ATB Five Ounce Silver Coins

RP Buffalo will be sold until 9/5.

Let's see if they "do" anything on Monday. Over $24/oz today.

Just need six days to get to the Fort McHenry coin...

No movement on the prices on the products with silver content. A bullion 5oz'r is up to $143.65 at APMEX, with the shipping it's $156 and change. Hope the quarterly inventory of the mint prevents them from taking the silver items offline for repricing, it might not be until next week. If silver gets above $25, it might be a two tier $50 jump, so inventory should fly off shelves this week.

Yes, if it holds @ $154.95 Thursday noon, I expect to order two, replacing one of the bullion coins I'd ordinarily get.

That's just the price they have to publish for the announcement in the Federal Register. Originally when the 2013 five ounce coins were first published it was $244.95, if you recall, then when White Mountain finally was issued it was $179.95. Realistically, I am not expecting to pay $154.95 for Rushmore in November. Traditionally PMs always go up in the fall after the summer break. By then it might be back to $204.95 or even $229.95, unfortunately. I hope I am wrong, but the Mint has usually been quick to raise silver prices and slow to drop them.

Ft McHenry comes out Thursday. I would guess a repricing will occur before that is issued. Silver over $24 today. It is to the point where it is almost cheaper to buy the coin from the mint then to shop anywhere else. I usually pay $3-4 over spot, credit card fee and shipping. Puts it pretty close to the $31 an oz they are getting right now.

@angel2004.....you mention low shipping, but I think there is still NO shipping cost at the mint until the end of next month. I too hope they don't raise the cost of the pucks before the next one goes on sale this Thursday.

I may get shut out of this year issue (same as 2012) if the price keep on getting raised..... :(
