I reinstated the subscription for the pucks yesterday. It's an easy guess that the Mint will allocate at least 45,000 bullion to the next release, Shawnee, in February. For them the $9.75 up charge over spot to the APs is easy money if they all sell within a day or two of release. They've done as many as 150K per design (Gettysburg) so capacity to increase production 2 or 3 times of this year's bullion total is possible.
Given that no P has sold over 30K in the life of the program yet, and how slow it takes for some of the P releases to get to 20K, 25K might be the limit next year, in case there's another Saratoga. Finally, if the state matters for the one-time buyers, Illinois is next.

I agree...20-25k for the P limit. Now brother bullion mintage will be another issue

Anybody up at 7:30am this morning? There were 50 Saratoga Ps available. Tried to snag another one but was gone when I tried to complete the order. Gonna get some additional bullion since Provident has them for under $100 each.

They were, darn it! Go for the bullion bizy, I stocked up a few days ago because I saw SD Bullion had em cheap but I think they're gone now. On another note, my P's and roll of bullion from jm came yesterday. They look good. The minimalist design really works as it speaks volumes if you know how to read between the lines

FedEx Dumbpost must have lost my Saratoga P puck somewhere along the way. I ordered 15 minutes after noon on Dec. 3rd. According to tracking it states it will be here today. I will believe it when I see it. So does anyone have the new P puck in hand and if so, what do you think of it?

Yes I do and I like it. But I've said from the beginning that I like it due to its minialist design, history in the birth of our nation, has a weopn and says in no uncertain terms that we as Americans are winners. We win that's what we do even though it doesn't feel like that today it will again. If ypu read between the lines it's one heck of a design imho
I have both versions and the P is much better imo since the few details there are kind of get bleached out by the reflectivity of the bullion version while they are sharp on the P

Just 78 left of the Bombay P left. No doubt they'll be gone by morning, so if you want one or another best hurry tonight. So final total for Bombay will be around where Blue Ridge and Saratoga ended: between 17.5-17.7K sold. After these are gone that only leaves Homestead and Kisatchie, pretty sure Homestead has not been minted to 30K, nor Kisatchie to 23K, so they shouldn't last that much longer on sale either.

Fox, in your bag it should say in small red letters "only 56 left" if you add 100
