    I'm hoping to pick one up.

    In the event I miss out I already put some lunar stuff in the cart to dull the pain.

    Good luck.

    This coin is sold on the numismatic website and not the bullion one, don't think you can have an order combining bullion and numis

    Would be interested to see how long it will take before this coin sells out. Even with the restriction.

    Yes, 2am.

    My last 3 attempts at getting these mid-nite released usually entertained with the website crashing.

    Might give it a shot tonight...will try to synchro it with mi mid-sleep toilet routine. Lol

    Is there any valid reason why they don't do the online releases at a more normal hour, like 8pm?

    I imagine the logistics of such a thing would be immense [/endsarcasm] but it would make life a whole lot easier for their Aus customers

    Maybe it's better for them to deal with the rush of orders during a night shift?

    at any rate...
    - log in before 2am
    - keep refreshing the latest release page from 2am
    - pay via paypal (instant payment and they send paypal orders quicker than any other from my experience).

    Is there a URL to the specific page on the Perth Mint site?

    The weak will go to sleep at 10pm. Only the strongest will make it to 2am on a work day. Survival of the fittest.

    would be interested to see how long before the price on the secondary market starts to drop..... there is always hype for the first coin in any series and then.....

    The link is appreciated.
