you've got a few minutes to checkout. after that time, you're back in line
I can't remember off hand how long the prior ones took but I don't think this fast. I wonder why this one sold out so fast. Word just gets around progressively more after each one? More buying clubs?
If it is sold out, this would be by far the quickest sellout of the three.

Unbelievable sell out speed. Record for 100k?
Marine Corp vets are probably more proud of their service than all the other branches IMO.
Even though they have less than the Army, Navy, and USAF, Marine Corps vets are VERY proud of their service and sacrifice. I could believe that the Marines sold out faster than all the other services combined.
US Marines Vets would be VERY proud to own this coin as another distinction of their service...I'm not sure the other services have such a large percentage of their veteran populations as proud of their own service.
I see this coin going for $250+ on the secondary market...and Marines are generally more successful in life as well compared to other service members...so they'll proudly pay!
*** Note: this post is not meant as a slight to other service members in any way and should not be construed as such...just my own observations of my interactions with Vets from all 6 services!
They had me in the waiting room for several minutes before I was able to see that they were unavailable. Seems like the waiting room should disappear more timely once the hot item is no longer available.
One factor in the quick sellout: many people were successful in jigging addresses and getting multiple (7+) Navy coins. Their success was unexpected after the aggressive cancelation of jigged Army orders. I bet this emboldened more people to go even harder.
However, unlike Navy, the Marine coin is a presale, so there's plenty of time for the USM to return to canceling, which I fully expect.

Pre Sale my *** Magic Mike said grading was ruff when he sold his advance release days ago which means he already had coins and graded. Also Apmax had many variations labels and conditions on their website days ago then took all down.
There is some issues with this coin we are not aware of. Pre sale will allow the mint to hold shipping to allow the following:
1. HHL limit will be removed. 2. thousands will suddenly be available and disappear instantly as with the Navy coin.
Lying, cheating and back door deals have become the norm. I f you are buying to flip, forget about it. Cancel now.

I swore I wouldn't play the mints game anymore but it's our 250th birthday and at Tun Tavern (Yes, our Birthplace is a bar) each recruit got a silver dollar upon enlisting. I finally got my silver dollar.

It’s been almost an hour since I got my order received email but I haven’t gotten my order confirmed email as of yet. The first email did say it would be within 24h though so we’re still well inside that time frame.
I was in the waiting room at 10:40 CST and it said an hour wait. When I got in at 12:05 it said remind me. What the heck happened? I’ve done this many times over and this was a first. Anyone else have this happen?

Gone? All I see is being place in the waiting room when I go look for it.

I reckon the mint upped their capacity to sell out that much faster this time with a similar quantity as last time.

Big boys got more than their share
i was wrong about the waiting room being annoying.
this one was smooth all the way through
Same with Navy, when they also launched with 84,400.

I expect these to be available tomorrow when the cancellations start.
Just received my confirmation email from the mint!
If you don't get one tomorrow at 7:30am EST, then all bets are off!
I was in the waiting room at 10:40 CST and it said an hour wait. When I got in at 12:05 it said remind me. What the heck happened? I’ve done this many times over and this was a first. Anyone else have this happen?
Those hoping to get one tomorrow morning will still have to deal with the waiting room. It isn’t fun, but wait it out!
Pinehurst buying!
When will PCGS display the label?
I expect these "Pre-Sales" for non-subscription coins & medals will become more frequent.
Has anyone gotten a confirmation yet?
Yes, just got mine at 1:19pm EST.
how much is pinehurst offering?
Nevermind just got it.
$130 (currently)
