Why is a no mintage limit and no product limit item unavailable after one day? Not to mention the cluster bang it was yesterday trying to get them.

Many happy BST transactions

    answer based in fact : I dont know

    answer based in speculation : they're actually minting millions of these and not posting that huge limit artificially generates demand for a not-incredibly-limited coin

    How fast did they become unavailable and were any available this morning ?

    Perhaps they ran out of packaged coins and have to prepare more 🤷‍♂️

    My experience was a 25 minute wait at noon. I got on earlier than that time estimate but rolls were sold out, but a couple minutes later they were back and I ordered a set.

    A friend got 3 bags pretty easily just after noon.

    5846 Philadelphia bags, 5792 Denver bags and 9861 roll sets. Rolls gone in 10 minutes and bags about 15-18 minutes. There was nothing returned to inventory this morning and no reports of anyone getting any today.

    is there any benefit to leaving the bags sealed? i saw in another thread that most people could care less if it's sealed.

    If you're interested in resale value then they absolutely need to remain sealed. If you want to search them for high grades and errors then you'd need to open them.

    Went in for 2 roll sets, logged out. 10 mins later, decided to go back and see if they'd sold out, and they hadn't, so I went in and grabbed 1 bag of each, Didn't have a wait room for the second login, logged in at 11:49, the wait room disappeared bat noon sharp. Shows orders have shipped. I only go with 2-3 day shipping, do not trust the USPS one bit, I avoid them if at all possible, damn the extra $ for shipping, and I still get the ship discount, so that softens the blow. It was super smooth for me, sorry for the OP's issues.

    I was talking about the Constitution quarters, sorry for the mixup. The Gettysburg are the last to go. So, besides my error in the actual item, everything else I wrote was correct and about the same item the OP was talking about. Sorry for my confused state (I love that I live in a legalized state...lol).

    I'll come up with something.

    If we're talking about the Gettysburg address quarters that went live yesterday, that had to be the easiest and smoothest purchase of any of the Semi-Q halves, quarters, and dimes.

    Constitution, not Gettysburg address as I wrote in title.

    Just because they don't have a limit doesn't mean they will sell an infinite number of them. They simply have no current supply. They are also under no obligation to make anymore available.
