I posted this picture of 3 WW2 coins, but I did not get the 2020 medal silver to go with it as they sold out except on eBay and I was afraid to put it in my cart before the gold. But yes, all 4 together would be a good idea. Thanks.
My silver is on the way. Tracking updates from the USPS. They seem to be scanning it at every stop. It's due Monday.
Another member said that UPS simply dropped their gold off w/no signature asked for.
No bueno, especially with a package of this value.
I am not questioning your account, but that is not how it is supposed to happen.
"In the interest of employee and customer safety, UPS’s Signature Required guidelines are temporarily being adjusted such that consignees will no longer need to sign for UPS Signature Required deliveries. Despite this adjusted process the driver will still need to make contact with the consignee. The consignee must, at the time of delivery, acknowledge that UPS is making a delivery and, if applicable, show government issued photo ID."
I had UPS drop off a fully automatic rifle at my door a few years ago. They just left it there. That they didn't get signatures on the other forum members gold does not surprise me unfortunately.

Raufus- last year with the ERP debacle kliao was one of the diehards that got up every morning for like 6-7 months, Monday through Friday to get one and he finally did. You can find the thread here with the morning reports. It was awesome!
Yup. If it takes that long for the gold then so be it. Not stopping till it says sold out.
I remember this! Kliao showed incredible persistence. Hopefully those last few AGE V75’s remaining goes to the diehards right here!

My driver quickly put my package on the front porch, and when I went to get it (because my alarms on the driveway and front porch both went off on my phone, computer, and house), he saw me pick it up and waved to acknowledge my "signature" as he got into the truck and left. This is 2020 after all.

Never realized that this was such a prevalent issue. I am amazed that more packages do not go MIA.
and tonight's delivery of turkey tips was also left on the front porch without confirming delivery
only after phoning the restaurant did they tell us to look on the porch
what the hell, guns, food delivered without notification, we are in the S*** lol
I would have rather had your delivery issue, lol
my UPS driver came to the door this morning, rang the doorbell, waited for me to open the door and see the package she had just put next to the door, and said she just wanted to make sure I was home before she left. I thought it was perfect. I didn't have to sign for it because of covid distancing but it was professional.
Some details on these coin designs for interest as some are newer and may not have the history. Copied and edited from various sources, so might not be flawless, but close.
The 2020 silver V75 has the classic Walking Liberty half dollar design that was issued by the United States Mint from 1916 to 1947; it was designed by Adolph A. Weinman, a well-known sculptor and engraver. It bears a full-length figure of Liberty, the folds of the Stars and Stripes flying to the breeze as a background, progressing in full stride toward the dawn of a new day, carrying branches of laurel and oak, symbolical of civil and military glory, or triumph. The hand of the figure is outstretched in bestowal of the spirit of liberty.
The 2020 privy gold is the classic 1907 obverse design featuring a rendition of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' full-length figure of Lady Liberty with flowing hair, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, with the Capitol building in the left background. The design is taken from the $20 Saint-Gaudens gold coin which was commissioned by Theodore Roosevelt to create coins like the ancient Greek and Roman coins. The reverse design, by sculptor Miley Busiek, features a male eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest containing a female eagle and her hatchlings.
The 2020 WWII $25 gold obverse design features an eagle in flight grasping an olive branch, symbolizing peace, in its right talon. The design is inspired by the 1945 version of the Great Seal of the United States, where the eagle faces to the right, toward the olive branch. Inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “1945,” and “WORLD WAR II.”
The reverse (tails) design echoes the sun element featured on the obverse of the 1945 World War II Victory Medal. The sun from that medal has, 75 years later, risen to noon day brilliance. It shines on the symbolic olive branches on the left. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” 75th ANNIVERSARY,” “2020,” “AU 24K 1/2 OZ.,” and “$25.”
So I really enjoy these designs and remember the sacrifice of those who fought in that war, so that we could still be here to commemorate them.

Question...why did they produce a $25 gold coin...which is quite a nice design,,,but only a silver MEDAL?
Why didn't they just monetize the silver version as well?
To monetize it would have required approval from the U.S. Congress. One ounce of silver might not have been considered for such an act. ASE are, of course, already approved.

Split second at 7:45 today, got to checkout and then got banned from the site...again. If it's the last 22 for the gold, definitely a sellout today or tomorrow.
I could tell something was going on because the refresh took about 10-15 seconds longer than the past 15 minutes. When it finally reloaded, nothing was available. Never had the “add to bag” option pop.
Must be a ton of activity at that time. 730 was quiet based on the refreshing. The bots are watching this forum....

Did you wind up getting one? I also was processing for a few seconds for the AGE, but the order didn't go through and it kicked me back to the check-out page. I've now gotten to this stage multiple times, and each time, I swear I'm gonna get a heart attack! I can't take much more of this!

Did anyone see the AGE V75 come up? I did see the screen freeze then nothing.
Yes, I went to checkout and then got banned. I can never actually place an order for the gold. With 22 left, I doubt it will actually be available for much longer. Might as well give up.

All I want and what was watching is the AGE. It was available for a split second but when I tried to check out, it took a bit longer to load. No dice though.

I got a gold this morning - not the AGE. I checked one out and then tried to snag another one and it wouldn't let me check out though it stayed available for 10 minutes.

I was able to get an order in for the End of World War II 75th Anniversary 24-Karat Gold Coin. the page didn't load for me for until about 15 seconds in. I usually wait 5 seconds after https://time.is/ shows the time change over to whatever time i'm targeting. That may help some of you if you have a lengthy time delay.
I guess they are only putting one or two available per day now. My screen never changed. I may actually miss out on this one. But until it is sold out, there is a chance - even if those chances are fading.

I've never tested this theory, but does the Mint determine the same IP address to be the same household?
yes
NO
Maybe they knew what they were delivering and wanted to get the hell out of there 😂
I have a feeling these coins will sell out by Monday at the latest at the rate the US mint is making them available.
