    This was quicker than the Peace Dollars; only 3 error messages on the final step before it worked on the 4th try.

    I'm amazed how much faster it is to check out with google chrome and internet explorer. learning that trick is what just got me these coins.

    Per my above post, I have the exact opposite issue. ALWAYS get the stupid prove your a human with Chrome that I can never get out of.

    No matter how much I get hosed thank Gd that I got a V45 gold (that graded 70). That makes up for SO much bad luck with the rest.

    First time ever getting skunked from the mint. 3 in the cart within a second or two of the button going live. Through the payment process probably 20 times before it finally came back sold out.
    Good for everyone who got them, especially those who need them for their collections.

    I think a LOT of these sold in enrollments for the actual sale to end so fast.

    I tried several times to get 3 to grade but it kept bombing out on final review, and then when I saw backordered Oct 15th ship date, I quit trying. Starting to lose interest in this continual fight, and will just get a 70 when they show up.

    Time to go out in the yard and take care of a couple pocket gophers that are in my garden for some stress relief.

    I was experiencing exactly the same issue. I finally used my phone and was able to check out after 4 more attempts. The whole process feels very random, no specific technique...

    Raufus...just for Mint orders...but for nothing else...I would try to turn off any security programs you might be running.

    And then after ordering, turn them back on.

    I suspect something on your system is triggering an additional security check EVERY TIME.

    PS...in system SETTINGS, I would also clean out my system cache and cookies.

    Getting ridiculous. Couldn't buy the 2021 P Morgan or the 2021 Peace dollar on Tuesday. Now couldn't buy the 2021 S Proof ASE despite being on time and having 3 in my "cart." When it says it's in your "cart", it should stay there until checkout is complete. If having a coin in your cart doesn't mean you can actually purchase it, then perhaps the mint should continue to clean up their website and not let a coin go into a buyer's cart unless they can actually buy it.

    Had it in my cart. I could have pulled the trigger, but I have the P Morgan sitting in there and chose not to remove it, so I might be able to get it tomorrow. I have the W ASE, so I'm good with that.

    Got one in the cart and made it through order screen quickly but got 2 "page not found" errors. Third time worked.

    200,000 product limit, so how many other products will there be?

    OMG. WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF????????????

    I had my desktop with superfast internet and my phone. Tried on all three rotating from one to the next. It was easy to add them to the cart. Got to processing literally 20 some times. Each time page not found. Finally, after 11 min got my order for 3 in.

    One thing I found is that on Chrome I get the prove your human thing after I hit submit. I do the stupid thing, get the check mark that I'm human only for the challenge to happen again. WHY is this computer guys and gals???? Once you prove your human why does it just ask again????

    I got my order in via IE.

    This sucks. I'm so sick of it. But, I can't help myself....

    I tried Microsoft Edge this time. No human proof, but I still got check out errors about a dozen times. I started to switch to my phone app and after about 4 times getting to the final step, it suddenly went through.

    Don’t miss the reverse proof 2 coin set on the 24th. Probably will make today look easy.

    Well those are 1 per household so it actually might be a little easier, at least I hope.

    Why would it be any easier? You have the same number of people trying to cram through the same number of orders at the same time.

    You would simply have been unable to get 3 in your cart in the first place. You're just moving the bottleneck. There were probably somewhere between 750,000 and 1 million coins in carts.
