So I tried to order the CC and O privy Morgans,.....
from the US mint website. Started at 12 noon sharp, DSL speed of 4.6 meg, a straight half hour of "gateway timeout" freezes. When it finally loaded a page, it said sold out for both. So, I will do without. I am NOT going to pay a shyster on ebay, 3, 4 hundred dollars for one. Nope.

Re: So I tried to order the CC and O privy Morgans,.....
I was disappointed the first 10 tries; I waited about 20 minutes and tried again, got both!!
Maybe this is vindication from my negative experience from the last time the site went down

@Paul
I had the same problem here Paul. I was able to get the coins into my bag with no problem. Every time I tried to check out I got a Gateway error, I tried for over 30 minutes and every time I clicked Confirm order it would time out. The last time I went to check out it told me they were no logger available, and I am in South Central PA, 2 hours from the mint.

Re: So I tried to order the CC and O privy Morgans,.....
They must still be upgrading the system
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. I was told it was a computer glitch that would be taken care of by next (2012) year.
Slooooooow computer technicians!

Re: So I tried to order the CC and O privy Morgans,.....
I was just curious,....... recognizing that DSL speed was so low...
That may have been the issue there?
I'm running at 100 meg

Re: So I tried to order the CC and O privy Morgans,.....
Your DSL speed is low. You should contact your provider an try to get a faster speed. I managed somehow to get 8 of the CC's I only wanted two. When the site said confirm order it said 8 and I didn't want to try and change it so I got the 8. I'm probably going to have some splaining to do, but Oh well. 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.

It's not that, it's using up all the bandwidth at the US Mint servers and it causes a denial of service or DoS Attack.

Re: So I tried to order the CC and O privy Morgans,.....
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.cbtengr1 wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 9:59 am Your DSL speed is low.

Re: So I tried to order the CC and O privy Morgans,.....
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.

Re: So I tried to order the CC and O privy Morgans,.....
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.

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.Earle42 wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 7:48 am They must still be upgrading the system

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.
