Mint Link

At 3/4 oz. of gold....I guesstimate $1,200 to $1,300 per coin.....I'm in for at least one......household limit is five.


edited to add: Per Mint Website, "Purchasing: The household order limit (via Web site and phone orders) is five (5) units.
Order limit at retail sites and other venues is two (2) units."

I'm in for 1 raw from the mint.
Probably get another one graded.

One for my collection.

New CoinWorld says if London fix is $1350-$1399 then issue price is $1315....I'll guess issue price is $1280 on opening day

Count me in for a few,

Do these qualify for gold IRAs ?

I would assume not cause it's 3/4 of an oz with a premium that almost brings it to spot.

Ira's are not about spot or a premium over spot (look at the proof gold eagles). It's about what is allowed. Buffalo 24kt gold is not allowed, and I can't imagine these being allowed either

I'm so used to seeing the silver halves that this gold piece would feel phony. Like it had been plated or filled with chocolate. I'm gonna pass hard.

If the design wasn't so similar, if there was one or more major differences besides the date, I would consider buying one. Like a different portrait (like they did on our currency).

Also, when are they going to quit with the display boxes? Don't they know that we slab and stack? Who wants to pay premiums for boxes. It's just annoying. They should offer the boxes a la carte for a small additional fee, for customers who want them. Seriously.

Also, I try to avoid buying things (or committing to buying) before the price has been announced. Maybe it's the haggler in me, but it goes against my nature.

I would like to buy one. With luck it will arrive by Christmas.

Some of us like the original mint packaging and go out of our way to collect it. I miss the four and six piece sets in the wooden boxes that the mint used to issue, and I am sorry that I will probably never be able to collect the four piece Buffalo gold set in the original holder.

Still, the big, heavy box, like the one the 2009 Ultra High Relief coin came in was a bit too much.

I will pass.

TheRaven

Pass, to expensive for my current budget.

Will probably get the 2 clad coins and the silver set.

Rubber gloves to protect the coin from oils and dirt, and metal tongs with serrated edges on the rim with reeded edge.


Brilliant ! Guess the grade . I like it , anyway.

HATTRICK

I am in for two in OGP for the grandkids. They can add them to their 100th anniversary coins in 2064.

I think these may fizzle down the road because of the post-HOF effect.

I think a bunch of people will pile in to flip and flipping will be good for a while because of the time it takes to ship to people, but maybe 12 months later prices will be lower as the flippers will flip into lower demand than for the HOF coins.

PS: I kick myself for not ordering a couple more clad HOF when ordering the clad kennedy sets. I think they will make good gifts.

Kudbegud

I'm in...one for sure.
From the popularity of the 2 coin clad set I am expecting a mod scene in the waiting room on the 5th.

Someone who is ready to make one false move and put nice big mark on the mirrored surface.

Overdate

Show of hands:

How many are going to remove their gold Kennedy from the OGP and put it in their Kennedy album?

dlimb2

You don't put 24K gold coins in albums. But if you want to put yours in one be my guest.

MsMorrisine

I'll mash it in with metal tongs


(Did those tongs have a soft plastic grip on them?)

I may follow your lead.
Can't wait to sit in the waiting room at 11:45 EST.

Question is, which is the best browser that will expedite your wait?......won't be IE for sure.

Key words from the Mint:

"An initial inventory of 40,000 coins will be available for sale on August 5 through various sales channels.
The United States Mint will evaluate sales activity during the first week and make adjustments to its production schedule accordingly."

Anyone buying more from the Mint at the current price of $1,165.00?

TopographicOceans

I predict a massive loss for anyone who buys these to flip for a profit.

Why? You can get them in the aftermarket for a lot less.
