Buy one of each and create your own 3-coin set since they don’t seem to be inclined to do so at the mint.

I said yesterday that I’m going to buy 3. I’ve changed my mind. I’m only going to buy one to keep for myself. The high mintage is a big turnoff for me. I’ll just buy one and see what else the Mint has coming in the future.

In reply to Tim T.. It's too bad that Congress has no imagination (like getting rid of the penny or minting the anniversary dime (and quarter and half dollar) in silver or supersize to 1 oz silver or palladium since if I understood correctly that's back in the mix). Or not much imagination at the mint deputy director level by doing practically nothing to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the silver or gold American Eagle or the 10th anniversary of the gold buffalo.

Joe C. –

I noticed also that the bands don’t appear to be separated fully when I enlarged the U.S. Mint photos from 3 different sources, but these are struck twice the Mint stated (but not Proofs of course) so hopefully it is just the low quality of their photo. Like you said, these special gold dimes should have full split bands as designed originally in 1916.

Jp –

Yes, I am in for 3 (one for me & one for each of my 2 older nephews – the two younger ones don’t get these from Uncle Seth since they might open them like a crazy kid on their birthday & damage them & I might have a heart attack on the spot!)
I think the 10-coin per household limit will keep it from being a quick sellout, but they are beautiful & low-priced gold coins & will sell out, especially if the Mint lifts the household limit after a few days (they said they will monitor sales figures daily to determine if they would do that.)

Happy collecting everyone!

I’m in, although I don’t like the high mintage. I think I’m going to buy 3. The Mercury dime is my favorite coin – so I will always keep one, and possibly sell the other 2 someday. I thought about buying a few more but I want to save some money and see if the Mint has a surprise for us later in the year – like a special Silver Eagle 30th anniversary set. I’ve been reading CoinNews.net for a couple of years now and this is my first comment. I really appreciate all the info Mike – and it has helped me make some smarter buying decisions.

Richie-
Pretty strong opinion on a 2 hour sell out… how many are you buying? Remember the “Minnow” went on a 2 hour cruise and that lasted how many years? LMAO
I agree though, this will be a sell out (high price and mintage) notwithstanding, I think it will be sold out before the next coin comes up in the series.
Count me in for 3. I think Seth said he was on board for 3. Anyone else???

I noticed the image of the reverse does not show full split bands. Being gold, you would think the coin would be fully struck with full split bands. C’mon, mint. Adjust the striking pressure to achieve FULL SPLIT BANDS!

These will sell out in under 2 hours. IMHO.
The dealers will buy them up for resale

HOLY SHIZZLE!! Gold is $1231 right now, which means this damn thing is going to be $205. Only what $70 over what a 1/10 Eagle costs.
