Getting my APMEX pair tomorrow, can't wait. It is hands down the best ATB design of '13. Got the regular circulation quarter yesterday so was a happy camper all around. Quarter is well proportioned as 1" should be 100x as awesome in the 3" size.

Good price compared to what it has been but with silver still below $20 a big markup over $10/oz

Still great price, since AG will come back up and we will all wish we bought more when it was under $20!! I ordered my Great Basin Bullion from MCM should be shipped shortly. I think this design is one of the top 2 for this year, so I think I'll get the P version too!

Odd the first 2 are still avail for sale at 179 on the mint site. Usually they have taken them off for the repricing time

So are all of the other mint/proof sets still being sold containing silver that will be adjusted $5.00 to $7.00 downwards on Thursday. My White Mountain and Perry Ps promptly went back to Indiana for a refund, $50.00 off on both together is nothing to sneeze at. The premium will still be $50+++. The one thing the Mint News Blog failed to mention if the Great Basin puck will be finally released along with the price adjustments on Thursday? Update: picked up my APMEX shipment of Great Basin bullion. The wire brushing that was so unfortunate on the Perry's Victory that everyone complained about is missing on these coins. (It's not pm damage, but part of the planchet washing and drying process and undergoes a form of whizzing that cannot be struck out on flat, mirrored negative space.) These coins are similar to the White Mountain bullion, so another set of winners. The Great Basin design is just outstanding in the enlarged size. Looking forward to picking up the P puck trio after Thu. Next month, the Fort McHenry coin, another interesting design that should translate well in XXL.

Bizy...yeah it doesn't say. I am surprised they are doing this and leaving the products on sale with the old prices until then as well. The table below shows the current prices, the new prices, and the change. The changes basically reflect a reduction in price of $5 for each ounce of silver content and will become effective on July 11, 2013 at 12:00 Noon ET. Old Price New Price Change 2013 Silver Proof Set 60.95 53.95 -7.00 2012 & 2013 ATB Quarter Silver Proof Sets 36.95 31.95 -5.00 2013 Annual Unc Dollar Coin Set 49.95 44.95 -5.00 2012 Making American History Set 72.95 67.95 -5.00 2013 Congratulations Set 59.95 54.95 -5.00 2013 Proof Silver Eagle 57.95 52.95 -5.00 2013 Uncirculated Silver Eagle 48.95 43.95 -5.00 2013 ATB Uncirculated Coins 179.95 154.95 -25.0

angel - I don't recall the price either... although the information indicates this is the lowest price for the proof since 2010.
The GB 5 ounce is now listed at the Mint as being available on July 25th.

The price of silver when the 2010 ASE proof was offered for sale was around $22-$24 and it was priced at $45.95 and sold out really quickly. The lowered prices on the silver products are still going to be high relative to the spot pricing. Ideally the burnished ASE should be $38.95 and the proof ASE @ $43.95. Funny how the GB puck is listed with the new pricing of $154.95 for 7-27 on the calendar and the WM & PV still have the $179.95 price. Pays to pay attention to little matters such as these!

Bizy - the announced price change takes affect Thursday - so until then people buying them this week are over paying.

So odd they are keeping them out the available for sale. Every other time they were off sale until repricing

Come on, Great Basin. I need to buy one of these issues at $155 and hope that Ag stays under 20 long enough to keep that pricing.

Is it me, or were people a little disappointed on Tuesdays sales numbers of the 5oz circulated ATBs?
People haven't bought them because of the anticipated price reduction from the mint but I was just expecting a little more demand there. I was looking for something closer to 1k on those numbers.
Silver and gold seem to have stabilized here for awhile and are moving back up.
Looks like I'll have plenty of time to pick up some nice coins. Just scratching my head on those numbers though.
