<< <i>Smoothest Mint experience for me so far ! In & out Order # 43704... 12:15pm EST. 8-5-2014
Better than standing in line and all that drama. I don't see the attraction of having the 1st one or the "Label Game". >>
I agree. Is that due to low demand or a better site? >>
The former, imo.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
So, to buy any mint product online one must go to the waiting room! That sucks.

<< <i>Thanks Libertydude for your place in line. I got in alot faster thanks to you, bought 5 coins - order # 43706xxx >>
Oh great, so you flippers are all ganging up and buying out the mintage again.
To hell with the mint. I've had it.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
I got the cart crash. Went back and forth. Got 4 in the cart...reduced to 1..check out. Check email...2 orders! Somewhere in the process I checked out twice even though I got a white screen. 43704xxx @ 12:14 43705xxx @ 12:18 712 difference in order numbers but order numbers don't equal coins ordered
Both show est shipping of 8/5. But as we all know that date is baloney and will jump all over the place.

I just don't see this as being a flipper's paradise. Too easy to get. You might be able to turn $100 profit on ebay (if you're one of the first to have one in hand), but it's not worth the hassle of weirdo buyers, USPS follies, etc.
<< <i>Been on the ordering page for 10 mins now. Every time I try to put one in the cart I get an error message. This is getting really old. >>

The only way I was finally able to place my order was to keep the browser window open that was already on the product page and open a new window with the same browser & go to the mint's website. Because the browser was the same it allowed me to bypass the wait room, go to the product page & place multiple single orders without a problem. Apparently you've got to get creative if you keep getting error messages.

Not so easy to get today, and even if you do get though the chances of getting a coin by Christmas or even getting coin at all look to be slim.

I checked ebay there have been about 10 new listings for pre-sale with confirmed orders, I don't see buyers jumping all over them...

I wasn't sure if others could use it or not. When I linked it... it was at the end of the waiting time... hopefully someone was able to use it.
Just went through the whole ordering scheme up to confirming order... Opened mint website and started the wait room @ 12:56p ET, got to gold Kennedy order confirmation @ 1:10p.
I have around 50 people in front of me from a dance school in DC each making 200.00 for the time in line. Funney a dealer gave me 1800 to get him one. I am still waiting. If people did homework they would see 200.00 is being cheated

In from the start, I had a 40 minute wait, that was the best one. Another device had 1 hr 20 minutes….
Guess it's just winning the lottery to see who gets first.
Anyway, not so bad on the order number, compared to the first ones, i'm at 43709***, looks like about 6K from the beginning.
<< <i>anyone has their order shown " In Stock and reserve" yet? >>
I still haven't received email confirmation from the Mint.
OK, just got the email. Says: "Backordered 08/05/14" ... no idea what that might mean ...
Just tried to get back on website to track the order, and I was put back in the waiting room — wait time 1 hour and 50 minutes.

14 min door to door.
Something is goofy with long wait times.
I didn't buy, btw, just a test.
