Order confirmed for 1 gold and 1 Two ounce silver coin. I realize there are months ahead to cancel before delivery if I change my mind.Can't be confirmed that quick, can it?
You're right, of course. My mistake. I was confusing order placed with order confirmed.

As a high end comic collector of golden age books, and someone just getting into precious metals, I'm their target buyer. This was going to bring me into gold and have been excited for over a month to buy one. But this price is silly. No thanks from me. Not that cool. Not that unique.buy bullion gold from a bullion dealer. american gold eagles or gold buffaloes
for this, if you want something, i recommend the 2.5 ounce silver
Thank you for this. I'm looking for something with a little more rarity, but admittingly don't understand mint rarities. 10,000 (for gold) and 25,000 (for the 2.5 silver) don't seem low, but this is what I need to learn. Even as a big Superman fan, I just don't have the feeling that I'd be missing out if I just pass.
if you are a gold going higher person, just be aware the premiums decline the more gold goes up. if this gold is popular, it may take many years for the premium to get a several percent over melt value
i cannot think of another gold with both desirability and scarceness to recommend. watch the mint's website, sign up for their email, and check the numismatic news because we get about 2 years notice of mint ideas.
next year is the 250th party of the country. there will be a wide range of products, though i'm nt sure if they will be scarce. just because people fight over initially doesn't mean desirability will hold up over the years.
Re: You have 100,000 dollars to spend on rare coins of your choice. What are you buying?

The first thing that comes to mind is a gold 1865 Philadelphia year set. The year is fascinating and also the 1865 $2.5 and $5 are very rare. Getting those would make this set possible.An 1864 gold set is even cooler. I would love an 1864 $2 1/2 and an 1864-s $5. So few people have any of these 4 gold pieces.
A 1796 25C and 50C would also be cool!
Yeah, 1864 is an awesome year for coinage.

10K is typical for numismatic gold. A little low for a half ounce, but it's priced very high. 25K for silver anything is low.

That means you could receive your coin/medal by the end of November.

I bit the bullet and got gold.

That was my first thought, but I don't think it is.
Re: Comic Art 24-Karat Gold Proof Coin – Superman™ Unofficial order thread
I predict with 35 minutes left before the gold goes on sale that they’ll be sold out in the same amount of time : about 35 minutes. While I do not typically make such predictions, something tells me 10,000 will be gone faster than a speeding bullet.
