    That one should be worth monsta money to someone. Or just slab it and keep it as your own modern crown jewel.

    Id say you ( your son actually ) have gotten close to the luck that the Saddle Ridge finders had. Speaking of Saddle
    Ridge is there any buzz over those Coins in Baltimore, or is it all yesterdays news?

    Wow your son got the glory ! imageimage >>



    Amazing.
    Will b in the coin mags.
    Don't know whether to slab that one or not.

    I tried that, as well as a few others. Same result it asks me to join the waiting room. >>



    I tried too, but they didn't show up. I had to go back the silver proof and then look at the bottom of the page
    to find the other coins, click each one, let the page load, order, repeat.

    You absolutely must get that slabbed at the show. If they would notate on your label that its the first coin sold
    you'd really have something historic. Those Dealers know what you got. You have a Grand Slam ball from a World Series
    game 7 where the underdawgs walked off with the whole thing.

    OK maybe not that big but its big. Do yourself and the numismatic ( and Baseball ) worlds a favor and get that puppy slabbed.

    Absolutely terrible design.

    I have 3 browsers open, each with a unique ID at the bottom. All three were open minutes from each other.

    You would think that if I was truly in line, that each one would tick down almost perfectly from the time they were open. Well, you thought wrong.

    Browser 1 - 1h 12m
    Browser 2 - 32m
    Browser 3- 29m

    So much for holding a place correctly in line! New system is crap IMO

    That's not what the US Mints homepage says right now. What's your source?
  • BurnieBurnie Posts: 443 ✭✭✭
    Taken directly from the mint website:

    Household Order Limits: Due to the extremely strong anticipated demand for the 2014 National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coins, household order limits will apply as follows:

    Proof and Uncirculated $5 Gold Coins – 50 coins each
    Proof and Uncirculated Silver Dollars – 100 coins each
    Proof and Uncirculated Clad Half-Dollars – 100 coins each

    ...so it is 50 each of the proof and gold for 100 total; 100 each for the proof and unc silver for a total of 200, same with the clad.

    thanks for updating, i saw the limit, and them having the proof and Unc on the same line, but i missed the 'each'.

    Never got in. Just sat there spinning after I got the "It's your turn" message. I had to leave to go do my Meels on Wheels delivery route, but I left the page up while I was away. I just got back and it was still spinning, so I closed it. I just tried to login again and I'm in the waiting room with a 44 minute wait. What a total, unmitigated disaster IMO. This is an improvement?? Shuffle you off to a wait room, where, when your wait is over there is no guarantee that you'll get in.

    I sure hope MCM runs a special for us unfortunate board members...

    If in 20 years there is not a Mint bag to be found, 2 bidders could establish a very high, very thin market. ( for that reusable bag )

    But of course everyone will hold their overproduced junk stash in them and there will be no value for anything.

    I can click around now without much trouble. Gold is shown as back ordered, not sold out. Given they are not yet minted, I can see the back order as they determine what quantity they need of each finish and will strike to satisfy the demand.
