<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1918194, member: 19065&quot;]Yes, that is correct. The new coins went on sale today, Tuesday, May 6th on the Perth Mint website. I don&#039;t know when GovMint (will/did) list their allotment of these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>GovMint.com is the distributor for delivery to the USA. You could buy on eBay.com (or eBay.au), or try another dealer in Australia, such as <b><a href="http://www.downies.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.downies.com/" rel="nofollow">Downies.com</a></b>, who I have heard will have these coins for sale. Perth Mint will not deliver direct to USA addresses. Perth Mint serves Australia and other countries for this release.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.perthmint.com.au/catalogue/australian-wedge-tailed-eagle-2014-5oz-silver-proof-high-relief-coin.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.perthmint.com.au/catalogue/australian-wedge-tailed-eagle-2014-5oz-silver-proof-high-relief-coin.aspx" rel="nofollow">5 ounce silver proof high relief</a> (Limited mintage of 5,000)</p><p>These 5 oz. coins are currently selling for approximately USD$410. A very steep mark up with silver at USD$19.69 spot price on 2014/5/6. These coins are 12.5mm thick and 50.6mm in diameter. Some listings on eBay immediately went up for $599 per coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.perthmint.com.au/catalogue/australian-wedge-tailed-eagle-2014-1oz-slver-proof-coin.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.perthmint.com.au/catalogue/australian-wedge-tailed-eagle-2014-1oz-slver-proof-coin.aspx" rel="nofollow">1 ounce silver proof </a></p><p>(Limited mintage of 5,000 --&gt; This means combined with GovMint coins sold-out in January, a total mintage of 10,000)&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>This is the same coin</u> that was originally sold by GovMint in January in the US. It was not sold on the Perth Mint site in January but now it is. The 40.6mm diameter proof. This is NOT high relief.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most likely GovMint will submit their coins to PCGS and anything not given a 69/70 grade will be sold in original boxes, but considerably less expensive for those who know the coins were already submitted to the TPG. If buying on the secondary market, be aware of this when considering your costs.</p><p><br /></p><p>For more information from collectors, read the comments section of this <a href="http://world.mintnewsblog.com/2014/05/pert-mint-new-product-releases-for-may-2014-include-new-wedge-tailed-eagle-coins/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://world.mintnewsblog.com/2014/05/pert-mint-new-product-releases-for-may-2014-include-new-wedge-tailed-eagle-coins/" rel="nofollow">World Mint News blog</a> page. It&#039;s one of the more accurate, if not a little confusing, sources of information about the release of these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was absolutely NO problem placing an order for these coins on the Perth Mint page on release day for coins shipping to locations outside of Australia and outside of the U.S. Delivery estimate given was 5-7 days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
