Nov 5th 2020 75th Anniversary Gold Silver Coins

My ASE has shipped. Considering I got it in 6 minutes I should have tried for gold :)

Just got my shipping notice as well. Was a bit surprised since it took me 31 min to complete the purchase.

Hi Eagle4Life, would love to hear what you end up doing with your gold proof. I also get an AGE from the release, and I'm speculating value will increase past the $10k it's going for on ebay right now. Will you be grading yours?

I got a gold in my cart this morning, but it sold out when I tried to remove a silver that was somehow added as well.

My lessons learned.

1. Don't place an order with your cell phone. Use the fastest and most reliable internet connection possible.

2. Prior to sale, ensure your account is current (contact and payment information).

3. Prior to the sale, memorize your user name and password.

4. Prior to the sale, log in to the US Mint website with your account credentials.

5. Prior to the sale, add and remove items to your bag. Take steps to enter the checkout page with items in your bag. Go as far as possible before actually placing the order (or place an order).

6. Minutes before the sale, be on the US Mint website and sit on the item's webpage. As soon as the start time has begun, do a page refresh and add the item to your bag and proceed to checkout.

I failed at number 1, 2, 3, and 4. Number 5 is to ensure your IP address is known by the US Mint.

However, I was successful in number 6. My password and payment information was not current. After two attempts at checkout, the item was sold out.

I did a screen shot of my phone on the second attempt to checkout.

If I was prepared (sitting in my home office and not on the side of the road), my account and payment information updated/current, I would have been successful in purchasing one.

I found out that it was easier to open the next step to the checkout process in a new tab. So add to cart, then click checkout to open in a new tab. That way if you ever got kicked out you can retry to open the link in a few tabs and maybe one of them would correctly. Then the other issue was that you would complete the purchase and it would timeout and go back to the beginning of the checkout. I found out the best way to push thru this issue would be to have 4 tabs going thru the checkout process and keep them processing until one finally pushes thru and you get a confirmation.

Not sure if its the best way but I was able to get one for myself and for a family member as well.

I have no idea. Got to get it in the mail first. I've been watching ebay prices though. Curious why you think it will go past $10K? I have never graded anything myself, just bought stuff already graded, so probably not. Is there a downside to keeping stuff in Mint capsules?
