<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1918786, member: 19065&quot;]I thought I gave you all the information (and more) that you needed before May 6th arrived. You simply have to act (be ready to buy) immediately when the coins are released in order to get them. That means figuring out the time of day for the release as indicated by the Perth Mint and waiting to order online that instant! Australia&#039;s time difference to USA is very different, so be careful and ready when sales go live.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ordering on the Perth Mint website is very, very easy. However, for this coin you cannot use the Perth Mint site if you want coins delivered inside the US.</p><p><br /></p><p>So far, I haven&#039;t seen the 5 oz. coins listed on GovMint.com. Have they sold out? I don&#039;t know. Are they coming soon? Perhaps. If they do the same thing as they did in January, then GovMint.com may have the coins graded by PCGS first, then list the coins later. I am unsure of the timing of the release on the GovMint.com web site. I have never heard good reviews of that company, so I prefer not to deal with them.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, what country are you in? If you are in America (USA), then you need to buy on the GovMint.com website in order to get the Wedge Tailed Eagle coin directly. The US market has limited distribution only through that dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I said earlier, some dealers in Australia, such as, Downies and Coin Club Australia sell the Wedge Tailed Eagle coins no matter where you live, but they probably cost more from these dealers.</p><p><br /></p><p><u><b>Apparently, <a href="http://www.coinsaustralia.com.au/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinsaustralia.com.au/" rel="nofollow">CoinsAustralia</a> had some of the 5 oz. coins (on May 6th) and those coins sold out immediately</b>.</u>&nbsp; The same thing happened on the Downies web site, instant sell-out. From the reports of other customers, there were no limits on how many these dealers would sell to any one customer. Some reported buying 5 coins each.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only other way to get the coins now, is from an auction site, such as eBay. Because of this you will definitely find higher prices at this time. Maybe wait a few years and the prices will decrease.</p><p><br /></p><p>I ordered through Perth, one of each coin, 5 oz and 1 oz regular proof.&nbsp; If my order was successful and gets delivered, then I will post a picture here for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest, if you like the U.S. Mint&#039;s AtB 5 ounce silver coins, both the bullion and&nbsp; the collector &quot;P&quot; mint mark versions of these coins, they are a much cheaper option than the Perth Mint&#039;s collector 5 ounce Wedge Tailed Eagle silver coin. AtB 5 oz. coins are a good option for buying 5 oz. denominated silver coins with specially Minted designs, if that&#039;s what you want. The cheapest are the bullion versions and can be bought from several bullion dealers in the US, such as APMEX, FideliTrade, Provident Metals, Gainesville Coins and many others.&nbsp; The collector versions with a &quot;P&quot; mintmark and a soft frosted finish are cheapest when bought direct from the U.S.Mint online catalog. The U.S. Mint will ship to most any international address.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
