same here, had everything setup, the whole process took me about 15 to 20 seconds. Hit the submit order button, then not available. This just makes me stay off this modern crap, it's not the money, it's the fact that you have to pay 300 to 400 percent for the same coin if you want to buy it in the aftermarket. For what? The reason I got into this hobby in the first place is the art, the hunt, and getting the best deal I can get. it's now become fighting over the bargain bin for the scraps.

@OperationButter - Congratulations for getting your order through successfully. No one else that I knew was successful at getting through the order completion process.
My coin sets have made it all the way to Southaven Ms so far before the pony had to eat and rest. Not due to arrive in Albuquerque until next Wednesday and its only a few states away.

So the info was sent to FedEx at 7pm on order day, but didn't get boxed up and shipped until yesterday.
It arrived in Southaven at 1am? Then on a truck at 4am?

Mine was just a few minutes different than yours. Expected delivery is 8.18.15. I just got the standard $4.95 shipping option.

Sounds like almost everyone who tried yesterday morning was successful. Is this correct? Looks like first day post release is the best shot for those who get shut out.
<< <i>Sounds like almost everyone who tried yesterday morning was successful. Is this correct? Looks like first day post release is the best shot for those who get shut out. >>
Not really, I've been trying for 3 days now and still without a single one. I have them in my bag but as someone else posted, it's really just boils down to luck. I'll keep on trying though, but I may end up having to buy one at the inflated price to get one for my collection. Good luck to anyone else that gets them on these extra days, wish me luck. Kris.
As others have mentioned, for those lucky enough to get confirmed orders...they're shipping fast. My 2 sets have been packaged & shipped. Expected delivery is Monday since delivery is to a work address that is closed on weekends.
Was fortunate enough to grab an order of 2 this morning at 7:30:00. In and out in under 20 seconds max. Was definitely an advantage to already have had 2 in the cart... they were left there from a failed order at 12:15 on Tuesday. I didn't have to go to be on the product page, load them, wait for the next page. That way the whole deal took maybe two or three clicks and probably only one page transfer.
I refreshed the Mint's webpage on my phone this morning every 5 to 10 minutes starting at about 6:30 to 9:00 to see if any became available. No dice. Luck of the draw I guess.

Thanks. Based on how fast it went down today, if by some chance there are any sets still left to order tomorrow morn., you might have no shot unless you already have some waiting in your cart. Might by worth a try just to test your dexterity though. lol
<<Update #1, 12:35 p.m.: Lateefah Simms of the U.S. Mint states that “a total of 16,820 (Eisenhower Coin & Chronicles) sets were sold in approximately 15 minutes.”>>
Which leaves 180 sets available on Wednesday, the 12th, plus the denied credit cards, duplicates, nonpayment, etc.
The squeeze is on to get these @ mint price as it cycles through to sellout.
I'm in the how fast is your ISP, how fast are you? crowd.
I've had one in the cart the last two days. That's all I need.
DENIED!
Maybe tomorrow. It's random luck based on infinity.
I was bummed on Tuesday when I couldn't even load a page, everything crashed after I clicked the order button. But I got very lucky Wednesday at 7:30 (4:30 am my time). Must have had perfect timing because my internet is slow. Just got my shipping info. Good luck to you all.
<< <i>"Sold out within 8 minutes. Prediction: NUCLEAR HOT"
Kevin: A month or two from now (when all eyes are on L. Johnson), won't the Eisenhower be worth just about the same price as the Truman (whatever that price is) with their similar 17,000 mintages? Thoughts?
Wondercoin >>
Mitch I somewhat disagree. Truman had HH limits of 5 vs 2 on the Eisenhower. It will be harder for dealers to build inventory and submit for those hard to find 70s. If the % to get 70 is higher than the 4% 70 grade rate then prices will come in lower. If the same 4% grade rate, I think Eisenhowers will command more of a premium.
I also think Johnson mintage limit will increase to 25k. Just my guess though. >>
"The Mint also announced that it has upped the mintage limit for the 2015 Lyndon Johnson Coin & Chronicles Set to from 17,000 to 25,000 units, following news that its yet-to-be-released predecessor, the 2015 John F. Kennedy Coin and Chronicles Set, had also gotten a bump from 25,000 to 50,000 units. "
