****Official American Eagle 2021 Silver Reverse Proof Two-Coin Set Designer Edition Order Thread****

It's likely the US Mint is being DDOS'ed here to provide certain groups more of an opportunity to get orders in than others, for what it is worth. There have been many hyped releases and none have been this bad excepting the last one that was almost as bad as this, and there was a hacker group that stated they put out a DDOS on the mint's site for that release.

Bet this is the same exact thing.

I keep getting the "Prove you're human" page. Except there's no mechanism to actually do that. It's just a text page. No CAPTCHA or anything.

And I get "An unhandled error has occurred. Error No: 000-03" EVERY time I try to place the order

And it keeps resetting the shopping cart: "What's your address? What's your payment method?" kind of stuff

Worst experience yet but got one

One Hour Seven Minutes. What a joke that site is...

I finally got one to go through on my ipad. My computer kept stalling, but the ipad got me there. USM115322xx.

Sincere frustration. I had really thought from my last couple of purchases they fixed the website. Looks like the bots are mutating, just like viruses.

Keep trying to y’all! My bro just got one set.

I missed that one. Where did you read about a hacker group taking responsibility? Can you share a link? Not doubting, just interested.

Finally got an order through at 1:05. By far my worst experience with the Mint's website! Countless error messages - Bad Gateway, Handshake Failed, Web Server Down. I got to confirming an order 3 times, and then got the Web Server Down message, and had to start over.

67 minutes using both laptop and phone. Laptop confirmed first. What a PITA.

Still open at 1:12pm

Got 1 at 1:12 PM!!!!

Once again, just proving how random results can be, this was the easiest and smoothest ordering experience I have had all year long. Yeah, there was the crash at 1 minute, but that affected everyone. When the system came up again a few minutes later, I went straight to my bag, completed checkout and was done in under a minute. I was shut out of 4 of the 5 Morgans (did get the 10 CCs, though!)

As of this post there's still about 68,000 of these available, check the page html.

Didn't realize that was available there. Nice trick. Thanks!

It’s happening I got one. 1:14est. Hurry

51,000ish... ddos attack is over and they're going fast.

For everyone who claims this is the worst web experience ever, don't kid yourself. The U.S. Mint always sucks on new limited product offerings.

A press release with an apology from the Mint Director will be forthcoming later this week, explaining they're doing everything they can to address the issues.

But it will be just as bad on the next hot offering and every one after that as well.

Unreal, worst mint experience ever, gold 75th wasn't even this bad! But....got 2! Thank you baby Jesus!!

45k left

Took forever, but finally got what I wanted. Now how long til a sellout? The site is so slow it's barely letting any orders go through.

43,550. Gotta pay for those DDOS attacks by the hour, I guess.

Confirmed email purchase from the Mint, finally got through checkout at 10:05 after 30-40 attempts.

Did the order have a ship date? I never saw one🤔
