I did place my order today. This is the first commemorative coin I have ever bought from the MINT.

I can't believe that people are able to sell these for a premium on ebay even as a presale when people could just go to the site to buy one (I saw some Gold ones sell for $100 on ebay).

None of the Gold Coins have sold for $100.00.

Also, some people don't like to buy directly from the US Mint.

Sorry I meant $100 over the price of Gold Coins being sold directly from the US Mint.

Are you guys able to buy it? I keep trying to buy it from the MINT website and it brings up a new page saying high volume of traffic, waiting room? Really?

Just placed order and no wait (waited over an hour yesterday just to get booted out), FYI-the Gold Five Dollar appears to be sold out, which may account for the high ebay value.

It wasn't sold out yesterday when I posted that about the prices. It was actually selling for more prior to the Mint selling them. Even then I got in yesterday at noon and they were available, then I checked out of curiosity at around 4pm and they were still available. People just don't look outside their comfort zone apparently.

As far as I know, the gold coins ARE sold out - but the Mint is still accepting orders, which they'll put on a waiting list in case any orders already placed don't go through - but I believe the waitlist is first come, first served, so my guess - and that's all it is, just a GUESS - is that at this point it would be a waste of time to get on the waitlist.

The silver dollar and clad half dollar are still available.
