I logged in right at 12:00 and the waiting room is telling me 1 hour. The time keeps jumping up and down. It started at 41 Mins and has been as high as 1 hour and 12 Mins. This is silly.
<< <i>I waited in the waiting room, then it said I was being redirected. Took me to a page showing only the proof dollar. Very slooooow site because of the heavy traffic. I can't find the gold products. Trying to call on phone too. Just busy signals. >>
I saw it down on the bottom of the page, the other 3 coins were shown. I had to click each one, let the page load, order and repeat for each coin.
2 hours 30 minutes? Please, this waiting room is ridiculous and forces the browser to be open the whole time too. Is it a true over log, or are they simply spacing everything out like the red lights on the traffic ramps?
This was the easiest time I have ever had ordering a hot issue from the Mint. Was placed in the waiting room at 11:45 and allowed into the site at 12:13. Bought 3 proof gold $5 and 2 proof Dollars at 12:18. Order number 4292----.
Dream come true for Son and I. My son got the first coins sold Mint Marketing Director signed proof gold COA w/notation first coin sold. Expo + coin mags interviewed son. Hoinded by collectors and dealers wanting to buy the signed first proof. Amazing!

Awesome! What a great story. Don't ever sell that coin!
I give up - I finally got in 10 minutes ago, added what I wanted to my cart. All the baseball coins are showing "backordered" but I continued anyway.
Got to the payment screen and a pop-up came up asking me to take a survey on the website. I clicked no and it kicked me back to the very first screen on the order, where it is now stuck. The last time I ordered from the Mint was the UHR, which was a colossal fail. I guess they've managed to out-do themselves.
I believe the website has crashed. has anyone gotten through since about 12:45 Eastern? I'm still spinning on the send packet side of things. catalog.usmint.gov is not answering. No mint catalog page up yet...

I have. I can log on and off continually with no problems.
I think the waiting room has been compromised. It seems once past the waiting room you can sign in using multiple accounts according to previous posts.

That one should be worth monsta money to someone. Or just slab it and keep it as your own modern crown jewel.
Id say you ( your son actually ) have gotten close to the luck that the Saddle Ridge finders had. Speaking of Saddle Ridge is there any buzz over those Coins in Baltimore, or is it all yesterdays news?
I got in right away, but now it is stuck. I have 100 silver dollars in the cart, but I want to buy the 50 each of the gold. When I click "add to cart" it just spins and nothing happens.

I just logged back in and went straight to the catalog, not the waiting room, and can order.

I waited 40 minutes, then got the message that it was my turn. I've been waiting since then for the mint catalog page to show up. It hasn't. The mint catalog website is not answering.
If I try to log in in a different tab, it sends me to the waiting room page and asks me if I'd like to join in. It looks like I'll miss out on this one, because I don't see the page coming up and I will lose my place if I try to login again.
I was in line at 11:45 by luck. Waited about 25 minutes to get to mint website. Added 1 each of the gold, then website slowed down. Opened another tab on my web browser and entered easily into the mint website and finished my order. YMMV. Order # 42925***
