What do you think the "odd pattern of purchases" was?
Those excessively large orders? That were later confirmed in in-your-face mint postings that do not make fraud, audit and management happy campers?
Problem now is the mint is restricting orders, but not giving folks the actual restrictions, except in the case of the NA's which were quickly hit with excessively large orders.
How can we sufficiently change the economy if we can't get sufficient change from the mint? The American public voted for presidential change not witholding presidential change.

The program became limited due to the diligence of the Mint, not to any complaints or any evidence of large orders.
The upshot is, in order to 'buy presidential dollar coins with CC @ face value, free shipping' you (now) need to buy in quantities that are suggested by the mint, or have a valid reason for exceeding those limits.
