Another stellar performance by everyone's favorite punching bag, U.S. Mint

Anyone try to get it today? I did, and while it took 13 minutes of refreshes, sealed the deal.

site is kicking me out, 23 minutes in, still in cart, payment info removed again so every time i try and put CC info back in it knocks me off, they can keep it i quit!!

Edit: okay so i gave it one more try and it went through plus i noticed that the Paypal button was back so i used it and Bingo!

 

Not worth the price to me.

 

I got all the way to have my CC charged and refunded, twice! I was able to get back to the screen to hit the "place order" two more times. After the last time, I relogged into the mint site and got back in to see the remove from bag screen. Getting closer, maybe next time...LOL. I don't want to win them all, but 1 would be nice... .

 

I skipped this. I’d bet the majority of the buyers were newbie flippers. Gonna get stung as EBays flooded with them and likely no buyers

 

Happily I got one after 21 minutes of frustrating "page loading problems", refreshes, retries and impatient waiting. This apparently happens whenever there's a very high demand. I think the 20,000 mintage may have been an attraction (who knows if there will be more?). I love the design.

 

Maybe I would have been a buyer for a silver coin. But, no. Logged in at 2:30 EST today just to check the status of my order from last week (they charged my card but it's still . . . "processing") and found that their POS site was still screening my login with Cloudfire or whatever that BS is called. Wondered WTH, and then remembered today's sale. So I checked for fun . . . all sold out. Hope those who wanted 'em got 'em!

 

That's why I wanted one. I really love the design. And my husband is a WWII nut. Not sure I'm going to give it to him, but at least we got one.

 

Passed. No stress and happy for it.

 

Glad you got one!

It is more blessed to give than to receive.

You should give it to your husband.

 

I'm sure he would appreciate your vote for him

 

I was able to get one also ...I just had to try it took about 15 minutes and wound up using PayPal with no problem... it turns out I had the wrong expiration date for my CC

 

Get what?

 

The WW II medal I think

 

I can't believe how many are already posted on Ebay (but then again, really no surprise!) ... I think something a lot of people have failed to notice is this...

• These products will include a limited quantity of hand signed Certificates of Authenticity (COA) by the Director of the Mint.

To some small degree, I have to believe the ones with a hand signed COA will be slightly more valuable (or at least flip for more) than one without. Some sellers on Ebay will be doing themselves a disservice and leaving some monies on the table. Onward ho to the lucky buyers!

 

They issued a 1/2 ounce coin with a different design. I swung and missed last week, so was happy to get it today.

 

After my bad experience last week with the V75 Eagles I was not going to go through another hour of Capcha Boat/Car/Boat/Car and being locked out, "Banned", Credit Card info not there, etc etc etc that was more than enough for me for a long time. Don't know if I will ever try for anything popular ever again. I really wanted the V75 because it was an Eagle and a WWII Eagle. But a medal? I'm sure there will be other mints making a WWII Anniversary Medal for much cheaper. The design is mediocre at best, nothing artistic about it. And I'm glad I didn't waste an hour of my time for nothing today.

 

The gold 1/2 ounce is a coin, the silver yesterday was a medal.

 

You're right. My mistake.

 

I'm honesty surprised there was a frenzy for this one. WW2 is always hugely popular but that design is pretty meh
