    I bought my 2009 UHR $20 gold eagle for $1200 from the mint….graded as a MS70 from PCGS and thought that was expensive…..Guess what they go for now? Not many things going down in price folks. Sure precious metals are a gamble (palladium for example) but they’re nothing a bad inflation report or unemployment number can’t fix….🤔😉

    The only premium on gold material from the Mint that they may regret are the Bells.

    No one in line yet. One guy standing out there, not sure if he's waiting for the coin or what, but at most there would be one.

    I sold one for minimal over melt a couple months ago. Way more than I paid of course.

    There were about 250 in line for 1 of 500 coins. I’m number 8. Ticket must be redeemed before 2:00 or coin is released for sale to anyone.

    It looks beautiful. Half hour left to see how the online sales go. I don't think it will be difficult at all, but am still seeing some online "Oh NO! The BOTS will take them all" garbage.

    Having fun chatting with the employees. They said they will be a lecture tomorrow on the 1933s with presentations by the chief consul and that the interactor will be handing outside cards with images. Sounds like an amazing show.I wish I had known far enough in advance and made the whole four days of it.

    Man I’m still on the fence. I was wanting one but they actually don’t look as good in the pictures as I expected. For some reason I thought they were proof or proof like.

    I think it’s probably one of the most beautiful coins the USMint has put out in a long time. 15,000 may be a lot to most members here, but when you consider how many that actually is, it’s a pretty small number in my opinion. My guess is when more people see the beauty of this coin and the accompanying medal, they will be a lot more popular than many here think. We shall see. Good luck to those who want one…😉

    The waiting room kept me out for one or two minutes after 12:00 PM. I managed to purchase one but the web site had a snafu where the Review Order button didn't work after I first clicked it without entering the cardholder verification code. I ended up having to reload the page, enter the CVC, and then click Review Order button before it worked. I was worried that there was going to be a nasty surprise with bots taking up all inventory but I managed to get one.

    USM23716XXX

    From what I've seen so far, I really like the design of this coin and medal but this was unpleasantly expensive.

    I dug deep and ordered 1. Got the confo email.
    Added to bag OK, but was a hiccup on Proceed to Pay. So I just went back to the bag and checked out again. It went thru, #23715...
