The U.S. Mint product page, located here, is one way for collectors to place an order upon the coin’s launch.

On Thursday, August 16, collectors can buy 2012 Benjamin Harrison Presidential $1 coins in bags, rolls, and boxes. These strikes will not get minted in quantities to enter public circulation via the Federal Reserve Banking System, but have instead been produced to meet collector demand.
