See? With 25K, and the waiting room slowing down the bots, they are actually attainable! Looks like the sell out will be closer to 30 minutes than 2!!!

It was "tough" but half the mintage is still available? LOL
I was a little worried there for a minute. BUT, good fortune kicked in and I went from a 12 minute wait to onto my wish list. I guess I was a little dramatic there. LOL! Glad to get one

This was surprisingly easy. I guess the remaining coins in this set should be even easier to get as they should be quite a bit more expensive.

it'll depend on mintages. the EU 1oz AGE went fast.

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.

Similar issue - I was in the waiting room prior to 'noon' but when it approached, nothing, must have timed out. Logged back in, 21 minutes. Ugh! Went by rather quickly - got to order, log in, didn't recognize the email I've used for over a decade. Had to reset, log back in,...surely I'd be kicked out. Nope, still in the game, got one, although backlogged. I began ay 20 minutes prior and finished 20 minutes after.
This sucked, very stressful. I had multiple devices and browsers going,. No waiting room then waiting room 1 minute, then 29, 5, 22. Thought I missed out, but got one about 12 minutes in. Then added another to bag just for fun, no problem. Went back in again and got waiting room again.
11:40 - linked to BoM 1916 page, waited to get into waiting room.
11:43 - got into waiting room, but like others mentioned, it only gives you 10 mins. Boo.
11:53 - initial waiting room timed out, back into waiting for waiting room. Boo.
12:12 - got in to waiting room, add to bag, order placed. Yay!
Snagged it!!
Logged in too early, had to get out. Then tried to log back in at 9AM (12PM Eastern), waited a few minutes, but got one of the backordered ones. No problem, I can wait until September.
This has lasted much longer than I figured it would. The Mint "may" have done a good job holding off the bots, OR the backorder warning is turning people off from making the commitment for September.
I can/could have bought is one but only interested in the medal. See one set sold today for 1100 on ebay. Mail & fees not worth $100 +- profit for me. Perhaps can get the medal separately later on secondary market

"This product is currently on back order and is estimated to ship on Thu Sep 03 2026." Now the ones being sold here at the end are on backorder
That's the last 10K @nurmaler was telling us about. And this is the way they should be sold, as opposed to holding them back for a 7:30 a.m. drop with no HHL and no notice to the public.
when people use 2 or 3 accounts to get coins like this, are they using 2 or 3 credit cards with different names/billing addresses on them, along with multiple shipping addresses? are they using a PO Box system? can someone explain further?
Some of the flippers on eBay are now asking 1K and below it. Short term will be interesting to see if that holds up or down with the still unknown actual number of backorders.

After eBay fee, there is not much profit, which is worthy for handling and shipping time as well as potential eBay scammers.
Perfectly understand the USM being "careful" about how much product is produced and ready for Day1. However, they will quickly learn that even with these high demand products most dont want to wait 3-4 months for a backordered product to be delivered.

I got in pretty easily. The wait time ended up being shorter than the estimate (as others here had also reported)
Yep. USM22533XXX
Now says 7617, availability status now says "Backorder" with in stock date of September 3rd.
We will see what the final processing states.
Boom...we win.
Totally depends on the mintages.

Got two. Took awhile but I’m happy.
it'll depend on mintages. the EU 1oz AGE went fast.

Just got one. The Mercury Dime looks like it will have full bands, unlike the 2016 gold one. The medal looks way cool!

2 min wait room turned into less than 1 minute - got one in cart with no problems
i stopped flipping. congrats to all

well, the buyer's club probably aren't going to want a b/o coin. they need adv release, fdoi and fs

how do you tell its on BO? still showing availble.

Add it to cart and you'll see the message saying it's estimated to ship on Sept. 3.
All 3 orders confirmed!
Woot woot
ATS?

.
Agreed!
Surprisingly, despite the mushy features, the 10-year-old 2016 Centennial gold dime currently sells on ebay for a nice premium.
So I think that bodes well for today's 1916 gold dime's long-term value -- especially given its much lower mintage.

This looks not hot! That’s ok, I break even when gold hits $8100. I wanted the medal and I got one for a steep price!
Red Button is lit !
Happy Shopping !
Put one allowed in cart, "backordered due to ship September 3rd"
1883 left. People are interested in a backorder it seems.
Yep, one buyer already reached out and said, "if you're on BackOrder - Not Interested - go ahead and cancel your order".

I guess too many of us have enough backorders still sitting already. I cancelled my quarter bags and sets
Still available at 1:35 pm. All that stress for nothing…..and the start of a new five coin gold set begins….😩😂

Same CC, different shipping address worked for me. (Same billing address though)

No, not for nothing. To avoid backorder.
