    Still has add to bag red button.

    This has been this way for me every morning. There are like two points of time in my opinion. Immediate where upon refresh and in stock and order placement is tried and then the lingering minutes later. The lingering minutes is long enough for dozens of order submittal requests where it kicks you back out and you have some home but you are not expecting it to take but you keep going anyway just in case. Anything that is accepted for an order is within the first minute or two.

    Holy cow! I don't believe it! I got a gold! It took a minute and a half, with three attempts at getting the CC page to stick, but it eventually went through to Confirm. The Confirm step spun for a while, then up came the order confirmation page with order number.

    And I had zip in my bag to begin the morning. It took three refreshes to even get the "Add to Bag" to show up. Is everyone else asleep?!? ;)

    Incredible. I was in and processing in less than a minute and got kicked back. Congrats. I really thought I had it. Sounds like I got kicked out before u got yours. Ugh. Crazy.

    Yes, saved in cart. Tried to submit while it still had the "item not available" thing up. No dice. Had to refresh and submit.

    Did the silver show as available today too?

  • KliaoKliao Posts: 5,562 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I thought I got a gold too. The order was processing then it started to go to another page so I held my breath. Only to be disappointed by the page not being found 😭😭😭

    I'm still dumbfounded as to how my order got through. Nothing in my cart to start. Had to enter the various addresses multiple times, had to enter my CC and enter the "3-digit code" every time, had to select the confirm box every time - like I said before, it was at least a minute and a half from start until it got confirmed. Totally amazing!

    Was already in the cart. I had Paypal ready to play. I entered all address info into the checkout screen minutes before the release and had it ready to go. when I hit refresh all data is que'd and ready except the item is no longer available still and I can't click on submit order. I then refresh till it shows in stock and I jump on that accept terms check box and hit submit. Talking mere seconds from in stock to submit. But it still took me three attempts today.

    When u str refreshing till says in stock meaning u have coin up and are watching the box under the coin, not the unavailable language in the cart?

    No, I have done that before and it just slows me down. I focused on one connection, one line. I also did not want too many connections running from my IP to the mint server.

    If you go right now and look in your cart and try to check out you get the error that the coin is not available. You can only go so far without removing it from cart. This is the point I refresh until the cart shows the coin as available instead of not available. At this point you are now allowed to submit your order. Don't forget to check the terms box and then jump on that order button.

    Edited to add and clarify: I do not have a tab open for and I don't look at the coin page. I am only looking at my cart, my one and only view point is within the cart.

    I got one Gold Sat morning. Confirmed order, PAYPAL pinged. Still waiting for shipment.
    I think its just luck period. No real method at all. If you get the "order processing" just hold your breath and cross your fingers......you are that close......

  • RaufusRaufus Posts: 6,816 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Wow. Incredible day for so many. Hsppy 4 u all. I was clearly inside of the time in which some got it. Incredibly frustrating. I just can't imagine how much scoring one must make your day.

    Just sucks when it's processing. All looks good and nothing

    Same here, and I got the Gold finally! Had Silver one processing order in another browser, but it failed. At least I got the good one, and already received order confirmed email. Last 2 days I was on their banned list and couldn't even sign-in, but today their browser check finally let me thru. I'm stoked, because I have a very slow connection out in the boonies and down in a blocked canyon. My fingers were so nervous I couldn't click the terms box right.

    My sense is the morning traffic has fallen off dramatically since Friday; a lot of people and bots have given up. This has to increase one's odds, especially when the mint may drop random amounts in greater quantities on certain days.

    If you actually collect gold eagles, a $75 gold drop is a big deal in one day, and no laughing matter.

    Same with getting this coin to complete a set. If you are in it just to flip, you don't care at all, and move on to the next game.

    Sounds like more people got it than not today. I have just had the worst imaginable luck with this issue. That today seemed to be the best day to try makes it all the more frustrating. Judy don't get y I was booted today.

    Those that got it probably placed their order milliseconds before bye hence why I got a page not found after placing order :'(

    I was locked out after refreshing 3 times...is anyone else getting banned after only 3 refreshes? That's nuts!

    Plus...why is the site being metered when only a fraction of overall capacity is being used at that moment???

    Plus...if you're logged in, the system knows that you're a "real" customer and not a bot.

    I got a gold this morning too. Site acted differently today but that was evidently a good thing because after a couple errors I got a confirmation page. Sorry I didn’t join in the excitement here earlier, I tried to get a little more sleep.

    Congrats to those that got one this morning.

    It does seem odd that there would be this many available. The CC declines should have been available last Friday. Would these be violation of household limit cancelations possibly?

  • MgarmyMgarmy Posts: 2,296 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Well there is one more silver avl. Found out this morning my wife had gotten me one for a Christmas present, she did not know I had ordered one as well. I called the mint and cancelled mine. Both my wife and mine were listed as shipping but mine had not been picked up yet so they cancelled it. Cannot complain about flippers over collectors and then screw over a fellow ASE collector. Good luck guys.

    Elaborating further, every time I clicked the final button it would spit me back to the payment step as I mentioned, with a red note that read 'Due to the value of your order, signature will be required upon delivery. Once an order is placed, the shipping address cannot be modified'. I did not change my address and was logged in with my saved address. Did others see such a note when they were unable to confirm the buy? Edit - I think it's a standard message everyone sees....
