Art1.2 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 The US Mint has announced the very first curved coin in US History. The Baseball commemorative series has a $5 gold piece, a $1.00 silver piece and a 50 cent piece (not sure of the content of that one). I was attempting to get further info from their website to share here but the site is overloaded and telling people to come back later. I'm guessing ordering opened for the Baseball coins today. Any thoughts? Desirable? A "must have'? Who cares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'll order both versions of silver for.myself and a proof clad for dad. Gold is out of my league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 http://www.usmint.gov/batterup/?action=curvedcoin I love coins and I love baseball but I'm not sure I love this idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottO Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 these are curved... they look cool with the ball design though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm very tempted to get a full set of these in both Proof and Unc. I think they might gain in value rather quickly. Plus at this time they'll be unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 The silver dollar should be a winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Yeah I'm tossing around the idea of buying a second set of silver. Would love a gold proof but man.... $450 seems almost too cheap to pass up. It'd be strictly to flip it later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Gold is sold out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Gold is sold out So now the price increases begin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 The gold will be a huge flip. Think about it: gold is rising again, curved coin, AND a super popular subject that crosses several demographics that overlap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Well I placed my order: 1x UNC/Proof Silver 1x Proof Clad (for dad, he's a baseball nut) 1x Proof Gold (hey......maybe someone will bounce a CC or check? Site says backordered so who knows. This IS the government). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Good luck on it. I don't think they'll up the production run but as I recall they do reserve the right to go back and lower the max quantities on orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBobo Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I ordered the uncirculated dollar and half. Both coins have been backordered until June. I can wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 PR70 pieces are actually SELLING for $3k+ Missed that boat. Got to learn to pull the trigger some day (I can count four different examples over the past two years I've lost out on $2k+ profits not only in coins, but stocks).

Jazinta Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 these are curved... they look cool with the ball design though. That's because in that time they did not have the technology to make good flat coins. This is intentional curved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
