I placed an order for the Louisa Adams uncirculated gold coin on Thursday at 6:23am PDST (way before the noon E.S.T deadline I thought). The U.S.Mint website allowed me to order this coin and made no mention on the website that the coin was going to be discontinued.
When I received the web sale confirmation, I was surprised to see the statement, “This item is no longer available.”
I followed up with a phone call to the U.S. Mint and was advised that the coin “has sold out.” When I told her that the website permitted me to do make the purchase, all she said was, “Oh.”
How do ya’ like that?!
