If there is someone out there that got some O's but no CC's I'm willing to do an even trade for two of them, I'll pay shipping to you if you pay shipping to me.
That may not be the problem. I will tell you my computer problem and you can decide if it is the same or different. I have 200meg service but I top out at 20meg. The problem is a slow internal network adapter and a slow router. You can get a USB network adapter that is ac capable not just n or even worse g. Your router must be the same also. I think the lowest available is AC600. But you might get something north of AC1000 for those days ahead when we see those speeds. I have looked at new laptops and you must be careful that it has the proper AC internal adapter. Just b/c it's new doesn't mean it has the best internet speeds. If you are using a desktop, you could just swap network cards on the motherboard. You would still need an AC router. I hope you get your coins next time you are trying. And all those letter I have been writing will be following 802.11a/b/g/n/ac. If it doesn't have all the letters, don't worry as long as it has ac, ax would work also but the equipment seems pricey.

Holy cow, what service do you have? I think 400meg is available for Spectrum near St Louis but for businesses. Maybe other speeds are available. If I just had true 200meg, I would be ecstatic. I am going to the nearest MicroCenter for the needed parts ASAP. Glad someone clued me in.

Hey everybody, hope all is well. "All You Can Do Is Try", work on getting the best internet speed you can, I have 400 mbps Spectrum. But in reality the mint servers are not designed for high volume. How can I know this as a "fact", you may ask? Because when I execute a futures trade, even in a fast moving market, I never timeout, refresh, requote etc. I am in NC, and execute on the CME.

Of course I execute on my brokers platform so that make a difference, but the bottom line is, "good" brokers servers are built for speed and volume, the mint, well it is the mint. So if you can't get these coins don't feel bad, it may not be you or your internet service but the mint's servers. It is what it is.

Oops, edit, I have yet to be able to get any of these first releases, of course I don't have the patience to sit and refresh, re login, etc for 2 hours either. 😃😃😃

I was assured many times over through many customer service calls back in 2011 (Wow - just realized that is 10 years ago) that they were upgrading the computer system so that they could handle ALL incoming orders when they had sales like this.

2011 was the year I ordered some of the 25th Anniversary ASE sets. I had a completed order for 5 sets, had screenshots to prove it, had verbal confirmation of the order by a rep (I called since I had not gotten the confirmation email and...never got the sets Carton déménagement double cannelure. I was told it was a computer glitch that would be taken care of by next (2012) year.

Slooooooow computer technicians!
Don't blame them because they have a lot to do, but they'll contact you I think. It's always like that with the big brands.

You can have the fastest download and upload speed and the best computer money will buy, but it doesn't matter when it comes to visiting a site like the US Mint. They do not have the infrastructure to handle the amount of traffic these releases cause.
