Title: U.S. Mint is selling Marine Corp commemorative July 20

This might be an early sellout, I've seen some presale enthusiasm for it.  The coins will be for $35 (proof) and $33 (uncirculated), I think, plus shipping.  Once they're gone expect to see folks selling them for much more on eBay.

I'd recommend the proof coin.

These things went on sale 1/1/2005.  Don't see that there are any available from the US Mint at all now.

That part I agree with.  July 20 isn't until Wednesday.

There are still some USMC commemoratives left, although most of the 600,000 have been sold.

Heres a link showing the coin:

My previous post contained a link showing the Proof version of the coin.  Here's a link showing the Uncirculated (or Mint State) version of the coin:
