He's looking for a shot at the WWII gold eagle. It's limited to 1945 pieces and every dealer in the country is gonna have headhunters out for it and offering bounties. To even have a shot at it, you really should be prepared to deal with and be ready for whatever may occur or lose valuable time. I do not think the WWII privy marked silver eagle will be that bad with 75,000 pieces, but they are being sold and opened up for sales at the same time so the website will be crushed. In fact I'd suggest if you're wanting both of them, place two orders. Get the gold first and don't waste the time putting a silver one in the cart also.
