    Of course they put the rest up - cause I bought one. This is the only one of these im in for. The premium is just insane. I must be as well for buying one.

    I bought the 2.5 oz silver just cause I like it as will the kids

    Please forgive the likely basic question, but where do you see the remaining inventory?

    First, you would enter this url in your browser: https://www.usmint.gov/on/demandware.store/Sites-USM-Site/default/Product-Variation?pid=25DSG

    Then, you do a search on this page for "ats". Once the search locates that, the number next to it is what is remaining in inventory. At the very end of the url above is the product code and if there is another coin you'd like to track you would just replace "25DSG" with whatever the other code is.

    If the price of gold was to drop dramatically, many would cancel as they are locked in for almost two months.

    Price of gold doesn't have to drop dramatically. It is already $2K below where these are priced. Now that the other 5K appeared, expect a TON of cancellations as dealers will be able to buy all they want tomorrow directly from the Mint, and there will be no aftermarket for these.

    Just people who want them in OGP who will buy them from the Mint for $2710, and those who want them in slabs who will get them for what dealers offer them for. Likely under $3500.

    Does the HHL increase tomorrow, remain the same at 1, or best of all will it be removed?

    Only 4,500 to be sold now.

    Stay tuned!

    Why you in such a hurry to cancel ? They’re not even being delivered for a couple months. Let them play out, cancel later.

    The direction that I'm headed for the gold.

    I like the design. I'd love to have just this one of the series BUT, the huge premium is weighing upon me. W/this premium, I could see future gold issues in this series having some low numbers.

    I see an error on the Chevy truck on the reverse. The slat grille was used from 1947-1953. However, the windshield should be a split windshield. The one piece windshield wasn’t introduced until 1954 when the grille was also changed to a bullet-nosed type. No big deal.

    It is a big deal like 8TF Morgan, you have to be accurate. If I’m lucky I’ll get one of the wrong windshield variety.

    Same with the Plane, it should be a prop engine, not a modern jet engine. The jet plane looks out of place, maybe they're in the Twilight Zone in that scene? :D

    Yes, the fact that a man is flying is historically accurate...

    If the USM did offer the “second” group of 5,000–they are probably in for a rude awakening with lots of cancellations down the road.
    Again, the USM is botching yet another release.
    Will they please get someone over there in charge that understands demand for these coins and the secondary market.
    Soon they won’t have anyone buying their trinkets.

    To be fair, the advertised mintage was 10,000. Anyone who bought it expecting that less would be made was just speculating.

    The price of bullion being as high as it is makes almost any gold commemorative incredibly expensive. There is a level of sticker shock even without a premium. A guy came into my friend's shop today to buy some silver. He was offered silver eagles for a very reasonable $42 ($3 over) and he debated a long time before buying any because he had paid $32 the last time he bought some and wasn't thrilled at THAT price.

  • OPAOPA Posts: 17,141 ✭✭✭✭✭

    $275 for the 2.5 oz silver medal is outrageous. Makes my 2.5 oz @ $165 silver military medals almost reasonably priced at issue time.

    I don’t get what you’re saying. Superman flying is historically accurate. Next you’ll tell me there is no Santa Claus.

    The Mint discussed this and opted to anonymize the truck somewhat so it's not /really/ a 1952 Chevy. Start at 1:19:05 into the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVdUVJlR3ug

    To be honest, the ATS figures cannot be trusted.
    When the coins goes “currently unavailable” the expectation is they have sold the quantity available.
    But nevertheless it is speculation.
    The beauty of the whole deal is it is RISK free.
    Cancellation costs you nothing but a quick chat or a phone call.

    Lifted. Tomorrow's remaining inventory won't be created by the Mint canceling orders from people violating HHLs. As with all issues other than the Army privy, no reason for the Mint to not allow the Big Boys to buy all they want after the 24 hour order window for individuals.

    It will be removed but that won't help much.

    TBD. I agree that they are insanely overpriced, and can't believe they sold as many as they did. That said, if the Big Boys did not receive an advance allocation, there might be a demand that needs to be filled tomorrow. If so, 5K is not a lot when spread across all the Big Boys.

    What will then remain to be seen will be just how many come back from people looking for a good flip when there turns out not to be one.

    What do you mean "if"? They absolutely did. We all saw it this afternoon.

    Close to 5K were loaded. The sold out by around 1:30 p.m. A short time later, another 5K were loaded and made available for sale. Those weren't the first 5K being cancelled, either by the buyers or by the Mint!!!!

    Except the big boys need to make money. The Mint only sold 10,000 2.5 at $275. Do we think the "big boys" can sell 15,000 at $350?

    And the gold would have to retail at over $3000 to make a lousy 10%

    Still over 13,000 silver and 4600 gold available.

    Sure. But silver wasn't $39.50 per ounce when you bought your silver military medals, and no one had to pay a licensing fee to DC. $275 is pretty much in line for this, given the relatively low mintage, high price of silver, and what the Mint gets for other things, such as the Army privy ASE, let alone the licensing fee.

    Yeah. We'll see. I always thought the gold would be a bust at $5400 per ounce, and wasn't shy about saying it here, although I DID think the silver would be a winner at 25K.

    There was initially a bid under the silver. Now, of course, there isn't. Either no one cares about these, in which case the whole program is going to be a big bust, or they will be gobbled up tomorrow when the HHLs are lifted.

    I agree with you 1,000,000% about the gold. It's what I've been saying all along. $2700 is right around where the secondary market would have been if they sold them for the usual premium.

    As a result, no room for a flip. Even so, if dealers would have bought them from us at $2700 to throw them in a slab to sell for $3500-4000, they will buy them from the Mint tomorrow at that price to do the same.

    TBD. We'll know by this time tomorrow whether or not dealers have any interest. I always thought the Mint was vastly overreaching with the premium, and would be thrilled if they and DC end up with a dud trying to sell $5400 gold into a $3400 market with a 10K mintage.

    Count me out on anything superhero-related. I call them "stupidheros".

    But that's snobbish, I know.

    I guess if you insist on a superhero, and you want the all-American superhero on a coin, you might as well do Superman.

    Superman is actually not very popular among comic super heroes. Batman is more popular. But even he isn't as popular as many of the Marvel superheroes.

    True, but Superman has that old-school charm about him, I suppose.

    And to me, Christopher Reeve will always be Superman.

    But after the Superman and Batman movies of the late '70s and '80s, I completely lost interest in the whole superhero thing.

    Same with Robin Hood and Sherlock Holmes. All have been done to death.

    Superman came out in 1938 at which point Clark Kent was a young adult. That means Kal El landed on earth around 1915. BUT THIS IS NOT HISTORY. The Clark Kent in the new Superman movie should have been 110 years old.

    Superman has been rebooted constantly. The comic and movie Superman is always the same age but simply placed in contemporary times. This coin is an artistic ode to his timelessness NOT RECORDED HISTORY.

    There is not a single "error" with the coin/medal.

    More than 13,000 of the large 2.5-ounce silver remaining. If this was a 2 ounce it could have been designed to fit in a standard PCGS holder (44.9 mm max). Because it is 50.8 mm it requires the bulky oversized holder for those who want them graded.
