    I'm guessing that the mint had already packaged thousands of these coins and that all they have to do is print out shipping labels and then slap them on the packages. The market will soon be inundated with these coins but with a household limit of only one I'm guessing that most will not be flipped any time soon.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    I couldn't care less if it flops or not. I bought one because I'm a collector and I like this very attractive coin.


    Same here Perry. I love the design.

    I'm not sure that statement adds up. If most are not flipped the market will not be flooded. Flips create floods.
    As a note, this is my first ever mint product, and I'm buying it because this design is beautiful in gold. I think it'll do very well for those who like to sell.

    With the household limit of one and these still not sold out, I think we get a clearer picture of how many people are actually collecting these. Probably means that there are 50,000 extra gold dimes out there looking for a home.

    I was thinking the same thing. Inventories must be high somewhere.

    In the past the mint would raise the household limit after a few weeks if the coin hadn't sold out. With about 55,000 sold after a little more than eight hours I would expect a sell out in a few days. As we get close to the mintage limit I would also expect the sales to accelerate.

    Everyone, lately, seems to want to call everything a "flipper's flop". I'm not sure why that is so important to some.



    There are always homeruns and always flops. It happens.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I believe it will take a few weeks or more to sell out since most everybody who wanted one ordered today. These will likely be available from the mint in October if the HH limit stays at 1.

    I bought mine to keep because it is a dang beautiful design, along with the dime I got earlier and the half to come. I think a lot of people will keep them just for the beauty!

    I got this and probably will get the half direct. The dime premium is way more palatable for the masses and probably will stay that way for a bit...that's my guess anyway and why I will snag a dime down the road to ultimately have my set that will sit until I'm dispersed.

    Can't blame you. Funny thing is, I'm just the opposite. I've looked at Type 1 FH's for years and never pulled the trigger on one. However, with this golden version, had to have it.

    I just noticed that the Mint web site reverted to the version in use prior to this morning. Hmmmm. An experiment failed? Thoughts?



    On a sell out of the SLQ, it could be weeks or even months away. The gold dime still has 8,894 left of a total mintage of 125,000, 7%. That's from April 21st, 140 days ago. The dime page does say "This product is currently unavailable" and has for most of these 140 days. Will these left overs become available? Are they returns with flaws that leave them unsalable? Once in hand how many of the SLQ's won't pass muster and be returned? I don't think there will be that many. But after a month or so will about the same 7% remain, 7100 unsold? Lets check the production report at the end of October.

    Actually that was the primary motivation for me to add the gold Standing Liberty to my MS64 silver 1917 Type 1 making it a "set" along with the 1916s which "I wish" were even close to that grade. image

    OK, I ordered one but like the version D. Carr did of his "1915" with a bit more attention on the obverse. I really like (at least the pictures) of the reverse in gold however.

    One of the more attractive aspects of these gold centennial coins is the known number of coins in the set, which is three. Easy to purchase and easy to complete what will be a very unique and attractive set. Profit potential is the furthest thing from my mind.

    Yep, the spot price of gold went up from $800 to $1900 and the UHRs went along for the ride. If gold doubles in price next year these will be worth some serious change.

    Agree. Since they are gold they should be around for many centuries.

    I'm only a casual collector of coins and thus don't really follow the U.S. Mint's web site so I was totally unaware of this series until yesterday. Totally missed out on the Mercury dime and I don't know if I'll be able to purchase it at a reasonable price.

    Anyhow, I placed an order for the Standing Liberty quarter yesterday, Friday, September 9, at 05:20 PM CDT and my order number is: 4462xxx

    Looks like I should be getting a coin. image

    Does anybody know at what point in the ordering process an order number is assigned? If somebody tries to order one to a household address they have already used, or on a credit card number they have already used, or whatever, and the order is rejected, is it rejected before or after the order number is assigned?



    And do we have any new order numbers from today?

    Hate to state the obvious but....there are a lot of collectors placing lots of orders for many different products. Keeping track of order numbers four days after the fact is kinda worthless
