    Looks like a state quarter to me?

    No, it's the hockey puck.

    I think the proof "P" will look better.

    I am not convinced these 'P' mint marks are going to be all that. After looking at my set, I think a burnished field with the shinny portrait on the obverse, like the reverse proofs, would look better. Not sure what you could do the reverse to carry that look over. The sky? The water coming out of the bidet?

    So these are the 5 oz .999 silver "Pucks" that every one has been waiting forever for?

    Are they marked 5 oz.999 Au anywhere?

    On the edge. Next year probably somewhere else and will also be shrinked.

    edited to add: you meant Ag.

    Is this for sure? My understanding is that a smaller size is permitted but not required.

    Nothing is sure with the Mint!
    My understanding is the same and since the Mint bought a new press in order to mint 3" round with edge lettering, I would bet that next year the pucks will be the same size.

    Honestly, I think the 5 ozers are silly looking. The size of an ashtray and the face value of...a quarter.

    They look like play money.
