ATB 'P' Mint Mark Coin Thread

[cpthnsolo]

That was easy... I ordered one, but I may have a friend buy another for me this Friday if they're still up. Two of the people that I had buy coins for me for the last one said they wouldn't do it again as each of them had to drive to their UPS center last time. Meh, two sets of 'P' pucks is enough I suppose...

Just got the email confirm.... Hope it's good. 2 days early on ordering.

ooop.......... thought it was on Thursday the 19TH.

Their website is working fine.

[MrLucky]

You can't order these things early so it kinda silly that they even state it in the instructions. They don't activate the ordering box on the web page until 12 noon. Before that it shows the item but no qty box. I was on the pg at 11:55 AM and there was no way to order early (above reason). At 12:05 PM, a slow page refresh showed a qty box.

[Dude]

[scubaguy82]

Just thought I would let everyone know the next 5oz coin in the series was released at 12 noon Eastern, 5/17/11 on the US mints website today.

[Dude]

You do know that once obtained, you are automatically granted the rank of Duke or Dutchess.

[drpiranha]

#37479xxx
I got an email confirmation plus I got an email ad from them a couple of hours later confirming it's availability and a link to order.

[SongSungAU]

So, going from 37479xxx to 37490xxx possibly means...




It would be nice if the Mint just kept an updated number on the Yellowstone coin web page.

[Turner-son]

Just ordered: 37494xxx

[jogslvr]

Just ordered: 37494xxx

Looks like at least 15,000 sold since I ordered and it took me about 20 minutes,

[SongSungAU]

15,000 orders. We have no way of knowing how many of the orders were for the ATB coin, right?

[AU+AG=Bacon]

I got my in about 1250 EST... #37486xxx I hope these are worth the markup.

Bacon

[graspAU]

I got my email conf at 12:04pm and the order was 374770xx

[jogslvr]

15,000 orders. We have no way of knowing how many of the orders were for the ATB coin, right?

I think the first 3 numbers of the orders may be a code system for the ATBs.
I base this on order numbers for the Hot Springs a few weeks ago.

[Rcpb2000]

I ordered about 35 minutes after 12noon and my number is #37485xxx

Ordered at 11:15 central time, number 37485### too

I never thought the Hot Springs design was all that appealing, nor is the park itself, compared to Yellowstone or Yosemite.

Those two are national icons. When I graduated early from high school and went cross-country at 17, guess where I went? Yellowstone and Yosemite.

Hot Springs? Never heard of it.

Beautiful place in Arkansas. Hot Springs has an old time feel to it and you are able to fill your bottles with the water. Not to mention the lakes and rivers surrounding it, the Ozarks, Crater of Diamonds, Arkasas has more to offer than some other states, and Im from Illinois.

[chiclin]

some folk are saying that the HOT SPRINGS crimped lettering as shown in my coin a few pages back, as well as the faded impression on the QUARTER on the face, is a mint error that occurs in many of the coins minted. I was upset it would lessen the value of my coin dramatically, does anyone have anyexamples as to how this might be a good thing?>

[sneak]

I ordered at 1:05 P.M. eastern time and my order number is 37487XXX.

[ChoiceBU]

For what it's worth - accidently placed 2 orders 10 mins apart and the orders were 1660 numbers a part, selling at a pretty good clip I would say (less than an hour into it). Fortunately was able to cancel one of them so as not to go over HH limit. 37483X

[charlie1023]

Just ordered after midnight and my order confirmation came in on email right away, #37502###.......looks like they are starting to run low based on numbers reported here? Chances that they last past tomorrow seem remote at this rate.....

Not dissing Arkansas or Hot Springs at all, you are right it is a great state. I'm just saying that the collector interest for Yellowstone is likely much, much greater.

Ordered - email said backordered 6/02/2011

Ordered mine on 5-17 at around 3PM order number 37497XXX

The e-mail confirm says "backordered 06/01/11"

Hopefully I got my order in on time.

Mine says the same SS, and I ordered right away.

[Dude]

Ya. They have used the term backordered, I guess because they are not ready yet. Expected ship date - 6/2.

[southfork]

The mint just accepted my order for a second hot springs coin, they would not do so untill this evening.

They cancelled it, bmen.

[gliddenralston]

What do you suppose the mints costs are for these overpriced ATB's with ag down $15?. Do ya spose they might have $40+ in ag cost alone, just wondering as I contemplate pulling trigger.

[b_kauz]

Got my Hot Spring P today and I am more than disappointed as this is the worst looking coin I have recieved out of seven ATB sets. There are numerous deep nicks visible on the rim of the hot springs side.

[ChoiceBU]

Pre-sales on the bay are 350-400 and coin dealers will pay extra too if you want to sell them yours. So, it doesn't really matter the cost of silver, as there is a demand for these, at least for now -

Brisk Sales for Yellowstone Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coins

Sales of the 2010-P Yellowstone National Park Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coins are off to a brisk start. The United States Mint began accepting orders yesterday, May 17 at 12:00 Noon ET. By the end of the day, total sales had reached 18,143 out of the 27,000 total mintage.

http://news.coinupdate.com/brisk-sal...ed-coins-0836/

[MrLucky]

Hot Springs

Sales started off with a bang April 28 with a total 20,426 coins sold that day out of the 27,000 total mintage.

Yellowstone

Sales are off to a brisk start on May 17. By the end of the day, total sales had reached 18,143 out of the 27,000 total mintage.

Already slowing down.....can't wait to see the total sold in 2012. This may be a rerun of the Spouses.

Hot Springs



Yellowstone



Already slowing down.....can't wait to see the total sold in 2012. This may be a rerun of the Spouses.

I don't disagree about the possibility of this being similar to the spouses given the premium being charged.

But considering the spot price of silver or 4/28 vs. 5/17, I'm quite surprised it's that close. How many of those 1st day HS orders were cancelled after the drop?

[cpthnsolo]

Already slowing down.....can't wait to see the total sold in 2012.

Considering the massive drop in silver over the last month I'm actually surprised that the Yellowstone coin sold so many in the first day. If anything I think 18K+ on the first day bodes well for the series. Who knows what the future holds though. If silver dips back into the twenties the mint may have to drop the price on future 'P' pucks. Let's hope so anyway...

This may be a rerun of the Spouses.

Every single spouse struck after the first four (2008 to present) has increased in value faster than regular 'ol bullion. I sure hope this set turns into a repeat of the spouses .

[MrLucky]

I sure hope this set turns into a repeat of the spouses .

So do I, ............. so do I.

Except in spouseland, the early issues had a higher mintage. This is reversed, with the early issues (5) having lower mintages. Like I said, I can't wait to see how many sell in 2012. I'm in for the whole run, so I really, really hope it turns into a spouse story.

[AU+AG=Bacon]

Has anyone returned their Hot Springs P for the lines in springs? I was told they keep a thousand back for defective coins that get sent back. I am wondering if anyone else has done this or heard about it.

Bacon

[hernancortes]

A spouse story is not likely at all for the bullion releases. For the P's-- to a far lesser degree -- possibly. We will have to see what kind of collector base develops but in any case I think the 2010 bullion issues have much better promise for the numi speculator. It is a little hard to predict what state the mint will be in 10 years down the road especially with the PM market wild card.

[MrLucky]

My mint order for Yellowstone just went from "backordered" to "in stock and reserved". Also the availability date on the web page went from June 2, 2011 to May 26, 2011. Someone is moving up the action.

Hmmmm, and the First Spouse page says "not found".

[gringott]

Mine says in stock and reserved also. Nice.

I returned mine. It was scratched terribly, both sides. I checked replacement but they issued a refund.

Hot Springs P is sold out. Am not returning it! A couple are listed on the bay at high prices as mint errors - the wavy line and weak strikes on some letters.

Got in on the Yellowstone.

Yosemite National Park

Finally, some readers have reported that the US Mint's phone representatives provided a release date of June 7, 2011 for the next numismatic release featuring Yosemite National Park. I have not been able to confirm this date yet, but phone representatives had previously provided an accurate release date for the Yellowstone coin, before the US Mint's official announcement.
