It looks like the Mint won't put the edge lettering and will reduce the diameter.
These 5oz "quarters" won't even be the exact duplicates of the quarters.
I think we weren't that wrong choosing hockey puck as nickname!

    I still do not see how a 3" 5oz silver piece was this damn difficult.

    I like the designs, but hope the pucks aren't giant quarters. They deserve better.

    That's true...like counting your chickens before they hatch...Most of that type of bills die of old age

    I do not see any chance (so it probably will image ) of this passing this year. Even if it does, there will be another excuse not to mint the proof ASE's. I have zero faith in any word that emanates from the mint. Cheers, RickO

    Don't need a new law authorizing the mint to strike proof ASEs. They're striking proof AGEs in the face of high demand for bullion non-proof AGEs aren't they?

    Govtrack.us follows proposed legislation as it moves through Congress.

    Here is the link for HR 6162..... "To provide research and development authority for alternative coinage materials to the Secretary of the Treasury, increase congressional oversight over coin production, and ensure the continuity of certain numismatic items."


    govtrack.us HR 6162


    I believe Congress breaks for recess - Nov. elections - on October 8th...


    Edited to add: **** Passed the House; 'read' twice in Senate; referred to the "Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs" **** Here is a link to the committee website: link

    Not according to the Mint ... demand has dropped...planchets now available for the proof AGE's
