Is the silver sold out too? I can't access the site now.
Just checked. Several refresh to even get to the silver catalog page. Still available12:23
How do you not get banned by refreshing?
I have no idea how the Puzzle Palace, aka THE MINT. thought process, much less the catalog algorithm, works. My "Refresh" guess was just that, a wild a** guess.
I did get what I wanted as posted much earlier, could have been the first order number posted,
USM081030XX at the 8 minute mark. Stomach turning ordeal for sure.
Remember the Mayflower releases on 11/17. A repeat of today? I don't thing so as it won't be as popular as today's ASE. At least I hope not.
Yep I had the gold in my cart and it just kept screwing up and by the time like others it was sold out. The silver the same thing was happening than all of a sudden it was not in my cart anymore and checked my email and sure enough the order went thru, Stupid................
Just finally confirmed order on the silver. Again as I did with the 2019 S ERP had to manually enter my card information. Crashed twice when I used a saved card. As soon as I typed my card in it went through.

Man you guys are lucky. I've gotten to step 3 several times. Crashes. Refresh useless.
Using saved info crashes it. You need to manually type everything in. That's the only way. Note: It'll still crash like 5 times that way too but it'll go through.

And at this point... congrats to anyone who has been able to get a silver one even. With things getting locked up this far in the offering... they must be getting hammered also....
After many attempts, being locked out, banned, spit on, sworn at, stepped on, and crapped on, I finally got a silver after fighting with the web site for 25 minutes. Not interested in the gold, so I never even tried for that one.
One whole hour of struggling before I got the order thru, crashes and failure to render a complete credit card page. The absolute worst experience by far. Even that 30,000 ASE last year was a piece of cake next to this.
I used to work a little with developing websites before I retired. If our hospital websites had behaved like this, our web team would've been fired.
Well keep trying folks. Just got email confirmation for silver. Now wait for shipping notice....won’t feel confident until tracking first then in my hand.
WOW, finally got confirmation page for silver.
Signed on 10 minutes before launch.
Got kicked out shortly before noon.
Had similar experiences with capcha and error 1015.
Took countless tries to enter and save cc info.
Finally got confirmation page and cc notification.
By far the worst experience ever for the Mint. Why do I feel like I say that every time? I thought things were improving...enter Cloudflare. I applaud the attempt to discourage bots and the like, but obviously this was not tested enough. The automatic refreshes that the mint's own website uses to check you out were counting against you for the rate limiting and banning people who just got to the checkout page and selected a credit card. Obviously at about 35 minutes they pulled the plug on Cloudflare because I could click refresh with wanton abandon and not get the Cloudflare rate limiting message anymore. Then, the requests were all going straight through to the mint as usual and their machines were choking...trying on 3 different systems I finally got a silver after an HOUR.... Thanks Mint.
Same here. Finally got a silver. Just took 75 minutes. Gheeeesh. Once in my basket, it was just a tad easier, but still got thrown out via "something went wrong" about 20-30 times.
The Mint’s room with the servers in it must be on fire. The main webpage is down. This is a disgrace and a horrible way to treat their regular customers who buy their money losing junk year after year. This might be the last straw for me and the mint.
I took the entire day off only to be intensely frustrated and to get to this point almost immediately just to have the button freeze while 1945 other people were somehow able to check out. SUCKS.

What a waste of time.
Is this coin the next lowest mintage Silver Eagle after the 1995-W Proof ?
Cashback from Mr. Rebates
finally got to the silver page and now the red button to buy it doesn't work. this is the worst ever for the mint.
You got a gold?
STILL crashes with every sign in attempt on any browser.
Silver - USM08246XXX
Finally got a checkout confirmation at 12:50 EST.
Time to relax. Take a deep breath. I got silver, but not the gold.

I had to remove the gold from the bag but I just got a silver coin!
Now frozen on the continue checkout screen. Unreal.

Holy chit just got second one on different account.
Just got the Silver:

All I can say is wow.... congrats to anyone who might have got the gold.... just depended on how the electrons flow
I keep getting to the continue checkout before payment and billing. Then, the continue checkout does nothing.
And at this point... congrats to anyone who has been able to get a silver one even. With things getting locked up this far in the offering... they must be getting hammered also....
Stick with it....I got the same...many times. Don't forget to click 'accept terms and conditions' if you make it to the last screen. Good luck!

I'm sure the dealers all had their stooges lined up for this one. The gold will go for a ridiculous premium. Heck, even he mint price was ridiculous.
Got to last submit button several times only to crash.
Finally a silver. 8302xx
Is that smoke I smell coming from the US Mint server??
Just got a silver at 1:10
What lucky dogs got a gold? How you didn't get locked out I don't know. That IP address switch on the phone was clever.
REFRESH TOO MUCH BAN ?
Amazing over an hour out and still crashes all the time.
Truly a new low for the Mint.
Well keep trying folks. Just got email confirmation for silver. Now wait for shipping notice....won’t feel confident until tracking first then in my hand.
Silver at 1:11 8309xx
0 gold, 5 heart attacks, 2 silver ✔

A silver just now at 1:10 pm. 45 minutes of checking out. USM08305XXX
Gold was in bag earlier but was blocked, cloudflared, metered, etc. Showed as sold out so had to remove.
Hopefully we use a different computer vendor at the department of defense?
He who knows he has enough is rich.

Finally got a silver. Very frustrating. Does an email come at some point, which repeats order # and other details?
Had a gold in the bag, check out stage one complete, then a not a valid item in your bag message. This was around 1205

Incredible that over an hour out keeps crashing.
How the H*ll did gold sell out in 5 min? I have not idea how 1945 people got on in 5 minutes.

Have to put this here too, for any P&R fans.

Here's what happens after the ban
Three different accounts, three silver. All using forefox.
Got the silver. Guess the Mint slowed down the bots.
No, didn't even try for one. I was strictly after the silver.
Just got a silver after trying for 1.5 hours
Site still down
