  7. They're nice but I was never initially interested in this 3 coin series. Shoulda been silver!

    from the numbers reported 41370xx - 41164xx is possibly 20,600 orders? At the limit that is only 6 per order average. Perhaps already sold out?

    Yeah I can't place another order at 11:39. Had to remove from cart. Suddenly the mintage looks very miniscule.

    Look at the Quantities of 10 sealed that have sold on eBay this morning alone. Looks like at least 10 boxes of 10 already. This secondary market is going to get HOT!

    Let the panic begin. I ordered 5. Couple for myself and one for a friend. Shouldve went 10. Oh well.
    Alot of people gonna be mad. Wonder if they still wanted the mintage limit to be 50k? That's a joke.
    Confirmation email never looked so good.
    I wonder how many of the pre-sellers werent able to get theirs?

    Heck yeah! I grabbed a few early. Acknowledgment email! 041255XX
    When I ran the numbers beforehand, I assumed the average would be more than 5 coins per order, so really that is just 25,000 orders, and you can also assume dealers will scoop at least half of these so maybe 10,000-12,000 typical household orders. For the popularity of 1/10oz gold this was a no-brainer!

    Well, i got a reminder saying they are going on sale today @ 12 today, grabbed my wallet 5 mins before 12 and have been refreshing to no avail. Turns out im an hr late to the show. Im central time and they went on sale @ 12 est. Boo

    I was going to buy 2 but i guess Ill skip this one. I think the mintages for the quarter and half dollar will be significantly lower then this piece

    I already have a buyer asking what my lowest price would be via Paypal for the box of 10, hehehe.
    Flattering to get interested parties this early :)

    Looks like the prices are going nuts already with Buy-it-nows as high as $4,999.00 OBO for the box of 10! Have to love the Mint :)

    My card was already hit and I expect it to ship soon, but saw a listing on eBay saying his/her order is enroute!

    Supposedly the Mint had already produced all 125k coins, so they should ship reasonably soon.

    If you weren't able to get any, its probably worth putting your email in the Remind Me box just in case. They will sometime have more that will be available later. Canceled orders, cards that cant be charged, etc... things happen.
