If I would have got the V75 Gold, I would have graded it, and sold it so I could get some classic higher grade $1 coins trade and before. At some point I want a Heraldic Eagle at least a 30 or higher.


I can't remember who, but someone on the forum was able to get one. I think he had it graded at 70 and was saving it for his son IIRC.

That'd be one of those I'd love to keep, but the money would probably be too tempting to pass up.

To the post, I think this iteration of the waiting room was much better. Maybe there wasn't as much hype this time that helped, but it was a much less stressful experience.
I would like to see how it handles a high traffic event though, something like the 2019-S ERP.

I also had that gold set in my bag - then all the errors of the site kicked in and ruined my chance of getting one (I barely managed to get the silver ASE.)

There are 2 I can think of that I will have to use this new wait room - for the 2.5 ounce Military medal and the LESPS


The Liberty Medal release on August 10 would use this waiting room queue set up ?

and
UNK for the LESPS

That would be my assumption.

I'm sure it will. I took the day off work, I'm assuming you'll be trying to get that one, too?

Well not exactly that, but who gets in first and get the coin and who will miss out.

I will try to get one. I consider the Liberty medal series part of my commem collection. I hope I don't get shut out. Will be in the "waiting room" with many others, I'm certain.

Good luck to all with landing an order.

Please let us know how it goes. I don't need to use that waiting room because of my subscriptions, but the up-coming LESPS release in November, I'll be stuck in it.

Will do. I have subscriptions for those also. My curiosity is all about seeing what to expect for tomorrow's Liberty Medal release. I have no experience ordering an item from the USM on an "opening day of sale." Hope you're feeling better
