The Mint's web site is a Disgrace, If this is Progress, We deserve Much Better!!!!  My subscriptions arena says, You have No Subscriptions!!!! My order History shows the orders under " My Subscriptions " are in Process!!!! The simple fact people that have been ordering on line for Decades are having inexcusable, Frustrating problems ordering. During that June 13th release, I thought I was ordering from a New Mint, They did NOT recognize any of my info, The asked for me to sign up to order, !!!!!!!!!  Especially during a very anticipated release, It's not acceptable.They are seeking all the customers they can muster up, Forgetting Those of Us that Have been ordering for Decades.  They just seem to be taking Two steps backwards, For every One going forward..... This is Not rocket science, Although they Really Leave Much to desire going Forward !!

My reaction is much different. The only real "off" thing on 6/13/25 was how the wait time started out as over a day, then gradually worked it's way down to a reasonable time. I looked at my emails, I had my confirmation at exactly 30 minutes after the drop time. So maybe 25 minutes to get my order in. I got gutsy and after adding it to my cart, decided to log in to my account (the Mint should set it up so you can log in before you're let in from the virtual waiting room. But it went fine, I have my free shipping. My beef with the Mint is this sell out, then it's not a sell out. I can see cancelling some orders where they identify shenanigans on the HHOL, and end up with more to sell. But not this where it's been "add to the bag" for around a week now. My neighbor ordered a second one for me, now I'm wondering if it was really worth the cost and effort. This started out as a hot item. Is it? Maybe I works have been better off getting a second Uncirculated!

This is the same mint that can't figure out how to get two different products ordered on the same day into the same box. We literally pay for the incompetence.
What I don't understand is why they even did a presale if they were going to set a mintage limit. With a mintage limit, why not just mint them and put them on sale? It seems to me that presale would be appropriate if they were going to allow people to order however many they want during a certain time period. Once the order period expires, they could then mint the amount ordered.

I had the same experience so I ordered as a guest. Once my order ships I'll contact them to see if they'll add that order to my previous orders (a decades-long list, as you mentioned), but until it's in my hands I don't want to risk messing something up and getting my ordered canceled.

I'm a little confused as to how more are now available for order, but they were not available earlier this summer. I was assuming at the initial release the coins sold out. Mintage hasn't changed, so I guess they just didn't put all up for sale at the onset?

Sales figure through Jul13 - 96,776. I guess that gives everyone an idea how much interest there has been as those who really wanted one for their collection will have bought one by now (& perhaps another one just in case).

That makes me think that a 100k mintage limit is spot on.

Creative Numismatists ,  In All the years ordering, I do NOT believe I have seen a product handled, released, or treated like The 250th Anniversary Army ASE. Why would the Mints keep the HHL to 1, Keeping the product available for Over a Month after June 13th, Under those conditions. I Like this, If they stop @ 100,000......................  Minting to " order " Done Correctly, Although 100,000 is Not a small number, Thoughts?

Just orderd one this a.m. debit billed and email confirmation. Entirely missed the June 13th action but looks like no sweat being late to party. Old Willy's unshaven smiling WWII mugg wearing steel pot would have been a dynamite privy.
