2024 gold flowing hair- Official US mint video and first look

So did anyone here buy one, try to buy one or never gave it a thought! Just wondering, nice coin but not for my budget!

I'll stick with the silver one.

 

I picked one up in the first three minutes. According to another poster, it sold out in 5 min!

 

Great happy for you, pic when you get it would be great!

 

I was in the waiting room 10 minutes before it went on sale. I was on the website when it changed to add to bag. Was able to go through the process and buy one in the first three minutes.

After that, I couldn't get back into the website. Went back into the waiting room. There was a 10 minute wait to get back in but I found out from other people they went to unavailable status somewhere around 7 minutes after they went on sale. Got e-mail confirmation for mine within 10 minutes.
Found out they have actually produced the full mintage. Don't know how many the dealers got in presales. 230 are reserved for the auction.

Don't know if they really sold them all that fast and there will be any left? Heard 500 of them were at Baltimore show but can't verify? A lot of people were bent out of shape after the quick sell out. Everybody found out there's no way you could come to the website at noon and think you were going to get out of the waiting room fast enough to get one.
I did not expect them to sell out this fast but as high as they're going for on secondary market, I think a lot of people were going for them to flip, like always. Especially with bounties these days.

OGP exampes have been selling for around $1k over issue price and PF 70 actual sold pre-sales have been going for 1500 to 2500 over issue price.
This is my new record for the most I've ever paid for a coin but I think it was worth it. I'm actually amazed I was able to get one. I couldn't get a V75 ASE in 45 minutes of trying when they went on sale.

 

If I could have done a face to face deal with a purchaser, I might have considered pulling the trigger on this one. For grins, I logged on to the mint web site at at 11:45 (eastern) and secured a place in line of 1 minute for when the things went on sale. Satisfied of my position, I promptly logged off. I was so sure that there wasn't going to be a run on these at 12. Boy was I wrong. When I logged back at 12:15 the product was sold out. I've no regrets though. This wouldn't have been a money maker for me unless I could attend a major coin show, like Balto, but that wasn't going to happen. I could have attended a local show (Melville) which happens two times per month, but I doubt any of the locals would have had the jing to pay me in cash. Cash is king, and it's the only thing I accept. EBAY would be a no go, due to the high premium they would charge and the worry I would have of being skunked by a miscreant. In the end, if I did purchase the coin for myself I probably would not have been satisfied with it due to the fact that it is stuck in high relief and lacking in dimension. I purchased an UHR gold in 2011 and wasn't satisfied with its' diminutive nature, so I sold it at FUN a few years later (a face to face transaction).

My congrats to all who have obtained this coin. It is indeed very beautiful and lovely indeed.

 

I managed to order one, with email confirmation. We shall see if it comes, and in what condition.

 

Mine came today and it's perfect. Just photographed it. Tipped it a little to give a mix of reflecting light and dark fields. The frost on the bust has something like a moving circular target that almost makes it look like liquid. The silver one does this too. The spot on the eagles neck is a light glare.

 

Latest sales report as of 11/17 shows silver medal sales still below 50k and they only sold 7,625 of the gold. No updates on where the rest are or what they’re planning on doing. Should be nearly 10k more gold ones sitting there. The dies have been canceled with a big X through them.

 

Apologies for the cellphone snap!

 

If you didn't get yours yet, check this out (you can still get one of 230 with privy mark):

Beautiful, but too rich for my blood.

 

Another sweet deal cut by the Mint for a retail/auction house. The more hands these pass through the higher end cost for the collector/consumer. Not ever going to own one of these so it shouldn’t matter, but it’s a practice I’d like to see eliminated. By law if necessary.

Ordered in the first 3 minutes. Staying in the OGP.

 

After seeing what the privy marked ones went for in Stack/Bowers, I’m more happy than ever about getting a non privy marked one!

 

Me too. Mine is in an NGC PF70 slab now.

 

I think I am going to leave mine int he original mint packaging
