On CNBC right now. Wow.

DrBuster · August 9, 2011 10:55PM

Repricing day anyway, I'm sure they're resume soon enough.

OPA · August 9, 2011 11:19PM

Only partially correct...the $5 Army & MOH are still available at the current price....but for how long?

DrBuster · August 9, 2011 11:27PM

I admit I was tempted to get a proof AGE or 2 yesterday on the cheap before they halted.

Collector Bullion is now up again on the mint web site.

You can still buy the "gold" presidental dollars at spot!! Direct ship!

Seriously, I am glad I got an AGE before the price jump and a few Army's. As I go into battle.....

Which means, if Gold continues it's climb, another repricing is in store next Wednesday.

$5 gold commemoratives::

90% * 8.359 grams = 0.241873282 troy ounces

* 1775 = 429.33

MsMorrisine · August 10, 2011 2:23AM

Right now:

Army & MoH Commems in MS = $444.95
Army & MoH Commems in Proof = $454.95

$444.95 / 0.241873282 = $1839.60

$454.95 / 0.241873282 = $1880.94

we are close to melt on the MS ones.

MsMorrisine · August 10, 2011 2:26AM

how easy would it be to resell these for melt if the time comes?

It's not like they are stamped with the gold content.

derryb · August 10, 2011 2:33AM

gold content is standard and consistent with US Mint $5 gold comms. Accompanying COAs contain details.

fivecents · August 10, 2011 2:51AM

Yep...exact same gold content as the old school half eagle $5 liberty.

The U.S. Mint really wants to get rid of these Gold MOH commems. My MS was ordered on the 9th and its ready to be shipped.
