A. They are not Proofs. B. They were struck in 2010. C. The Mint is run by people insufficiently skilled in the marketing arts.

Can somebody explain why the mintage is going to be so high on this, when they can't sell out the 33K bullion coins at half the price and that was at 7 per houshold.
If they are sold in sets of five, then "Clusterpucks" would be a perfectly legitimate term for the Mint to use. TD

I heard the ATB puck Program Director was waiting for the Mint Sales Director who is waiting for the Asst Mint Director who is waiting for the Mint Director to approve a price of $1,395 for a set of sucker puckers.

The only way to make sure this is a "fair Distribution" is this..... It has to be by email only and it has to be a lottery. I ticket per household for a set of 5. Tickets are free, they will be e tickets and will go only to those registered on the Mints website or on their mailing list. Sign up and then they will draw 27,000 names electronically at random March 31st 2011, and that's who gets them....

Question ...why would anyone, of moderate intelligence, purchase the burnished version @ 35-40% over spot, when there is a possibility now of getting a PCGS PL or DMPL graded bullion version? What would you rather own...PCGS MS69 DMPL or a "P" PCGS MS69?

Admit it. Even if Earth was being invaded by aliens on the day these go on sale, you'd all be sitting in front of your computer trying to add these to your shopping cart.

I've been trying to stay "plugged in" to the Mint website and this thread for a release date. Has anyone heard anything new? Last I heard, it was going to be in February...............
Q: Are You Printing Money? Bernanke: Not Literally
Australia used a lottery for their popular Kangaroo coin I sent in a form and got one. It is the only fair way to sell these pucks. I know the guys that have everyone and aunt Mary order for them don't like the idea.

I just think they should let the AP's distribute them. Everything went so smoothly with the bullion variety......
Now that I think about it if I remember right both versions of the pucks were struck right around the same time....so in reality the AP's at least got SOME into the hands of collectors. The Mint is still pulling a Coins and Things and have released zero coins

<< <i>only until the 8th...so I can win the giveaway
Don't hold your breath on that one.
If it is true, then why the Mint is still holding back the release date?
Would it be also possible that the Mint did not stuck enough of those Pucks in 2010, and they are looking for ways to work around it?
B. They were struck in 2010.
C. The Mint is run by people insufficiently skilled in the marketing arts.

There probably was a typo on the COA and they had to be reprinted...

This could get pricey....silver market is open today and crankin' again....steaming towards $34 and a more expensive P Puck

How about " Sucker Pucks "
Maybe APMEX has taken over the Mint's sales department....
<< <i>sucker puckers. >>
I knew it would happen.
<< <i>sucker puckers for pucker suckers..... >>
How many pucks could a puckersucker suck if a puckersucker could suck pucks?
Not sure why, but something about that sounded a little wrong.

They would never get that straight.
I think they can sell all online without any frenzied lottery. Each issue may actually take a few days to sell out! Imagine that!
