Ordered two. I will wait for my third. I have no luck with the early orders in trying for a MS 70, so will order in a few days to see if the later ones are better quality.
Thinking many are waiting to order the puck with the proof eagles to save on shipping. That's what I am doing. I still have three keepers of each release, have been doing good grading wise.
FAR smoother. I'm guessing less demand on opening with these historically taking about 2 weeks to sellout.
What's the rush then? (I ask myself)

It will be interesting to see if the quality issues that plagued the bullion versions of this coin are repeated in the P's as well. If that is the case, then a 70 GC should realize quite a nice premium.

Me too but it did not process correctly. Be sure to check your email for confirmation numbers. Mine went smoothly and the status went to "Suspended" within seconds. I called and the rep could not explain why so I ended up ordering over the phone. The rep also said she just had another similar call.

According to the video that was out recently there shouldn't be any quality issues. Then again when someone opens a box and says that the coin inside has the longest scratch I've ever seen, it do make you wonder.
Well we will see what happens to pricing for the 2011s... I would think they should be cheaper. But who knows ... ITS THE GOVERNMENT so rationality is completely out the window
I can see this series eventually selling as sets of individual designs rather than yearly sets. The contrast in surfaces is striking. A Grand Canyon SP70 & MS69DMPL would be quite the set.

I would have been real nice if they put those coins right into the capsules. Instead they put them in a box and sent elsewhere. Lets see a video of what happens there...

Perhaps you should suggest to someone at the mint that they review the video along with the coins that get returned and ask themseleves wha the hell happened in between. Then suggest that they put them into the plastic capsules hot off the press. I wonder if smoe disgruntled employee smoewhere is taking his/her/their wrath out on the pucks.
Frankly I wouldn't mind if the mint started putting their coins into sonically sealed PCGS type holders.
Sigh. Can't wait to buy some regularly priced silver after the next one. These 2010s are going to be it for me for P ones I believe. >>
I'll be happy when I can start converting some of these to 90%. Sure hope they don't just end up in my silver stacker pile Worst case is I've got 300 ounces of atb silver.
I think you meant 37805xxx. Looks like they sold about 5000 in the last 5 hours.

It's on the BST and subject to change. Today's price is/was $350. Could change at anytime. I agreed to sell mine to them for the $350 as they are always super easy and upfront to work with.
That's about 12000 sales since sales for the GC began. Of course not all sales were for this coin but I would guess that the vast majority were.

Forgot that the ordering started yesterday! Thought it was today. Placed the order at 6:45 AM today and it shows back-ordered for July 1st.

BUT, when I tried to place my wife's order on her laptop (different email, different address, worked before x2), I got as far as step 1 and then when proceeding through checkout, it went to a blank page and looks like an error code in the URL. Tried closing the browser, going back into the Mint site and it still showed one item in the cart. Still couldn't complete the order.

Maybe a cache issue? Sounds like it may be trying to load the page from memory, not the USM website. Try a reload? Running it through another internet browser might do the trick too.

i figured out a way to order a bunch of them and have them shipped to differnt address in my town and then have my local ups guy bring them to my house ((( find the loophole )))
One of the nice things about UPS is that they have the same drivers do the same routes, so it's possible to get to know them, and vice versa. I have a buddy who has a rock & fossil shop near my apt. He doesn't open until late afternoon. Early one afternoon, when I was walking down the street, the UPS guy pulled over next to me, said hello, and told me he had a package for my buddy, and would I like to take it for him.
Contrariwise, last week, my buddy told me he had a UPS package for me (which was addressed to my apt). It's very handy!

Not sure about to your house, are you using the apt numbers trick? I know there is another way. The multiple CCs is easy to get around.
<< <i>i figured out a way to order a bunch of them and have them shipped to differnt address in my town and then have my local ups guy bring them to my house ((( find the loophole ))) >>
Just have them leave a delivery notice to have it delivered to your addy. UPS will relabel it with their name c/o your address!! You sly fox.

My daughter ordered one under her BF's name, got ordered and cancelled 3 times. They said it violated the one per HH policy. Not sure how they figgered since it wurkt twice before. That was for the Yosemite puck.
Odd at the longer time gap between Grand Canyon P and Mt. Hood. Other products coming out between then? It'll be interesting to see where spot is at the end of July....
Names are not the dealbreaker with Mint orders. If that were the case, every John Smith in the country would be up ship creek.
