Orders will be limited to five coins per household for the first week of sales. At the end of one week, the United States Mint will re-evaluate this limit and either extend, adjust or remove it. The maximum mintage is limited to 35,000 units. Currently, pricing for the 2011 America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin - Glacier National Park is set at $229.95. As with all products sold by the United States Mint containing precious metals, pricing is subject to change. Orders will be accepted at http://www.usmint.gov/catalog or at 1-800-USA-MINT (872-6468).

The America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coins are collector versions of the coins issued through the America the Beautiful Silver Bullion CoinTM Program. The three-inch uncirculated coins feature the same designs that appear on the bullion coins and the corresponding circulating quarters issued through the America the Beautiful QuartersÂ® Program. The America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coins are struck in .999 fine silver and display the "P" mint mark indicating production at the United States Mint at Philadelphia. To protect the uncirculated finish, each coin is enclosed in a capsule and an attractive presentation case. A Certificate of Authenticity is included.

Bizybackson Pillar of the Community United States 1817 Posts	Posted 10/20/2011 6:29 pm Celticknot is right on the money. Most collectors are eagerly awaiting A25 two days after the launch of NP7 and most likely will overlook this one for now. Won't be a quick sellout as NP8-Olympic has a similar composition and will be released A month later on 11-29. Add the proposed Denali coin for next year (#15) to these two with the same positioning of Mt. McKinley in the back and a Dall sheep in the front, and presto these coins start to look ho-hum and routine. Edited by Bizybackson 10/20/2011 6:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
angel2004 Pillar of the Community United States 2168 Posts	Posted 10/20/2011 11:16 pm One thing I like about these coins is that I have been to so many of the NPs therefore neat for me to want to acquire. I felt the 279 was a little high but the new price makes them a fairer price and I may pick up a few. I was able to get Yellowstone at my local dealer a first strike for $200 so I was happy with that Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12842 Posts	Posted 10/21/2011 02:36 am A Hot Springs UNC sold on ebay a couple days ago for $375 (and the lowest I've see one sell for is $300 or so), so some people are still paying a premium. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qty-1-2010-...em2c60011ed4 Did you pick up the bullion or UNC version, angel2004? I may regret this decision down the road, especially since it will be harder and harder (i.e., costly) to fill in the gaps if I ever decide to do so, especially if they ever sell out and I have to go secondary market. $230 is $50 more attractive than $280, but still, at the end of the year, it's $1150 of overpriced silver. Yeah yeah, I know. I shouldn't be looking at these as bullion, because they're not. But given the price point, it's hard not to. Can't believe I was so excited about getting these pucks in the summertime and now I'm not sure if I want to continue collecting them at all. What a mood swing. Anyone try to sell NP5 for profit and then go back and get a $230 one from the Mint? And I agree w/ Bizybackson - if the obverses start to run together or repeat themselves, that kind of makes for an uninteresting set. Which is a shame because I've very much enjoyed the artwork, layouts, and craftsmanship so far. And who knows - this series may be discontinued by Congress anyway! Maybe I should buy 'em while I have the chance. I'm rather conflicted on this, in case you couldn't tell. I may have already had NP6 if I hadn't spent my entire year's Puck budget on a new water heater last month. Curses! Report this Post to the Staff
Bizybackson Pillar of the Community United States 1817 Posts	Posted 10/22/2011 12:53 pm These 5 oz ATB are in their "sophomore slump" as expected, both bullion and collector versions. There is plenty of time to get NP6, only 13k+ of the 35K mintage has sold as of 10-20, and even NP5 is still available even with the price drop. On the bullion side, the APs only ordered a couple of hundred of the three remaining designs. This is really the ground floor make or break point for this series. Despite what I said earlier about #7 and #8 being similar, the group of ten coins (2010/11) is outstanding collectively in both the 1" and 3" sizes. The changing reverses concept (first started in '98 with the proof platinum coins) has really matured with this series. Grand Canyon and Vicksburg are the breakout designs with verve and imagination, IMO. Some coins with fewer complex details really shine in the prooflike format, whereas #7 and #8's designs would probably benefit from the frosted surface. I look at it this way: $875 for the 5 bullion coins, $1149 for the uncirculated, just over 2K for both for the year. Report this Post to the Staff
