These weaknesses are on direct opposite side of obverse and reverse. Like the planchet was thinner in that location. However, why would this be in the same location on more that one coin if it was from thinness? It would show up in random locations by luck as it was placed in the press. Hmmmmmm??
Only problem is the puck was not in the shipment!!! Needless to say he is bummed and very frustrated. He was charged for the puck. I thought maybe there were two boxes coming but he only got one tracking number. The box says 0.9lbs. and that is what it weighs with just the uncirculated set. I guess we will be on the phone with the mint in the am.
I hate crud like this...why cant they just get it right?!?!?
Edit to add: So we log into his online account at the mint and it lists NO ORDERS in his account history. Geez! >>
===========================================
BULLION is shipped separate. At least for this issue. Therefore, you will receive 2 packages, probably on different dates.

There is likely a 2nd box coming. I had the same order you did, and only 1 tracking number. Got 2 boxes. (see earlier post by me Monday). One in each box. 2 tracking numbers ON THE BOXES (1 each) but only 1 at the mint. Give it a day or so and call the mint if you need after that. They are shipping, I believe, from 2 separate locations. 1 for the pucks and 1 for the other stuff like the mint set.
When it rains -- it P-Pour's. And I don't stutter. (I thought)
Three arrived today. A fourth is on a slow boat to a POB. [Friends and family addy's] I opened one and it appears to be from the same die as Kud's pix.
Will this affect the grade?
I have to admit, these are quite spectacular. Although I think I like the mirrored finishes better on the bullion's, many are plagued with heavy die polish which isn't that attractive. The P's are more consistent in "look".

If you return it, you may get a refund instead of a new coin since they may have sold out by now.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Looks like die damage. Perhaps the upper die slipped in its die holder and came down at an angle, clashing against this die in an arc. It might then have been smoothed down and reused.
Since the Mint can't hub these dies and has to cut them with a laser, which I imagine must take some time considering the size of the dies, they might try to extend die life. This is all speculation on my part.

My wife doesn't know it but she ordered one at 730am..not sold out at that point....maybe she'll get the last one before the rejects go to the waiting list crowd
IMO, everybody has an opinion but I am with you on the "bidet" as it is rather atrocious. Well, bought one anyway...I want the Vicksburg, whenever the da-- '11s come out...
Love that Milled British (1830-1960) Well, just Love coins, period.

Any bets on the price dropping on the Yellowstone or others with the drop in silver? Getting 10 this year vs 5 is going to be a bite, might have to mix it up with the 'bullion' ones.

Thanks all for the advise in regards to shipping and not everything coming in one box even with one tracking number. My son and I will wait and see if another box shows up today before we get too excited with the lack of a puck in the box.
<< <i>I think Yellowstone will sell out quicker than the Arkansas Bidet. >>
Won't that depend on the price of silver and what the mint will be charging for this coin? If the premium over melt is high, I can see a few collectors opting out.

The mint capsules have a 100% better fit than the Z5. The Z5 leaves 3-4mm "airspace" between the surfaces of the coin and the capsule. The mint capsules are a "custom" fit.
Got my Hot Springs 2010-P from the Mint today. They shipped it UPS even though I didn't pay for expedited. Nice.
I ordered mine a little after 8pm EDT on the first day and it took around 2-3 minutes for my entire order to go through... so glad I didn't fight the ordering system earlier in the day like so many others
The coin looks alright I guess, but it's pretty boring compared to the DMPL bullion versions. Those are just way cooler looking to me.

I ordered mine in the first hour and a half they went on sale. Still no puck. Called them today. On phone 20 mins while they tried to figure out where it was. Said it went out last week but I never got it. Told me to call back in a few days if it doesn't come in.
