I am thinking the 2010P sandblasted will not be as pretty as the bullion versions (if anyone considers these pretty) and after the dust settles, the 2010 bullion MS69 DMPL will be more popular than the sandblasted ones. Everyone likes shiny things
<< <i>I'm thinking the DMPLs and PLs will look better than these sandblasted version, too. >>
I've been thinking that way all along...I'll probably get one of the mint "blasted" sets anyway, just because it will be the low mintage year of these, but my money is on the bullion versions...
<< <i>Me thinks these will sell the week of 3 March...nothing scheduled between the 3rd and the 17th...looks like a good time to sell them >>
This theory is not looking good, but didn't they say they would sell them in the first quarter? That ends in 24 days.

Yes they did. I even have it in writing on Department of The Treasury, United States Mint, letter head and signed by Division Chief, Brand Management, Diane Teigiser. In the letter it states:
"You may also be pleased to know that a numismatic version of the three-inch, five-ounce silver coins, also minted in .999 silver, will be available for purchase directly from the United States Mint during the first quarter of 2011. The maximum mintage for these collector versions is 27,000 units for each of the five 2010 coins. Additional information about the release date and pricing for these coins will be available at a future date. Please check www.usmint.gov regularly for updates."
<< <i>I'm thinking the DMPLs and PLs will look better than these sandblasted version, too. >>
I disagree. I bet they will look like the Silver Eagle Reverse Proofs. The devices will probably look prooflike with the fields appearing sandblasted. Just my 2c. Really looking forward to them!

Dear Diane, I have been regularly checking the Mint's website about every 25 minutes. What did you mean by "regularly"?
Q: Are You Printing Money? Bernanke: Not Literally
An "informed source" at The Mint told me these would not be available before May. Now whether we will be able to order them before that & have them go on instant BO like the recent commems, they couldn't say. At any rate, it appears likely we've got another 2 more months of waiting for these. Good luck with CnT today
"The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary."
At this point, I'm inclined to believe that. If these were really going on sale by the end of the first quarter, I'd have thought those TBDs would have disappeared by now.

How about a lottery picking 27,000 of the "longest term" active USM customers
Bought my first Proof Set in 1963, and my first Mint Set in 1964. Remember how long you had to wait before getting a little acknowledgement postcard in the mail? Maybe 2 months? And then, another 2 or 3 months before you got your order?
Q: Are You Printing Money? Bernanke: Not Literally
I just find it weird that the Mint is announcing the 2011 pucks before they can even get last years P Pucks out the door (or even announce a date to get them out the door)...
JUST DO IT FOR PETE'S SAKE......It's simple....."US Mint will take orders for the 2010 Collector's version on (fill in the date).
.........................................................................on (date TBA) take the orders (a few before the site crashes anyway)
.........................................................................put everything on back order as usual
.........................................................................ship when convenient or whenever anyone has a chance to get to it
.........................................................................repeat again for the 2011 P Pucks in a few months
So what if the "packaging" isn't complete yet...they're not going to be shipped right away anyway.....
