Ordered the ATB Chickasaw 5oz. "NP10"

MFHMFH Posts: 11,720 ✭✭✭✭

Ordered the latest issue of the America The Beautiful special issue
with the Philadelphia Mint Mark, Chickasaw, on February 9th, and
it arrived by UPS yesterday afternoon, February 16th.

Now, I can send in all five 2011 issues to PCGS this afternoon.
I decided I was no longer going to collect the normal sized Quarters
anymore after the States and Territories - they really do nothing for
me. The new ATB designs are quite nice in my opinion, but the size
of the Quarter is so small you can't really appreciate the design.

Not so with the Matte Pr/ MS newer P issues. They really are a piece
of art and the details are amazing. The only reason I am getting them
hollered, is that they will be easier to display. Also, there's something
to be said about hefting a 5 oz coin in your hand.

I have the 2010 series already in PCGS holders - so I look forward
to the receipt of these back from our hosts.

Just thought I'd share - and I already know some of my friends will
be all over me for collecting these. However, the down side on these
isn't too bad. 95% of their value is bullion related.

Which leads me to another topic to be discussed soon.

    I am with you on this one, and also received mine yesterday. I am not getting my graded as I took a beating on the 2010's . I did pick up 1 bag of each of the Puerto Rico quarters as they finally lowered the price on the bag back to the Old level, but only on those. Which makes me wonder if they did that because there is no chance of getting them in circulation? Good luck on your grades ...........Enjoy tom

    Mine also came yesterday. There must have been a mass mailing. Great looking coin and a neat series to collect.

    There's so many ways to get creative with displaying them! You could literally make a wall of silver with them. It'd look awesome. image

    I saw a large rack with shelves just deep enough to display
    them. I'd get a sheet of plexiglass to over the rack once its
    completed. I know it'll make a great focal point in my study.

    I think one would need a container the size of a pool and a crane!

    I dipped all of mine when I bought them and before I sent them in for grading.

    By dipping do you guys mean acetone or e-z-est?
