Bizybackson Pillar of the Community United States 1817 Posts	Posted 09/25/2012 7:16 pm Buy them if you like them, pure and simple. Nobody knows if these are going to big winners or not. If the series goes for $205 each, the series will cost over $10K, but the $205 pricing is not likely to hold over 42 more issues. Yes, 42, if that number is daunting, best stay away from these "coins." These are not good speculative investments, IMO. Edited by Bizybackson 09/25/2012 7:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
CSOTUS Pillar of the Community 1153 Posts	Posted 07/24/2013 7:32 pm Hate the rez a thread almost a year old but with the price of ATB 5oz now at $140, compared to the $205 the OP paid, I think the original question still remains if this bullion coin will hold any potential numismatic value? I like the designs for the 5 oz, but I have been wondering if it is worth the investment anymore than any other silver bullion (ie buffalo, eagle, rounds, etc). Don't flame for the rez, the OP's question is still relevant today and the same question I signed up to ask on these forums. Is ATB 5oz a decent investment? 30-50k mint doesn't seem very high of a mintage.. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 07/24/2013 7:49 pm These coins have beautiful designs and presentation to help with the marketing. I guess that would also apply in the secondary market, should you need to sell them later on. It's nice to know that they have a backup bullion value, so at least you should have some idea of what you can sell them for, should the need arise. They have obviously been presented so that the owner would consider keeping them for the long term, rather than trade them. However, their value in the future would be largely determined by the spot silver price, which can also have long term volatility. Nevertheless, the decision to buy now is mainly a decision of the heart, (there is lots of other silver products offered), so that may mean there is some numismatic value to be had in the future, though in relative terms, I suspect not much.

welder Pillar of the Community United States 1037 Posts	Posted 07/25/2013 11:57 pm The 5oz ATB pucks are moderately popular and tend to sell well in both forms, the bullion coin, and the Uncirculated (P) version coin. While the proof-like bullion coins are nice, I prefer the vapor blasted P-version myself. My predictions are that the bullion versions will carry a slight premium over spot, while the Uncirculated (P) versions will mild to wild premium depending on the coin. For example, the 2012 P ATB Hawaii Volcano coin in OGP is selling for $550-650, while its siblings minted in 2012 are selling for less than $350. Out of the 3 produced this year so far, the Perry's Victory is my least favorite. And I am not a fan of the Mount Rushmore either. I think these 5oz are worth collecting and the mint has created a niche for these 5oz'ers with bullion and/or uncirculated coin collectors. I'd like to see the Mint produce a .999 Fine Silver coin weighing a kilo. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 07/26/2013 02:38 am The Perth Mint has been producing .9999 1 kilo silver coins for quite some years. Quite a variety of them: proof, reverse proof, colourised, and even genuine diamond studded eyes on Australian native animal images. They are quite popular with Chinese buyers.
