Was anyone successful?

 

Went through cart and placed order 4 times but nothing confirmed 😬

I think I was since I got an "Order Acknowledgment" email from them.

Whelp, now I've been completely blocked....  For trying to refresh the page a whopping 10 times over 25 minutes.... 

 

Yeah I got that too, load up an incognito tab. 

Try turning on a VPN as well if you can.

[g33x0r]

Well it's an IP block, I'll have to try my VPN.  

[g33x0r]

Interesting, they somehow saw or linked my VPN IP to my other IP and it's listed as blocked now too.... *sigh* incognito won't work as this is an IP ban, it's based off of the IP address regardless of what your browser is or isn't tracking.  

[EMartini]

Damn that's annoying.

What about using mobile data on your phone?

That will be a different IP

I have never ... ever seen a site as bad as this for load balancing..... what a crock

I keep getting to adding item in bag...then it crashes

Tried that too, after the captcha couldn't ever get anything but an "Oops... somethign went wrong" screen....

Yeah I had that a lot but keep trying and eventually it works.

I'm selling mine btw so if not you can make me an offer

[g33x0r]

Tried calling their phone numbers and can't get through their either....  I'm honestly burned from ever purchasing another ASE or US Mint product ever after this.... lower premiums on foreign coins any ways....

[CadmiumGreen]

After 40 minutes of continuously, what felt on the verge of DDOSing the US Mint website, finally added an ASE to cart and successfully checked out with confirmation email. Still F’ing p!$$ed about the AGE!

[g33x0r]

Was able to get the silver one in the cart after using VPN to go through Vancouver BC, and then it crapped out again.  45 minutes of trying, I'm done, I have to do some work any ways lol.  US Mint, never again....

Yeah I don't know how anybody could've gotten their hands on the AGE but at least you got the ASE

I was sooo close, in cart and going final before the complete spiral ensued.

Yeah it's a terrible website, always crashes when they want to release a new coin.

Are you still trying to secure one?

[Calzehbhoy]

Yeah, I had the popup on screen with the 'Don't refresh or click back' showing for both the AGE & ASE when the site crashed, was already dancing around the room thinking I had them both

[EMartini]

The question is whether or not to get it graded

lol no.... not after this.  There are 1,000,000 other coins and series I enjoy and will continue to collect.  Just not this

[CadmiumGreen]

I took a day off for this aggravation. I now need a stiff drink.

Fair enough mate

Heck yeah! I am with you on that...not getting the AGE opens up on other opportunities!

[CadmiumGreen]

...and forgive me, but this kind of thing definitely didn’t help matters...

I finally got an order confirmation. Always frustrating ordering like this. Now I hope they ship and this wasn't all for nothing.

 

EDIT: Got the order acknowledgement not a confirmation. I'm waiting for the bad news now. 

[g33x0r]

Oh look guys, I got a text about this new product that I set a reminder for only 1 hour and 46 minutes after it went up for sale(I'm on West Coast time) and it's now sold out....  Are they trying to troll their customers....?  Cuz they're doin' a great job so far lol.

I got banned because the captcha page lagged out and I hit refresh.
