    My shipped order for three also shows a W mintmark Congratulations set. Is the mint screwing up the two products and mixing them together?

    VERY unlikely. Go by the product number. Not the description. Because that's all the warehouse will be looking at when packing boxes for shipment.

    There is no product number that I can find. The order page has a P mintmark, and the email has a W mintmark.

    I guess this means the mint isn't as perfect as we think they are.

  • safari_dudesafari_dude Posts: 507 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I have a confirmed email from 11/26 for 3 Congratulations sets….yet nothing since. When I called the US Mint today the representative confirmed the order…… and said I was good to go. So why wouldn’t I have received anything yet? Seems subscriptions should be mailing before orders from today, correct? 🤔

    Wow

    Hope I'm not hosed.

    I got my subscription in a while ago. Looked fine in my order history. No shipping notice. Ugh

    Now order page says subscription processing. Don't know what that means.

    Relax everyone!

    The Mint is processing & shipping 270,000 W's, and up to 60,000 (probably 40k) P ASE's today...

    Relax & be patient.

    No one thinks they are perfect. Go into your Order History. There is a product number above the quantity. If it is 26RF, it is the 2026 Congratulations Set with the Philadelphia (P) ASE.

  • privatecoinprivatecoin Posts: 3,736 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Yep my order shows W instead of P. Yet when you click on the item link it takes you to their page show it as P.

    I thought you were claiming this system was all automated and fair yesterday, yet today I was able to log in using a different browser setting and bypass the safeguards, and also received an email claiming they are shipping a W mintmark Congratulations set.

    How was the product description switched to another name for today if it was all automated?

    How did the automated system send emails with wrong product descriptions, and how did people order a product with a wrong description as well?

    What was sent to the shipping department?

    Are customers going to receive a "Congratulations, you received the wrong product? package due to confusion?

    We will know the answer to the last one when the packages arrive, but will never know the rest of the answers.

    I still think something is just broken in the system. I logged in 5 times. 3 times I got no waiting room. It let me submit an order despite my subscription (they could still cancel). Something was not working. It even let me put two in the cart until checkout.

    It's all fun and games, anyway. [Unless you really wanted one and got shut out. ]

    I have somewhere between 5 and 8 of these coming. The system was all over the place. It appears it was allowing for the original HHL of 3, as one account I had 2 subs and it let me order one, for now anyway, while another account with 3 subs would not let me buy today, as it was in excess of the HHL. The waiting room was all over the place as well, as it would let me sign in and order after the onsale time with no wait, but another waiting room was at 57 minutes.

    Nothing broke. The mint has always honored what someone has ordered. Many times I have had subscriptions prior to them lowering limits and not once had the mint removed my orders.
    Anyone who says limits were lowered in the past are surmising that but in reality has never happened.

    They lowered the HHL and that affected the subscriptions to lower those HHL amounts also.

    Oh yes when they lower the HHL that does include subscriptions. If they lower it from 3 to 1 you can only order 1 at that time. Those who ordered 3 prior still get 3

    I'm kinda hoping they have the reverse of the 2025 coin ...... just like the 2008 ASE .

    Probably not though !

    My Congratulation is due on Saturday but I'm close to Dallas, I just added the dual date W today.

  • OnastoneOnastone Posts: 4,306 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Picked up two Congrats on Subscription...and have received shipping confirmation. Picked up two Dual Dated Proofs today...went into the waiting room at 11:59, entered the site at High Noon, signed on and had purchase finished by 12:02. I had pared down subscriptions from 3 to 1 on the proofs because of the inflated pricing, but the dual date Eagle is so different in the series...thought I'd better grab one more today. I have a feeling there will be more available tomorrow, good luck to those who want one.

    Well, there we go. Assuming they stick to it, that should take the buzz out of the dual date coin. Crazy that they allowed so many people to buy more than one Philadelphia coin, given the low mintage and the HHL, but, it is what it is.

    If they do that, these become bullion. The only reason anyone cares is because they are P not W.

    And that is not what "reverse of 2007" means. It was a different die. The 2025 reverse die is the same as the 2026 even if you use a different mint mark.

    I got onto my order history page. It is all screwed up, only show me orders from years ago.

    Like someone else, my subscriptions page says there are no subscriptions associated with this account.Even though of them already shipped today.

    Mine did that once then was restored later .
    Large volumes of activity can corrupt some files. Some are cleaned up with later updates and some require special attention.
    If not restored tomorrow call customer service
