But why couldn't the Mint hold off one more day to actually "release" the coin? <br /><br />In any case, if anyone else might be around Hot Springs on the 19th, give me a ring.Lasloohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11869376645350635619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-64765713620692243192010-04-07T18:10:30.545-07:002010-04-07T18:10:30.545-07:00Oh, no!

I can't take two vacation days right now, so now I probably can't even go at all! I was planning on driving down on Sunday and spending the night. It's about 7 hours each way, so it would be too hard to drive down after work on Monday and drive back on Tuesday after the long day at the ceremony. I'm really sorry to get your hopes up due to my not having my ducks in a row before I spoke.Bradnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-5875904416140505662010-04-07T18:04:36.336-07:002010-04-07T18:04:36.336-07:00Hey Brad!
You're awesome!!
That would be gre...Hey Brad!<br /><br />You're awesome!!<br /><br />That would be great if I could send some your way for cancellation! For now, the stamp I'm using is the Liberty "Forever" stamp. I searched around on the post office website for something more meaningful but couldn't find something that I could have gotten in reasonable quantities. Maybe for the next cover, I can get a better stamp.<br /><br />My Ebay id is "greanmonkey". Give me a holler over there and we'll exchange information.<br /><br />The only other thing to note is that the official release date is Monday, April 19th. The ceremony itself will be April 20th. The cover I created talks about the actual release date, i.e. April 19th. So, for these covers, at the least, I need cancellations for the 19th. Not sure why Moy couldn't get both to fall on the same day like the Lincoln pennies, but oh well. <br /><br />However, it might be good to hold on to them for the next day as well and see if any special postal cancellations are available for the ceremony itself on the 20th and just add those to the covers. The Presidential covers seemed to do that. One normal cancellation from the post office near the ceremony and an extra one that was only available at the ceremony and had the image of the President on it.Lasloohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11869376645350635619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-33814845961087465452010-04-07T16:21:04.099-07:002010-04-07T16:21:04.099-07:00Lasloo,

I will try to find out for sure tomorrow.<br /><br />If you would send me some of the empty shells for your coin covers with the .44 postage on them, I'd be happy to get them cancelled there for you. I'd then return them to you to put the coins in them. I might be able to send you some coins from the ceremony itself (most likely P Mint if past patterns hold), so at least those coins inside the covers could be from the actual ceremony.<br /><br />If you have an eBay userid or some other way I can contact you, we can communicate via e-mail without having to post addresses here. Just let me know.Bradnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-85585290217798933072010-04-07T14:59:45.235-07:002010-04-07T14:59:45.235-07:00To the commenters up a few comments re: buffaloes....To the commenters up a few comments re: buffaloes. I bought an 09 buff at the intial price and thought it was a pricey little dude then. I like buffaloes and I also figured it might be a long term item due to its price. I believe there is a good possibility that flippers and dealers bought a boat load of the 09's and are unloading them now because they got in over their head. That would keep the going price down in the short run. The 09 might be my last as I believe they 10's if they show up are gonna shrink the collector base even more because of price. Ironically a high price on '10's might make them more collectable if the mint price for the '10's gets closer to 2 large the mint may end up with only a 10,000 mintage like the last platinum proof. Who knows. Make your best guess and as always buy what you like and can afford.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-84730682450515884142010-04-07T14:53:24.934-07:002010-04-07T14:53:24.934-07:00Anybody else lucky enough to be able to go to the ...Anybody else lucky enough to be able to go to the Hot Springs ceremony?Lasloohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11869376645350635619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-26739893595684249202010-04-07T13:34:38.488-07:002010-04-07T13:34:38.488-07:00I will not be able to be at the Hot Springs releas...I will not be able to be at the Hot Springs release because I will be on Texas coast welcoming the birds migrating north.

This is even assuming the ones being sold were bought for the lowest Mint offering price of $1,360. If they bought them for the $1,410 or $1,460 levels their losses are even worse.

No proof gold eagles either for 2010."<br /><br />Do you mean the Coin World article stating that their status was in doubt if demand for bullion coins continues? That's the latest I have heard. Not too encouraging, but at least it's still not definite.<br /><br />"Can anyone shed some light on how the coin exchange will work for quarter?"<br /><br />Not sure, but details will likely become available a few days before the planned ceremony.<br /><br />"Is the National Parks Service going to have any special packaging or gift sets planned?"<br /><br />That would be a great idea. I hope they do something like this. The authorizing legislation specifically authorizes the National Park Service to repackage and resell the 5 oz. silver bullion coins. Presumably they would also do something similar with the quarters.Mint News Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15005852378363392557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-1061255742676990902010-04-07T06:06:00.679-07:002010-04-07T06:06:00.679-07:00Is the National Parks Service going to have any sp...Is the National Parks Service going to have any special packaging or gift sets planned?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-92196015355503980062010-04-06T23:50:48.728-07:002010-04-06T23:50:48.728-07:00alrprairie, are you going to be at the Hot Springs...alrprairie, are you going to be at the Hot Springs ceremony on the 20th?Lasloohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11869376645350635619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-51004164071861542502010-04-06T23:05:11.429-07:002010-04-06T23:05:11.429-07:00No proof silver eagles for this year according to ...No proof silver eagles for this year according to Moy as of two days ago.

I was hoping they were wrong, but it seems they were right after all.<br /><br />This might bode well for the U.S. Mint roll sets for the new series. Somehow, new quarters mixed in with old, dirty ones just doesn't feel good for the collector. The rolls of unmixed quarters in special Mint paper look much more attractive compared to the mixed option, despite the premium price tag. If the Mint sells only a similar quantity to the 2009's, the 2010 roll sets might not last too long.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
