I heard that they will stop minting these very soon maybe they already did. Then they will declare the mintage and then they are going to release another one. Will be like a series I guess......

I read the same thing. Last week of production. Cant find the site that mentioned it though. Thought it was a ploy for the site to sell off their stock before price dips further. In the wording on these I thought it was print on demand but maybe not. Good call. Limit production to help future sales. |

Even if, there will be plenty to go around - it's a MEDAL after all. These will be worth less per ounce of silver than the average ATB 5oz bullion puck a few years from now. That's just my opinion, of course. I just saw an antique finish one on ebay ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/321769652952) - probably home-made, but it suits the design rather well I think:  Edited by omxfl

Oh I like that antique finish. Looks more like an old pirate coin. My son wouldn't have a problem believing it was from our pirate ancestors :P

Read this on another forum-
I sent an email to Provident asking about the discontinuation of the Privateer and this is their response:
"The best light that I can give you at this time is that the rumors are true, and that the Elemetal 2 oz Privateer Ultra High Relief Silver Round will no longer in production after June 12th. The second version will be announced soon."
A series. Cool!

Saw this on another board. Posted by a new member (1 post), no source given.
It infuriates me that people are being so secretive about the Elemetal Privateer 2oz round's. The 2oz high relief coin / round is designed to push the relief depth, and design limits of what a STACKABLE coin / round can achieve. Other 2oz high reliefs are splash minted that requires the round to have no reed's, no rim to protect the art work, and very little detail almost flat on one side.
Back to the Privateer, This was designed as a Series coin. The first Privateer coin / round showed that relief depths are not bound to the standard STACKABLE 39mm or 40mm limits. Each design in the series will be unique in that they will be each pushing different limits of the ability to go further in luster, detail, depth, design, etc..... Because of this release dates don't work well.
Just to clear the air. On June 12th all orders from all dealers / customers have to be placed with the Mint. This means that after June 12th all orders will be filled and that's it for the reverse. The skull obverse will be common in the series, and the reverse will be shown / announced around the same time.
(TEASER) There is another series that is totally different getting ready to launch. Why these rounds are not being marketed nor explained fully is a mystery to me too. I have said all I can at this point hope it shines a little light.

So earlier in this thread there were some links to airtight holders that will fit this coin. Has anybody successfully encased this coin yet? I'm looking for a good airtight for this thing but the thickness is the issue.
