Surprisingly, this didn't sell out immediately and as of this morning,
they are still available.
When I ordered on Monday at noon, the Mint website was SLOW, indicating
to me that there were quite a few souls ordering it.
At any rate, I got my order in and it was shipped the next day.

I had a hard time getting in (and staying in ...), but eventually
ordered five sets around 12:30 Washington time. My order is still shown
as "processing" as of earlier today. I'm surprised that they are still
available today ... I thought that 90,000 sets would sell out within 12
- 18 hours.
The system was a LOT slower than when the March of Dimes sets sold in
March (I got in/out within five minutes that time), but about the same
as the Eisenhower special set a few weeks ago (by the time I got to the
"confirm order" screen, the sets were "no longer available", about
twenty minutes into the ordering period ...).
