Mine is on enrollment so it should ship either on the 8th or 9th. I always look forward o these even if I am not a huge fan of a particular design. This one will make 35, with 21 to go.

Yeah, it does seem like a lot. And who knows what the price of silver will do over the next 5 years? Oh well, I'm in for the long haul...as long as I can afford it!  |

I know I am late to the party but I am thinking I want to collect these in the bullion issues only.

After seeing that reality I probably will reconsider my recent habit of buying a tube of the bullion in addition to my 2-3 P's...we'll see...maybe not |

Mine is marked as shipped and has a tracking # but FedEx doesn't have the info yet so it will probably go out tomorrow afternoon.The FedEx ground route has changed with the onset of winter so I probably won't get it until the 17th.

Boy, talk about slow, my puck was just delivered to Fedex this morning. Marked as shipped my the mint on Saturday and actually shipped on Tuesday. This means that I won't have it in hand for another week since it is still sitting in Southaven, MS and probably won't leave there until tonight at the earliest.

I got mine today. I think it is nice.
I say "I think" because it is the first one I purchased.
I figured it would come in and I would either say, "I've got to have all of these" or I would say, "whatever, this is goofy, I don't want any of them."
I think I am leaning towards the latter, but not very remarkably.

Mine will be in sometime next week. Just shipped today. Quote:

If your first was Acadia or some other truly inspired (IMO, of course) design, I think you'd be hooked. This design is at the lower end as far as I'm concerned, but that's just me. If you like it, that's all that matters. |

My puck finally left Southaven, MS this morning. That makes 6 days from the time the mint told me the product had shipped until it actually began its journey to me. At this pace they might miss their 1-2 week window. I am definitely going to take advantage of the $10 off expedited shipping offer if I manage to snag a Gold Mercury dime today. |
