ATB 'P' Mint Mark Coin Thread

[chief]

I know we've got threads for the 2010 ATB sets we've all been getting at great deals and there is a thread started for the 2011 ATBs. How about one for the 'collector's version' of these 5 ounce coins?

With the Hot Springs coin going on sale Thursday, April 28th, who's going to be buying one? What do you think the collector value will be on these once they sell out?

I, for one, am still on the fence about buying one. I've got a couple of the ATB sets but do I need one just for the fancy box and the 'P' mark? I know they are going to be a low mintage of 27,000. Just wanted to hear what your opinions are.

I thought the bullion version was a no brain-er ......I feel the same way about the "collector" version.
Only time will tell though.

sarc on

The collectors version.....puck that

sarc off

Depending on what silver does, there will either be 27,000 happy people or 27,000 sad people since we are talking $54/oz. I have not bought silver since $20/oz. (except for ATB's), so I'm in for 1 per household.

just checked silver eagle price @ Provident........53.38

I really don't think the price of silver will alter my feeling about this coin. I feel that the additional surface treatment makes this more like a proof coin than an uncirculated coin. I collect coins for my own personal satisfaction and I want coins that look nice and I value complete sets. I would never pay a premium for MS 69 or MS 70. I rather spend the extra money on another coin. I never bought coins before with the idea of flipping them until these coins came out.

I want a complete set of the Mint version. If I only got 3 or 4, I would either be looking to complete the set or to sell my coins, depending on the price. I would never be happy with 80% of a set.

I bet they sell out tomorrow

[MrLucky]

Hello everyone,

Yes, I'll be buying them. In fact, I should be getting quite a few (extended family buying them too). Maybe I'll even sell a few to MCM.

I have my boat ready too.

[silverbusa]

see you all at the starting line

[Dude]

Premium disappearing...we are at $48 again...jeez...

[MrLucky]

Full set = 56 X $279.95 + 4.95ship (assumes same price for 10 yrs) = $15,955.

I will pay you actual cost plus $20, plus whatever it takes to ship the coin to me if you buy it. I won't call these coins a home-run necessarily, but unless silver falls to $30 or less and stays there for a significant amount of time you should be able to recoup your initial investment quite easily on these IMO. Simply put, collectors love proofs .

Same here...

I would say crashed, I sure can't get through

[wallywest]

"Thank you for your order..."

[jogslvr]

Callem 1-800 872-6468 and press "0" for operator.
I just got mine ordered and have order confirmation number.
I was working the computer at the same time and it crashed just as I figured it would.

[croakersoaker]

thank you for your order

[Eat Beef]

Got in on the website, and it crashed again during checkout. Phone lines constantly busy.

It's almost like someone at the .gov didn't forsee this being a busy day.//sarcasm//

[earplugs]

My order went through. hopefully all goes well.














































sike!

Don't worry, they say they'll have the system upgraded by Summer 2012. LOL they even say this on the main page:

. As we have previously indicated to our customers, our online ordering management system is in need of upgrade. Fixing the system is a priority. Unfortunately, we do not anticipate an upgraded system being in place until approximately mid-2012. In the meantime, we apologize to our customers for any inconvenience and ask them to be patient during this time.

[MrLucky]

15 min. online. multiple page reloads. got it. only have to do this 4 more times this year.

[Eat Beef]

They came up as backordered at 12:17 ET.

[AU+AG=Bacon]

They came up as backordered at 12:17 ET.

I'm hoping thats because they are on a delayed shipment.

[wallywest]

I am pretty sure the backordered thing references that shipment will not happen until May 12.

[AU+AG=Bacon]

damn, got all the way to shipping and it crashed!!!

[ppius13]

Has anyone gotten e-mail confirmation of their order?

[jogslvr]

Flippers already on Ebay for $699 ea

[jogslvr]

Has anyone gotten e-mail confirmation of their order?

yes

After 30 minutes finally got my order to go through

[drpiranha]

Just finished after 37 minutes. It crashed at each step, but always took me back to the last place. I'm glad I have an account there. I know I would have screwed up the address or credit card number.

[AU+AG=Bacon]

Nice. I just got my order number. I did not waste the last 45 minutes.

[Eat Beef]

To quote Trent Reznor, "I tried, I gave up".

It's just not worth the headache.

[Oldmansmith]

40 minutes on dial-up, but I got mine!

that is hardcore...please tell you're at 56k.

[ChoiceBU]

CRASHED! Tried for an hour - got the order in the shopping cart but couldn't checkout, several tries. Now the site is down completely and phone line busy...wonder how long the shopping cart will hold P puck?

[Oldmansmith]

All over for now except by phone, think of how .gov would be in "an actual emergency."

"An internal server error has occurred. If you would like to place an order you can always call 1-800-USA-MINT (872-6468). Sorry for the inconvenience."

Same thing here, got to "Place Order" 3-4 times, but never made it home...

[MrLucky]

***toast***

[cpthnsolo]

Got two orders through, but I was unable to complete my third order for a family member :\. Hopefully the site bounces back soon:

Got through twice...over the phone...LOL

[Dvorak]

Web site is back up, I just got my order through in about 15 seconds...

[edcherylx]

yup..I got email confirmation!

[ChoiceBU]

Whew, what an ordeal to get this over hyped coin, ha! Finally got through to place the order by phone and already got the conf. email. If you didn't get to the check out online, keep calling, you probably don't have a coin reserved. Oh, it's back up? Good.

[indieangler]

I can't really afford it right now but I really at least wanted the first one since it's my home state. If anyone ordered multiples and is interested in trading one off for other high premium silver, shoot me a PM and let's see if we can't work something out.

[drpiranha]

I see it's still for sale on the website. I guess they haven't sold out yet

[voidus]

Heard a rumor that the Yellerstoner will be up for sale May 12, 2011.
A lot of mint products for sale, are coming in May.

[drpiranha]

19K sold the 1st day. It would have been a sellout except for the website problems and slowdowns.
