    That's actually more than enough to get them to come out. With associated CC cash or points, it's worth it for 10 minutes work.

    I'm on the site - no waiting room at the moment. My cell phone, however, is in the waiting room. LOL

    Yeah, this multiple release of the Soccer coins and the Best Of series at the same time...was probably not the best in planning...unless they wanted to stress their web purchase system on purpose!

    Damn the buyers waiting! LOL

    The web purchase system will not be stressed. The waiting room meters the admits so there is no overload. I also doubt the FIFA medals are creating much traffic with nearly unlimited mintages.

    in and done. The 6 minute wait ended up being less than 3 minutes.

    My laptop got kicked into the waiting room at noon, which I sort of expected. I tried to kick myself into the waiting room at 11:50 but it wouldn't let me in. LOL. I'm still at 16 minutes there. I will leave it open and see what happens.

    I actually have no interest in the Merc, but I do like the silver medal. I may have to flip the set and buy the medal separately.

    I managed to get an order in at 12:03 PM. It went relatively easily for me but the web site did do something very annoying. I had logged in to my account hours before the coin went on sale so that I could place the coin in my cart and immediately check out. I was still logged on when I refreshed my browser at 11: 50 AM or so which was when I first saw the waiting line.

    Once it was my turn, though, the web site had logged me out and asked me to log in again when I was ready to check out. My user name is not an e-mail address so it took me a minute or so to figure out that there is a separate link to log on for people whose user names are not their e-mail addresses. If I had somehow failed to complete the order, I would have immediately quit the rest of this series.

    Open another Browswer (Edge, Chrome, Safari, your phone, whatever...)

    Log In again and purchase that way. I had to do that on one account....meanwhile, my phone is still telling me I have a 12 min wait...yet, I already checked out on another computer.

    Didn’t know how that would go, as I don’t shop at the mint much. My last purchase from them was a proof set in 2019. The waiting room was smoother than I expected. In and out within 2 minutes of release.
