On the bright side, I just ordered a few albums to store these from Air-Tite. I'll try to get some pictures once these arrived.

It's been 5 years since 5 Oz. ATB's in production...5 years, almost 1/2 way through program, and, to my knowledge, not ONE Company has decent storage products available. Even a basic XXL PCGS plastic "Blue Box" would be a start, or, an XXL NGC Box of some sort. Part of me wants to find a plastic guru, and, develop holders just for the ATB collectors. A plastic sleeve that fits both NGC and PCGS coins would be nice to create a 5-coin 1-year page, in an album. SA$H says he's ordered some kind of album that fits the 65mm direct-fit ATB airtite...that's a nice start. So, plenty of opportunity for the Lighthouse companies of the world to produce for us..just not a lot to choose from that I know of. Maybe you guys know of something out there..post here, if you do. I'm sticking to BU versions from here on out..my money is going into 5 Oz(and all 7 sizes) Mexican Libertads, for a lot of reasons not really important in this thread. VERY low mintage numbers make these quick sellers, and, production will be boosted in 2016 I hear, making previous mintages well above "book" value..some 5 Oz Libertads were minted in the hundreds, compared to ATB's, in the 25k range.

My P Homestead is on its way!
Now I have to put some serious thought into the storage/display options being batted around here. These are just too awesome to not take a peek at every once in a while.

I ordered my P puck, but it is on back order right now. I saw an article today that mentioned the bullion pucks being sold out at 35K. They said more could be made as long as they don't go above 65K for both the bullion and the P puck combined, but they doubt the mint will do this. I think they said the P pucks have sold about 18.1 K so far.

Mine is also on back order, but when I purchased last week I seem to recall the system telling me that to expect shipment sometime in early May. Now the system only gives you the option of back ordering.

I think mine said it would be shipped in April sometime. I will have to go back and see what it says now. I'm sure I will see it sooner or later. :)

I very much doubt they will stop production now and declare it as sold out. Think about it, it's the first ATB puck of the year - why stop production so early, esp. considering it's been doing so well? They'll max out the mintage for sure as the US Mint is in the business to not only mint but also to make money. ;) |

I don't see that happening either. They will pump out as many as possible like you said. Not sure why some people think they will have an early sell out on these pucks, it would be nice if it happened right after I get mine, but I doubt that will be the case.

I'm not particularly worried about it... if anything it helps spread out my Credit Card payments while consolidating shipping as I ordered this puck with a bunch of other things. |

Yep, I did the same thing. I ordered a proof and UNC. ASE along with the puck. |
