Good gosh, ONE hour and 45 MINUTES. Oh well I got ready, and just played my guitar while waiting. A little James Taylor and John Denver to mellow me out during all the problems, time, and more time. Luckily I had today off. It sure is nice the mint is making all this crap nobody wants.
<< <i>Nope, but I don't remember UHR sales being this bad. Plus, it's like someone who doesn't learn from their mistakes - why is it this painful every time? >>
You've got to be kidding! Nothing compares to the UHR fiasco!!! Don't get me started!
It's a shame we have so many people on here that aren't collectors and try to avoid the 1 unit limit. The mint should cancel all orders for those ordering more than one set IMO. These should go to people that collect not a bunch of flipper IMO.
What an exasperating experience! I started around 12:20 and finally got through at 1:40. Well I got my order 33176xxx, now for the wait. I used my last two quarterlys for the two Lincoln commems, MS70 & PR68, the good and bad. Maybe this proof will be pristene.
Now the question is will any of these sets have the infamous Formative Years DDR? If so, I think they'd go for moon money since there is only 50,000 sets being sold - making the odds much smaller of getting a DDR.

Finally got in, took 2 hours and 10 minutes. What a long, frustrating 2 hours! Refresh, wait, wait, wait, dial the 800 number, redial, redial, get to the website, wait, wait, get bumped out, retry the website, redial the 800 number, get into the site, get one into the cart, get bumped out, retry the 800 number, redial many times, retry the website, finally get to the shopping cart. WTF two in the cart! got to remove one, get bumped out, try the 800 number, still no go, redial many more times with the same result, finally get back into the website, make it to step 3 of checkout, get bumped out. Try the 800 number some more. Trying to kill the desk and find a way to reach into the screen and strangle someone. Try the website. Over 2 hours of this NON STOP repeated attempts, I finall got an order number. What a PITA.
Two of us placed orders within 30 minutes, myself and a coworker ordered one set each. There was a difference of 5,517 between our order numbers. WOW!!!! Maybe it will sell out in a day. We'll see.
I've been on the site since noon. Finally get through at 2:30. I then call one of my curlyques and ask her to order one and she calls me back 5 mins later with THE ORDER COMPLETED. Go figure.
after calling for over two hours. i was able to secure two though the web site. believe that crap.
here are my two order numbers both over the internet about 10 minutes apart. I hope they dont cancel them because i ordered twice. I paid with two different cc and sent one to Washington and the other to San Francisco
In the 45 minutes it took to get a second order in, the order number increased by 6521. The second order was placed at 1:43pm. If this keeps up it may sell out this afternoon.
I had a rough time with my back for a while (but getting better now) and even though I had to dump a large part of my collection to pay for medical bills, I decided to grab one of these as a way to ease back into the hobby and hopefully build back up my Lincoln collection again. Looking forward to receiving it as it looks really nice. Admittedly I'm a sucker for some of the Coin and Chronicles series (I'm probably in the minority here as I bought the Ben Franklin Chronicles set as well and and really liked it).

These will not sell out today and probably not this week. The die hards run about 20-30k then the rest take forever to sell.
took long enough, though
The same thing happened to me.Using quick checkout worked.

<< <i>Can you order one under your name and one under your wifes name? or will they catch that? >>
They'll catch it unless it's a different credit card account and a different billing/shipping address.
60 years into this hobby and I'm still working on my Lincoln set!
<< <i>Can you order one under your name and one under your wifes name? or will they catch that? >>
You can't ship to the same address.
FYI, the phone redial worked the best, you just need a CC and all that info, email, mailing address.

When the web clears out I'll see if it shows up under my account.
