Mint now shows unavailable for the Congrats set. Might just be me since I reached the order limit?

I just got the shipping confirmation e-mail for my two West Point proofs. Not for the Congrats - yet.

I was hoping to get the Congratulations Set for its intended purpose, since I have family expecting their first child this year. But despite logging on to the website over an hour in advance and steadily keeping the pace, I ended up with a ridiculous wait time and missed out.  Scalpers are shameful. |

I finally got in on my phone only to find that it was sold out. It's really odd that I tried my phone way after being put in the waiting room on my PC. The wait time on my phone was way less, but not less enough. Congratulations to those who got them. Middle finger to the flippers and the mint for allowing such exploitation. I guess I'll wait a year or so for the price to get back to reality.

Still 5 minutes wait time.
Honestly feel like I got screwed on this one. Was online an hour early to avoid this situation.
Oh well, luck of the draw and mea culpa for not getting the subscription lined up in time.

This morning I got an email from Pinehurst Coins offering $285 for the Congratulations coin. I got on US Mint site about 15 minutes before 11. I did not refresh the page, just waited. About 3 minutes after 11 I got in, got one of the dual dates and one of the Congrats with order number. Guess I was lucky. I wasn't planning on getting the Congrats but since they'll have a better chance at holding their value, might as well.
Supposedly people wait in line according to when they started on the Mint's site. I don't know. Maybe some of it is related to how good/fast a person's internet speed is.

I logged on 10 minutes ahead and got a wait time of an hour. Ugh.

Logged into Mint around 11:00. Got sent to the virtual waiting room a couple times and eventually let in shortly after noon. Purchased both the 2026-W and 2026-P Eagles; got sale confirmation and done by 12:15. Overall a smooth experiencing to purchase both coins.

So after 30+ years of mint purchases I was shut out on the 2026 "p" ASE. this only happened one other time with a 2017 s coin. |

This makes no sense
I was logged in at 9am, my screen never refreshed to the vitual wait room at noon so I refreshed after about a 1 minute wait
I had a a 58 minute wait that eventually let me in around 12:20 but I got the "out of stock" page.
But people were posting that they were getting in and buying the coins after I had the out of stock page?
Not sure of what I did wrong or what I need to do in the future

Since I missed out on this I just went to ebay and bought an NGC PF-69 from Pinehurst for $249 shipped I want this coin for my slab collection so it's not that bad of a deal It would have cost me about $50 to get it graded. I'm glad that this was to only coin that I had to do this for this year, the rest are on subscription |
