About time.

Privy too.
I could swear I got those images from the U.S. Mint Website earlier today.....now they are not there in that slide show.

Interesting the NGC completed listings at $10k all are "Ultra Cameo" w/o a sign one that these will be Cameos.

Am I missing something?
I hope the premium will not be high, so I can afford to order one.

Strange! Where did the privy go!!!!
The Mint is definitely up to something.
Now I'm mad I did not get all the privy images that were available....like the COA.
The mint needs to tell us if they are making another lottery like the Silver medal one
These end slideshow coins had privy marks on them this morning.
They are now repeats of the beginning slideshow.

This is really strange! Could it be that the mint wanted to do a privy marked one but they changed their mind later on and forgot to remove the old photos from their storage folder!
I found this on one of the videos on YouTube
: PRIVY.......
No, it's an effect of the lighting on the contours of the edges of the design.

Not implying privy will be offered on gold as my guess is as good as anyone else's, but the silver on website also states no privy.
Mint customer service rep: "I'm not privy to give out that information...."
Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
Any more LOL's out there. I know what I saw this morning.
Maybe Privies were considered in the early stages?? Perhaps there will be 230 thrown in at the last moment? Maybe it was just a new website cut n' paste error??
Here you go, folks.
Screenshot from Silver Stacker YouTube video..
To be fair, he doesn’t show that the privy was in the website. He clicks to another page that was not live, and said someone sent the picture to him. I do believe those that saw it live though, so I have to imagine the mint may be planning some.
Pricing Range Table
Column = rightmost;
Row = average price per ounce
Example:
@ average price per ounce = $2,675.00
Price = $3,690.00
Premium = $1,015.00
Why right most vs American Liberty 1 oz 24k?
Technically this is not apart of the American Liberty High Relief series.
CoinNews.net is showing a price of $3,740 if coin was released today.
Got to love the incused edge lettering.
230th Anniversary Flowing Hair Gold Coin Images Unveiled
By
Mike Unser -
November 6, 2024
The United States Mint has just published several images of the 2024-W Proof Flowing Hair Gold Coin ahead of its scheduled release on Nov. 14 at noon ET. The coin debuts one month after the release of the 2024 Flowing Hair Silver Medal, which proved very popular, lasting just over 24 hours before going off sale.
Both the coin and medal pay homage to the 230th anniversary of the first dollar coin issued by the U.S. federal government, sharing the design of that 1794 dollar created by Robert Scot.
The obverse (heads) recreates the original first dollar’s right-facing Liberty profile, encircled by 15 stars symbolizing the states that had ratified the Constitution by 1794. The design preserves the "LIBERTY" inscription and updates the date to "2024." The edge bears the denomination as "HUNDRED CENTS ONE DOLLAR OR UNIT," incused along its rim.

Thanks. When I looked far right column was Liberty & Britannia. See the new column now
Retracted.
Because they just HAD to create a new column just for this. The highest premium for any numismatic product from the US Mint, ever, on a precious metal item at pretty much the highest spot price for any metal, ever.
Powerful combination. Line up -- only 17,500 available. Strict limit of one per customer. Get 'em before they're gone. 🤣
From the article: "In contrast, if the coin were released today, its price would be $3,740, based on an average gold price in the range of $2,700.00 to $2,749.99 per ounce."
I'd go with @MetroD's calculation of $3,690 since gold is around $2,650+ as we speak.
Do you recall which day of the week the mint benchmarks spot for pricing?
New website does not link to prior cached info.
I believe it's Wednesday and in the afternoon?
Regardless of what youtubers say, the Mint website says no privy
The early images were probably just re-renders of the silver medal using gold texture.
Collector, occasional seller
With all due respect, NO WAY!
edited to add: Here are the silver FH specs.
But they absolutely were NOT re-renders, as evidenced by the edge lettering. The theory about these being the coins they intend to auction is extremely plausible. The mistake was their posting the images, not creating them in the first place.
well, fair enough

I’ll let you be the judge…
Great captures !
Looks like gold proof is struck with laser etched dies.
As far as I know, the Mint sets the price using a average, not a specific day.

W PM serves as a 'tie-breaker' when re-pricing (i.e., for second, and subsequent, sales weeks). Do not know if it is included in the average for the initial release.

A 'hat tip' to @cagcrisp for the information in the second reference.
The silver metal privy spec should have been labeled 'lottery' or something, but if it was noted Yes, that would be misleading & I would expect to receive which was not going to happen. Maybe the acceptable field value is just Yes or None. But the pics for the silver metal did show the privy and not sure why the Mint pulled the Gold coin privy pics. Pairing the 2 coins with privys would set a high dollar value for sale since this would be the product to own.
Appreciate this info. So for most part looks like price table reference will be based on weekly London spot averaged ending Wednesday prior to Thurs sale date.
Seemed like with my last purchase 15 years ago the UHR was not weekly averaged. Hedged this upcoming purchase last December with an ounce of gold and this info will give a good idea of when to sell.
Thank You!
we only have 7 days left until the release date. The mint needs to update the webpage ASAP if they are making 1794 coins with privy mark......
The mint released a video about the gold coin, at the end of the video they show actual coins and it appears there is a privy on them.
Yes I know the specs say no privy then why release the video?
New mint press release. Yes there will be privy marks on gold however…
Good find @Danno44!!
Anyone tell me what the red arrow is pointing at??
Did the Mint PR say 230 coins to be auctioned off??
Here's the Mint PR Link
This product is included in the Mint’s Authorized Bulk Purchase Program (ABPP). Products listed in the ABPP will be eligible for early release, carry an AB suffix in the product code, and carry a premium. Early released products are not eligible for discounts.
That would be the mystery privy mark. At least this mystery, with what is actually a pretty obvious answer, was cleared up promptly by the Mint. Which begs the question of why won't they address the missing 25K silver medals?
I wonder what the auction venue will be?
