Coin will go on sale @ the US Mint at 12:00 pm est.. Price will be $1490.00 ( with today's drop in gold ). It brought the coin down by $50.. Congrats to all who pick up 1.
Reasons i'm not to excited about this piece.... 1. Not proof..... 2. Not U-L-T-R-A High relief.... 3. Cheap mint case its put into... Not solid wood like the beautiful 24k buffalo... 4. 50k is a very high mintage for a $1490.00 "medal" for today's gold prices... ( $400.00 premium ).... 5. The metal looks like a "cartoon" piece.... 6. I'll pass.....
At least the design has a female looking face unlike many of the other coins that have given a decidedly manly look to the head... I'm looking at you Libertad and AGE
This predictably is a popular coin with collectors. I don't know how long it's been on "back order" because I was out most of the afternoon and evening but at 12:00 noon right on the dot on Thursday East Coast USA time this coin was available for purchase. I'm guessing that in about 12 hours time the US Mint will release a statement regarding the rapid sale of this coin. .
Ouch.. not cool. For a $1,500 coin, these never should have gone out the door looking like this. Heard his is far from being the only one like that, too.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOO6CwNFipI [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOO6CwNFipI[/youtube]
