Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
I purchased one of the silver medals and I will purchase another PCGS 70. This is one of the few issues I will buy in Silver that is graded and take a chance on the spotting.
I'm interested to see the Silver encapsulated in a PCGS holder.
I wish the Mint would have gone with a Classic Liberty design instead of a "Scatterbrained Liberty" look...

My last US Mint purchase was a proof silver eagle in 1986. Until tonight. I've just purchased this issue in silver...I find both the size and design compelling.

The PCGS Instagram page posted an actual trueview style picture of the gold. The obverse seems cartoonish. They could have had a lot more detail on a high relief piece.
well that's not really a surprise. They've never been unavailable.
When the HHL comes off, we'll find out if any of the big guys want to mess with these. My guess is they won't. It doesn't look like they sold more than 10-15k yesterday, so there doesn't seem to be enough interest.
I would be willing to bet that the gold medal is still available one year from today.
Just a run down of some of my AM checks. Also checked a few others and nothing was “replenished” maybe tomorrow.
I can't bring myself to buy either one, can't get around that 1/3 flowing hair, 2/3 sun rays, horrible concept.
Looks like something from the Franklin Mint, jmo.

More like a comical rendition, jmo.

Could the model for the coin be this lady?
French actress Michele Morgan (1920-2016) lived in California during World War II and made a few films there.

Silver here, that gold is a little steep.....ok, a lot steep....if it were only prettier...those bulging eyes are not attractive.

Just ordered a silver 2.5 oz medal #USM069730xx
Can't wait to see this in hand!
Count me in for a silver medal #USM069731xx. Call me intrigued.
Not falling in the Mints "medal trap." Just not enough collectors for medals and the mintage is way to high.

Definitely passing on this one.
Both available this AM.

I really do like the reverse but still have not...

Sorry I didn't realize what kind of "messing" you meant lol. The household limit is off as well.
Has anybody received the SHIPPED email from the Mint (actually PFSWeb) ? Au or Ag purchases.
Picture on the COA looks pretty cool unfortunately it doesn't look like the coin.
