    I just now (4:45 pacific) was able to put a silver v75 in my bag but got banned when trying to check out. what the hey?

    Wow! I didn't see then available. Keep it in your bag and try again later! At least it's in your bag and they are still not officially sold out.

    The silver medal didn’t have a household limit, I believe. There was 20 available after I got 1.

    Did something just pop at 7:45?

    End of World War II 75th Anniversary 24-Karat Gold Coin showing available right now (Edit: gone now)

    End of World War II 75th Anniversary Silver Medal was available for about 3 minutes at 7:45

    RIGHT when I thought it was safe to get coffee -_-

    error 1015 banned from checkout...currently not available.. I now have one in my bag though so I'll keep refreshing this morning. can't believe it. I guess the guy who pushes the button to release them was running late to work.

    See? The timing of release is kind of random lately.

    I have a feeling the three besides the AGE are within reach. The AGE will require your stars to align, luck, and speed.

    8:45 is the new 8:30... maybe

    Nope not 7:30. Keep checking!

    It's almost like they want the bots to get them if they're putting up random listing times. C'mon mint.

    yes friday the 13th indeed this is just one horror story

    I’m actually surprised that they have released the gold this many days in a row. Last year’s S ERP silver eagle, I went a few months every morning with nothing.

    I am guessing they are trickling out the back supply rather than dumping all at once.

    Exclusively a result of ecommerce problems as we know. Between the site problems and credit cards blocking and cancelling transactions...they must be about gone though at this point??

    which one was it? the silver v75 ... put into cart at 4:45 got to checkout at 5:45-ish up for about five seconds. this would be pacific times. your 7:45 and 8:45 eastern

  • ill try again 930 and 1030 hr EST then im done with fiasco, ill just wait till next year when the price will probably be around the 4500-5000 mark this is just plain ridiculous. Im sure some of you will have more patience than i but for me enough is enough

    They would only do one system update daily. I'm surprised their clock is suddenly broken.

    This just has gone ridiculous. It used to be a once a day check and be done situation. Now it is a mess and I feel the mint isn’t making this fun anymore. It lost its luster (no pun intended)

    its rewarding the most persistent buyers who presumably want it the most. in a way it seems pretty fair. if e.o. knew it was in stock at 730 there'd be chaos all over again

  • how could they sell stock with a 15 second window? feels like maybe it was some kind of goof?

    a friday the 13th joke perhaps? this is just so disappointing

    I feel lucky to have gotten one in my cart and make it to the checkout screen this morning...I will keep trying for now.

  • DCWDCW Posts: 7,209 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I'm wondering if any of these "sales" are real? I'm hoping for the good members of this forum that have had success that they get their coins.
    I have had my silver stay in processing from the first day. I'm no longer filled with optimism by any confirmation number.
    Apart from that, while I continue to try for AGE like all of you, I realize this has been the first Mint issue in the last 20 years that I have been unsuccessful at buying. Ive been incredibly lucky, so it might just be ok that my luck has run out.

    No, it's rewarding coders who write bots the most.

    The sales are real. As noted yesterday, I was able to check out the V75 AGE that I had in my cart in about 20 seconds yesterday. Have a confirmed order.

    On the subject of the latter, having heard the horror stories of orders canceled I've called the Mint a few times to be sure there are no issues. They insist that they email to correct issues and don't just cancel. Posts here would suggest otherwise. I'll be very on edge until I get shipping confirmation.

    I consider my success yesterday - as long as it ships - to be immensely lucky.

    This used to be a quiet little secret and predictably done for years. "Items no longer available are made available again at 7:30 am, if there are any". We've killed the golden goose.

    I am not, repeat not, trying to be snarky, but I have to ask.....
    What did we, the typical Mint customer, do to kill this long-standing practice?

    My thought was, when the site locked up Friday am at 7:30, it got noticed.
    Just a thought, I don't know anything......

  • ɹoʇɔǝlloɔɹoʇɔǝlloɔ Posts: 1,436 ✭✭✭✭✭

    just getting ready for this weekend - the mint opened up sales on these last saturday briefly, right? everything's a blur --- if there's no chance tomorrow, maybe I can sleep in 😅

    If you land an AGE, you could pay for three or four surgeries:

    $2,713 to $4,196

    The cost of a Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery ranges from $2,713 to $4,196.

    my gold v75 coin came this morning too. I also want to submit to PCGS but need to know if I need to ship them the unopened box from the mint or just the encapsulated coin. Anybody know for sure what's required? Trying to get through to customer service is next to impossible.
