A little delayed, but my first bullion puck for 2018 just arrived in the mail. Better late than never!

Very nice and great pic. I'm pretty happy with the way both the P and bullion pucks turned out.

Every time I see the Volcanoes puck at my local coin store, I am tempted again, and these ATB pictures do not make it easier to resist.

Got an email from a dealer just now, claiming that the Pictured Rocks bullion is now sold out. Last reported mintage is 20k and I'm glad I pre-ordered as prices are climbing up right now...

Announced in today's Federal Register, the US Mint return policy is updated effective immediately to indicate Quote: The United States Mint reserves the right to limit or refuse a return or to charge a fee for excessive returns. In addition, the Mint reserves the right to suspend accounts of customers with a pattern of excessive returns. Wonder if these "dips" have anything to do with this change? The normal 7 day return window didn't change. I don't see small order returns being refused or fee applied (unless there's a pattern of returns) , but I guess if you're a bulk buyer and decide to return the order it could be.

I understand why they would change their return policy, just surprised it will be directed towards the big boy buyers. Unless they are still allowing this for the big boys and just hitting the big boy " want to be's "......

Got the pre ordered Pictured Rocks 3 weeks after I got the P puck. Usually the other way around, I guess we will see how the next one goes.

More details on the Mint's revised returns policy Quote: U.S. Mint: News Release
United States Mint Updates its Numismatic Customer Return Policy
WASHINGTON - The United States Mint (Mint) announces an update to its Numismatic Customer Return Policy to address the issue of excessive returns.
For many years, the United States Mint has been pleased to offer customers the option of returning any Mint product for exchange or refund within seven days of purchase for any reason and without restriction. A review of customer data indicates that the current unrestricted return policy facilitates the practice of excessive returns, which results in significant additional costs to the Mint.
Effective immediately, the Mint reserves the right to limit or refuse returns from purchasers who demonstrate return rates that exceed two percent. This update does not apply to valid issues of product quality. The Mint will advise in writing customers engaging in the practice of excessive returns with a "first notice" and ask them to review their order history and consider making changes to their purchase practices based on the updated return policy.
The Mint will send customers who continue to either return products for refund or exchange above the normal rate a "second notice" advising that the Mint will no longer accept returns from their account. A continued pattern of excessive returns will result in suspension of the customer's account. Under the modified policy, the Mint reserves the right to charge a fee for excessive returns, but does not plan to implement such a fee at this time.
This minor change will only affect a small percentage of customers. More importantly, it will ensure that the Mint can continue to offer an exceptionally generous return policy with no impact to the vast majority of customers.

Think of the mileage on the 2017 Enhanced sets. Wonder how many times some of those sets went back and forth?
