Multiple tries, after 18 minutes of bad gateway, or an error occurred, or this page is no longer available, I got an order number for an order of one of each.

Got an O but missed the CC. Had both in cart, but it didn't work while the CC was still available.

Took me about 10 minutes to get 2 each of the CC and O in one order. About 2-3 mins to get them in the cart. Hard part was checking out since it didn't want to pull up my saved Visa card, had to manually type it in several times (since the site would crash). Then got to click submit order and got "page could not be found" so refreshed that and got an order confirmation.
Not as bad as the V75 and 2019 ERP, but these always elevate my blood pressure.

I could never get checked out and now it is telling me the CC item is no longer available. Looks like I am done here - gonna give up on the entire series at this point, will find a better way to spend my money than at the mint. 0/10 US Mint Ouch.  I am sure all these dealers will have them for sale soon with a nice markup for you.  |

I don't know if my order went through, or if I got 2 New Orleans, or 2 New Orleans and 2 Carson City, or 2 CC and 4 New Orleans. I kept getting the errors but twice I got as far as confirming my order only to get a response "Bad Gateway". What a mess.

I did get a text confirmation of my tracking. Still no idea if I actually got an order or not. Strangest experience at the mint so far. I hope the dealers lose their shirt on this one.

I had a card already stored but it wouldn't let me use it for some reason so I had to keep manually entering the card until if finally went through. I couldn't use my PayPal account, either. I think the real trouble is with the billing system, not the actual website cart. I got the two items into the cart quickly, but was only able to complete the purchase (one of each) after 20 minutes of entering and re-entering my CC number manually. Received the confirmation email immediately therafter. Getting the 2019S ERP Eagle was easier than this experience. I'm beginning to think that the Mint should give up running the retail side of things and work only through distributors - we can buy them a lot easier from the speculators. And, if everyone is chasing a deal, it may be worth it in the long run. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

Something that helps calm my nerves is that I get an immediate email and text message from my card issuer alerting a "card not present" purchase. This lets me know the Mint got what I submitted even if I do not get immediate confirmation on screen.

I think I got an O. I got an order acknowledgement email for that one. At one point I thought I had 3 CCs and an O. It got to the screen that told me not to hit back or refresh. I think it froze at that point.
Thanks for the suggestion to manually enter the card number. When I did that, I got my O since the CC was sold out.
Mint also gets a 0/10 from me. I would love to say I will not order anything else from the mint, but will go through this mess again next week.
