So from who would one buy these from? The mint, bank or what? I've seen companies sell them through magazine ads but those are just gold plated regular coins.

Here's a photo with a side profile. I've read several articles about this "curved" coin, but this is the first photo I've found that shows it in a way that really lets you see the curvature.
These go on sale in 10 minutes. With no ordering limit and capped mintage of 50k for the $5 gold piece, this is expected to be a quick sellout. Anyone here ordering any?

What is better to get a proof or uncirculated coin?

Tony,
I prefer the proof version, personally, as it is more striking in appearance and just a few dollars more.

Lol! I just got order confirmation. Ordered two of gold proofs and silver proofs and uncs. Looking like a quick sellout.

I placed my order via phone at 12:11 - ordered 1 of each coin in Proof. I also agree that this will be a quick sellout for the gold coin. I have a feeling the Unc version of the gold coin will ultimately be the more rare version but the proof coin looks awesome.

Wow!!!!

I think I got my order in for some of the silver coins it does say back ordered until 6/15/14 though on my invoice?? Cool looking item though for sure.
Word is that orders are going through but won't be fulfilled and will get canceled. This has happened to me in the past when the Mint software takes on more orders than they are able to fulfill. Doesn't hurt to try though.

I "ordered" a $5 gold proof and silver dollar proof. Gold backordered till 4/11 and silver till 6/15. Guess I'll just wait and see what, if anything, shows up. But the free bag is in stock.
But I agree, the Mint website s-kucks big time. Have to manure around to get to the BB coins. And then possibility of accepting orders and of course the $ for $ they may not have.
Mint just posted on site it is a sellout. Record time.

Although I'm sure prices will spike to crazy levels in the near term, I think this issue will retain popularity over the long term, too. I've been buying issues from the Mint for years now and any issue that sells out this quick is a lock to retain value as long as the mintage remains capped, which it will. I don't really think it is a gimmicky coin--the curvature is definitely different but it fits within the theme of the issue and what it represents, imo. If/when gold recoups some of its recent losses, it will gain even more value, though the value of this piece is not really tied to its intrinsic metal value.

There will be new machines for these produced under the Obama Vending Machine Act.
But if you like your old vending machine, you can keep it

Hopefully they limit those that ordered massive amounts and do the right thing...
50k mintage for gold is way low.
Considering that it's for 2 issues and we should have a real winner here.
