On my cell phone on the side of I-84 above Pendleton Oregon and was able to get three of each! Quite a few bad gateways but the only time I had to prove I was human was when I try to go in to order history…
This is the first I got to prove that I am human. You have to press and hold the button and will take you to your cart (since that what I press before going to proving human thing). A few bad gateway but I got thru. The extras I got of Morgans and Peace will be part of my precious metals (I'm accumulating) traditional wedding gift for my son's upcoming wedding.

What an utter load of hot rubbish. I finally managed to complete my order at 12:26 EDT but that was only after well over 20 "Page not found" errors and, on each of the final 10 or so attempts, having to prove that I was a human twice in a row before being allowed to retry payment phase.
I understand the technologies behind web sites quite well and it takes special talent to create something this bad. It looks like the lousiness is an intentional effort to create some sort of Skinner box.
Be thankful u got to complete it. I dud same and zero to show for it.
In the cart at 12:00... 3 Peace Dollars. A lot of trouble this time. Did get email confirmation but no confirmation on mint site. It did say I reached my order limit,so all should be good.

After 22 minutes and 15 "page is not found" errors, finally got my order in. This was the worst one since the Mint re-tooled the ordering system.
That's the one I got nearly every time I hit place order. I thought for sure one of the tries would work. However, instead of an order number I got this or the stupid human bar each time.
I was ordering on my laptop and phone at same time - finally got the order done on the phone!

Spent a while ordering Peace dollars. Eventually, I got a text saying I'll get text updates and my cart went empty, but if there was an order confirmation screen, it crashed. Went to order Morgans and that eventually worked correctly. Still not sure if I have Peace dollars ordered. Order history doesn't work.
This is exactly what happened to me last time, got the confirmation email later that night and could see it in order history later that day, never went to a confirmation screen, but the order appears to have been entered
Shut down, locked out and kicked to the curb. Was at the checkout 20 to 25 times and hit the final button, then "page can't be displayed" Back to the cart the last time and both Morgan and Peace were sold out.
At least this time I made it through after I can count the kick outs and error outs. I restarted the single order payment process for 3 of each multiples times. It told me my card was invalid after about six tries so I had to switch to a different card. Order No. 10608XXX

3 morgans in bag 3 peace then froze came back 3 morgans in bag and 1 peace on checkout decided to go ahead. many attempts to checkout , page not found, bad gateway, prove you are human. all of the proceeding over and over. Finally order accepted at 12:18 went back for 2 more peace. Same thing over and over again but finally accepted at 12:26.

That was not an easy experience for me. Every page but the final step worked well. Would always give me a bad gateway on the very last click. Finally got a few though.
This didn’t go unavailable it’s because of the massive snafu with orders. Some got lucky but I am seeing a lot of angry people. Mint 100percent caused this to sell slower. Still half hour pretty quick considering two desirable issues released simultaneously 🧐

Last time for the gold i used my phone. its amazing it was faster than my actual computer
I'm going to go WAY out on a limb here...so please don't cut it off...but whatever technical steps the Mint recently took...although still annoying...by kicking out most of the bots, has at least allowed more "people like us" a relatively decent chance of landing a coin.
I only say this because previously, they were usually gone before the race even started.

Anybody ever try this ? Got my order in for 3 of each then put 3 more in my bag for tomorrow.
HHL should still be in effect tomorrow
Forgot about that. Could just as easily put 3 in the cart tomorrow for the day after if they offer tomorrow. I only get one shot then because I have to clear then out for S mint ASE day after tomorrow.
I can't read the marker in the pic...but here it is...maybe someone has a 35" monitor and can see it better than I.
It says Wheats Valley mile marker
That's somewhere between Roanoke and Lynchburg, Virginia.
...and since that's only less than 10 miles from each...probably did have great cell coverage up there!
Mount Washington or any mountain range in the Shenandoah Valley - I'd rather be there placing my orders in a heartbeat

I ordered three each of the P, S, and D Morgan dollars and three of the Peace dollars so that I would have extras to trade thanks to my credit card being compromised before the O and CC Morgan dollars shipped. If you or anyone else is interested in a straight up trade of a Morgan (P, S, or D mint mark) or a Peace dollar for a Morgan with a CC or O privy mark, let me know.
For those interested in a trade, I cannot confirm any trade until I get the coins from the mint. Who knows? Maybe my card will get compromised again before they ship since we have to wait until November for today's batch of coins.
Both orders of 3 each in the bag within 2 minutes...spent the next 30 minutes unsuccessfully trying to check out. numerous errors, prove your human, even a message saying I was using automated equipment . My old laptop just couldn't get me checked out. Same with my phone. Coins are still in my bag, is it possible I could check out tomorrow?

I thought I read on another thread that someone was able to call in to the Mint and change the credit card used on an order that had not shipped yet - for instances like yours or even someone's credit card expiring between now and the actual billing charge/shipment?? Did I read that wrong?
I am having trouble logging in to my Mint account, tried resetting password and still no luck.
Luckily I was able to get a Peace Dollar checking out as guest.
Oh yeah, and plenty of issues like others have posted.
One of these days maybe the website will work better.

That is the problem. I had stuff in all my carts and I had to empty them. Broke my heart. I thought about creating new accounts. Lol

Assuming they stay there, I think so. And since you can start the process from the checkout screen, as opposed to the product page, it should be fewer clicks.

I think Shenandoah Valley and the National Park are a bit north of there...but still...that whole stretch of I-81 travelling North to South is a beautiful ride - with the exception of the fact that it's a MAJOR trucking route.
Getting off and driving Skyline Drive is also a bucket list thing to do...for EACH season!

100%.
The preorder system is the way to go. Yes, the Mint is here to serve the people but they have to balance that with keeping the perceived value of the product and slow potential losses.

Did these state Nov 15th for shipping? I was in a hurry, but I think it was something like that and not October like the others.

That was "philographer", not me. I may go there soon to escape the heat!

Wow. Incredible. I didn't even think of the phone.
I guess my order went through since the US Mint has ALREADY charged my credit card for the coins!

20 minutes of errors and finally, I got an order completed. My card shows the pending charge, so i feel good about it.
What a pain. Had a few points where I got a page that said I am not human (which may be true).
Early on, when I hit finish order, it would go to a page saying the page I asked for does not exist.
I am guessing for me, too. Did you get a confirmation email or an acknowledgement email yet from the mint? I only wanted one each.
No luck here. A dozen time outs and a few 'you're not human's and it was done. Congrats to the winners.
3 & 3... finally. Lots of errors after I got them in the bag, but after 10 minutes it went through.
TBD
It says Wheats Valley mile marker
anyone get confirmation emails yet?
Well, got my 'Order Acknowledgement' email, USM1065XXXX, see how this plays out.
Got an email, and credit card pending charge.
