    The Page You Are Looking For Cannot Be Found. This is the message I'm receiving at the final phase of checkout.
    Managed to snag a 1/2 ouncer and a 1/4, little hiccup but not bad.

    Order History is currently offline. Please check again at a later time. Just a heads up.

    Those 4 coin sets sold out fast. I’ve never seen them go to back order for a little bit during the order period and then remind me right after.

    That 4-coin set sure vanished fast. E-bay prices being asked are very high and it always surprises me that some actually buy them for so much.

    Amazing at these pricing levels everything is gone except for the 1/10 oz. which will probably be gone in a few minutes.

    Yes I did lol, first time having issues ordering through the mint. Never saw the red “add to bag” button. Oh well, wasn’t too pressing of an issue for me to get. Probably will try another browser for the Morgan dollars release aug 3rd

    Was able to get a few 1/2 ouncers. Those seemed like the best flippers for profit per cost. Was easier than expected, though it did freeze once.

    congrats! I was trying to get 1 of those too but kept getting the page unavailable screen. oh well. i'll wait for the morgans in another week.

    Gold is up $25 an ounce today to $1,832. At least it is headed in the right direction for a change.

    It'll be interesting to watch the price on these. I still don't know what I got. I really didn't want much of anything, so I don't really care that much.

    That sucks to hear - glad you're not that upset over it - that's the important part.
    I too had issues and had a few "Could Not Find" pages during checkout and had to hold the red button down once to prove I was human...but eventually my order(s) went through.

    it's on backorder now. although on some of the pages it's listed as unavailable, but if you select the produc itself it was listed backorder.

    Don't quote me on that.

    I rcvd one e-mail titled "We Rcvd your Order" on my 2nd order but have not rcvd any e-mails on my 1st order (4-piece set).

    That's ok...and normal for the mint - I still have printouts of my "Checkout Confirmation - Order Summary" pages with their order numbers listed.

    ** Edited to correct type of e-mail rcvd and title of Order Summary pages

    Did anyone else notice the total lack of anti-bot technology, at least that was obvious to those placing orders? No captcha's and no "press and hold" buttons. Maybe they have embedded something more subtle?

    My Mint order from last week was not charged a fee.
    I'm using a Business Platinum card...maybe that is why.
    We'll soon see...as I'm using it again today!

    No "metal" or "bullion" references in the current AmEx "cardmember agreement" for the "Business Platinum Card". :)

    You're AWESOME - Thanks for providing that info & the link!
    Figuring what I pay in an annual fee for that card (and it's going up next year) - there should be very little restrictions!!!

    I started out with the intention of only getting the 1/2. Got to checkout 4 times and hit submit button. page error, back to shopping cart to try to checkout again. decided to added the 1/4, made it to check and the 1/2 was not available, so had to delete. Got the 1/4. Was bummed about the 1/2, so tried to get the 1oz and it went through instantly, then everything was unavailable.

    As I tried to checkout I got sent to a screen with about 4 other random mint stuff that was titled asking if I wanted to add something there to my order. Of course I did not, and had to go back, to try checkout again.

    Is that anti-bot or extra marketing attempt, or both?

    I got that too but at the same time I got a text from my credit card company about the gold set purchase so I assume it went through but who knows …..

    Don't quote me on that.

    I believe I was literally the last (or one of the last) to get the 4 pc gold set. After at least 4 times being taken back to my cart, the order went through. I immediately went to check availability on another screen and the “remind me” button was there. It was about 11:05 or 11:06 am CDT.

    I have not received any emails from the mint. However, my cc has been pinged. A good sign.

    1/10 ounce still on backorder, so I got one for the hell of it. I just got my 3 ASEs - they look just like walking half dollars, So it will be cool to have a "mini-Saint" to go with it.

    For me the site worked perfectly. Only snagged the 1/10 to go with my type 1. Had them all in my cart but removed them all but the 1/10.
