Late August.

Agreed, option 2 was the way to go... 3 minute wait.

I'm stuck in a meeting since 10am and got as far as "checkout" online.....very lagged though, but couldn't seal the deal.
Exited the meeting for a "bathroom break" and made the call. Worked out well and I got a friendly rep who could speak English

The website is still down. I called using option 2. It took a total of just over 6 minutes to be on hold and get a completed confirmed order.

<< <i>I got 10 already. from website and phone >>

Limit 5 per person and household

brendanlam · May 25, 2005 4:03AM

TWQG · May 25, 2005 4:20AM

15 sets on the way

CarlSpangler · May 25, 2005 5:18AM

After bouncing around the mint site, I found this post in another IE window. I called, and was on hold for about 2 minutes. I now have 5 ordered.

I used the 2 option.

thanx

bbrewski · May 25, 2005 5:50AM

the first one on ebay sold for 69 bucks to some sad sob

INXS · May 25, 2005 6:19AM

I am glad it took so long after thinking about it I dumped my order after reading some of these posts. I wont sell them on EBAY why should I pay 19.94 + 4.95 S&H for $10 worth of coins. For people who sell I would say buy and I hope you all make a good profit but for me it just doesnt make sense.

nolimitz · May 25, 2005 6:33AM

Got my 5 ordered on ph option 2 as well. the web site is still hosed. Managed to get as far as Address confirmation and then errored out.
Sheesh what an oufit.

1977topps · May 25, 2005 7:02AM

I will never buy from the Mint again.

bbrewski · May 25, 2005 7:13AM

good buy from me i will give u such a deal

beartracks42 · May 25, 2005 8:38AM

I got in via option 2 also. Bought 3 sets of the Westward nickel sets. I will probably end up giving 2 of them to my granddaughters, who I am convincing that coins are better than boys....LOL

they are both 14 yrs. old. lol

TommyB · May 25, 2005 8:51AM

I just called the mint at 4:45 Pacific and ordered the 5 set limit. 4-6 week delivery date.

razorface1027 · May 25, 2005 8:55AM

It's workin' fer me.

NEVERMIND...It worked all the way up until I wanted to place an order for the Westward Journey Set. Oh, well!

GAT · May 25, 2005 8:57AM

Let this be a lesson to everyone, next week use the phone to order your Mint Sets.

TerrapinWill · May 25, 2005 12:03PM

Ordered 3 this evening on the phone...which is the same thing i will do for the mint sets.....it took me about 10 minutes.....if the price jumps when they sell out, maybe I can make a few bucks.
