I don't know how, but I have the proof in my shopping cart... got that far somehow.. but they ain't answering the phone!!! can't get to the webpage to order the uncirc now...
I use "tabs" and i refreshed many different pages on each coin until one loaded then I hit my checkout now from a different page. (1 session across many different windows/tabs)
I hope they aren't sold out.......they are not shipped for a while the 24th or something..Maybe thats why they say backordered....
26279114 @12:04 It looks like I will be one of the first ones to get mine so that means do I sell on ebay for $800 or $900 each or do I hang on to them. A few dealers have been speculating that this is the next Jackie Robinson or 1995 Silver Eagle W and prices could reach $2000 or $3000 by the end of the year, so it will be a tough call take the quick double or go for the big money.
I have #[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']26284454 completed and checked out. took 20 minutes. My basket said I only had uncirc and I thought I wasn't gonna get the proof, but when I went to checkout they were both there!!![/FONT]
If your browser times out after hitting "add item" you may have the item anyway. Go back to the catalog and look in the upper right corner. It will tell you what's in your basket. I also encountered a script error when I hit the "Continue checking out" button and had to go back. Eventually got it through. It took me until 12:32pm to check out after getting on at 12:00:01pm.
That was about the same for me, had time outs so tried again and ended up with two of of the proofs in basket. Had to update basket to remove one and that took even longer. Wow - 37 minutes to select a couple items and go through quick checkout option.
At 12:40 ET I finally got confirmation back, I thought my high speed was good, but I was wrong. Order number 26285783 on back order for both coins. What a joke I have high speed and it still took forty minutes to order and confirm. Do you think order by phone any better?

No, you can not get through on phone. I was trying the entire time based on how poor the internet was. The phone option is hopeless. If you do not have a high speed connection - IMO - you are not likely to get through. Maybe as time goes by the traffic will taper off and you will be able to refresh screens with a dial-up connection?
