I guess we should all be thankful for the $20,000 Liberty Bell gold coins. They were so expensive and unpopular enough that they might have scared off the speculators on buying this coin.
These are outside my budget but I at least had to take a peek. I looked at the website 1 minute after release and there was no waiting room. Just the coin sitting there with the big red add to bag button all lit up. Definitely not like yesterday's release when I took a peek and was slapped into a 30 minute waiting room.

My order has now moved to "processing" 4 down, 1 to go!
Mine shows on AI hold, but my card has been used very recently for Morgan / Peace $s OK. And I never got a request for verification from DSCV/Cap1. May just be temporary. I DID put the valid security #.
(Glad "POST" didnt work just now ... just got the confirmation email. ... also - Processing.)

Mine went thru, got the confirmation email. Never ordered directly from the mint before but, when do they usually charge your card?
They charge your card when they ship the product.
really? cuz my acct is $5740 lighter 🤔
Yes, I think so. I think the U.S. Mint puts a test charge or something on your card but it's not really charged yet. I'm quite certain of this because of the craziness with the first year issue of the new Morgan and Peace dollars where product wasn't shipped for months after ordering. Between the time of ordering and the time of shipping, my card expired and I was worried that my order would get cancelled.

AI HOLD will vanish in a few minutes. That's a step most don't see.
I just realized I didn't get free shipping with this order. I remember the days when ordering a one ounce gold coin from the Mint guaranteed free shipping.

On the payments page, the cheapest option is around $14. I selected that one. Once I received the email, it says shipping was free
I was going to go to Philly mint to get one but was not feeling to perky this morning so I decided to take my chances online. No problem. I just wondered if anyone went to the Philly mint and if they got one there?

I guess I haven't bought enough items from the Mint as I've been charged $9.95 for shipping. I don't buy much but for this year, I've bought every one of the Best of the Mint gold coins issued so far.

honestly now im more confused lol
I dont even think shipping as low as 9.95 was available when I was checking out
and also sounds like you've made more purchases from the mint than I have this year

Still Available to ship & not backordered. Noticed the BOM 24K 1916 Half is backordered now
The product page makes no mention of a backorder at this time, but if you attempt to put one in your cart and checkout you get a message "This product is currently on back order and is estimated to ship on Wed Sep 02 2026."
Maybe $5740 for the silver & gold set isn't so pricey if this seller rehomes their $1550 silver ounce medal ?
IN OTHER USMINT news:
My last two Mint returns took 1 month & 3 days to credit a few minutes ago.
I called earlier today, second time, last time two weeks ago and was told that they are running up to two months behind on returns, you know instead of 3 to 5 days goal.
The Mint store for me from here on out. It was fun and easy. Plenty of time to look w/a loupe. Could have easily switched if not a good coin. Have 7 days to return for immediate refund.

Question: Where is the nominal face value $ on the gold coin? I thought any coin should have one otherwise it will not be called "coin"!

EXCELLENT! So you did grab one after all. I hope it looks as good in person as the first photos show.

How does one find the ATS amount?

See the link in a post near the bottom of the previous page.
edit -
and search for "ATS"

5721 ATS. Volume is slowing down, Do they all go today???

what's up w the moiré cheek warbles? visible on all photos of coin obverse so far to varying degrees

Must be munching on Pistachios!
I’m surprised it’s not sold out yet 😜
it will go the way of the 2026 PR Buffalo. It will sell out. maybe not in 12 hours but it will be gone.
They charge your card when they ship the product.
will the non-instant-sellout-ness of BOM4 prompt them to cut mintage limit on BOM5? 🤔
Not even close...just about half the allocation sold so far.
My order has now moved to "processing" 4 down, 1 to go!

Confirmation email recieved:
somewhat reasonable price!
Finally a mint product I look forward to
No. They've already (yesterday) posted 15,000 mintage of that
5362 ATS as of 12:24

I didn't read this entire thread -- is there a reason they only had a little over 11,000 ATS today? What happened to the other ~4K?
ah youre right this is sounding familiar now - was also in a similar situation previously
yeah im aware of that but the mint has been flying fast and loose this year more than most so I wouldn't put it past them
Still available 12:40, did they stop the bots, or just no upside?

I didn’t see any buy offers for these, so unlikely anyone had bots lined up to buy them.
They ping it. But if they don't ship soon, it drops off.

No immediate upside
