I did not receive an email but the order number is listed as processing on my orders history page.

For those who are mentioning how hard or how easy it was to order...
Please indicate in your post what type of equip (computer, iPad, iPhone, Android, etc.) AND what internet browser you were using (Google Chrome, FireFox, Safari, Edge, etc...).
We need Data Points going forth, as to what works...and what seems to NOT work for making these purchases.
Example, I made my purchase today on a laptop, using Chrome (and had some issues but eventually got through).
Why would we give any information to somebody who appears to post mostly (only?) in threads about US Mint products to resell and doesn't seem to really contribute to the forum otherwise? It seems like you use the hobby has a means to profit, and while there is nothing wrong with that, it doesn't seem as if you actually care about the hobby in any other way, at least not from your limited post history here.
If you think your computer and browser purchase methods are somehow, some super secret proprietary method, to ordering...than so be it... (BTW, it's not).
I just seem to notice that there seems to be a lot who have issues and some who have none...and I'm seeing a trend in browsers and equipment being the reason for that trend. I just want to confirm...and hopefully contribute that to the collective masses here.
As to how I purchase and for what reasons...that's my business. I contribute to those who are willing to pay a premium for not having to go through this BS...and and I'm also using my purchases to contribute to some coins I actually want to hold on to from an investment stand-point towards the future...or to leave to my kids.
There are many "types" of collectors...I'm just not the same type as you!
Got to S with no problem at 12:20 PM EST. Then few hiccups with"D" at 12:25pm but still went through
. Willing to swap for ASE 70s(recent release) if any seasoned forum member need it.

You should already received at least 1 order confirmation email---"We are processing your recent order placed with the United States Mint. .."
I got three orders in, I split up the Ds 2 and 1. Card dinged for all 3 orders, but no E-mail yet, so there are many of us that probably got it, but still no E-mail yet. I know many said it was easy today, but I've had easier orders on more limited Items before. I agree that it's the luck of the draw sometimes

I don't mind sharing if it might help another member. I think my ordering mistake today was using my phone as the primary ordering method, rather than my laptop. I got to checkout very quickly, but because of CAPTCHA, it either took too long on my phone to confirm or I didn't notice the pop up window. Because of this, I ended up getting all the way to checkout several times, before having to put my CC information in again and again. Finally, I wised up and changed which credit card I was using (one that didn't require CAPTCHA) and my order went through with no problems. Next time, I will order on my laptop and only have the phone as a back up.

Glad for you, Raufus...I know you were deeply in Ordering Hell last time!
Thank u! Sure was!! Still never got a CC.
Raufus and I are living proof of the randomness and luck involved in Mint ordering. Both of us have been around forever and know what we're doing. I got the CCs last time; he struck out. He got the S and D today; I struck out. It's luck of the draw, pure and simple...

If I could snip and paste without worrying about missing an order, I would do it. Thought about doing it anyway, but get caught up making sure the order goes through....

I use my phone every time and never have issues. Had more problems when trying on a computer.

FWIW it looks like the Ebay presale market is softer than the CC and O (both were over $200 day of presale iirc).
Most likely because buyers learned the hard way that their money is tied up until October and the sellers are violating Ebay presale policy of item must be shipped within 30 days🤔
@JimTyler said:
I had one window on S and a second on D. Got 3 S in the bag flipped to my D page got all 6 and one time through to completion
THAT'S the way it's done, You practically populate both items at the same time. Plus you have an extra shopping cart link already populated in case of "page not found" during checkout .
@carew4me said:
So everyone got their "S" and "D" which means the secondary/flip is gone for these.
"CC" and "O" will be the only long term appreciation candidates.
None of these are "long term" appreciation candidates.

I think these will be like the 2001 Buffalo Commem - the price will rise at first, then hold at that level for years.

Really? Don't you at least want to throw us off the trail and tell us that you ordered in the middle of field, while out on your tractor, on your iPhone 5s?
Everything you say is spot on, except that I have a 6s, not a 5s...
I was busy at noon so a friend went on and got two orders of three each. We're hoping the value holds in case we decide to sell off one of each. I hadvesened her to expect the worst but it worked out OK.
I know that "Teddy" on the BST forum has lots of coins to sell, but I wonder if he's buying these.

I got my two confirmation emails at 12:09 and 12:11 (EDT). I was using an old MacBook with Chrome and Safari. The last time around, my buddy couldn't get through, but I could. It might have been because he lives in a heavily populated area, and I don't.

Running Google Chrome, FireFox and Edge browsers on 2 laptops running the latest MS operating system.
Orders went through on the older laptop in Chrome today vs. on the newer laptop using Firefox for the Type 2 Eagles last month.
And I didn't get the human check at all this week vs. 4 times last time.
If anyone lives rural WiFi signal is another problem

Same here. I did. Of course, it just kept prompting me to do the same. So screwed up. How can they not know that this does not work?
Received email. Credit card hit. Mint site shows my order PROCESSING.
I got 3 of each, 2 separate orders on my phone. Errors both times but ended up working out.

I actually thought about it for about a minute after posting it...
Wondering, How "Woke" is this place...
...and if a 1990's famous movie quote from a famous Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, rated PG-13, would actually cause someone to get upset.
Seeing as "cancel culture" is real for even less...I already edited it out before you probably finished your post!

the HHL for CC and O was 10
this one was 3
It's not so surprising that there was a slower sell through today
I did not receive an email yet either but the order comes up as processing under my orders history and my CC has been dinged.

That definitely might explain supply lasting longer than expected today.
Did anyone else see an in-stock date as your order was processing? I can't recall the exact date, but it was earlier than expected.

Forgot they were on sale. Guess I will try on the 10th.
Box of 20
the backorder date in the cart was showing october 15
I use my phone every time and never have issues. Had more problems when trying on a computer.
I believe it told me October 15 when I was checking out.
Most likely because buyers learned the hard way that their money is tied up until October and the sellers are violating Ebay presale policy of item must be shipped within 30 days🤔

Which means the card will be pinged but not charged till coins ship……
Maybe. They can't see the actual payment method or details which may interfere with their verification of HHL
I got my order confirmation email.

as long as it remains a one year and done type thing, they should do ok longterm

So true and well said. Great score on those CC's. I tried hard.
Did they make 875,000 Buffalo commems?
Despite some still having issues...and continuing annoyances...at least we're not dealing with 5 minute sellouts now.
And that additional window is giving people like us a decent chance.
At least I'm hopeful now for the Peace next week. If nothing had changed with the system, I think we'd have a lot more unhappy people here today,
Just my 2 cents.
And I'm sure the "big boys" not scooting off with 1,000 or more coins from the jump is also causing some consternation.

there are 950 listings on eBay for either D, S or D&S
Most are BIN
It’s a buyers market
The Peace is the one I really want. Might actually buy 3.
