[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 3873382, member: 105098"]I understand your disappointment but it was limited to 30, 000 and there's just no way to guarantee everyone that wanted one would get one unless making it unlimited or making it a mintage where it winds up worth less than you paid for it. I watched this from 2 months ago when it first popped up on the Mint website and kept my eye on the buzz about it. It was written up in every forum on coins in all the online magazines, on youtube, literally the buzz was high and adding to that the dealers offering $50-$100-$150+ above cost for people to order them for them and sell it to them.. then I'm sure the home shopping channels ran their own angles, I prepared the best I could and was wait in 15 mins early for it to open up for sale and I almost didn't get one and faced the same problems everyone else did. I just got lucky and instead of waiting on the reload screens I opted to open new windows and bring up the cart over and over trying to complete until it went through. Everything about this told me it was going to sell out quick and their website wasn't going to be able to handle the traffic on this offering. Sorry to those that didn't get one. They were on sale again this morning for a minute or two at 7:30AM EST from either bad addresses, declined cards, or a stock miscount of what was sold, not sure the reason, but that's the time to still have a shot at one for the next few days at mint prices. There won't be many, a few hundred at a time at best until it completely sells out but I'd expect this to happen for the next couple days like it always does. It's worth a shot if you have the time to get a cup of coffee and fire up the computer and see at 7:30 if they have some left still the next couple days. They are going to go quick, a lot of people know about this 7:30 thing.[/QUOTE]
