    Got the same, shows in online banking. Tried again now and successfully placed an order with email confirmation received. I'm assuming the first one didn't go through.

    Just let it work it’s way through. I did try the refresh route initially but that seemed to hang me.
    Once I got on to the site on my successful attempt I just let it work it’s way through on completed order eventually.
    Although I won’t be happy til I actually receive my order given the circumstances!!!

    When you get to the order page and the disc spins, it takes a while before it goes to the check out page so better to wait rather than refresh

    Notice I Due to high level of demand, we are experiencing some technical difficulties with the www.collectorcoins.ie website this morning. We are working to resolve these issues as soon as possible. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    This is on the central bank site

    I ordered twice and one says processing but the other says pending. Looks like the confirmation of payment didn't communicate back to the Central Bank. I doubt they will manually match them so probably only one of my orders went through.

    Even though it says sold out, keep an eye on it over the next few hours and days in case they become available again, just in case all the problems people had with incomplete and possible duplicate orders might have clogged the system up in some way and had resulted in a false “sold out”.
    It’s a long shot I know, but .....

    Most of the ones I've bought over the years have been christening presents for family members born in that particular year. The Luke Kelly one will be the only one I've expressly wanted for myself. If I miss out next year I'll go bananas.

    Someone posted one on Adverts already

    https://www.adverts.ie/coins/phil-lynott-coins/19341944

    Withdrawn and the seller also said "Didn’t realise there would be such interest - coins not being delivered until next week.

    Will keep everyone posted on here."

    Wonder will it be back up next week for €300 :rolleyes:

    I have still not received an email and the transaction is still pending in online banking. I've just submitted a message to them and they can't process it right now, will get back to me ASAP.

    I reckon people have put multiple orders through, hence all the pending ones.


    How are people supposed to know that their order has gone through when they get a message telling them to "check with the merchant"


    The message said "Your transaction has been successful but there was a problem connecting back to the merchants web site (to me this means it hasn't been successful). Please contact the merchant and advise them that you received this error message"


    I take from that the order didn't go through


    How many others?

    I got the same after putting in one order, but it looks to me like it will be OK since they said anyone that got that message will have their order processed when the technical issue is dealt with. I submitted a message to them and it said it will be dealt with as soon as they can.
    Edit to add, the query will be dealt with, that is.

    The error sounds to me like our payment was successful (which it was) but they couldn't relay that back to the merchant.

    I'm sure they have a way of confirming but they'll probably have to manually match payments with orders. I have an order number for the pending order and payment was taken.

    People might have kept putting orders through though, multiple orders, they might also not want more than one coin so I'd say some will go back on sale?

    Yeah, I agree with that. Not sure if you can cancel an order or if they'll contact people to see if they want to go ahead.

    Nothing as yet, the only communication I have has is an email to say the order was successful and will be processed when the technical difficulties are sorted. The money that was pending has now been taken so hopefully won't be too long before arrival.
