They just suck. I figured on my phone I'd only open one window at a time and got banned for trying multiple times despite that the site crashed each try. WT*?
How did you guys not get banned?? That's incredible. I was able to get to the buy screen a couple of times early on but when I clicked on it never added to cart. This is the worst for them ever. Not that they care at all. No idea how anyone got anything.
I'd rather them get rid of these extremely low mintage issues and just mint to demand so actual collectors can get the coins without giving lucky dealers and non-collectors thousands of dollars in profits.

Got to last step, processing order, error, sold out by the time i got back in
I have not idea how you got back in w/o being banned. This was SUCH a waste. You follow all of their stupid steps, it times out, you try again only to get banned. How stupid can they be to set it up so that you get banned????
I got in finally, but not the way I thought I'd get in. My IP address was banned by their CloudFlare so I picked up my cell and turned off the wireless and went straight to Verizon Data. Then I went to my Gmail and clicked the link and got to the site. Had to do some of the verification BS again, but then got through. I got one in my cart. I got to check out, I got through checkout, and I have a confirmation of order email from the mint and my card was hit. So, I think I got one.

Just crazy. Good luck, ladies and gentelmen.
Nice. I don't have the know how. You got the gold?

Both in my cart, couldn't check out. Gold sold out - removed, then another series of refreshes and entered my security code and checking 'I accept'... Was able to get a silver one, but didn't know that from the screen as it keep freezing - my phone dinged and showed my order. Wasn't sure what I ended up with, so went to bank to see the charge amount...
Ordering from the mint is now easier than ever. NOT..... just pass through the Captcha hoops, hope the site doesn't jam with traffic, don't get banned, oooops start over....something went wrong....grrrrrrrr

if in your bag, is it on hold for you?

I got to Final Confirmation, then..."Oops, something went wrong!"
Yep, and then banned on top of it all.
I knew it would happen.
Same here. I can't remove it from my cart, either, so if I ever get through to try and buy the silver, I won't be able to check out.

No it isn't officially yours until the order is confirmed and placed. Adding to bag does NOT hold a coin for you.
Imagine blocking actual customers. I don't get why they can't have ID verification and a lottery for high-ticket items like the 20XE
Absolutely ridiculous.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Sucks to have one in the cart and click checkout only to find out I am now banned.
This is a new low even for the mint. I’m a 20 year customer who can’t even sign in.

Is the silver sold out too? I can't access the site now.

Same thing happened to me, terrible way to run a business. Oh well.
Sugar magnolia blossoms blooming, heads all empty and I don't care ...

Had 3 computers/family members on it for me:
1.) Blocked after refreshing
2.) Final Review....OOOPS......Sold out
3.) Blocked
I got the silver at least, GL everyone!
I have not idea how you got back in w/o being banned. This was SUCH a waste. You follow all of their stupid steps, it times out, you try again only to get banned. How stupid can they be to set it up so that you get banned????
This is ridiculous. 20 minutes of refreshing and I can't even get into the damn mint's website.

Yes, and even if you are able to click "confirm order" it isn't yours until it goes through. Mine did not

Tried another computer site crashed
For everyone who got banned: try a different browser. I was banned in Chrome but Edge worked for me
no
No idea how long that the ban lasts. Can't log in at all now.
no

I can't get the stupid gold one out of my bag in order to check out the silver one
multiple failed credit card attempts on the gold until sell out.
would not process CC.
no gold for me.
The fix is in ? what utter BS!
I got the silver one and mint email confirmed. Did not even try for the gold.
Well that was a hoot....Not much.
Nice. I don't have the know how. You got the gold?
"Banned" could be from "excessive" refreshes? I have no real knowledge, just a guess of how "they" may have a trigger set.
How did you do it w/o ever being banned?
Must be my lucky day. I got the gold and went back and got the silver. The confirmation emails from the mint are timed as 11:01 and 11:06.
If I see one more effing boat or one more effing bicycle...
How do you do that?
Both in my cart, couldn't check out. Gold sold out - removed, then another series of refreshes and entered my security code and checking 'I accept'... Was able to get a silver one, but didn't know that from the screen as it keep freezing - my phone dinged and showed my order.

Repeated error messages...banned.
All I can say is that as much as the U.S. Mint tries to improve the process, the more dehumanizing and demeaning it gets.
For all those who got them. Congratulations.
Was at. Checkout for gold...then banned...same with silver....what a mess..
got a silver
The ban is only for like a minute, I got one before I was able to get to my cart.

Still trying to pick up the silver but keep getting the ban

Just checked. Several refresh to even get to the silver catalog page. Still available12:23
Oops...Something went wrong - Refresh
