You have to be on the United States Mint's email list for editors...

I received notification at 6:08 this morning by email and text. By the time I got online they were gone already. Unbelievable.

I don't know what time zone you are in, but the emails go out after they are available (7:30 Eastern). You will never get one if you wait for the email.

Good practice run for the WW2 GAEs

did anyone get one today?

Oops...Something went wrong

Talk about instant lockup. Never saw them come open.

SOLD OUT before it opened...

Kliao

Nope. Was able to get one in my bag though.

Tetromibi

Same here but I didn't crash. It was just so slow.

SeatedToners

I got the text message from the mint at 11:46am saying they would be available at 12pm. Was logged on and ready to go. got it in my cart and then boom the site crashed.

Peasantry

Got it in cart but it went to no longer available in under 30sec.

This is the one time where a lottery system would have been better than trying to fight aging mint technology. Sign up from 1-10 August for a chance, Mint runs a randomizer and picks 100 people and sends them a link to order.

And 30sec seems about 25sec on the generous side.

messydesk

I was able to get the "Add to bag" screen to show up once after an "Oops something went wrong" screen, but the "Add to bag" button did nothing. I imagine they were gone in a couple seconds.

Even the bots were having trouble getting more than half of them.
This would have been a good time for the Mint to test their new anti-bot software. (which I assume they've invested in)

ifthevamzarockin

^$#&*% !!!!! That was almost as fun as the first time it went on sale.

Add to bag.....site freeze. :'(

Kdennison

This is such $h!t. I am furious at all of this and I know that probably some jerk figured out how to get bots to buy 20-30 of them for himself or herself. I got to the cart, the payment, and then it sold out. There's also no reason for the mit to artificially create a rarity with this or with the upcoming 75th Anniversary issue. Mint until demand is met. Such crap.

dtkk49a

Sold out in 19 seconds per the mint. Total BS

Kliao

I received a email from the mint saying that the coin it available at 12:02!?! Why even bother send the email when its already sold out?

Mgarmy

Got one in bag and then item no longer avl . It was a long shot at best. Should see the bot buyers on eBay shortly

PocketArt

Considering the amount of stress, and luck it took to land one when first offered, I didn't think I'd stand a snowballs chance with less than 100...gotta keep the morale up, and powder dry for the next low mintage marauder to take a shot at...high noon with the sun on our backs...hopefully!

I was rooting for you guys!

Ah ha... THAT'S why the site crashed at noon.

messydesk

Those saying that bot buyers do this please explain to me how this would work when there is an ordering limit and a bot would have to go through the same page refreshing and button clicking as a person. Thousands of people descending on the website caused an order to be placed every 190 msec. I'm surprised it took as long to sell out as it did. When there were 30,000 available, they sold out a lot faster rate than that.

JBK

I am pissed off all over again.

I was on 8 minutes early, refreshing constantly, then at noon the site crashed for a minute or two. I never did see the order button.

They just should have slipped them out on the site like they did last week, and whoever saw them got them.

CYA mint speak. No way of knowing with such a small number avl today but last nov bots were on full display. They were even bragging about it. The 2019 s ASE and some new sneaker were the big scores in that community as I remember

Goldminers

Why even bother anymore buying from the Mint?

Can you even imagine the GREED/and tech involved that will be the lasting memory of the V-1945 gold soon?

I used to like coins I found in my pocket, or the few Morgan's and $silver certificates, that my ggma gave me for mowing her yard and chatting for hours and eating her excellent sugar cookies.

Those memories and old Whitman folders will be what I want to remember, not fighting someone who doesn't even give a s for coins, and can always be first on a rigged internet connection.

SeatedToners

so did anyone on the forum get one of these last week or today?

Kliao

Nope not me.

Mgarmy

Not me.

they navigate site by command line; dont need to do the slow, human-based motions of ordering - completely outrageous and the mint NEEDS to do something about this - obv no human is completing an order in 190msec ... good luck on the gold v75 all 🤞

While one person can't complete an order in 190 msec, 100 can do it in 19 sec. The slow part is waiting for their server to respond with an acknowledgment of an action having been taken, whether that action is submitted through a browser or an ordering script. It looks like you also can't have the "add to bag" command pre-configured, as it contains a 26-character key which is generated when the server serves the page content. The wrong key won't work, and a script is useless.

cheezhed

Tried adding to bag and gone.

190ms is 1/5 of one second. So less then one second. There are 1000 milliseconds in one second.
This was definitely all “bot bought”.
The fastest human can not check out in less then 5 seconds. It’s just impossible.

RichR

I will literally scream if any of the uber low certificate numbers turn up in this final batch!!!

Sweetpie

We just need an Anti-Bots System to block the bots...

Have Nos. 1 or 2 ever turned up...to our knowledge?

Number 2 was sold on eBay a while ago after the first release. Number 1 has not come up.
