Did I miss something, or did this issue come from out of nowhere? Is our new mint director responsible for this? I can't say I'm a fan. I'm trying to purchase all of the gold issues coming out this year, but I'm passing on this one. I wonder if the grading services are gnashing their teeth trying to come up with a holder that will accomodate a liberty bell?

I didn't get an email that's referred to in a prior post. Does it give sny details beyond what's on the mint site?

I wonder if they've ever used these membrane type holders? I've seen them, never used one.

What's the diffrrence between item 26LB at $10,050, and item 26LC at $19,600? Likely I'm blind as my wife used to say, but I don't see it delineated on the webpage anywhere. I'm guessing LB is unc., and LC is proof maybe. Gives me the impression this was a rush job, or maybe this whole thing was meant for April 1st release and they were slow to get it off in time?

While I'm at it, I'm very disappointed about the house hold limit. I wanted to get maybe a dozen of each to serve as holiday gifts for friends and family.

On the bright side, no one can complain about not knowing the issue price until the last minute.

Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of intetest in this "coin" beyond the crazy price. I subscribe to Coin World and Numismatic News. Now usually when there's an upcoming issue those periodicals and the mint's own upcoming releases page cover details months in advance. In this case...nothing. I suspect details on how these issues came about are going to be be verrrrry interesting (apologies to Arte Johnson, those of you under 70 could look it up). |

They will still pobably sell out in the first 15 minutes Hmmmmm, sell out predictions. Silver: I'm predicting minutes on that. I don't think under a minute. I think the EU Gold Eagle may be a good example of the speed of a sell out, given that there were about 5000 (I think it was) available at drop time. 100 seconds is the most quoted time of sell out. I think the silver medal will be the fastest seller by far. 2000 of them, yeah a minute give or take, because the site will also be handling the gold sale simultaneously. I think the silver will sell out as fast as the mint can process sales with the waiting room in effect. I think the waiting room at least assists in keeping the site from all out crashing, but we all know that weirdness still happens. After that, I think the gold sales will be sluggish. They'll sell em out, but unsure if it'll be that kind of speed or not. Totally guesses here, but thinking the 1/2 oz will be 15 minutes and the 1oz 1/2 hours. |

I can only assume that collecting This medal/coin is an investment. Just not into the hype surrounding the greed, Sure I too Would Like to have the Silver medal, I think it looks Cool too, I have " invested " in Many, Many mint products in my lifetime. I can Not see any justification for a Silver Medal of 1/2 ounce, In Any shape for $750.00.  Enjoy what you choose, May I ask, Why spend this exorbitant amount of $$$ on this, I would enjoy hearing from those that are going to try for these,  Maybe They know something we do not ? Sellout ? Silver medal, I do Not agree...  Edited by Morgans Dad
