About 30 seconds before noon eastern it suddenly became real
unresponsive. I just want to order my Lincoln Commemorative :-(

Looks like everyone else does too ...


I just successfully placed my order for 3 units. The Feb. 28 ship
date shown on the coin item description shifted to April 1 on the
order sheet. (So is April Fool's Day a subtle hint that they don't
know when it actually will go out the door?)

The fine print on the order still reflects a 30-day return policy, not
the new 7-day window. Oversights like this open them to demands that
the Mint honor the 30-day policy that showed as part of the terms and
conditions of the transaction regardless of any policy declarations
elsewhere on the website.


They are the government. Why would they feel it is necessary to honor
the wrong terms? They make and enforce the rules so who can you
complain to?
