I would like to say a big "Thank You" to the mint for saving me a lot of money today. I really didn't want those retread Silver Dollars anyway.

    I had trouble (as I posted in the other thread) with checking out and gateway timeout... but ended up getting the CC Morgan after about 20 minutes...and I started as it opened. Cheers, RickO

    More blah renditions from the US Mint. JMO. But good luck to those who like them.

    With the TRILLIONS of $$$'s we are spending maybe they can fix the Mint while we fix the World.

    The US Mint saved me money in 2016 with the 1/10th oz Mercury Dime in gold by messing up the design and not making it Full Bands.

    Was that today? :*

    I was on the fence but I guess the mad rush and apparent sellout have made up my mind.

    I might go for one Morgan and one Peace but the full set is now off the table as a consideration.

    I tried, had a cart full, then lost it all. Thank you US Mint. I'll go buy a Vintage Morgan Dollar. Checked eBay, several listings for $200+. Sad.

    Where does it say "sometime in October" on your shipping confirmation?

    I was sort of being a smart A#s if you know what I mean. I believe ship date wont happen till then. Only confirmation I got was that my order went through. Unless they cancell my credit card ordrer which could happen,

    The US Mint's shenanigans made me $3,000 today assuming these prices hold. I do not make a lot of money. So yes, thank you US Mint for funding my ability to continue collecting.

    There have been numerous posts about a June 13th availability (which I, too, saw during my order process). And, considering the Mint has never previously waited 5 months to ship product I suspect we will see these coins long before October.

    Delivery date is sort of confusing but

    I actually found it in the checkout as I stopped to make a PDF document for every transaction. i really did not expect to find it! And there it was in RED quote

    "Pre-Order
    The expected in-stock date is Sun Jun 13 2021."
    So I guess after June 13th you might be lucky enough to have it shipped out but which day after 7-13? :#This is off their web site I think that June is refering to how long these will be able to purchase.

    Here is the text a copy and past.

    Pre-ordering window starts May 24 at noon and closes on June 7 at 3pm ET or until inventory depleted
    Product shipments will begin in October

    I agree with you totally Mr. Hydrant. Why be frustrated with it all?
