I see this early morning that the Lincoln Chronicles set is still for sale. By these order numbers, we can estimate they have sold over 40,000 already.

They may sell the remaing ones today.

I wish I could buy another one from the U.S. Mint. I tried to buy a second Ultra High Relief before they allowed and they just cancelled one order.

It will be interesting to see what the Lincoln Chronicles start selling for on Ebay.

I did not get interested in buying coins until just recently. If only I had known about the Buffalo Dollar back in 2001! What a nice coin! The price of a good Buffalo Dollar on Ebay is outrageous!

“The order numbers are up to 33192800 ” That’s almost 32,000 higher than my number

I finally got into the U.S. Mint Website around 3:00 Eastern Time. And their system was very sluggish. Their telephone was jammed before that. I could not get in on the telephone.

I got two friends to create accounts and buy one each for me. So I will get three unless my friends decide to keep theirs! The order numbers are up to 33192800 as of 3:20 Eastern Time.

Well, based my first order number at 12:15 and a friends order number at 1:10 it seems like 9000 sold in 1 hour. Give or take any other orders in that time fram for other products. WOW! Blazing sell out happening.

Yes, that’s what I thought! At 12:03, I get “Service Unavailable” from the U.S. Mint Website.

We will bring the server down at the U.S. Mint in the mad rush to get our Lincoln Chronicles Set!
