5 Ounce America The Beautiful National Park Silver Quarters

I love these more than the Silver Proofs I just purchased. Why do they have to use the weak obverse on the normal coins? These look stunning.

Just an FYI regarding NGC Early Release cut off date....It was previously mentioned that the coin package had to be "postmarked" by February 14th which is incorrect.

It has to ARRIVE at NGC by the 14th....PCGS requires it normally to be postmarked by their cut off dates (none for this issue)

I agree I think the price is getting down to a "fair" level. It's a lot of silver and some gorgeous designs!

what other companies are selling them besides APMEX and amark which seem to be out. I would like to own them but To me anything over 1k is not worth it, I would rather pick up another roll of the 2011 silver wolves or even the 2011 silver bear when its available. Still low mintage and 25 oz of silver ;)

Hey B, I tried really hard to search that monster thread. 420 pages, well, I got through many but holy cow! I did see something similar as well, but the mark was much longer in the CU forum. Thank you for bringing the information to my attention! I have learned much from the comments. I have since moved on. My most recent set that arrived today was REALLY nice. Four out of the five Amark coins were quality. I have a few weeks to wait for some other sets to arrive and then I will be sending at least eight coins to PCGS under the subscription program if they will except them for the gold membership. Good luck on yours! Let us know how it turns out and I will do the same.

Okay I don't normally do this but here goes. I heard that ANACS has graded a set of these MS70 and they will be offered tonight (early Tuesday morning) on the Home Shopping Network's Coin Collector show at midnight Pacific Time. I'm not an advocate of the HSN or it's Coin Collector show because their prices are usually ridiculous, but this might be worth a look if you're a night owl.

I finally got my ATB 5oz quarters from A-mark.

They are prettier then I had hoped. I went through them quickly under a 10x loop and I only saw polishing marks. I will try to get them up on the forum here in a while. Wow the Mint did a wonderful job and I am certainly very happy with A-Mark in their packaging. For those on the fence, my vote is once you have the coins in your hand it would be very hard to say no. Now I realize that we all have budgets, but I paid under $1000 and I think they are worth it. My next decision is to determine if I should grade them. I will cross that path once I get the photos up.

You don't need 50 posts to post images on CCF. Scans are generally not good so try to use your camera.

A-Mark pieces were not cherry-picked and most people have been happy with them. Spots to check include the rims and outer edges on the 'park' side. Best of luck!
