Got 1 just now. Price was a bit high but with the mintage of 27k who knows what these will do. Think having the P MM on a hockey puck will drive prices up?

As far as I know the mint had a production problem and could not make the large coin without a new press that did not arrive until 2011. Wonder what they used to strike the huge high relief medals they've been making for the last century or so? |

Any way to know if you are the waiting list or if you will be receiving the order from the mint?

It gets confusing because no one is being clear what they are talking about and they have been discussing different issues. The OP was talking about the 2011 bullion issues. What everyone has been talking about when they say they just ordered have been the 2010 P collector issue. The 2010 Bullion set had a mintage of 33,000. The 2010 P collector pieces have a max mintage of 27,000. The 2011 bullion has no limit on its mintage, and I don't know what the max mintage if any will be on the 2011 collector pieces. Quote:

Maybe the high tonnage medal press couldn't be retrofitted to handle the segmented collar needed for the hockey pucks. May also have just been too slow for the number of pieces to be coined. Or it may just have been they needed a second press to handle the production demand and they are using the medal press. |

The original plan was for a total of 50K bullion pucks...then they added the P puck and dropped the mintages to 33k/27/k
2011 bullion pucks mintage is "to demand"
2011 P pucks...who knows but I bet 50k...

Don't know what the final mintages on the 2011 pieces will be. 126,500 each initially for Gettysburg and Glacier. The Mint could restart minting of any of the 2011 designs at any time during the year based on demand. The 2011P collector versions easily over 50K each if they estimate demand over the ordering frenzy over the Hot Springs coin yesterday.
