    Is that an outline of Fatboy or Littleboy? I wonder which one the Mint attempted to illustrate the first bomb dropped or the second? Fascinating the Japanese didn't surrender after Little Boy, Truman had no other option, other than to drop another, named Fatboy. I say make 75 siver examples and 75 gold examples all done by a lottery selection process.

    I would hope that any resemblance of the shape of the Rainbow Pool at the World War II Memorial, to that of the atom bombs used, is merely coincidental.

    I'll be damned the rainbow pool it is, I thought it was representing the profile of the bomb, carry on.

    my prediction is the age v75 just in box coa going for 8k in secondary, sliding to 5k in a few months- p70 for 15k - easy ... the mintage is stupid low

    Well in fairness, the coins could hit nuclear level prices so no wonder you had nukes on your mind,

    For the gold, If they only strike 1945, I would think they should all grade ms70. The only difference would be cam or dcam. And, yes, every one would be "early strike" - as if that matters.

    I'm excited for the release of these. But I fear that the mints website won't be be able to hold up. It froze last November for the enhanced silver eagle, and 9 months later it froze again last week when they released the remaining coins. Unfortunately it doesn't look like they've made any IT updates to their systems.

    The price set was $69.50 for the silver but now has been set to N/A. Wonder why that has happened.

    Here we go again. It will be rank as #4 on the ASE rarity chart.
    PR70 2008-W Silver Eagles with the Reverse of 2007 is around $700-$800 at 47000 mintage.
    PR70 2019-W $1 Silver Eagle Enhanced Rev PR Pride of Two Nations $175 at 110,000 mintage

    So $400 for a PR70 is my estimate flipper price .

    But lets not forget about this year's pride of two nations set. My bet is a 2020 ase pair with libertard or britannia.

    What is a libertard?

    The Mexican version of an eagle. Made in silver and gold with fractionals for both. Really nice design. It's intresting that they don't have a face value on them so technically they are medals.

    Basically the same coins so release on the same day just like the commemoratives. It is annoying that there is no chance of getting both from the mint.

    Anyone going for the silver over the gold?

    Considering the high price for the gold, I assume most will be going for the silver.

    True. With the current gold price the price of the gold coin will be $2600. But we are still unsure of the silver eagle's price as it was $69.50 previously until the mint removed it for some reason.

    The gold is intriguing but I see a minefield of scams trying to resell it. Claims of empty boxes, shipping regular GAEs. When the profits are that high the risks are that much greater.

    I would rather had a nice two coin offering sold together, in a 75th anniversary display, then have to go for the gold, and try to finish up with a somewhat low mintage silver eagle. It would have made sense with a 1,945 offering at least, and have the balance of silver eagles sold separately, on a different day???

    IDK. I'm tired of .gov bureaucrats, and this is just another example of why...too many without a clue. A slimmer mint may produce a better product.

    I think that’s a little rich in a poor economy and also in a “bracket” where buyers drop out 5k plus++
    I would say that many flippers might not want to go all in here, if the immediate raw flip premium is only 500-700 bucks on a 2650+ investment; not such a great return for the risk

    The silver shouldn’t be hard to get with a HH limit of 1 and 75,000 minted. That means 75,000 orders.

    The gold will be exceptionally hard to get. I think if you want one, probably need 10 people trying for you. Gold should bring at least 7500-10,000 with such an absurdly low mintage
