ATB Five Ounce Silver Coins

Are the 2012 Chaco Culture Silver Bullion Coins being sold now, I thought I saw this coin came out recently to dealers, but I don't see it being sold anywhere?

Thanks Bizy! I saw APMEX is asking $159 right now. I checked Provident and still nothing there. I think I will wait and see what Provident will be asking.

Yep, add me to the list of folks waiting for Provident. The only thing I worry about, though, is the fact that silver prices seem to be going up again and the "lock in" price is getting higher and higher the longer I wait...

I just picked one up from Provident for $163.70 ( s&h included in that price )

Has anybody picked up a Chaco Culture Silver Bullion coin yet? Just wondering how it looks to you if you did already receive one. Still waiting for my order to clear from the check I sent to Provident.

I just got notification that Provident has shipped my Chaco Culture bullion coin. Hopefully, I will have it in hand within the next few days.

Chaco is my least favorite of the 5 designs of 2012. Gonna be a make or break year for the series as a whole. People that bought the coins in 2010 and 2011 are sitting on the sidelines on the 2012s. Most of the recognized name parks have been issued, the Mint is starting to dig deep into the Tier two parks/sites, a couple more years, the unknowns will start being issued. If Ag doesn't break out this year, the Mint will be hard pressed to sell 20K of the El Yunque bullion, maybe 15K of the Chaco and Acadia, and under 10K for the last two bullion releases. The APs are reluctant to tie up cad in these slow moving pucks.

The collector coin has a similar uphill battle, too many coins this year at 25,000 each, and still too high of a premium. If these are made next year, expect a smaller mintage, perhaps 15,000 or a mint to demand window. I'll pick up Chaco when Acadia debuts or when Ag starts inching past $33/oz., whichever comes first.

I like that the premium is under ASEs.
