Here we go! Finally saw the folding some people were talking about. Couldn't really get a great picture from my phone since it's only visible at certain angles.  Sorry, didn't correct the WB  Hit above "STATES"  Hit to the left of "ARKANSAS"  Either way, I'm happy with it. (Now only if my set from prudential would get approved...  ) I think I may follow through all the way with this set. I'll admit my original intentions were 50/50 on keeping them or selling, but after having them in hand, I'm beginning to actually like them. |

With the price of silver trying to find a new bottom the $279 price is $115 over spot. It will be a while before the next one sells out....
The new bullion 2011's are below $200 at Gainsville ($191 cash/$196 Credit) so less than $400 for the pair

For those concerned about a nick or the packaging, keep in mind these are bullion coins. When you put the garbage out, you don't gift wrap it.

Rsxtacee, it has a clean shot at MS68 if it were strictly graded. Since these are new, a generous grader might even give it a MS69, as the "hits" are very minor, unlike the bullion coins where scratches, dings and other imperfections could clearly be seen in the mirrored surfaces. If that were my coin, I'd be happy with it as well.

Do you think that the Mint will rethink it pricing on the bullion coins (P mint mark)and lower the price? I guess they can not do it for Yellowstone since they have it already placed for May 17th with a price of $279.95, but what about the others. Especially if Yellowstone does not sell out right away. Why doesn't it set it to spot price of silver like it does on its gold coins.

A federal law requires the Mint to post changes in the price of silver products in the Federal Register, which can take a few weeks. The mint is much more able to adjust the price of gold products than silver because there is no such requirement for gold.

Thanks Buffalo sounds like the answer. What do you think about $279 for the Yellowstone coin are interested or do you think sitting it out?

I was originally going to sell my Hot Springs for a quick buck, but I decided to keep it. I will probably buy this one too and hold onto it. There may be better investments, but at only 27k minted I have to believe that the price will stay relatively steady in comparison to spot in the near future. Past that I have no idea.

I am in the same boat, I plan on buying the Yellowstone, Grand Canyon and Yosemite but beyond that I do not know. I will tell you this I will not be in such a panic to get through as I was for the Hot Springs. I tried for nearly two hours of straight dialing just to find out that it did not sell out in day one. I think there will be less interest this time because of the price of silver and the 2nd edition.

The mint plans to add the 5oz numismatic coins to their bullion flexible price listings soon. It won't be done in time for the next release however. |

That's fantastic! (except for the fact it won't be in time for this next release).

That is good news to hear BH. Do they have a timetable has to when they plan on implementing this flexible price listing. I hope they don't plan on selling all the 2010's at $279, because that will probably be to rich for my blood, in current presentation package as well.

Jellystone is a much more popular park than hot springs. even at the same price/mintage, more of the public will eventually want one.

Good point, once the Mint gets past the set of initial parks, the interest should taper off exponentially. It's going to be difficult to get excited about Homestead, Bombay Hook or Weir Farm, etc., and half a dozen other little known sites, unless the designs are absolutely arresting. The Mint really has their work cut for them. Might probably go the way of the First Spouses, a series no one wants to collect every single issue. |

I find the ATB coins very beautiful, and I am working on the entire collection over the next ten years. That's my number 1 coin goal. I also am getting the silver proof sets from each year, starting with 2010, which contain five of the ATB coins released that year, and so forth. Fun stuff! -Devin |
