2021 Reverse Proof Set

It took me until 1:04 of constant errors, refreshing, etc., but I was able to get a set.

Same happened to me. Set in cart at 12:03 and over an hour to pay for it! Pathetic!!

 

You're wrong!! As a retired IT guy, I say that an excellent IT manager can prevent these things from happening. Other web sites with extremely high traffic don't have this problem.

 

I agree.

 

So are these shipping right away or will they ship at a later date?

 

You just proved the point. “Other websites with extremely high traffic….”. The mints website does not have extremely high traffic ever except a couple of hours a year.

 

I signed in about 2:13P because my dog had to go to the Vet. But I was pleasantly surprised. I got in immediately and went directly to the Payment site and then the confirmation site. All within 5 minutes. I'm not sure what happened, but it was a nice way to buy at the Mint.

 

I got a set in my cart on the second try, then spent 45 minutes trying to get through check out. Finally got through checkout and spent 25 minutes awaiting confirmation. Got several messages indicating the server had crashed, but apparently that didn't eliminate what was in my cart. Perseverance finally paid off. Total time about 1:15.

 

Do I ever LIKE that, esp the reverse...best eagle rendering since the Walking Liberty reverse and maybe the 07-33 dbl eagles. Wish they'd do a silver version...50c or $1

 

And those sites have extremely high traffic all the time, so they have paid for the infrastructure to handle it. You don't pay for infrastructure like that if it is just going to sit idle 99% of the time. You would normally pay for the site to be able to handle several times your average load. Then when it get hit with say 1000 times the average load you get what is happening with the mint site.

There are no hackers in the US???
And the Mint does sell outside the US. So they wouldn't block all non-US IP.

 

Not to mention just how stupid it is to think that a simple IP block would stop hackers.

 

One thing to also mention is that if the mints site worked like Amazon or Walmart and could handle the traffic perfectly products like these would be sold out in SECONDS.

 

Just received my set today ...

Sorry for the crappy pictures.

 

Man, that felt they come in sure does shed, doesn't it? They look great, congratulations!

Can't wait to get mine... still processing.

 

Mine says it has shipped, but the postal service is still waiting for the hand-off......

 

Mine too!
