    Did anyone email Mr. Hollis about the waiting room/bot issue? It would be pretty easy for him to see for himself. Is he aware?

    I got a 5 minute wait at 7:15 this morning, but the 5 minutes was actually 10, as I got into my account at 7:25. Overall the times are improving, so perhaps the BOTs have realized that the silver liberty bell is never coming back? 😜

    Either that or there's a hot shoe out there. Lol.

    Now, back to trying to decide what to do with my 220 orders for Mint sets. Lol.

    Ah yes…..I do remember your post about going all in on those. I wish I had a magical answer for you, but I’m 100% sure you’ll do well no matter what path you go down there, and I certainly wish you the best!

    As I expected, the price has weakened a bit. $180 instead of $190. But there are 3 weeks to go...

    I did have a dealer lock me in at $150 for 10 of them, so I'm certainly getting some. I just don't know if i need it want that many since they will arrive when my students do. Lol

    Ugh….Back to school! With the current scarcity of new products on the Mint site for Fall, maybe having those sets will be a blessing. Collectors won’t have anything more to save up for and may go back to finalizing sets and grabbing something like this that that couldn’t get or passed up on? 220 may be a tall order to move.

    Back to the subject at hand (so we don’t get called out for drifting away) the wait time yesterday wasnt terrible, and I did see the uncirculated sets ATB.

    Will do, but didn't request a response, just a bringing to your attention type email. Hopefully I do get a response or better yet, just responds here. That would be neat.

    You can still add them on subs, I just added one to check, now up to 6 not sure how many to get, but the current data page just now shows:
    "inStockDate": "Thu Nov 05 2026",
    "availabilityStatus": "IN_STOCK",
    "isPreOrder": false,
    "isBackOrder": false,
    "ats": 94676,

    No idea how accurate that date will be and if the ats is what is left or if they are still making them and adding to the total.

    Subs? Subs should be 2027 sets. The 2026 sets are not available.

    This ^^^. You can't add to a current year product sub after the date of release, no matter how many are or are not ATS. Subs only process once, 5 days before release.

    These are the clad proof set, so if it is anything other than 2026, it must be 2025.
    2027 is still a distant dream for the clad sets, I understand the silver proof set and mint set is already rolled over to 2027.

    You responded to my comments on the Mint Set, hence the confusion. I'm not sure how we would know you were talking about the clad proof sets.

    Sorry about that, thought you were talking proof sets coming up soon, mint sets are in my rear view mirror already. Those numbers and the date are all from the clad proof, wondering if early Nov sounds right.

    I think the waiting room system is terrible. Also even if you get in and make your purchase many times you get backordered because they don’t have the coins on hand to ship out. And that’s not right.

    Probably. Hard to say how backed up they are. Could push the schedule around. It could also result in short mintages late in the year.

    Yeah, I just had some shirts backordered by Walmart. I'm thinking of filing a lawsuit.
