Sorry if this has been asked before but I got a e-mail from the mint saying "a limit of one coin per household is in effect for at least the first week." Does that mean there's a possibility that buyers could get another one if they don't sell out in one week? The Hot Springs took longer than one week to sell out didn't it?

The Hot Springs "P" took eight days from the start of sales on 28 April, 2011, before the "waiting list" verbiage went onto its sales page, indicating they sold all 27,000, and, although they could still be ordered, the order would go on a waiting list, and be fulfilled, most likely, with someone else's returned coin, or if someone who ordered cancelled their order on porpoise..
I don't believe they ever removed the one per household limit between the time ordering opened, and the time the waiting list screed appeared..
They still haven't moved the Hot Springs "P" to the "No Longer Available / Sold Out" page.. but for all intents and purposes, they ARE sold out.. at the Mint.. of course, you can buy as many as you want on eBay, or from dealers.. but doubtful you'll be able to find any out there for less than $279.95 plus shipping, despite Silver's tumble from over $48.00 an ounce when they went on sale.. to just under $34.00 an ounce (as I type this)..

I was debating whether to order a Yellowstone P puck, but decided to go ahead with it. I really like the finish on the HS I received. My order at 4:30 p.m. EST was 37494XXX, about 18,000 greater than the first one reported here. The question is: how many of those orders were for items other than the Yellowstone? This is a more popular park than HS, so I think it will sell out faster.
Order @ 12:07 est - 374770xx. One of the first ones I'm guessing, was slow but went through pretty quickly. Nothing like the HS puck 1st few hours on the website. I am guessing demand is way down!!

That's over 20000 orders the mint has taken today. How many are for the pucks is anybody's guess.
That is what he is talking about. I just saw that this morning. Then, I get to work and pick up my second coin from the front desk and open it - what do ya know? Same thing. I have this "daisy chaining" going on as well.
Any input? >>

Just looking at my three HS.
One of them has this about like the photo but a little less pronounced, another less so and one is totally clean without any of this. Don't know whether to send the two w/this in or not? I'd love to know whether any w/this have made SP70.
On another note, I really like The Mint's capsules. Fit perfectly unlike the Ait Tites. >>
Don't worry about getting it graded, sell it as an error.

<< <i>So if I order and ship to another address it will get canceled? >>
yes.
address and CC info have to be different. It cannot be just a different ship to address. (BTW, this has recently been reaffirmed by someone on this thread with some Hot Springs Numispuck orders that got cancelled. You can't "buy them for someone else.")
Anybody else selling theirs to CoinFame? I was only going for one Yellowstone-P but after seeing this $370 offer I decided to pick up an extra to sell.
So if I order and ship to another address it will get canceled?
Yes. I ordered three last time, all to different shipping addresses (one was even in another state) but if the billing address is the same they will cancel your order within 24-48 hours.
Edit to add: I did get my first order fulfilled at least.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Some of these may be for other mint products but I would guess most are for the Yellowstone 5 oz silver coin. It looks like there will be a fairly quick sell out with only 27,000 being sold.

Maybe if you have a PO Box, the distribution center will ship by USPS. Otherwise, if you have a physical address, they will ship either way. I know UPS will not deliver to a PO Box though our UPS store has PO boxes. Hum, this is getting interesting.
<< <i>Dudes think about what happens to a PO Box order when it can't be delivered. You are gonna owe me for this. >>
It gets returned. What am I missing? >>
LOL. You think thats what happens? You are guessing right? >>
OK, so inform us. What happens to a PO Box order when it can't be delivered? I've never had any problem, but not sure what you are even referring to... so please share the knowledge.
<< <i>I've had a PO Box for the last 24 years. I'd love to hear what is so bad about it.
Some vendors have computers that send via UPS to a PO Box. The Mint is not one of those vendors. >>
Up until a year or so ago, the Mint always shipped by US Mail. Now, it is my understanding both UPS and Fedx will not deliver a USPS PO Box. Has anyone ever had a UPS delivery to the USPS PO Box?
<< <i>I ordered but decided to ship to myself at my work address (different then billing) .... they will cancel that??? >>
If that is the only order, then no, they will ship it. However, if you try to order a second one, using the same billing address, then they will cancel it.

I have. UPS has my street address on file. The package gets diverted from my PO Box to my home.

Actually, that is different. The packages was not delivered to the Post Office, it was deverted by UPS to your home address before it was delivered to the Post Office. But, that may be a way around the order limits if it is worth renting a PO Box for coin purchases.
For the HS P-puck, my order went to our PO Box. I bought some prexy dollars to bring the total over $300. My wife's order (different email address, different credit card, but used our street address. Her HS was delivered by FEDEX overnight and her order was just for the puck. Go figure. I was able to order for the two of us again this time for the Ystone, got email confirms shortly afterwards.
We don't have a mail box on the street and use the PO Box for our mail, the street address for UPS deliveries.
BTW, UPS has a contract with the USPS and will deliver packages to the post office and then the customer gets a slip to pick up at the P.O. I've received packages (not Mint) that way and asked the postal clerk about it and she confirmed.
<< <i>I think the design is atrociously cartoonish.. >>
While I wouldn't go that far, I do have to admit that I'm not a huge fan of the Yellowstone design. Still had to get one anyway because of the park's historical significance.
If I had to rate the 2010 coins on appearance it would be...
Yosemite............. A Grand Canyon..... A- Mount Hood........ B Yellowstone......... C Hot Springs......... F
<< <i>Possibly SP70 will not be so common for P-pucks. Just got results for 2 of mine - both SP69

The last one that was least apealling to me is on the way to PCGS with the slim chnaces of getting 70....
So for very small sample set that I've got the chance of getting 70 is 0/4 ........

That may answer my question regarding how they take into account the metal flow stuff (for lack of a better term) that I asked about. Only one of my three is totally clean.

So hard to figure. Per the US Mint about 20K of the HS sold in the first 12 hours, but no backorder status for 8 or so days.
i guess the question the question on this ERROR version is are or will PCGS ANACS or NGC recognize them as such ,, and then how many were actually produced is going to affect what value gets placed on them
