I am right there with you. I figure if I really regret the decision there is a return policy.

Does anyone have any experience with budget shipping getting upgraded to expedited for gold/$300+ orders?
I haven't ordered from the mint in a while and didn't know that they have a budget option now. I thought the default would be standard. The website seems to state it will only upgrade to ground shipping.

I got in immediately (I was just clicking my mouse and refresh the last minute and when it became available to add to cart, I did, chose my CC, entered my CVV and clicked the box, then was done). I see some early numbers and, without posting my last 2 digits, I am curious if anyone was in before me on these. I know, from seeing some of the protected order numbers, that others are within 99 of me, maybe before me, maybe after. So far, it is unlikely that anyone was before me, or, if they were, maybe 1, maybe 2 people. Pretty cool....to me....as I am usually one of those locked out for awhile until things slow down.

It's a new stupid way the Mint handles this now, instead of just putting your order on back order, they want you to come back in a few weeks and put an order in when they get more stock.
I think they lose tons of orders this way as the excitement goes away... but whatever.

Now that they're gone a lot depends on what gold does in the next few months. Buying on the secondary market this summer will be expensive. If gold's $1000 this fall a slabbed 69 might be had for $1100.

congratulations on kicking your addiction.
I do not see these being flip-able right away. I do predict premiums post-sell out.
Here's to a sell out over the weekend.

It would have been nice to know that. I got some emails saying my orders couldn't be fulfilled. I guess 10 will have to do!
