US Mint 2016 24k Gold Coins To Celebrate 1916 Designs

Took me 12 minutes to get my order of 10 in. There's heavy initial demand, lets see if it lasts throughout the day. In theory 12,500 orders could push it to a sell out. A sell out is completely feasible on these, given the final mintages on the 2009 UHR and the gold Kennedy half. The lower price compared to the gold Slq and Walking liberty, and the gold commemoratives will help it too.

I crashed and burned about 10 times (with one total log-out and re login) and finally got through at 11:10 central.

Vault Wholesale was offering $500 for a box of 10 and they pay the shipping too. That offer was quickly reduced to $250 for 10.

On backorder, now.

I think this is just the first batch. I can hardly imagine they sold ALL coins that quickly. No way Jose...

Remember the HoF Baseball coins? They were gone quickly only to become dead wood later on...
I think about 70% are in the hand of flippers.

Just for comparison, there were only 50k of the baseball gold coins which was split across both unc and proof issues. This is 125k coins for just one coin. Okay, this costs less than half of what the baseball coins did cost.
Just look how many ebay sellers there are who are already undercutting each other.
No, thanks.

I was going to order 2 but with all of the negative talk here I figured it would be a flop as well and only ordered one. My plan was if it was a flop in 3 months ebay should be flooded with slabbed MS69's for below the Mint's issue price unless gold goes way up.

If the coin has truly sold out then that means that a lot of them did go to flippers and the market should be saturated with slabbed ones shortly and the prices driven down.

Just look at the baseball coins now. When the first shipment went out prices were 2 or 3 or 4 times over issue. Now you can get raw gold ones for almost issue price and slabbed dollars and halves for under issue price.
