well the pension check came in and I ordered one this morning.Guess Ms Morrisine was right no quick sellout for these.Makes me wonder if future years will have lower mintages?

Well I think it's pretty impressive considering:
1. Nobody really even knows what this coin is gonna look like 2. Most people had never even heard of Hot Springs NP before this series 3. The design on the coin looks more like an elaborate toilet than a national park
Besides, if it had sold out too quickly I'd be stressed about not being able to complete the 2010 P set.
I'm guessing when we get to the well-known parks like Yosemite, GC and Yellowstone the demand will be greater. >>
It will certainly be interesting to see how Yellowstone sells.

The only thing that comes to mind is FIFO, and the potential for sealed boxes being 1st strike eligible, not that I'm in to that but it's a consideration for some that want an early order. I don't even know what is up with the FS stuff, seems all of the 33k were eligible.

<< <i> But 12-pack boxes of Pop Tarts are on sale at Walgreens for $1.99.. >>
Dude. I'm all over that. Think they will take silver for a case or two? >>
Hah!.. in my experience, whenever Walgreens puts anything (that I want) on sale for half-price, by the time I get there, there's usually a gaping, empty hole in on the shelf where the item isn't.. there was ONE box left.. Strawberry.. not my first choice, but I took it anyway..
Besides.. at the rate Silver is falling ($41.60 an ounce, as I type this!).. if it keeps this up, a Silver quarter will be worth 25 cents in a while..

FYI--Mint contact tells me none have shipped, but all are sold. They are now building a "substantial" wait list in anticipation of cancellations and returns. Many were canceled during the 1st few days for violations of the one per household policy and a "substantial" number have been canceled by the customer in the last 24 hours...
With the big drop in the price of silver over the past few days, is anyone thinking about cancelling their order?

Any pullback in metals will only be short-term. Inflation and the weak US paper dollar will keep metal prices going up for at least 2-3 more years--but never in a straight line. Don't panic!
<< <i>With the big drop in the price of silver over the past few days, is anyone thinking about cancelling their order? >>
Well let's do some math, class..
When these went on sale, Silver was over $49.00 an ounce, I think.. let's round that up to $50.00 an ounce.. the Hot Springs P was (rounded) $280.00.. so that was $250.00 worth of Silver, with a $30.00 premium. give or take..
As I type this, Silver is at $40.74.. so round that up to $41.00, and five ounces is $205.00, bumping the Mint's premium up to $75.00 per coin..
If the Mint did the right thing, they'd lower the price for those who have not been charged yet.. but they only diddle with Gold and Platinum coins based on those metals' spot prices, not Silver..
Meanwhile, Jesse says "one order has been delivered", while drei3ree says "Mint contact tells me none have shipped"..
These two statements are totally contradictory..
Jesse.. could you please post some photos of the package and the coin if you have one in-hand?..

Nothing surprises me coming from the mint, they sold out, they haven't sold out, they shipped and nope theres no way they shipped. I really thought my contest was a good idea, I now realize I was really drunk at the time............................................pink floyd. Still waiting for the sell out sign to be put up.
<<Still waiting for the sell out sign to be put up. >>
I do tend to believe the Mint's "assembling a waiting list/cancelling orders for not following the 1/per HH" storyline.
I'm actually surprised they would be shipping this quickly considering they're likely still wading through reems of potentially suspicious dupicate orders.
I wish they would just sell the 2010 set all at once. Buying each one in separate transactions is a real pain.

I called the PBGS people today and they are still selling them. I was in DC today and they don't have them, of course, but knew they were not sold out yet in Indy.
So, the last of them are dragging.
No one has been able to give me the number sold so far. I've tried calling in again, but the people I talk with say they don't have that info. Perhaps the earlier person was yankin my chain(could have been PBGS-BS after all).

Being the FIRST to show these after a year of speculation is a big freak'n deal.
