Yeah, I'm doing one each of the silver dollar and clad half-dollar... both proofs.

So the U.S. Mint doesn't already have a giant stockpile of gold for making coins like this? They periodically buy gold based on planned production?Pretty smart on the US Mint's part to hold off on pricing. Gold has been surging the last few weeks - if the mint obtained the gold for minting production when it was slumped around $1200 and is going to price it assuming gold $1380 like today, it just adds to how much more the mint can increase their margins on this particular run of gold coins.

Serious question. I know very little about the Mint or coins.
Ordered.
Dang, man!
I'm down to 1 hour and 13 minutes in the lobby.
I think the only ones that will sell out today will be the Gold coins, so while the wait is annoying...you'll be fine I'd think.
I figured a lot of people would be buying the gold as investments. I'm buying as a keepsake. What did you end up getting? (just jumped down to 30 mins)
