C'mon gang -- the Ms isn't made of time. This is a ONCE in a lifetime opp to invest in a WAY cool PM coin. 2011 strikes WILL be different in terms of quantity and demand.
We need multiples, not singles, to make the quota and minimize the Ms's time and efforts to make this worthwhile.
We're over half-way, deuces and triples of each will make this more worthwhile. Don't make the Ms go crazy with minimals -- it might scuttle the dealski ...

<< <i>Interesting that it is the same denomination as the silver quarters with much less silver. >>
I think they are required to make an exact duplicate of the quarter design but they should have given it a $5 denomination. Maybe they will change that later when they realize how dumb it is. >>
One good reason to maintain the face value at 25 cents is to entice the millions of quarters collectors to buy in. If the denomination were changed to any other symbolic face value, it would give them a logical excuse to opt out.

Just out of idle curiosity, since I will have other sources if I decide to buy any of these, who will decide who gets which specimen?
Certain people (and you know who you are) are always accusing us evil dealers of cherrypicking each and every silver eagle in a monster box before selling the coins. I am sure that this will not happen here, but how are you going to handle complaints when somebody gets the piece with a contact mark or strike through on the Arkansas Bidet coin?

Not every dealer would do that, but people like APMEX has to get their MS70 ASE First Strikes from someplace.....
and this year (last year to some extent, too), there seems to be a bountiful supply of them.

<< <i>I am interested in one of each as well. Details for when and where the money is to be sent I assume will be forthcoming? >>
Not up to 100 coins per issue yet.
When we get closer, I'll try to finalize things.
We need multiples, not singles, to make the quota and minimize the Ms's time and efforts to make this worthwhile.
We're over half-way, deuces and triples of each will make this more worthwhile. Don't make the Ms go crazy with minimals -- it might scuttle the dealski ...
If it's not too much trouble, please list the commits (with numbers), that you have so far, just in case you've missed someone.
Also, in addition to my tubes of Yosemites and Grand Canyons, add 1 each of the other three for a total of 23 from me.

Certain people (and you know who you are) are always accusing us evil dealers of cherrypicking each and every silver eagle in a monster box before selling the coins. I am sure that this will not happen here, but how are you going to handle complaints when somebody gets the piece with a contact mark or strike through on the Arkansas Bidet coin?
Welcome to "Why Coin Dealers Drink, Part CCCCLXVI"
As stated earlier in the thread. Enough people know I'm a dork enough not to cherry pick if I promise not to cherry pick.
I promise not to cherry pick.
There will be a list made before hand (probably from the order the money arrives or something similar) I'll place me in the middle.
First person gets the first coin. period. Next person is next. no picking and choosing.
>> Since this is a monster box, and not a little blue box of MS70s from PCGS, there will definitely be less than perfect coins. <<

Not every dealer would do that, but people like APMEX has to get their MS70 ASE First Strikes from someplace.....
and this year (last year to some extent, too), there seems to be a bountiful supply of them.
APMEX is still selling the 2010s First Strike... 20 or more 89.99
They're not coming from eBay!
