How are you feeling about the minting, release, and/or purchasing of the next group of 5 ounce pucks?
Like'm?
Hate'm?
Could care less?
What do you think the interest will be--heightened or lessened with regard to the first group?

Just took the plunge on the first two from A-Mark. Their website states they will be PCGS graded or NGC graded. When I went through checkout the statement was that I would receive PCGS graded coins. We shall see.

Edit: I like them and am kind of excited for them. Concerned though about cherry picking this year though unless you buy a whole roll. Whereas last years we got to buy them from the source which is a rare opportunity for most AP's since we only could buy one set.

He is asking about the 2011's, not the 2010's.
I like them, though they aren't perfect. There is a lot of canvas there....I'm not sure if they are using it as wisely as they could. Especially on the Washington side. I have to admit that some aspects of these are a little "cartoony." A move to 2.5" might help that, if they don't change things up a bit.
The 2011 designs--IMO--are superior to this year's.
Should be an interesting 10+ year run. Especially with the antics so far. Collecting this series is my personal priority. It combines two of my loves, so it's a no-brainer for me.

2011
I think the cherry picking could be awfully tempting and lucrative at least initially if the one per household policy is still enforced. Full rolls would probably be dicey as well because I don't think they would be mint sealed.
Time will tell.
I also don't know if I'm going to collect the bullion series or the collectible series. For some reason, I think I am going to hate the finish on the collectible version.

Well, even the ASE rolls are not truly sealed.
The cap pops on and off easily.

My point exactly, then compare mintages to the ASE's and you see the recipe for a handsome profit for taking a peek. Not that anyone would do that!
I'm still waiting for the first group of 5-ounce pucks; where are those "collector" versions?
<< <i>Wake me up when these are at spot+$10/per, like they're supposed to be, then I'll buy. >>
Well I guess you slept too long 'cuz that comes to $902.50/set and they have already sold for less or near that price....the most I've paid for any of my 5 sets was $920

I'm still sleeping then as I wasn't about to jump through all the hoops to get any of the first batch ones. Glad for anybody that got theirs cheap though. Wonder what the pricing will be from the mint.
Amark selling first two until midnight Pacific tonight
<< <i>Amark selling first two until midnight Pacific tonight >>
What happens at midnight? Do they turn into pumpkins?
Ask them. Maybe they will have sold all of their DMPL's if I'm lucky.
May have to wait up to 60 days to receive coins.
Does this mean they haven't been sent to graders yet??
What say you?
