Just received the New Mexico and Maine AtBs. Both look great. I continue to be pleased with the coins in this series.   |

Nice, clairhardesty! Mine should be arriving in the next day or two and I'm looking forward to them. I agree with you - I very much enjoy the ATB designs and how spectacular they look in the 3" format. As we get deeper into the series, I worry that there are too many [quadruped x] set against [mountain y] (a la Denali, Acadia, Olympia, and possibly the upcoming White Mountain) and that they will start to run together. I am really looking forward to Rushmore... I sure hope they get that one right. In the meantime, I will enjoy my Acadia when it arrives. :) |

But if you love mountains like I do those will be some of the favorites! Also having visited many of the parks and getting the coins brings back happy memories! I just hope pricing hikes don't keep me from buying them

Yeah, I'm a big fan of mountain scenes as well. Looking forward to presenting Olympic, Denali, and Mt Hood next to each other!

If you like mountain scenes, how about Hawaii? Light at the end of the tunnel for a $204.95 price on Monday. Silver seems to have stalled at $34/$35. still keeping my fingers crossed for that!

Just got my Chaco Culture and Acadia in the mail a few moments ago. I will attempt to resist the urge to crack them open until I get home tonight... oh how difficult it will be.
And I'll likely jump on the Hawaii right away, depending on what Ag prices look like they'll do.

I'm going to wait to see back-to-back pics of HI, of bullion and collector versions. I had to do that before buying the +P Mt Hood. If HI looks better in bullion, I'll just buy that. That is the penultimate design which SHOULD have been minted in true proof finish.

Mount Hood looked amazing in either finish, perhaps my favorite design so far. In DMPL the design was rendered very crisply, as it was "simple" it wasn't too surprising that many bullion coins got the DMPL designation. It shows off how good the bullion coins can get when the Mint tries. In the vapor blast finish, it was a completely different coin, almost a 3D effect with the rippling water. This was one design that was hard to pick which to buy, if $ only just allowed one. Hawaii Volcanoes will be just the same way, two vastly different looking coins, each with differing characteristics highlighting different areas of the design. Can't wait. :)

The bullion are currently running 190 with the P versions running 205 but we are dangerously close to the repricing mark for the Ps and the mint may just suspend sales on those at any minute to see if silver is going to stay at 35+ or calm back down

I know. I feel the same about the Mint I have to get a few yet 10 11 and 12 and Hawaii. Hopefully I can still get them at 204. I hadn't purchased any when the price was 279. Too high for me. Thanks for the info!
