Due to an extraordinarily high volume of BOT interference during the initial pre-order for the 2021 Morgan and Peace Dollars, the mint was forced to pause the pre-order window. These BOTs were programmed to buy these coins in bulk and keep them out of the hands of consumers in the hopes of making a quick profit off real collectors.

In response, the Mint paused pre-orders temporarily until they could come up with a solution to eliminating BOT interference. Now that they have a fix for the problem, the Mint is prepared to announce new release dates for these Morgan and Peace Dollars, and several other coins.

In addition to this, and to need the extremely high market demand, the Mint has INCREASED the household order limit for the new American Gold and Silver Eagles as well as the Morgan and Peace silver dollars. They are doing this to try and minimize BOT traffic and guarantee access to as many people as possible. Even this may not completely satisfy demand due to a limited supply of silver available to the U.S. Mint as they produce these coins.

See below for the revised launch dates for these coins. Particularly of note, the Gold and Silver American Eagles launch dates are now ahead of the Morgan and Peace Dollar pre-order windows. This is because the Morgan and Peace Dollars will not be available for shipment until October of this year.
