As a result, there will beno terms and conditions imposed on the 2011 America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Bullion Coins Program,” the memo said, emphasizing the words “no terms and conditions imposed.”<br /><br />Specifically the Mint is allocating 126,500 coins initially for each of the first two coins, and the goal is to have a minimum of at least 126,500 coins for each of remaining three coins in the 2011 designs. It “may increase the mintage limit beyond the initial release quantities based on market demand and blank availability,” the Mint said.<br /><br />To participate in the program, authorized purchasers must certify they sold all of their 2010 “America the Beautiful” five-ounce silver bullion coins.<br /><br />The first two coins are Gettysburg National Military Park and Glacier National Park.<br /><br />Late last year the Mint had to delay the release of the 2010 designs because of concerns of price gouging. Also, only 33,000 of each of the five, five-ounce silver bullion coins were released.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-73942006554471324692011-04-07T14:38:07.511-07:002011-04-07T14:38:07.511-07:00This is a hobby to me, it should be fun!

It looks like it's days are numbered.<br /><br />It would not be a good idea to change the specs on the spouses now. The series is already well underway, and they should all match. Who would want to keep buying these if they shrunk drastically and looked weird together? Besides, the smaller the coin, the BIGGER the Mint markup.<br /><br />No, they need to finish what they started and make them all the same until the end.<br /><br />I plan to buy my 1 proof and 2 unc as long as I can afford to. I AM upset at the thought that due to the delay, I may have to pay at least $75 more than I should have for my Eliza Johnsons. Today's price fixes are solidly in the next pricing tier. This week we DO have the advantage that a pullback below $1,450 next Wed PM will override the average. That may be the only chance we have of avoiding an increase.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-34091611212549383172011-04-07T06:24:05.351-07:002011-04-07T06:24:05.351-07:00Yeah, the site look like it is shutdown.

I suspect the Mint is trying to find a way to end this series, and this may be the only way to save it. The Mint must have figured out by now that with so few people buying them, and all the early sell-outs, etc., all they are doing is creating instant rarities. The Mint should strive to better serve the coin community as a whole. Keep catering to the dealers and the wealthy, and they will go out of business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-58340610425196301752011-04-06T19:03:15.222-07:002011-04-06T19:03:15.222-07:00...I wondered if I was making a mistake getting on......I wondered if I was making a mistake getting one from MTB on Ebay for $1025...<br /><br />That comes out to $41.00 flat in spot price.
