I got my order in for one set and recieved the confirmation email. It took
30 minutes on high speed internet. Anyone else have the same luck?

Took me 2 (two) hours. Got to checkout 6 times, which was the charm. I have
DSL, although the mint was very, very slow, I blame AT&T for losing packets.

I also had to keep resending the information, I think ALL the problems were
on the Mints end!

I long ago gave up using my home 'puter for ordering Stuff from
the U. S. Mint on their Special Limited Edition Lottery Days ...
instead, I stopped by the local library on my way to lunch and used
their SuperDuperMegaHighSpeed connection to do the ordering.

Took me about five minutes to order the set ... less time than
it wudda took to render one page at home. My Tax Dollerz At
Work (for a change ...)!

I tried in the morning, but couldn't get the Mint's home page to load,
so I took my chances and waited until the afternoon. I had no problem
placing my order at about 2:30 p.m. PST and received the Min't
confirmation e-mail a couple minutes later. Of course, the real test
will be if my order actually ships or if I'll get another e-mail
informing me my order has been cancelled.

I'm not going to order one. The sets that have value have
unique items in them, like the matte 1997 nickle in the
Coin and Currency sets, things that cannot be obtained
elsewhere.

This set just has an Abe proof commem (max mintage
500,000 proof/mint combined) and four proof cents (all
same as regular proof set).

I don't see much downrange upside.

I got an e-mail from the Mint saying my order shipped yesterday, so I
guess I'm two-thirds of the way there.
