I am. Goes right after my state series. Mint sets (I live 9 miles from the Philly mint). Sometimes I drop my wife off at work and drive the 17 blocks to the mint. Park on the street next door (north side) and go in. Need the silvers for the states, though.

Not today, next week after all the A25 frenzy dies down. As much as I am proponent of the pucks, gotta get my hands on those hot little silver eagles in a day and a half. Glacier was my least favorite design of the five this year, so that helped.  |

I'm thinking about buying one for my husband for Christmas. I know still quite a bit over spot but that price decrease from 279 got me thinking

Bizybackson - funny, Glacier is my favorite. Of course, it helps that Glacier National Park was just over an hour west of where I grew up, so I spent a LOT of time there.

Like Bizybackson, I have to wait till next week or so due to tomorrow's release.
I have them all so far and plan on continuing the series. The mint has been getting
way to much of my money lately.

At least the price came down. I didn't buy them when they were 279. Just too much cost. But now I think I might. I was able to pick up the yellowstone coin for 211 a few weeks ago and these 3 for 229 so I will just need 3 more to have them all.

NP7 arrived today. Safely stored away in the original UPS packaging. Note to self, don't forget to write NP7 on the outside of the box. :)

so you don't check to make sure the item is correct?

acloco: I always gotta open those boxes marked from Plainfield, just to make sure there's not a brick inside ya know? Not likely that's ever gonna happen, but I gotta admire my new acks before putting them away. I suppose you're storing every single one inside their sealed shipping boxes?
Finally got around to ordering NP7 today, and got another NP6 for good measure, after ascertaining that two of my single set A25 orders were moving along the process. Storage for these pucks are definitely a problem, they seem to be rolling around everywhere and multiplying! So far I've just corralled them into trays by year, a storage cabinet is in the works for them soon.

Just wondering how are they packaged from the mint?

Outside shipping box dimensions are approximately 5.5" wide, x 3" tall, by 10" long. So, as Bizybackson pointed out, storage is an issue.
Believe these are going to be stored in the back of the top shelf of my gun safes...should be good for about 30 of them. Not sure what to do after that.

Since I have limited space in the bolted down fireproof safe in the basement, I forgo storing the coin in its OGP, much less the shipping boxes they came in. I am having made an internal storage frame made for the 7" x 14" trays that are about 9/16th" high for at least 12 trays, so the entire collection can fit in there if need be. Tubes are not the answer and neither are rolling the coins. As for the OGP, they go in a separate box located elsewhere. For my non-collecting family, each box has a picture of the coin inside the holder it used to hold, courtesy of the numerous gift catalogues the Mint sends out every year, or if its an older coin, from an old copy of the Red Book. |

Well I did end up ordering on. I've visited most of these NPs so far so a double interest for me. Number 8 will be soon and another I've visited so surely I want to obtain it as well.

I'd actually put in an order for all the remaining P ATB. For the 2010 P versions, I bought extra Hot Spring, Yosemite, Mt. Hood and I am looking to sell those extra now. The problem with selling on ebay is the fee, you need to sell for about $350 to just break even.... so if I put them up here for sell at $300 then the buyer save $50.... should I do it? |

Do you need the money? If not I think I would wait. I had heard that 1 or 2 of those first few commanded higher price but I don't know which. With silver down now I think you will only sell the 2 still not available for sale on the mint site. Hood is out there for 229 so I don't know if you pd 229 or 279 but I can't imagine anyone paying more than 229 since that's the mint price now
