PRETTY COOL - NEW US MINTED BASEBALL COIN!

Lancemountain · Mar 27, 2014

A tad nervous, but finally got through. Site looked like a geocities 1998 website as I was poking through.

Got one of each for the collection. Thought about a gold to flip later but decided against the risk

I picked up 2 of the half dollar proofs. I wanted one of each, but couldn't afford that. My grandpa collects coins so instead of splurging on myself and getting a silver dollar and I ended up grabbing 2 half dollars, one for me and one for him

Just ordered two of the silver proofs. I was glad to see there wasn't much of a wait.

Me too but it says back ordered. Wouldn't be shocked if our orders get canceled

Ordered two of the gold's earlier, my order availability also reads backordered.
With a FINITE number of all these being minted you would think that they would stop taking orders when the quantitiy ran out….

Then again, this is the US Mint, so who the hell knows. Fingers crossed.

They don't ship till the 28th. Everytime I've ordered from the mint before the first release they've always said backordered

The production capacity is finite - they know how many are ready and what their schedule is. I've never had them renege on an order or not meet a date once it was provided.

They have reached the limit on gold coins - now you can only get on waitlist

I should have bought a few for a quick flip. I knew this was going to happen, just didn't want to chance it. damn

Pre-sells of the golds are selling for $730+. That's a hearty mark-up and there's definitely a demand.

A bunch of major pluses for this...
- gold
- US Mint
- limited mintage
- baseball
- collectable curved design

Seeing these hover at $7-800 probably isn't too crazy.

fk I was gonna buy a gold, then decided to play it safe with 5 silvers.

pre-sales always come in high. Every comm'm has at least one gold version. The ones that reach outside the coin collecting community are the ones that sell best on the secondary market right after release. This is one of those. damn

Silver eagles are addicting!!!!

A_Pharis · Mar 27, 2014

I am actually surprised they had to change mid-sale to limit the number per household. People must have been buying them en masse.

We own a few uncirc. Liberty Dollars. We have a family friend that worked for the mint in New Orleans. He would buy a few off of the line for my brothers and I and give them to our dad for us.

What makes you think they are wait listed? I still see them online as available to ship 4/11/14??

I ordered one of each except the gold uncirc. And two of the gold proof, with hopes of selling one for a little profit. I sure hope its wait listed, but I'm not seeing it...

Oops, never mind. It's in the description. Although still shows a ship date in red at the top!

The silver shipping was pushed back for those purchasing from here on out and the golds were pushed back as well.
