It went off this morning at $1,490 plus S&H.
That's one big premium over the Spot Price.

After all, it's only Bullion, it's not a true
Numismatic Collectable.

Besides, the re-design of Liberty is terrible.
Why must the revisionists keep messing with
history.

Can't believe all of the negative comments. This coin is beautiful, she is fit and strong not anorexic, google anorexic to see what it is. Love the placement of LIBERTY - This coin will make the "100 greatest coins". Very proud to own 2.

Not only is this coin ugly but the Mint's pricing is way off. If one wanted this coin, you let all the flippers grab it first then wait 6-8 months and this coin will be hundreds dollars less than its initial release price, whatever it may be.

This is how it always is lol

This coin looks like they had a "coin of the future" design contest at the 1932 world's fair

The obverse and price was a deal breaker for me. Liberty on the obverse is way too big. The premium is a rip off. I think the U.S. Mint is trying to capitalize on gullible flippers.

This is not a sold out offering - there are still thousands to be sold.

Perfection? There were 50,000 to be sold - 37,000 have been sold to between 12 and 15,000 buyers... I think you might be looking at the wrong numbers to perceive that as a huge seller. This "coin" will languish on the secondary market for a long time. If the average buyer bought 1 (which I see a lot here say they did), that leaves about 20,000 of these in the resellers hands, and the mint with about 13,000 left to sell themselves.

What happens if this coin doesn't sell out? Does the remaining balance get melted over period of time, or production simply ceases. Unlike the 2009 UHR, this one just isn't popular with certain collectors, could be the modern design lacking the old style charisma.

macmercury... the mint has already made the money on these. These will be on sale until they are sold out. If it came to melting them it isn't a great loss - since these are pure gold - it isn't like they have to do much beyond heating them to melt and pouring them into new molds.
