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

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

    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.....

    first spouse has priced into the 1700 - 1749.99 range.

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

    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.

    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.

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

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

    Snooze ya lose; remaining gold comms unavailable at US mint while they are being repriced.

    Got my order in yesterday at lower price thanks to OPA's reminder.
