Quote: I still have fond memories of obtaining the first bullion release in 2010... Likewise. Quote: and now it's all over. Sad or happy? I'm not really sure. But I think the fiscal officer inside my head is happy now. :) Also likewise.

A quick check on ebay shows that the Effigy Mounds one is available in OGP w/ COA for around $225.

Apologies for dredging this topic up but I feel like it's a decent revisit, particularly with jbuck's most recent comment: Quote:Everyone who stacks silver deserves to profit.. even the Mint!  That and with current silver spot, and that it's been just over 5 years since the last Proof puck was issued (Tuskegee), it's a good time. Speaking of stacking, I never thought of this collection of Proof ATB pucks a stack by any means. I stack other silver but the US Mint premiums on these didn't makes sense for stacking. However, given current silver prices, has anyone besides me started to consider their collection of Proof 3-inch ATB pucks a stack? Not gonna lie, when Ag was $100+, it was tempting. Given the fun I had collecting them over the years and contributing to this topic, that would be a tough transition for me. But hey, the memories (or at least my spreadsheet) would still would be there, and that physical silver could be converted into a lot of useful things in the here and now. Just thinking out loud I suppose. Has anyone else liquidated their P-Pucks? Or thought about it, at least?

I never had an actual collection. But in 2014 I bought 2 each of the first four issues. I was spending quite a lot (more than I should've) on coins and silver in the first half of the 2010's. I didn't get the final 2014 issue (Everglades), because that November my job of 25 years went belly up / locked the doors for good. And I ended up selling all eight of those ATB 5-ouncers. C'est la vie

Thanks for sharing, @Victor_Ze. Sorry to hear about your job (back then) and hope you have since been able to get back into collecting.

I have 7 numismatic pucks, from 2014, 15, 16. Paid the issue price of $149.95. Stopped the subscription and instead directed those $150 chunks on a regular basis into my kid's 529 plan. In Janury 2026, I looked at ebay sold prices for the pucks and they were in the $495 - $550 range + shipping. Their "melt" value at $80 / oz is roughly $2,800. Did not consider selling them.

I wish I had started buying these 'back-in-the-day' but now it is probably a bit too late to start.

I bet half of these have been melted with the recent run up in silver

Quote: I bet half of these have been melted with the recent run up in silver Wouldn't surprise me either. That then begs the question, does that potentially increase numismatic value towards silver spot as they get more scarce? Pretty sure that question has been posed elsewhere.

I don't believe there were any proof 5 oz ATB Quarters, I have a few of the uncirculated and bullion ones, and wouldn't mind picking up a couple more I had an interest in and missed if anyone is ever looking to get out at around spot.
