I'm just trying to check the USMint website about something else, but apparently today's release has me in a 40 minute waiting room. It's been 10 minutes, and it's down to a 30 minute wait, so it's not bluffing. They need a way for people to browse the website info and account info without shopping. edit: the timer reset to another 30 minutes after 40 minutes, lol. Edited by Corbe

I hit the website at 11:55 and it immediately went to over 1 hour wait... looks like I won't be getting these... likely sold out already.

I never got out of the waiting room just to look at the website something unrelated, something like a 95 minute wait lol. I'll check later today.

I got on the site at 1151 and waited for 1200. at start time my timer jumped up to 29 minutes. I was thinking that I would not get this last one. At 1215 I was let in and I managed to get one in my bag went to checkout, and my bag was empty!, I went back and put another in my bag - same ting happened again, On the third attempt I got it in my bag and managed to check out and get one - my purchase time was at 1215. I then checked the 'ATS" for this product and found that only 4 were left. So I just got very lucky.
But I got my confirmation email.

thanks but this was a tough one this time. when I saw my wait time at more than 15 minutes, I had started looking on ebay for them - one seller already had 1 confirmed for sale so I flagged it. |

I was in wait until about 20 after the hour. Put 2 sets in my basket. Went to log in and it removed it from the checkout after I logged in. Tried three times again, but sold out.

that really stinks that you didn't get these quarters. I think that I was right at the cusp of not getting them as well. Quote:

I think that the mint will have more to sell in the coming days I think that because the site has the "Remine Me" feature activated. |

@Dearborn I'm sure a few may pop up early mornings, from the usual cancelations etc, but I doubt there will be any quantity. All of the prior quarters, except The Revolutionary War, show 'remind me' and there have been few, if any, become available. The Revolutionary War quarter is curiously missing from the schedule entirely when I search.
