@hfjacinto @Reno32 @Big-Kingdom
Like you all, I got a text at 9:08 as well (that I didn't actually read until about 9:30). Missed it too. That's the second time this month I've been teased with a sub-$100 one of these that I couldn't actually get. Ugh...

I really thought I had one today.  |

I too got the text and thought to check this morning but forgot. Anybody check or actually get one? Odd that 9 months later status is still "currently unavailable"?

The Mint put out a statement: Quote:
"Due to high demand for the American Eagle 2019 One Ounce Silver Enhanced Reverse Proof Coin (product 19XE), the United States Mint wanted to ensure that all sellable inventory was made available to the public for sale. A total of 97 units recently became available due to order cancellations. As transactions were cancelled, the product was inventoried and inspected per Mint standard processes.
Today the Mint was working to move the inventory in our system to prepare it for sale. During that process, an error was made and the product was made available for sale via the Mint's website and immediately sold out. All 97 coins were sold this morning. Our 'Remind Me' features automatically activated and we notified 43,127 people via SMS, and 30,907 people via email about the availability of this product. We expect another small number of units to become available for sale in the coming days. They will be placed on the Mint's website as they become available." |

Interesting. Who woulda thought that after nine months there's still a chance for those who missed out the first time.

I'm more surprised that 97 orders were cancelled. Could that many people have been oblivious to this coins value?

Some could have fully understood the coin's value, but their credit cards were declined for various reasons. Other orders could have been cancelled due to people violating the household limit rules.

Remember this coin was also heavily promoted so you had a lot of flippers buying just to sell. Not everyone had good credit or correct addresses. Basically this was a free for all.

Does anyone know if the household limit still applies?

TheInfinityPoint, its worse than household limits. If you have ordered the coin before your order will be rejected. So that is one per account/household.
So I guess you could just sign up a family member or make a second account though and get it shipped to a different address.
