Customer wait times on mint coins addressed

In less than five hours June 13, collectors and the public at large placed sufficient orders to exhaust the maximum authorized mintage of 100,000 Proof 2025-W American Eagle, 250th Anniversary United States Army privy-marked 1-ounce silver dollars,  launched for sale at $105 per coin.

The remaining 90,000 available for the June 13 sales launch were sold within five hours.

“Almost immediately, we became aware of concerns regarding the wait times customers in the waiting room were receiving, with some customers initially receiving estimates of 8 hours to ‘more than a day.’ We also encountered issues with payment processing, which were exacerbated by bots and people trying to avoid the household order limits.

For the waiting room, the Mint is looking for ways we can improve this customer experience. The waiting room looks at current traffic trends when calculating wait times.

    “Silver is the most underpriced hard asset on the planet. While gold protects wealth, silver could build it during the next financial reset.”
