will not be as big [in size] as the first (5) coins issued, is there any truth to that? 
If so, can you provide a link as to "why" and... just how big WILL they be? (seriously)
Thanks!

I believe that it has been stated that the sets will continue to remain the same size of 3". The mint is all set up for it now.

Correct on both points!

If you were to talk to someone else at the mint you would get a different answer. Those people don't know s---.

When you call the mint doesn't someone from India pickup?

Batman is correct. Due to the Coin Modernization Act, they can change the size of these to somewhere between 2.5"-3". However, it was stated sometime in the last two months that the size would remain at 3'' at least for the time being. Makes sense, as they've "perfected" striking them at 3''--and while that is difficult--why change it up, creating possible problems and a rerun of the last SNAFU?
I wouldn't be too surprised if they change the size at some point in the future though.
The 2011 bullion ATBs will surely be minted in much higher levels, so they will probably be treated more like the ASEs (no need for HH limits, etc).
<< <i>When will they go on sale. Will they be sold on the US Mint site. >>
The bullion versions will continue to be sold only to dealers; however their will be "collector" versions with a "P" Mint-mark which will be sold via the Mint web site directly to the public. The only question is when this will happen.
