@Bizybackson: When you said "the bullion coins this year are probably sleepers", do you mean the -P collector version?

Yes, absolutely. Technically per the Mint's calendar, the year is over, meaning it is highly unlikely they'll mint more of the uncirculated 2015 pucks, just sell off the remaining inventory they have in Memphis. I really doubt they minted to the max (30,000) of Homestead, which is a few hundred shy of 20,000. They use a cautious approach when forecasting sales every other year it seems. Since both Blue Ridge and Bombay Hook P's are limited to 20,000 uncirculated pucks this makes them a good buy compared to their bullion counterparts.

I was hoping to save $4.95 by combining ATB P pucks III & IV on Thursday, but since there appear to be only 92 (89 now because of my order) of the Blue Ridge Parkway left I decided to play safe. I won't gamble on the next one though and better place my order on Thursday. For once, the US Mint has listed the correct mintage of 20k max.

^ If you try to add 100 to your basket you will see that now are only 72 left in stock - at the moment... And since I doubt they will mint more I assume once those 72 are sold that's it!

I love how the birds are turning out on these recent issues.. I just feel so guilty buying 5 oz silver coins knowing spot prices have not given any signs whatsoever of going down.
Bummer :/ The mint really needs to get their prices in line with gold and silver prices.

Just got notification that my Bombay Hook bullion puck has officially shipped from APMEX. As mentioned earlier, I got it for $92.56 paying by CC, and it is now selling for $127.50. I'm a happy camper!

omxfl: Good catch, thanks. Didn't think BRP would be the first to go, so placed my order for two just now. The selling window is pretty short, barely three months, just like some of the 2012-Ps. Down to 66 coins, the rest will probably be gone in combination orders when the Bombay Hook-P drops tomorrow afternoon. Took no chances on missing out of the BRP.
