I don't think there is more than one press for the 5 inch coins. There is some problem with Apollo saucers being minted that we aren't hearing the whole story on is my take. I bet they don't have any problems making as many ATB pucks that are in demand this year. Maybe it boils down to the dies required for the saucers? |

Same here. No problems at all. I ordered a roll of the -S quarters too, which really should be included in the mint sets.

Just got an email stating my Lowell puck subscription shipped. 10 to go...
It's probably about time to start thinking of a display case for these guys. I've seen some really cool handmade ones out there.

I need five (one for my quarters collection and four for mint sets for me and each of my three children). That puts me at $5.00 in premium. A -S roll costs $18.95. What I've started doing is buying the rolls, going through them to find the best five examples and then keeping the rest for trade bait. |

It can be a little less if you wait until the end of the year and get all 5 coins at once. I've found that I can usually get them for 50-75c each from dealers at my local coin shows though. They buy them in the 100 coin bag at a cost of 35c each.  Edited by BadDog

I was born in Lowell so I would love to get one of the 5 oz. It is not in my budget right now but hopefully later this year.

When you need more than one of each design, the rolls begin to make more sense.  |

Opening sales for Lowell P were 12,734 which is the lowest for quite some time. Opening sales for the first 'puck' to be released in the year were 14,363 in 2017 and 13,952 in 2018, respectively.
