I have two extra 2010-P Hot Spring ATB 5oz (collector version) on sale in B/S/T section of the forum (also in my signature listing) my asking price is $500 + shipping cost for both ($70 below my cost for both). I want to give some new fellow collector of the series to get these, if not then I'll sell them locally.

Yes that was the thing with those first 4 high cost. The 5th ended up at the 229 when they first lowered Gettysburg. Thanks for posting

Looks like the price for the next puck coming out this Thursday is going to remain at $154.95. Looking forward to holding this coin soon.

I didn't realize it was this early. I thought it closer to the end of the month

I am doing some room cleaning and found out that I have bought the WM-P ATB coin after all. That's a relief..... which mean I will have to complete this year set.... hehehe. Given the price different for the bullion vs the P-mint is about $20 and the mintage btw the two is not that far apart + each designs have different appeal/advantage btw bullion vs P-mint.... this will be hard for me to decide if I want to just stick to either P-mint (4 more coins to go) or mixing bullion and P-mint coin or get 2 sets (one bullion and one P-mint) - this last option is probably too pricey for me. I may just get a P-mint set and pick a few bullion design that I like (Perry design in bullion version probably not gonna look that nice, the blank field is so much more than other design == more chance for imperfection). What do you all think? P-mint set only OR P-mint set + bullion version (which are your top 3 design for this year 2013)?

My top 3 designs this year are easy...White Mountain - Fort McHenry and the upcoming Rushmore. The Perry isn't bad in either bullion of P. I've actually got all of this years in both bullion and P, my late start to this series has left a lot of holes and I am collecting some extras along the way this year in hopes of selling them in the future to fund hole fillers.

I'd have to say my top 3 are WM, GB, and FM. Since I haven't saw the Rushmore coin yet but I did order it from MCM for $134. It is expected to ship on the 15th. I have all bullion versions of this year all the '11 coins mixed in P and bullion. I think I'm missing 2 from 2010 and only have 2 of the 2012 coins.

When the 2013 silver quarter proof set came out, I thought the FM would have been the standout puck of the year. But I was disappointed when my P-Fort McHenry arrived. The coin was lackluster and didn't 'Pop' like the proof quarter. I would like to check out the bullion version for comparison.
I cannot comment on the Rushmore till it's on my hands, but it has been ordered. I am not expecting much since the Rushmore proof quarter is my 2nd least favorite. The Perry is #1.
To my surprise, the White Mountain is my favorite 2013 P-puck, with the Great Basin in second place.

The Ft McHenery bullion coin is really nice at least the one I have.

I was looking for final designs for 2014 and I could only find the finalists not the final pictures. Have they been finalized yet? Thanks

I felt before they were released and now...WM is far and away the best of the year and sits right up there with the other great mtns: denali and hood. Still hoping next year has some striking finish/design effects which could compete with Gettysburg. Seems like there were a few possibilities: the cabin one with the picket fence and everglades birds. Colorado sands is a maybe: hopefully is doesn't have to play second fiddle to GB/hood-esque. The hiker one is a no-go for me: rarely do people add to the aesthetic of a landscape 5th one doesn't stick out in my memory...

I agree with WM being the nicest of the year so far, I liked that coin souch it is the only one of this year's coins I have in pcgs 69dpml. The others I didn't feel were worth paying for a graded one, although I was close to buying a graded Basin coin.

Seems like there are plenty of 2013 bullion and uncirculated-P to go around, both versions of White Mountain are sold out at the Mint, the bullion is available for the same price as the other bullion 2013s. The WM-P has a modest mark-up over issue price. It's the HTF 2012 coins that are hotly desired and they are a great set of designs, even the Chaco Culture which really popped in the 3-inch puck. By contrast the 2013 designs seem ho-hum and if the best design is White Mountain, that says volumes.

angel - I also went looking and don't see any information on the finalized designs for 2014. They do have some very nice designs planned though.

Thanks Doug. I'm sure they must have decided since they will be striking them soon esp the quarters. I recall the Proofs were out early last year
