I spent over an hour on the Mint site trying to get the order processed.

Then I realized that I was not "signed in" (i have an account) So I signed in and wha-La I got my order processed almost immediately!

Maybe just coincidence? I don't know. But that's what happen today.

I am please to have my order in.

Thanks for the reminder. I went ahead and ordered 5 rolls to flip and had zero problems or wait online.

 

I chose the expedited shipping to get them quicker hoping to get an edge on the competition. It has gone up, it seems at $17.95.

I logged on at 1:30 and it took about 30 minutes to run through the process w/ a account. Just received my e-mail and it says 6/13 ship date - of course not set in stone...

I called at 10:58 Texas time, went straight in. Was on hold for about a minute and a lady answered. When I told her what I wanted she said I was the first one to order those from her that day.

 

Order number 31677***

 

5 sets of course.

I had 2 browser windows open. On one I was signed in and the other I was not. Took over 30 min because it signed me out after 30 min. I signed back in and waited another 10 min before I was able to move to the next screen. About and hour here also.

I am not much for flipping, but this time I bought additional sets so that I could sell a couple on a price spike should it occur.

 

What I really want to do is open a roll a scour for any coins that may be worthy of certifying. :think:

Gee... I went to the Mint's kiosk at Union Station in Washington, DC with a friend and picked up 12 shotgun rolls of the new Lincoln Cents for face value. After, we went to a restaurant in the station before resuming my day. I had no problems! :devil:

I was driving through Utah at the time, but I had my mom order for me under my account. I forgot to tell her about the wait times, though, and she said it took 45 minutes. Order #31684*** and I got the order receipt at 12:45PM EDT. I only ordered 2 of the last one, but like all of you, I had my mom order 5 of this one for me for flipping potential.

I got 2 in for sure. Tried the other 3. Wasn't able to get any of the first ones. I know they're backordered already, and soon these are hopefully gonna go through the same schbeal the other went through.

Got in after about half hour. Hmm how did I beat any of you in the states ? I'm in Australia ! the person with the biggest fattest internet connection, closest in hops to the mints server, should win :P but how could someone halfway across the world beat any of you to the order page ? cheap ISP ?

 

Not sold out yet either.. did they up the mintage I wonder

I know the back-order date on new orders has changed again to 07/29. Mine still show 5/29. I hope they sell out soon.

They are limited to the same number of sets, according to the mint blog. I think that should work in all our favor (for early orders) and drive the price up to make a shiny dollar or two hundred...

Order number :censored:

Mine order number is :censored: . Expected ship date is 5/29.

Hey folks... considering the fiasco of the cancellations that happened during the UHR ordering, I would highly advise not post order numbers, even if obfuscated! The more information you give the better the opportunity for problems.

 

You would not post this information on a sign that is on your front lawn, why do it here!

I'm not sure but I think they fixed that problem. That was why the online order tracking was offline for several weeks. (Of course that could be the mints idea of a "fix")

Hey, Scotty. :hi:

 

It would take a thousand guesses to get our actual order number right. Plus, it would give us an idea of the number of orders placed. There were at least 20,000 orders placed until I made my order 2 hours after sells began.

 

You lost me at how a partial order number could affect our transaction. (shrug) What happened with the UHR cancellations? Since I didn't order one, I never followed the thread.

 

Thanks for the info.

From what I understood Vic, people were posting order numbers and others would then call the mint and cancel the order. Something like that.

Man I just checked the Mints site and my order went from 5/29 to 7/15 for shipping. How can they release and item for sale and then not ship for 2 months. Rediculous!!!

I ordered by phone... is there any way for me to check the delivery date? I was very early, I hope my date hasn't changed, that would be upsetting.

The bastardos did the same thing to me! It said 5/29 yesterday! I'm glad that I don't deal with the mint much anymore since I stopped collecting proof sets, etc.

 

And that was totally jacked that people would cancel other's orders for the UHR!
