Do the folks that bought the formative years rolls feel a bit let down by the Mint because of the high availability of the second type over the first? How about the quality issues? I passed on these, because I believe they will be available for years to come. I suppose the error collectors are having a field day with the six fingered Abe’s.

If they offered rolls of the 95% copper, I’d go for that. Hope they can get the spotting issues under control.

Chris,

I placed my order as well. I couldn’t believe it, but I forgot my Mint account password. I basically had to go through the process twice! What can you do but laugh at yourself for the stupidity? 🙂

While really, really slow when a ton of people are ordering, it seems like the Mint has improved the system to where the time-outs at least don’t occur.

I don’t know about you, but I missed out on the first two-roll sets. I had planed to order and just waited too long. I never expected the Mint would stop selling them in less than two weeks. Lesson learned… no more waiting!

Just placed my order with the Mint. Took 2 1/2 hours before catalog was loading, then took nearly 20 minutes after sign in to complete order. WOW!! Was afraid of being auto-logged out. BUT I GOT A CONFIRMATION NUMBER!!!
