^ I used that approach back in 2012 and almost got burned on the Hawaii P puck - the potential savings of $4.95 are minimal in comparison to the loss if you have to pay secondary market prices later on. But I also think this is not another Hawaii in the making, no matter how low the final mintage figure will be. :)
I am glad I picked up a PCGS 70 Volcano when the puck came out and another one from the mint. I made out well on those. I only have a couple of 70 graded pucks, not sure why I pulled the trigger on this one, I guess because the price was so low at the time for a 70 and I liked the design. I am only going to wait until the the proof ASE and the annual proof set comes out to combine it with the new P puck, I am sure it will still be available at the end of the month.
JMB has just started pre-selling the Frederick Douglass ATB bullion coin: http://www.jmbullion.com/2017-5-oz-...silver-coin/ US$2.89/oz above spot incl. capsule and (unless prices drops below US$100) free delivery.
You may want to keep an eye on the Effigy Mounds ATB coins - bullion & numismatic - as mintage figures will likely be on the low end. The bullion sold just 19.7k thus far (200 more than a few weeks ago). It's not popular and the next one is already on pre-sale everywhere which will not help to bump up the mintage.
I received an actual quarter in change the other day and have to admit that I have started to like this coin. It is quite unique and has a rather high relief.
Teach, thanks for pointing that out. Where did you hear about that? I was literally going to place my order in fifteen minutes, but will now hold off too until April 4th.
Foxwoods posted about it. I was going to place an order this afternoon too and then saw that. Now I can get all 4 of my orders in at one time. I was excited to hear about a different mint mark ASE. I wonder what else the mint is going to try to sneak in this year. I guess I better start paying closer attention to the descriptions on all of the products this year.
I was thinking about waiting too, but I'm going to pull the trigger tonight as I already have plenty in my shopping basket. There will be other orders in the future to bundle this new ASE up with (like the next ATB puck).

, I hated the design at first, but the look has grown on me.
