5 Ounce America The Beautiful National Park Silver Quarters

You cannot go by the wire price. Unless you're planning on spending the $2000.00 minimum for a bank wire while ordering them. Provident has the best price, as you can save the money by sending a check or money order without a minimum purchase amount.

I did cancel my A-Mark order for the 2011 2-pc slabbed set. At $48 silver a week ago that price could be justified (especially with Credit Card orders) but at $36 I can't do it.

Fortunately A-Mark is gracious about accepting cancellations. : )

And yes, the numismatic version of the 2010 Hot Springs coin still looks fine to me at $285.

Mine shipped today also....did not pay for expedited shipping..still shipped UPS next day air

Good read on ATB 5oz coins



All well and good, but calling something a "bullion coin" is no guarantee that coin collectors are going to consider it to be a "must have" item for their coin collection.

A significant % of buyers are not collecting these at all. They're either taking advantage of being able to buy them for less than scrap value, gambling for high TPG grades, or hoping to flip them for a substantial profit.

There are only two ways to make money on these, higher silver prices or genuine collector interest. While 33,000 doesn't sound like many, how many collectors (end purchasers) are going to try to assemble a complete set of coins that's likely to cost over $10,000, even as bullion?

I look for true collector demand to be closer to that of a series of medals than a series of coins. If that's the case, 33,000 is a huge quantity.

Just recd email shipping confirmation from the mint on the single.

I recd an email that mine is on the way this morning.
