I've decided to just mail APMEX a check for $100 and avoid all the hassle of ordering the puck, taking time off from work to sign for it and mail it to them. Thank you for the pleasant transaction
My CC was hit when I looked first thing yesterday morning but no word from the Mint. Hum, collect the $$ but not shipping. Sounds like the Federal Government for ya.
I wonder if I will be a blue box with an "IOU one 5oz silver coin" inside!
Yes. Will be buying the Vicksburg. I missed out on the Olympic DMPL. I can't find one anywhere and decided not to wait for Apmex or MCM. I think the Dealers are shying away from submitting the DMPLs because of small profit margins. Look at the Gettysburg DMPLs. They have taken a dive. I could wait but the later DMPLs might not be First Strike Labeled.
My raw Vicks should be arriving any day -- hopefully will be some gradable. Should be spectacular in DMPL.
I've been waiting to see them hit MCM, figured they'd have them first. Only NGC's are available.
The Getty's in PCGS 69DMPL FS have softened, but I'm thinking once these get exposed more this fall, they will rebound. Pops report now shows 1160.

MCM nor Apmex offered any of the Olympic in PCGS MS 69 DMPL. They are none on ebay either. The only ones I see are the PL versions. The Olympic FS deadline I believe was June 23 for the Olympics. I just bought the Vicksburg for $415 with my ebay bucks. About a $115 premium of what the Gettysburg are fetching. Well worth it.

Yes, we have the NGC at $349 (MS69DPL) on our website and expecting the PCGS to arrive any day now, price unknown but we always try to come in below what's happening on eBay.
As for the $415, I only had $15 in ebay bucks. I offered a price at $430 for the Vicksburg. None of the past sellers on ebay have them I asked several sellers if they had anymore.

John, I just bought Vicksburg NGC from you yesterday. Can't wait to get it. Love also the Gettysburg I just got from you. $349 is a great price for these.
Good news! We just dropped the Vicksburg NGC MS69DPL from $349 to $285. How's that for a good price? You may wonder why we would do that this early.... well we monitor competition pretty much 24/7 and found it elsewhere for $299. If you bought one at $349, don't panic, since we've only had the product for two days you will get a credit for the difference on Monday, you don't even have to call. If you do business with us you know we always try to have the lowest prices, and if we don't we will usually match or beat. Official price match policy is going on website in terms and conditions section tomorrow.
Whoa -- $285 for Vicks, NGC 69DPL ER, killer price from MCM!

Very commendable for a company to to credit back to folks who purchased at a higher price. $285 is a fine deal for a great coin in a high grade. Will pick up one or two.

Thinking about starting a collection of these pucks but just curious how do you store your pcgs/ngc slabbed pucks? Do they make storage boxes for them? If so do pcgs and ngc slabs both fit or is it like trying to put ngc into a blue box? Thanks

Doesn't seem to make a lot of sense for these to suddenly go back onsale in unlimited quantities. Sure, there were returns, but were there that many returns to open it up for a free for all? Seems fishy; not in step with what's happened so far with these.

They still have 2010 Mt Hood, then they start on the 5 - 2011 designs, all by the end of the year, not to mention 2012 issues will be up soon after that.
Look at the bright side, they might not increase the mintage for the 2011 and they might decrease the price.
My GC has obverse rim damage caused by the incuse lettering; starts at the "D" and ends at "M". Looks like the coin lifted during the incuse process. Ugly, but interesting.
Have bought 3 each time the P pucks came out. Sent to PCGS most all looked perfect except H.S. I got 1 SP70 out of each set except H.S. had to pick it up aftermarket. But Dang sure is hard to get a70.

No one has these Olympic PCGS First Strike DMPLs. Pop report is only 70 Up only 11 from last week. I would buy from MCM but they didn't have the PCGS Olympic DMPLs and was not sure they would have the Vicksburg. Even though I paid $130 more than MCM for the Vicksburg I wanted to secure one. I fought for the last PCGS First Strike Olympic DMPL on ebay last Sunday but a bidding war erupted and the final price was $530. There will be DMPLs I am sure of the Olympics but they most likely will not be First Strike since that deadline was June 23. I want a matched set.
PM me if you have an Olympic PCGS First Strike MS 69 DMPL.

Hi John,
I just looked up the current populations on these and see that they show only 69's. Do you know if all of your submissions came back 69? Just seems odd to me for bullion strikes.
Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.
The pops report seems always lagging behind, thought it just wasn't current. There are NO Glacier 69DMs listed. 4 DMs only in lower grades. Were there die issues preventing DM grades? I didn't get any, so have no idea how they compare.
For Olympic, there are only 56 in 69DM FS. Anyone out there get a batch of either Oly or Glaciers and compare finishes to other issues?
EDITED: Glacier 69DM FS are available on eBay, so it appears they are more plentiful than Oly's. The Pops are unreliable.

I see the Vicksburg MS69 DMPL's have hit ebay and seem to be selling well with one seller having sold 4 of them so far north of $400.
Still 6 left on ebay if anyone wants to grab one before they are all gone.
