Too bad they did'nt offer all 5 together,
could have saved us $20.00 in shipping....

Wonder how many of those I'd have to return to get at least a 69 out of it........

Barney1955 · June 17, 2011 2:17AM

I'll probably get my usual one each of these. Like you I wish they would have sold these as a set, save a lot of time messing around trying to order early on line.

However if they did offer these as a set wouldn't that box set be quit a sight to see!

"However if they did offer these as a set wouldn't that box set be quit a sight to see!"

Agreed. I'm seeing a two tier display box in my mind!

There is still hope for the 2011's to be released as a set of 5 or as singles. And the price of the 2011's could be lower because of silvers decline as well as higher mintage. Fingers crossed.

Phaethon · June 17, 2011 4:09AM

I wish they would .... but somehow i doubt it

Looks like the interest in this coin has gone south.

Along with the rest of the silver "bullion rounds."

illini420 · June 28, 2011 3:29AM

Yeah, for the last one there were half a dozen guys paying people to buy them from the Mint on their behalf. Haven't seen anyone looking for buyers this time around. Seems like the First Spouse coins all over again.

If so, does that mean some of these ATB coins from the next year or two will be worth double and triple their issue price in the next few years (like the lower mintage First Spouses?).

Yes. No. Maybe. My crystal ball is cracked.

PinkFloyd · June 28, 2011 4:14AM

Thanks for bumping this thread. I'll be ordering tomorrow!

BAJJERFAN · June 28, 2011 5:18AM

Couple here!!

The flippant flipper.

Bochiman · June 28, 2011 5:27AM

Spot has dropped so much since they were priced, I think that is hurting them.
I, too, was thinking of the similarity to the 1st spouse "coins"....

DrBuster · June 28, 2011 5:38AM

Man I just got the last one 5 days ago. Might wait on this one a bit.

PinkFloyd · June 28, 2011 5:59AM

I dunno, three out of the five now have sold out in 2-3 weeks, which is pretty good for a product from the Mint. Especially considering that the forum banter has really subsided AND the heavy premium over spot.

Also consider 2010 gets three of the most visited national parks out of the way quickly.

Quality of the designs will drive these as the places become more obscure. If the Mint can hammer out more good designs like the Vicksburg, these will jump the Spousal shark.

Plus the spouses do not have a circulating quarter program going with them. The circulated quarters are just starting to reach the public. I think this program is very very different from the spouses. Will it end up with the same result? I can't answer that. I don't think so but thats just my opinion.

To play devil's advocate against myself, I believe the first-year first spouses sold quickly too. There's also some real market-dilution happening this year with the Mint's products, and the economy is not leaving lots of spare money floating around that can go toward coin collecting.

I think the big drop in silver prices make these less and less of a good deal.

Keep in mind. Last year 34 million ASE's purchased. This year almost 20 million so far. ASE Proofs always hot. More and more will gravitate their silver purchases to something new and fresh once they get a sniff.

In for two, not to be graded.

boucharda · June 28, 2011 4:57PM

Sticking with my three...this time they're not being graded

indiananationals · June 28, 2011 9:43PM

ill take 5 please

Barney1955 · June 28, 2011 10:15PM

With these selling out in 2 - 3 weeks I really can't picture these as being dogs down the road. Each year has a changing finish and the popularity of the parks being featured in the first five issues with a limit of 27,000 each being released makes me think that these will continue to do well. It will be interesting to see what the mintage will be on the 2011 coins going forward. I too think that it will be at least 50,000 and this total will most likely sell out well before a year is up.

I think the Grand Canyon issue will be very popular do to its design but do to my limited budget I am only in for one.

mbogoman · June 28, 2011 10:56PM

I'm in: 2 to keep, 2 to sell and offset the cost of the keepers.

1tommy · June 28, 2011 11:00PM

No More for me stopped just before yosemite, my one buddy wants to continue to get the set even with the poor results from grading the first 4. It amazes me to look thru coin world and see all the ads for sp70 . Has anyone gotten a sp70 back from the first 2 on this board? Enjoy

RichR · June 28, 2011 11:15PM

I see Yosemite has now moved to backordered/waiting list status...when did that happen?

Still in for 3 .. but wont know about gambling grading cash until i see them

BAJJERFAN · June 29, 2011 1:12AM

Wonder why no order linky for the GC yet.

123cents · June 29, 2011 1:19AM

Grand canyon

pf70collector · June 29, 2011 1:22AM

I still think the less popular parks will be less than 27K. If silver goes back to $20 an ounce, it may help the series. If the mint maintains a 40% premium, it will kill the series. I think they want to pay off those expensive presses. They are hypocritical because they did not want the APs gouging collectors on the 2010 bullions, but they are doing it worse than what even Apmex did in the beginning.

Corrected for a 40% premium.

BAJJERFAN · June 29, 2011 1:46AM

<< Grand canyon >>

Thanks. Don't know why it wasn't coming up for me.

derryb · June 29, 2011 1:55AM

Bailing out of the series. Premium to high, resells too low. Not even worth the cost to maintain a personal set.

OPA · June 29, 2011 2:02AM

<< Bailing out of the series. Premium to high, resells too low. Not even worth the cost to maintain a personal set. >>

I'll stick with the bullion version...premium over melt is less than the ASE's bullion.
