Right now, Paradise Mint is probably trying to figure out what happened to all their stock and why? That was a fast sell out.
if paradise mint comes through with those coins we just tripled out money- check this out: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-D-U-S-...Individual&hash=item3a6e63b28f#ht_1794wt_1396 these are going to just skyrocket- sky is the limit.

The next two in line are currently at $80 with plenty of time left.
Not necessarily, some merchants will charge but if they're out of stock, then they should refund the money. A charge doesn't mean the order is done or completely processed.
"The coin and bullion market is volatile. Coin prices may fluctuate rapidly resulting in a significant loss or gain. Because these markets can be volatile, all sales of bullion coins, bars and certified coins are final and not returnable." From this notice on Paradise mint's terms it looks like they may honor these sales. We shall see
Remember though, low mintage numbers mean = low demand. This doesn't necessarily mean the coin is going to take off in value, there might be a bubble now for those that are trying to gobble any remaining ones out on market but it could be years before this coin reaches it's peak value, takes time, new collectors that create a demand for it, etc. I still have no desire for the coin, even if it ends up being worth hundreds or thousands, I don't sell my coins in my collection anyways. I didn't like any of the Army designs this year, I thought they were all pretty poor designs for the most part.
I am confident that they will honor the orders. If not, they will lose my business and probably others' as well. I saw that silvertowne sold out too. I found another source online yesterday and was about ready to post it to this thread, but when I went back to check the link they had sold out (this happened in less than a minute). TC
Low demand that lead to low mintage numbers and it's only clad, I can see why they didn't likely put much effort into them.
+1. I agree that demand for the clad half commemoratives is not great. The mint also dramatically increased prices on them this year driving people away. Regardless, this is now the lowest mintage modern clad half and supply is drying up while interest/publicity seems to be increasing. Looks like the potential for a price increase to me at least in the short term. TC
