10 friends tried and so did I. Not one confirmed order :'(

WOW!! Yet, 29,500 managed to get one. Imagine how many were trying. Imagine how many actual collectors were shut out.

Had to put mine in 4 times. Finally got to the confirm order after 20 min. and at least 30 refresh messages. Then...

"Invalid item in bag, please remove." Take a guess what item I couldn't get.

Congrats to the winners. Three folks here got one. One sold already for $1000. At the show, one of our guys walked into the Mint room - no line and got ticket #495/500! He is having it slabbed and holding out for $1200.

Better Luck to everyone next time! Gotta admit it was both fun and frustrating.

Were these tickets only for dealers? I wonder how many in line got nothing. Any idea?

Yes, people ordering these aren't just customers ordering, they are "winners" ...like this was a computer lottery. My computer choked and I ended up with nothing. So much for my complete collection of RPs. This frustrated thousands of collectors without a doubt.

Got one

I'm going to need Valium to calm down, that was a trip.
It should be classified as an Olympic event. I mean the hurdles and all!

Good thing my other hobby is tequila....I need a drink now

Whew, it was a process, but got one. US Mint Email confirmation time stamp 9:15

9:15 E-mail as here as well. We had to be close to the last. Wondering what the final sell out time actually was?

They were for anyone who walked into the room. Then you were sent to another room to get into the line to get one. I guess it was done this way to keep order.

Sweet. Now I know.

Just to clarify....

When did the room open for number distribution? Did everyone have a shot (i.e,, starting at 10 for early bird) or did they hand out numbers to dealers prior to that.

Thanks very much for the info.

Everyone that has one in your cart remember they will probably go on sale every morning. Be ready.

I believe their is an issue with it being in your cart already. You have to go back to the 2019 palladium thread to find the answer. I don’t remember but I do now it will not let you check out with an unavailable item in your cart. Rafus might remember.

As I recall, for a while if one was in the cart you could check it out during the brief sales windows at 07:00. Did this for a while on a few accounts. Then - and I'd have to read the thread for details - that no longer worked and you had to start from square one.

I have two accounts with a coin in the cart. I'll see if there is a window tomorrow and, if so, how it works out.

I went to check out right as it went on sale 11:00 my time and got this message for 16 minutes straight.

And I refreshed multiple time before reloading from the main sit and everytime I went to checkout all I get is this message. Until 11:16 ct when I get the message "This item has sold out."
Ahhhhhh!
Why I was ready and waiting on the coin page before it was up for sale. This is not fair. I only wanted one.

Maybe someone could answer this for me since I never fool with modern coins...but what is the point in paying such a big premium for as many of these as you can get your hands on? Are you trying to get them in certain holders, PR70 maybe for the big bucks? I did get 2 confirmed and don't really care about that...I just want my piece of da pie, but am merely curious.

The struggle was real.

Got one after countless refreshing.
My father came up empty and has himself on the edge of a Mint induced stroke.
Blames the Deep State.

A friend was able to get another for me; will save the old man this time.

You had me laughing at your phrase "Mint induced stroke". I've never had one of those, but then again I almost had one in 2008 when I ordered two of the 2008-W burnished Silver Eagles and both were the Reverse of 2007 variety.

i went from one in the bag to shipping info to credit card info and then it crashed at the end of my credit card info then to im sorry this product is sold out and you have nothing in your bag. im done with buying from the mint

"I remember that coin, I flipped it on Ebay for only $425 and now it's over $1500."

Oops, something went wrong is going to be my catchphrase for the day at work.

I got one after 15 minutes of fighting, but annoyed that it defaulted to the highest shipping level. Oh well, at least I got one.

Was trying on two systems, noticed that the system that checked out as guest worked, the one I was logged on my mint account did not. It was a race to see which one got there first.

Cool, so I should be asking 3k for my pair?

Somebody on another thread quoted my e-mail to the Mint from October 10, I can't believe I kinda hit the nail right on the head so many weeks ago!

"Dear Customer Service,

I am writing to comment about your newly-announced American Eagle 2019 One Ounce Silver Enhanced Reverse Proof Coin, to go on sale on November 14. The 30,000 mintage limit is way too small for all of the people who will want this coin. I fear that I will be on your website that day and try to order one, and yet still get shut out because of the expected heavy volume of orders. Please consider upping the production on this issue to a more reasonable number, like 100,000. Honestly, if I miss out on getting this coin, I'm never buying another silver eagle from the Mint again."

poof, sol

LOL, I suspect you'll have more luck writing to Santa.

Get over it, I don't think they care if you don't order from them again. I cannot wait for the next time I get the chance to spent 20 min and $70 to make $$$$! Be thankful that opportunity exists.

PS If I worked for the Mint and had the ability, I would Block your name and account from all future SE sales to help you live up to your threat!

LOL. In the end a near-miracle occurred and the e-mails I got make me think I got one, so don't block me, I ain't out of silver eagle collecting just yet! Gimme some sympathy, I've been collecting these since 1986 and I aspire to have a complete set one day (am missing the 95-W)

I wonder what premium COA #00001 will pull?

Whole lotta ASE PTSD going on.
Hypervigilance, preoccupation with the trauma, upcoming nightmares and now the panic begins on eBay for the buyers and on the BST as the sellers try to get their commitments filled.
