Note: these coins are going on sale tomorrow, Thursday the 27th.




WASHINGTON-New feedback that indicates extremely strong demand for the 2014 National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coins, and a commitment to satisfy all customers, has prompted the United States Mint to impose new household ordering limits. The coins go on sale at noon Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) March 27.

The household order limits are:

Proof and Uncirculated $5 Gold Coins - 50 coins each
Proof and Uncirculated Silver Dollars - 100 coins each
Proof and Uncirculated Clad Half-Dollars - 100 coins each

1. I waited for 1 1/2 hours in a web queue

Never seen anything like this at the us mint website.

This might be their biggest product issue ever.

I know they are going to sell out but how long will it take?
