I got mine. Whole process took a minute and 20 seconds. Got one "Page Unavailable" notice in the process. I don't think this one will sellout "fairly fast" due to the high cost. If it does it will be interesting seeing as how the 2017 American Liberty offering is still available for purchase from the mint after 4 years. I think the 2015 coin was also available from the mint for years. Not sure of their respective mintage limits. Perhaps they were higher.

Picked one up. I find I have more luck with my mobile phone than anything else. No clicking on tractors or boats, no page not found.

Tried several times on my desktop and no luck. Went to the mobile phone and worked first time.

The 2017 Liberty coin was not popular when it was unveiled (some for non-PC reasons). The 2015 coin had a mintage of 50K and if IIRC sold out in a month or 2 (to be fair, the price was also lower at the time). This only has 12,500 mintage and is of an animal instead of a personification of Liberty. I don't know of any other American coin using an animal prominently as its obverse off the top of my head which could add to its value down the line. I think if you're buying this as an "investment", this is a slow burner and not an immediate flip.


That said I bought one and will likely sell my BU gold buffalo to help pay for it since I already have a proof version.

It's currently showing as on Back Order, but the red button is there so you can still order.

Back order means they only made a fraction of the 12500 limit up front?

My mistake did not sell out, still available as back order at 58 min. I had a feeling this one was not popular.

I thought about it but decided to wait for the silver version.

The HHL is at 1. I have a feeling when the HHL gets lifted tomorrow the big boys will buy up the remaining inventory on their own without having to pay the general public.

If you're buying this to keep (and are ok with waiting until November), now is the time since many of the amateur flippers are now likely avoiding this since they can't buy them and immediately flip with the back order to November.

That said, if you were able to order one without it on back order, I would wager one would likely get a premium selling to someone that wants one now instead of waiting until November.

Pinehurst Coins offered $150 to buy it for them earlier this morning. Not sure if that works on the backorder.

You can buy this coin on e-bay for $3,200 to $4,000 Or the mint for $2,715. LOL

As I said, people are paying a premium on ebay to get it now. You're not getting them until November directly from the mint at this point.
