From the latest Mint sales spreadsheet, cancellations are starting to be processed on GSM-P, 679 coins were taken off leaving a net of 24,742. SHD-P added only 1,177 to 21,297 so that coin will probably remain on sale through the summer. Looking ahead to Arches bullion, hope there's news of it for preorders by early next week.

So there are less than 25,000 now. Does that mean 24,742 is the final mintage?

APMEX expanded their bullion 5oz. listings for Arches to include the sealed 10-coin tube and 100-coin monster box, so it must mean they are getting ready to accept preorders. And just in time for silver's monthly low of $19.10/oz. too. Good timing.

as silver gets smashed, so are and will these too in price. Which makes me happy because theres a couple I want to get that I missed....
so,, whats a good price to beat on a 5 Oz coin for Puerto Rico, which had the parrot on it, forget now the name of the coin, I think it was El Yunques was it?
Suggestions please for either graded or nongraded. thank you in advance.

I got El Yunque about a month ago from BGASC for $138 but now they are sold out. The going rate seems to be $30-40 more than that.

I got my 2014 P-Shenandoah 5oz puck came in today and its a beauty. Though I like the Great Smoky Mountain better, personal preference. I am looking forward to the next three.
I wish I got into these earlier than 2012. The first 2 years are starting to get expensive.

@welder....they can still be had for less than original retail price if you look. Spot price of silver was insane at that point.

@CelticKnot, I agree that the 2010's and 2011's are cheaper than released. If I'm not mistaken, the 2010 ATB's originally retailed for $279.95. I will start to back fill my ATB collection soon. Lately I have been focusing on filling holes in my silver proof set collection, the last one I need is the 1995 Premier Silver Proof Set.

My 2 cents here..I don't think it's fair that the Mint does not place a limit on SP subscriptions...the "Big Boys", with unlimited purchase power can blow any Joe out of the water..you know darn well they are ordering these by the hundreds, looking for the SP70's to grade..then, dump all the SP69's on ebay..I'd say, after viewing many raw, fresh from the mint pucks, that maybe 1-in-25 would qualify as a perfect strike(mint-made minor dings, and, ejection scuffs at rim a constant ongoing problem with these strikes), thus, why they purchase so many..this, plus the fact that the public CANNOT direct-buy Bullion pucks, makes me resentful at the Big Money games we all have to deal with, as far as Mint Policy. Totally powerless over this(and, the Silver Eagle program, as well)...The U.S. Mint is supposed to be "By The People--For The People"...not just for QVC, and "Dealers", who, behind the scenes, hide behind semi-transparent curtians from TPG's, and, tilt the game in their favor. Higher mintages ruin the series, and, helps nobody...IF...IF(like mints from around the world do)..would limit the mintage, AND, take the time to put a unique serial #, and, COA for EACH SP Puck, it would solidify as a trackable item, with more clout...US Mint, take note of UK Royal Mint, and their unique serial # system! SP pucks could be world class coins, with a better numbering system..with the modern German presses they use for these, I'm pretty sure their all made in 1 day, or, 2 at most...NO excuse for not keeping track of the run, and, numbering each coin, with a unique#. Feel better now that vented. Calvin
