The coin is the same size as a 1/2 ounce Gold Buffalo and twice as thick but the box is four times larger. Everything is beautiful and my only desire would be for a larger version of this coin.

The Mint’s updates on UHR order status have been timely, as far as I’ve seen. And the technical challenges undertaken to produce this coin cannot be sold short. If anything, as you point out, the very delays that cause concern now will later be a source of satisfaction for those who did order the coin and thus will be among the few “lucky enough to hold such a beautiful coin in their hand.” Most signs still indicate a significant increase in gold prices this year. That, together with the beauty and expected scarcity of the UHR, more than validates the decision to invest in one. Kudos to the Mint for updating and reissuing one of American’s loveliest coins.
