For everyone worried about things being sent to your house USPS has a newer option that is completely free. Its still in the early stages and only available in certain parts of the country but its called GoPost. Its like a PO Box but its not one dedicated just to you and you dont have to pay a fee for it. What it is is a set of lockers that are generally near a post office. You have your own ID card and pin and when something gets sent to you itll be put in a locker at the Go Post. Youll get an email and/or text that your package is there and you go there swipe your card and sign in and it gives you access to the locker with your package. If nothing else its great for using as a return address when you sell on ebay so you arent sending your address out everywhere. If you live in a rural area you probably wont have access to it, but the plan is to keep expanding it as of now. Whether or not that ever reaches rural areas is a different story

That's interesting. But still email. I guess I like complete privacy as much as I can get. Seems everything we do is tracked filmed or watched and recorded!

Yep, mine shipped a few days ago should have it here in a little bit.  Silver is also receding back to $23 so perhaps there's hope that I can get the final puck at 155!!

It will be interesting to see how the designs turn out on coins. I still prefer FLA-05 or FLA-06 over the selected design for Florida, but whatever, they will be fine. I'll collect next years' 5oz P pucks but I'm really looking forward to 2014 commemorative coins, with the Baseball Hall of Fame and the Civil Rights Comms. I just read an article by Zielinski about selecting the Civil Rights Comm design with Obverse 10 with the Liberty Bell with the Lincoln memorial pool looks really good and Reverse 2 is straightforward and overall it looks like a very good coin. I started saving a few dollars for the Baseball HOF set due in May 2014 with the gold coin a few months ago but I'm really getting excited about next year's coins. But getting back to the Pucks, noticed McHenry debt sales were close to 11k, which seems good.

I think many were ordered due to silver being on an upward trend when they were offered. Some that may have waited ordered quicker to snatch at the 154.95 price. And as some have said about the same cost as bullion

Thank you Doug for the link! I wonder when they will finalize the choices!

If silver continue to seesaw like this, we may have 2013 set at the record low issue price.... I've missed 2011 & 2012 set so I guess I'll just keep my eyes out for those down the road...

Received my pair of Ft. McHenrys today. Nice blemish free coins as expected. Coin is now on back order with estimated ship date of 9/03! The Mint sold 10,878 in the first four days of sale, so doesn't surprise me that the initial order of 12,500 is gone. I guess the series as a whole is no longer a best kept secret and some of these 2013 coins should reach the max.
