Yep. If you had fun trying to order November 5'th, getting banned, blocked, and shut out....you're in for a treat
as the mint repeats this same act today Nov 9'th, just hours away...another gold coin and a silver medal.
These coins signify the end of the war but may be remembered as the Website Wars of 2020.

Haven't seen offers on this so I don't know if I'll be buying. They won't have the same popularity as the American eagles as one is a medal. What are peoples thoughts on these?

Well, there are the fresh designs for one thing. The gold will be smaller, maybe a bit more affordable and the silver medal might be a nice one to collect. But then again, are there that many medal collectors? These may linger on the site for awhile.
I think the only thing going for them is that the gold is a coin, not a medal and both have low mintages.

If the Mint wants to call me, I’ll gladly tell them what they can do with those Nov. 9 items.
I'm in for the next beating, silver...

Haven't seen any real interests in the silver medal. Bet the gold will go fast though.

Don't think much of the silver medal, not very much craftsmanship, JMO. Certainly not worth the 5th fiasco. "Remember, Remember the 5th of November". From V for Vendetta.

Gold with small mintage a winner ,nice design

The proliferation of these "instant rarities" will devalue just about any and all coins having low mintages, both old and new.
You heard it here first.
I knew it would happen.
A it different the Eagle was a guaranteed lottery ticket. This commem you can actually lose money if you can't do a pre-sale.

No thanks. I learned my lesson yesterday. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

I will not be participating in this round.... got mauled on the 5th.... Cheers, RickO
Me too. Enough's enough.
If people start wearing "Ban Ryder" buttons at upcoming coin shows, I wouldn't be the least surprised.

It would be more interesting if the mintage on the gold was also 1945 so they would be a set.
Now that someone mentioned the claw looks like an arm, I can't get that out of my head when I look at it!
The artist was holding an olive leaf branch as a model and sculpted his arm by mistake.
Well I am not gonna be looking at any more photos of bicycles and boats.
I figure that I get 90 percent of my collecting happiness from classic coins. I get 90 percent of my hobby aggravation from dealing with the Mint. Guess which one is going bye-bye....

I bet it’ll be similar traffic but we will see. Since I got the v75 when I wasn’t planning on it, I’ll skip the medal.
I'm not going to get one. They hurt my feelings telling me I was banned when I tried to get the 75th anniv. gold.
I'm very sensitive.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
I collect the proof ASE but this gold coin is sort of a one off (the one coming out Monday.). My wife wants me to go for it.

Bwahahahaha.
I was cool and calm while I held to my pledge to boycott the mint since somewhere around 2007. Haven't been to the usmint website since then.
Youse guys that want to play the flippin' game deserve the drama.
I don't wanna hear the whining that you didn't score. The real professionals don't whine on this forum.
All for fake rarities.
