Well here's an odd state of affairs. Are they keeping it to 100k?

Ok, here's my story. First I have a young friend at my job (I work at this bus company working on buses in the shop, but I drove for them for decades, about 27 years I think. The young friend is the general managers son, I've known him his whole life). Anyways, so he is my backup. If everything goes well, I'll have 2. 2 is better than none. My experience: I went in the website maybe 15 minutes or less ahead of time. It was giving me the minutes to the drop time. About 2 minutes ahead of that, the screen changed to "verifying you are human", but went back to the wait screen. It got to 11 (central), and within a minute, took me directly to the laser privy page. I put one in my basket and proceeded to check out. I thought I was done! Even to the point you have to click the box agreeing to the terms and conditions. After that, it says there was a problem with my payment method? This is the card I usually use, unless it's a big payment (like gold). So I switched to this other card on file (the one I use for expensive coins). Then I get the message my HHOL has been exceeded!? I know others have had this happen. I tried once more, same thing. Checked email for a receipt, in case it went through, nothing. Checked my orders on the mint page, nothing. Decided to call the mint to see if they could straighten this out. Has to call 3 times, the first two times I got a busy signal. So I'm waiting on the phone and decided to try more times to order, since I wasn't getting booted off the site yet. So I think I tried maybe 3 more times to order it. Finally, an attempt did work! For the order number emailed, it's in my account as "processing". I just hung up the phone. So I got one, and my friend from with actually texted me when I was in fits over what was going on. So I knew I was getting at least the one. I don't even know what I'm doing with it. I think the next 2 I'll just be getting my one of each of those.

Logged in about 10 minutes before the hour. Completed the purchase with confirmation email about 13 minutes after the hour.
Never got asked if I was human, which could be good, or bad.

Quote: How are you accessing that info ? From the mint website ? From another coin forum ? The comment linked here explains it https://www.coinnews.net/2025/03/27...mment-556084Basically there's a link you copy/paste and at the end, enter the product number and it'll take you to the source code of the product page. Look up the number next to ats which tells you how many are "available to sell". P.S. There's now 23,266 as of this post.

Quote: Are these going to ship soon? Since they went to processing, I'm guessing so (doesn't say "backorder" in your order status). If you go to the site right now (haven't checked today), it made it sound like they are out of them but making more. So I think right now they'll let you order, but they WILL be a back order. But if you ordered during the initial release, your should be good.

Quote: 21,730 available to sell. . .this morning I am beginning to think the Mint actually has these drop days figured out. There are still glitches, which I experienced personally yesterday. But I think the average collector is having no problem from bots or resellers nabbing them all and keeping collectors like us from relying on businesses to have the lions share, and selling them to us for 2 to 10 times over the Mint price. What would be interesting to know, is what the 2019S ERP release would have been like under these circumstances, or even the latest fiasco I can think of, the CC and O privy mark Morgan release in 2021. With order limit 10!
