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.

The Gold Proof and Gold Uncirculated coin are "Sold Out."

There is no longer a "Waiting List."

I have one "In Reserve" but it won't be delivered until July.

I actually went on the day they started selling them and the silver were already on back order. I still placed an order and was told delivery might not be until July/August.
