Why do flippers get badmouthed so much? It's not like they buy bunches of coins and sit on them- they get them into the hands of collectors who, for whatever reason, don't want to deal directly with the mint. And isn't getting the coins to collectors what everybody thinks is important?

I don’t mind flippers it helps me get what I need with out messing with eBay or picking up one coin at a time, Even if it cost me more money we all serve a purpose.

Oh and I forgot do away with the 10% advanced sale to the chosen few.

There are no chosen few. Anyone can qualify for the advance sales. You just need to meet the volume requirements.

EVERY business in America has the same program, usually far more generous than the Mint program.

CC has always had the panache

Look out O holders.

Prices are softening for them

I'm not a dealer of flipper fan...

@smuglr said:
I got 4 orders through for 1 each and only did that to have a couple to trade anticipating the big demand and the USMs usual issues.

Hate to break it to you, but you're a flipper.

How so? I have a 'CC' and 'O' to trade even up for two of the others I don't get. I'm not selling anything or making any profit. Maybe I don't understand what a flipper is lol.

You bought extra to flip. And"even up" for coins selling for $200 is actually valuing your extras at the increased market price. Yes, you're a flipper.

Okkkaayyyy whatever makes sense to you lol. Still a semi-free country you're entitled to your opinion as am I.

It is not sold out until it shows “Sold Out”

Where the mint goes is anyone’s guess

I would think you would agree, they are taking away from you too.

If I spend $1 million per year, I would expect a few perks.

I do NOT agree. They are taking nothing away from me.

Thank-you

Moving on, so in Mint history unavailable doesn't connotate sold out. Opinions appreciated. And where does the Mint go with this issue?

"Sold Out" is a different designation. They can be "unavailable" even for a coin with unlimited mintage.

These things aren’t coming back up for sale until the mint figures out their game plan.

I think it depends on whether the credit card problems are real. If they do actually have a large number of orders with missing credit card information due to their website malfunction, I think you are correct because this will need to be sorted out before they move on. If they are contemplating a change in HHL that is retroactive, they you are may be correct. If the issue is just the web traffic problem, they may continue their usual behavior as future modifications don't affect past sales.

@alangloi said:
Will/can the Mint take a pre-sale mulligan?

They could. I think it's unlikely that they will completely eliminate orders. It is not impossible that they would decrease orders.

Does the mint put up coins on the weekends?

Not yet

They do. We'll all remember the Sundsy after Thanksgiving last year when the V75 Gold Eagle was up long enough for anyone we was logged on to get one. They have an 8K ish premium still.

Just a thought... the mint sells high demand coins only at 3:00am. That would have to reduce at least a percentage of traffic. Also, they could say, “...somewhere between 2:30am and 4:30am.

Everyone has an alarm clock

Current Mint definitions of "back order", "currently unavailable", and "sold out" ...

Or perhaps if there was no COVID, how about in person sales at Philadelphia gift shop, Denver gift shop and DC sales counter only.

LOL! This was an attempt at a joke. Thought the ridiculousness of it was clear, but you coin guys are a tough breed to crack!

Yeah, blame the audience

LOL! Well more like misreading the audience instead of blame...

Missed out completely, I recently returned to work and was unable to even try to order.
Figured I would try when I returned home...
We all know how that worked out...

No upcoming sale dates because Mint is rethinking HHL so everyone has a chance. A lot of angry customers.

That's not what they said. The email said they were fixing the checkout. It said nothing about HHL

You think by now they would outsource it to Amazon.

Everyone assumes that's even a solution. Amazon doesn't process 100,000 purchases per minute either. And Amazon charges a minimum 20% commission on sales.
