The Mint's website said that I am not human. It said that based on the way I pressed and held, I am a jackass. I had no proof that I am not a jackass, so once again, I've been shut out.
ugh...got 3 of each, but definitely wasnt easy or smooth. So glad i had my iphone out as well logged in. Kept getting the page doesnt exist and bad gateway and then the stupid human button??? ive never gotten the human button until i tried for the 2 1/10 designer set. Between that one and this, im not really seeing much improvement on the site. I think only thing that has helped is the HHL being dropped down to 3.
I don't usually buy from the mint, but I really liked the Peace Dollar. Put in an order for 3 and got bad gateway once and then an error page. I then remembered why I don't buy from the mint. I said to hell with it I don't have time for this crap. I'll buy one later after the hype dies down.
After a few "bad gateway" glitches, and another glitch where they put 3 of each in my shopping cart even though I only ordered two of each, I got the checkout confirmation, and subsequently the order acknowledgement e-mail. So does that mean my order was definitely successful, or do I have to wait 24 hours for the confirmation e-mail?
(Yeah, maybe I should have left it at 3 of each and flipped the extra. But I'm really not a flipper, and - maybe I shouldn't say anything - even one of each was a little more than my budget could stand. But this was so unique an item, one I've been hoping would be a reality when it was first mentioned, and looking forward to buy once it was announced that it was really going to happen, that I had to splurge.)
I went after peace first, even though the mintage was a bit higher, only one of the type. I figured I could trade a xtra cc for a 21P Morgan if need be. Thta is one of the fastest and easiest times, I ever tried ordering, went through in less than 45 sec,
So Now I get around to go back in and get the morgan, not so easy. It took several tries, and bad gateway messages and such to finally get thru at 12:12
Website is refreshing very quickly...was this sale a bust based upon the hype??

I forgot all about it but it looked like some were left when I tried for the peace dollar a few minutes ago. Kept getting error messages after setting payment method. When I proved I was a human it was sold out. Oh well, I gave it a half hearted try
I got the Peace dollar in my bag, then checked out, but was sent repeatedly to page not found. This was on Chrome. After maybe 10 attempts, with the bag still showing what I wanted, I switched to Edge. I was able to complete the order in one attempt. The browser made the difference in the process. Odd, because for the Denver mint Morgan, I had no issues whatsoever on Chrome.

Just tried the Morgan again and response said 'No longer available' vs 'Page not found' that I got the last 5 times I tried. I did get 1 of the Peace which I liked better. so I'm happy.
What an utter load of hot rubbish. I finally managed to complete my order at 12:26 EDT but that was only after well over 20 "Page not found" errors and, on each of the final 10 or so attempts, having to prove that I was a human twice in a row before being allowed to retry payment phase.
I understand the technologies behind web sites quite well and it takes special talent to create something this bad. It looks like the lousiness is an intentional effort to create some sort of Skinner box.
Got what I wanted. It was easier than expected. I really thought I would come up short on the Peace Dollar with all the hype.
I sure am glad this is done! I just wanted the complete set.
"What we are never changes, but who we are ... never stops changing."
Interesting when I ordered the CC my cc was not charged. Shows order but not charged. Just got a peace dollar and my cc has been charged. That’s quick being as order history is temporarily closed.
My order for the CC is as solid as any. All information is correct showing backorder
Man I can't stand this Mint system.
Was easily able to load both many times.
Each time (20 perhaps) got to confirm order then kicked back or got the stupid human challenge. It is so absurd. I do it then the stupid bar is right back. After several tries got past it. Then, Peace sold out and removed from cart. Then Morgan sold out. Unbelievable.
Ended up only being able to get 3 of the 6 coins (Morgans/Peace) Got 10 O Morgan's and 3 each of the last offering.
Took me until 12:19 to get 2 peace & 2 Morgan dollars. Multiple gateway errors and timeouts.
I was able to order all 6 coins over the past 2 months, but the process was so cumbersome and time-consuming, I'm so glad this is over. I haven't ordered anything from the mint in 15 years until this. I now remember why. Bleh.
Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

This was, by far, the worst Mint experience I've ever had. I had two browsers with two accounts open. (My buddy is out of pocket today, so I was getting a set for him, too) It "only" took about 12 minutes to place the order on my Safari browser. Firefox kept running around in circles: besides the "we're processing your order don't refresh the screen" I'd get another "some kind of web error" message; bad gateway error; are you human? (multiple times) etc. Finally quit Firefox and logged into Safari with the other account and it took another 2-3 minutes and several failures, but around 12:22 I got my second order in (2x 3+3). Hopefully I get everything...

That's the one I got nearly every time I hit place order. I thought for sure one of the tries would work. However, instead of an order number I got this or the stupid human bar each time.

keep trying for a bit. mine took FOREVER but went.
I got 3 of each with a USM confirmation order number. But order history is unavailable. I haven't decided whether to keep or flip some or all of them.
At this rate...I'm going to create an account for my Grandmother and order her 3 each!

I think they are still available because of the errors. This was the worst for me of any issue. Got three of each.

Credit card alerted me that it's been charged, but no order email from the mint. Does this mean I didn't get it, or I got it.?
...if only you had used FireFox's browser...you would have not wasted the 30+ seconds nor had to use Chrome (bonus)
Wait, you used Internet Explorer??

Woof. That stunk.
The last 2 Morgan releases were really easy compared to before. I wonder what they did to circumvent the bots. Other companies should copy LOL
I love Peace Dollars, I got my 3 ordered. 1047xxxx

Went pretty smooth.
Recent silver price crash dilute interest? Not sure... but I thought they would sell out by 9:10.
After holding the prove you are human for 30 minutes I get the remove unavailable items.....both....signed out.
