  7. They're nice but I was never initially interested in this 3 coin series. Shoulda been silver!

  9. I don't do moderns. I never buy anything from the mint.

    More than compensated by the extra $30 "price gouging" premium (compared to the already-pricey backordered $175 AGE 1/10 oz).

    If you believe the internet pre-sale chatter, a sell-out is practically guaranteed -- maybe in the first few hours (if the site doesn't crash).

    Yeah I just found it interesting. Never claimed to feel sorry for them. Lol
    I'm going to get my order in right away. Don't know what to believe but I'm not going to risk waiting until this evening to place an order.

    I'm going to hold off for an hour and see what my order # is just out of curiosity. If it looks like they're going fast might put in another order.

    ....meh, its crashed anyway! Lol

    Guys, x out the last few numbers, not the first ones. That shows us how many thousands have been ordered, not how many 10's or hundreds. For example, my first order was 41164xx, and my second order was 41173xx

    I just submitted mine at 12:30 EST. 041370xx. Looks to have went through.

    You have to wonder if they're adjusting HH limits already.
