OT- US Mint to produce $5 coin honoring baseball

[Maddog]

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.

I'll be getting my Silver Coins Mon or Tues. I got my order in at 12:15PM.

Could someone explain why the US Mint issues new coins with a a face value that is about 95% lower than the cost to obtain the coin? A $5 gold coin that size is absurd. Why not at least make it a $20? Or for that matter, just make it generic commemorative coin, and not legal tender, since it will never be "spent"?

The silver dollars are now sold out. There may be a waiting list for those as well, I don't know.

Correct, Gary.

The Silver Dollars are now on "Waiting List" status meaning "Sold Out" unless there are cancellations.

The Half-Dollars are still available but if you order them through the US Mint but they won't be shipped until June 21st.
