    I got one...and my sister in law got one!

    I still prefer 37 minutes of hell instead of an instantaneous 5 minute sellout where you didn't have a chance!

    Complete nightmare! Both CCs were hit and received order acknowledgment emails from mint.

    Are they actually still available 43 minutes in? If so, I'm beyond shocked!

    I can't get back in to look.

    Got mine at 11:13 CDT. The website crashing, errors, etc we’re all expected. I never saw the Are You Human or any captchas. But what in the world is a Handshake error?!

    The Mint's website is always the worst with popular new product offerings. Expect apologies tomorrow.

    Yes, they are STILL available. I'd be shocked, but this was by far the worst experience I've ever seen. The reason they are available is that nobody can actually succeed in checking out.

    Crashing non-stop from Noon until now. FYI a "500" error (I've been getting 504 errors) means that your browser is pinging the web server and getting no response at all.

    At EVERY step, it was crashing on me. I had to type in my credit card 4-5 times, even though it's the credit card saved on the account. I guess that's the same as everyone else. Eventually I got through, but this is much worse than the Morgans or other ASE's that I've ordered this year.

    You don’t have to enter CC each time if saved. It will EVENTUALLY auto fill. I always wait for auto fill I don’t want to confuse a computer.

    48 minutes of misery - at one point it was telling me that I was not a human, the website must've picked up something that thought I was a bot. I must've circled around about 8 times in the credit card area before I got an order through.

    What makes this an awesome set? How is it any different than the 2011, 2012 and 2013 sets? This set should be sold as soon as possible before the perceived value of the set nose dives. If you want a set for your collection wait a year or two and buy one then.

    The main difference is that this is the "Designer Edition" and features the old AND new reverse designs.

    @djm
    I guess this one just hits a sweet spot for me. I love the look of reverse proofs, and I like the side by side of the T1 and T2. I've been collecting OGP silver eagles for a while, so this was a set I've been excited about for a long time. I make to claims about future value, just a set I want to own.

    If you didn't get a confirmation email you should check your spam folder. Apparently I got through at 12:12 p.m. but kept trying until 12:38 because after I hit place order the website kept crashing. Then I thought after 3 seperate place order attempts....what the hell...maybe I should check my spam folder🤣😂

    Unbelievable 🙄

    Holy cow, this was the worst ever. What a way to close out perhaps my last dealing ever with the U.S. Mint. After an unbelievable number of web site failures, I finally managed to complete an order at 12:52 PM Eastern time. I was ready to give up at around 12:30 PM but then I realized that the household limit was one for this offering so I estimated that the ordering window would likely be open for about an hour.

    I should add that the U.S. Mint seems to use Cloudflare for load balancing or something and not all parts of the country have equal access to the ordering process. I suspect those that managed to complete an order very early live in a large metropolitan area on the East coast.

    My Order Number is: USM11511xxx

    The only reason this is still available an hour in is the website itself. (Yeah I know, I’m the King of the obvious)

    I probably wasnt the first to get one but the difference is 43k meaning they might have quite a few still available.

    I got mine shortly after it recovered from the first major server crash

    So... I'll be excited to hear about how the Mint spins the "upgrades" to their site for this one. This one seemed to have everything, captcha airplanes (check), prove you are a human (check), html errors (check), full website crash (check), long availability (check), worst experience ever (check).....
