But once the bomb made it's appearance we would not have even attempted a land invasion so the point is moot.
Sorry, we disagree again. The fact the Japanese didn't surrender after Hiroshima only reinforced the idea that an invasion was inevitable.

If the coup had been successful they would have been over thrown when the third or fourth bomb had landed.
We only had two - after Nagasaki there were no more.

The US certainly prepared for it. Thousands of troops and many ships were to embark from Rough and Ready Island, up river at Stockton, California, for the assault. Travel time from SF to Yokohama would have been about 15 days.

Not exactly true. We had four of them. One was Trinity, one was Little Boy, one was Fat Man and the fourth was unused.

After that we had no more sitting in storage but making more was quite possible.

There was one more bomb and Col. Tibbets had sent three B-29’s back the United States to bring it out to Tinian. However, General Groves (The head of the Manhattan Engineer District) had ordered all shipments of atomic weapons to the Pacific halted for several days to see if Japan would surrender.

At the same time, the scientists at Los Alamos were working to construct new bombs are rapidly as possible. They would have had anywhere from 4 to 10 completed by the end of 1945.
