I think the Mint just didn't want to commit themselves to that price just yet in case silver makes a violent move upward shortly before sales are slated to begin.<br /><br />Unless that happens, the Mint would receive severe tongue lashings for a price increase. Silver spot is still a few dollars less than what it was when the initial price level was determined for Hot Springs, at least at the tiem of this writing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-21521692213774343752011-06-04T06:58:39.630-07:002011-06-04T06:58:39.630-07:00Got mine last Tuesday, it is flawless just like my...Got mine last Tuesday, it is flawless just like my NP1.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-23263573022820102522011-06-03T04:46:11.797-07:002011-06-03T04:46:11.797-07:00there may be a price change for the Yosemite Natio...there may be a price change for the Yosemite National Park coin, the mint doesn't show a price in upcoming prodcts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-54808188466458459372011-06-02T20:07:41.784-07:002011-06-02T20:07:41.784-07:00Just got today my Hot Springs P replacement.

Different people can enjoy collecting and appreciating different sets of these coins. <br /><br />I like the scenic otdoors with wildlife, I love the "National Parks". I can see others collecting the historic sites. Like others, I already want to get rid of my extra Hot Springs, but the Yellowstone will be a "must have" even if the art work is elementary. <br /><br />I love Glacier and Olympic and the Puerto Rico and Denali designs for next year.

Uhhh...these aren't coins...they are large round chunks (pucks if you will) of silver with images on them. Putting one in my pocket will result in my pants falling off. Furthermore, they take up a lot more space than a standard sized coin, which IS a consideration. The 5 ouncers are oddities...nothing more.<br /><br />That said, I do agree that low mintages will result in higher values for these oddities. At 27K, these will go up substantially within a few years; not because they are classics, but because they are rare and odd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-50873409060708746742011-06-02T06:19:06.357-07:002011-06-02T06:19:06.357-07:00I will also buy the first 5 ATB only.

This is the same as in the Great Depresion when everyone hoarded silver, the silver commems many many produced in '35-6, they had great designs such as Indians, Oregon Tr., Civil War heros North and South, and Geo. Washington. <br />For 2010 ATB 5 oz i think the Yellowstone is particularly a classic, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, and Mt. hood are also works of art, worth far above the silver content. <br /><br />Some 2011 designs are also cool, in particular Gettysburg and Vicksburg. <br />However, Glacier and Olympic look too similar. <br /><br />All the 2012 designs I don't care for much, in particular the bird design, the lighthouse bldg?, and volcano. <br /><br />if i can work overtime, i'd like to purchase the Gettysburg and Vicksburg.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-68473178265110645842011-06-02T00:52:57.803-07:002011-06-02T00:52:57.803-07:00Most of the US Mint's precious metal offerings...Most of the US Mint's precious metal offerings are too costly for me. Sure, folks who bought years ago can be pleased that their purchases from years ago have appreciated nicely. But for those who are buying now and enjoy collecting for sheer pleasure, escalating costs are making it more and more difficult to enjoy the past time.<br /><br />With that being said, I cannot see how (or why) the US Mint would drop their sales price for the 5 ounce P silver coins.

I am a collector and most of my coins are judicious picks for a collection. You will see the returns in the future, and a big part will be the coin, its history, the art, technology, your history with the coin, and finally its value.

I'm complaining simply because I can't afford it all. <br /><br />For me, I can't justify the huge expense if I am not going to see a return on the secondary market in the future. Unfortunately, I need to see it like this in order to justify shelling out THOUSANDS of dollars to support a hobby. I don't have that luxury.
