I picked mine up from the gift shop today. Saw Director Hollis again. He’s got nice new card with an emerging dime in it. He had a trump coin but I couldn’t get a picture.
Very nice! Was there a "waiting room" ?? haha
lol no waiting room. Just about 10-15 of us “regulars”
available for a few seconds, but > @cheezhed said:

Very nice! I was shutout on line. Questions about the gift shop, do they always have new releases on release day? Do they put them out at noon? How many do they normally have? Could I go today and get an enhanced or call there to check? Thank you!
No waiting room for me today, but screen froze for about a minute (while the Bots did their thing)
Did not see Silver Bells, then tried for this one -
ATS I saw for this one was 4,273 but of course I couldn't get any because screen froze, then they were gone

I was trying to refresh my wish list at 7:30 to see if anything was available that I have been following and only the Enhanced silver came up, but that was after 60 seconds of frozen screen, trying to load.
Without glass they all look 70. With glass I say I have 3 70s and 4 69's. 69'S due to teeny tiny struck thru dot in field 2 obv, 2 rev.
I am happy, 7 for 7.
$1,203 well spent with overnight travel by Noon.
Superior cost savings to AS SEEN ON TV purchase options !!!
Had HHL 10 then like 6 / 7 weeks ago USMINT unsubscribed me & only on this product. I immediately noticed that as I check every day.
So I added back one at a time. Likely every day since I tried to return to HHL 10 but system never let me return to HHL 10

They have have most releases. This year they’ve had everything but the Liberty bells. They normally have enough to go around. I just went in again this morning and picked up 4 more.
With the constant bot bombardment, is there even a point in trying to order these in the morning? Even if one adds them to their cart, their bag is immediately emptied somehow.

You have to up your game.
It's the high tech equivalent of buying concert tickets back in the day. If you wanted the best tickets (or tickets at all) you had to camp out in front of the ticket office. The more popular the concert, the earlier you had to get there. I'm sure people complained that they weren't able to camp out or didn't want to camp out or wait in line, but that was how it was done.
This is really no different. To be competitive it's clear that you have to have digital assistance. The game has changed.

How about an email bombardment campaign to Hollis citing the 'bot' invasion!

mint hq people order their own stuff and run the counter and more. call in advance to see if they are going to have whatever issue. the flippers pay people to buy the max at the sales shops. they begin sales at 12 just like online. for the hq, their space is cramped, so the waiting room is outside on the sidewalk. because of paid flippers, go very, very early in the morning for hot items

They are aware, as evidenced by the daily order purges. If they don't fix it, it's because they don't want to expend the resources to do so. They could also just not create frenzies like this, and then there won't be a problem.

IMO this issue checks all the boxes for value.
Congrats to those that bought the subs.
I'm curious, why this over the lower mintage Congratulations ASE? Is it the dual date? I cut back my subs on this one, as I still have a bunch of the Congrats, thinking they would be a thing.

Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
I received my subscriptions today and I’m quite pleased. Coins and unique finish are excellent, packaging is in a nice leather box. The mint stepped up nicely on this issue.
In contrast my BOM coins were packed in plastic, coins had some flaws - overall disappointing.

Agree. Something has to be done otherwise this is over.
If it's over - just boycott modern mint products and the bot buyers have nowhere to go with their prouct.

There's been a couple minute wait at 7:30 in the waiting room thanks to the Silver Liberty bell and now this one.
Ditto!
Went for the Silver Bell first, didn't flip.
Then went to Enhanced ASE and got 5 in bag but couldn't checkout.
No waiting room for me today.

waited 2 minutes, then 20 then, "unavailable". That was horrible. Someone here will be selling 2 that I wanted.

Mine is on the way, should have it Monday.

i subbed for 10
My 2 sub orders were shipped on Tuesday.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
I received my subscriptions today and I’m quite pleased. Coins and unique finish are excellent, packaging is in a nice leather box. The mint stepped up nicely on this issue.
In contrast my BOM coins were packed in plastic, coins had some flaws - overall disappointing.
Got my sub of 10 and I must say the Mint did a fine job.
7 looked great.
2 had minor frost breaks.
1 had a small capsule imperfection.
0 need returning.
What's a small capsule imperfection? Is it on the coin itself?
It would be on the capsule... the plastic coin holder
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
Yes. I got a cracked (missing a piece as well) plastic capsule on a proof Eagle last year.
Haven’t seen this on a Saturday morning before. Is the Enhanced silver Eagle what people are slamming the site for?
I don't know. Mine started at 1 minute, went up to 1 hour.....than changed to the helpful "soon" and now back to 1 hour.

"Coin collecting for outcasts..."
I was able to pick one up.
Agree. Something has to be done otherwise this is over.
If it's over - just boycott modern mint products and the bot buyers have nowhere to go with their prouct.
It’s now 7:45 and I went back and still have 45 minutes to wait.
Whatever was there is now gone.
Without question! Haven’t seen this type of waiting room on a Saturday
finally got past the waiting room after a 25 min wait and the coin was unavailable
Just prepping the web site for Best of the Mint 4
Good Lord, let’s hope not! 🤣
Got 3 orders of 5.
1 minute waiting room.
They were up for a few minutes, Over 220 orders placed using my order #s.
.
Must have been a decent number of them available. Congrats on getting some of them.
