back orders which I guess still available.

    I take that back looks like the Apollo 11 50th Anniversary 2019 Engraved Print is out they only made 8000 of them.

    Uh oh... I was on back-order for the print (with subscription). I need to check...

    Edit: Still shows back-ordered.

  • jerseyralphjerseyralph Posts: 123 ✭✭✭

    I just checked my order history online. My order received at 12:02 was shipped. My order received at 12:07 is on Backorder. Surprise surprise.

    Three tabs makes sense. I didn't have a good view on the photo I downloaded. The photo you show all three are visible.

    I just got an email my order #06311XXX of 5 pucks has shipped. Also, the two gold #06317XXX have shipped. A third order #06328XXX is processing. Quick!

  • ADGADG Posts: 438 ✭✭✭

    Two pucks ordered at 12:02 --- USM063104XX. UPS label printed at 5PM / shipped.

  • alohagaryalohagary Posts: 2,806 ✭✭✭✭

    Gemstrike what time was your third order

    @alohagary said:

    I believe 12:12 but the email "ORDER ACKNOWLEDGMENT" is 12:13.

  • alohagaryalohagary Posts: 2,806 ✭✭✭✭

    according to Gemstrike his third order was 6328XXX at 12:13 which could mean that the orders up to the time that his third order was placed could have been 18,000 orders

    After looking at some of the early order numbers reported, it's more like 19,000

  • JBKJBK Posts: 15,524 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That capsule is interesting. Not contoured to the shape of the coin like the Baseball HOF coins. Plus, all that extra air might wreak havoc on the coin.

    I wonder if the other coins have the HOF style capsules.

    Take out the word "probably", and the answer lies within.
