Ok, So who got one?
My order is confirmed, working on another one as I type this...
You would think the US mint would have better servers then this.

Why would the mint invest in servers? This set will sell out! So, just make the people ping it every so often and it works better and saves US (tax payers!) a few bucks!
I would change a lot about the mint, upgrading their servers wouldn't be on of the things :) And I'm an Internet type guy. I just know that more servers doesn't make them more money since their products and buyers handle themselves. |

While the site is loading hit "Alt and F4" at the same time, this will load it faster :)

But try this link, I saved it yesterday, very slow yes, but I go in at least.

You think this price will hold?

I am also reading contradicting stories about the mint mark, some think P mint some S mint. Would the government create a modern rarity by making these S mint?
WOuld the government put a proof set together with multiple mints in it? They don't believe in symetry? |

davis, being that you're not numismatically challenged... Are these going to be S mint or do you think P mint?
Long term these sets could be a great investment is S mint no? |

| I think they will be P mint b/c of the others. I have heard they would be S mint but i just dont know. I could see the price staying high if S mint. That would mean only 50,000 made! But i am going to guess P mint |
