Will the first 2 issues of 2012 ATB Bullion set new purchase lows?

With the final 2 issues of 2011 ATB Bullion dropping off of a cliff in a super strong metal market, what
is going to happen when the first 2 issues of 2012 roll out, given the fact that they are relatively unknown
parks that wont even pull in the the pick and choose crowd?

With Chickasaw languishing at 17,500 units moved (I predict it will end up at 25,000-ish), is there any hope that these
2 yaners are going to move more than 10,000 each?

    going to be hard to tell.

    maybe if silver catches people's interest again?


    APMEX's price is competitive with their 1oz ASE pricing. Perhaps it is that it's not an ASE ??? Perhaps it is the "giant quarter" look and feel?


    If the current mintages are any indication, it would seem the "2010 numismatic rarity" was just an illusion. I feel bad for all those that bought the hyped ones on HSN and CSN.


    they definitely seem to be headed towards their intended purpose: bullion.

    Maybe, but I predict they will still outsell the "P" minted version.

    How about a new marketing plan for the Mint? Instead of selling the bullion pucks one design at a time, sell the whole year's worth in monster boxes with 20 of each design?

    Well they're bullion coins right? Maybe they'll finally be treated as such. I really like them as a form of bullion where I can get them for just a couple bucks over spot.

    Even though I hold the 2010 bullion's and P's, I really like the idea of buying these ATB's as bullion rather than bars. They're cool to look at and display but also are just bullion.

    Then again, I hope my 2010's don't sink to spot price. Oh the humanity!
