Well, in the fun and excitement of another US Mint product release day a lot of us CT'ers have gotten our orders placed for the LN6 sets following the usual test of technology and human patience on the computer, as well as facing the greater community of collectors via the US Mint ordering process. In the first hour the Chronicles threads on CT lit up with venting and congratulatory fervor. At least 25 members posted successes, by my quick count, in the first hour of sales. I believe those of us are: krispy (me), Jerms, green18, Nolawyer, leoq, Tater, NMBSURFER1, khris777, Argento, TennLee, zekeguzz, elaine 1970, bobbeth87, puckhead, evilxsharky, Sholom, detltu, rugrats2001, CoinOKC, halcyon, JDS, drorchid, Conder101, jcuve, PennyGuy... I'd be interested to see how many of the 20,000+ CT members pull in a LN6 set ordered directly from the US Mint before (and IF) they sell out as assumed they will by forums/media/blogging before they went on sale. Add your name and number of sets to this thread and lets see how much of the mintage of the LN6 CT members take away. And if you have the ability to get multiples, because you have so many 'households' and credit cards to order with or enlist friends and family assistance in doing so, put your name and total sets brought in. Please don't include the any sets you are buying from non-Mint sources. This is just a bit of fun to see what sort of numbers we might come up with in the first few days till the sets sell out. Have fun!
khris777: 1 set If it dosent sell out i might get the girlfriend to order me one more...im too worn out to ask anyone today.
I got 2..My orders about 1 hr 15 minutes apart. If the order numbers are in order, 1 hr 15 mins from my first order they sold another 15,200 sets. These should sell out by tonight.
Probably are in sequence, but they may not all be for this set. I have my order in for 1 - at least I think so.
Congrats. On my first order I wasn't sure it went through then I got the email confirmation which was a nice warm fuzzy.
