US Mint 2016 24k Gold Coins To Celebrate 1916 Designs

Just got mine ordered! $207.95 delivered with the $10 off expedited shipping.

jack jeckel, the mint updated the 1 piece HH limit to include previous purchases so that anyone who already ordered one or more would not be eligible to buy today. FYI to everyone buying today, my order # is USM047927XX.

The Order History page is messed up (probably deliberate because searches slow the site down). All of my orders show as PROCESSING and clicking on any order just reloads the history page.

I think I bought mine at 20 seconds after noon today. Now I have all three. I sure hope they go up in value in 15 years and I am alive to see it and then pass them down the line. All you have to do is mint a coin and make it difficult for collectors to buy it and then they really want it. I think the one per household rule is good unless they don't sell out fast. If they don't see out then guys like Jack and perhaps myself should get another crack at it. If they drag like the SLQ's and LWH's then up the limit to 5. By managing supply they can manage appeal I think. How many of the LSQ's and LWH's are left now and has the limit been lifted. Did the Mint make a realistic Buffalo nickel as a commemorative. I can see making commemoratives for many outstanding coins such as Morgan dollars, Peace dollars etc. What about a pure gold 1804 silver dollar? I think they should make them actual size even if they have to add a baser metal like silver. Imagine a gold Flowing hair dollar?

My order was 967 so you beat me by 40 I think. I was confused by the order process for a few seconds. I wonder how many will be left by the end of the day?

Wegner, I use a Bausch & Lomb 3 lens loupe ($35 from APMEX, surely cheaper elsewhere). It has 5, 7, & 9X lenses and you can combine them for up to 20X. There is some limitation looking through the capsule so I open it and take the coin out for photographing (if you plan to do this invest in some cotton gloves). The capsule has a lot of reflection issues (as you have already figured out) and can sometimes confuse the autofocus on your camera. I also find it best to turn the flash off and/or use diffuse lighting (something as simple as frosted tape or a piece of white paper over the flash works). As you can see, I sometimes get a little carried away trying to get good super closeup images,

I hemmed and hawed on this but ended up getting the dime. I'm not sure I'll keep it but wanted to give myself the option.

I was pleasantly surprised when I got the Product notification from the mint 2 hours before sales began. Usually those emails arrive several hours after noon ET and occasionally after a sellout has occurred. Ninety minutes and still for sale but I am betting that they will be gone before tomorrow as well.

They just ran out! If they started with 9000, they went at just under 100 per minute.

First they went "Currently Unavailable" and are now "Sold Out".

Ouch! I did not expect that, esp. with gold taking a beating...
