    I'm not surprised considering the relatively low mintages for a modern coin.

    I have little to no interest in these monsta qwatas, no matter how " low " the numbas may go.

    But if those 2013 First Spouses start hitting 500 mintages I'll probably be like , wow shoulda coulda woulda. I could be flippin those
    Doggies for some serious cash.

    Oh well. Guess I'll be saving it all for the day after it all happens. All this newest latest low mintage bs is starting to be some boring
    stuff.

    Stated mintage limit was 25,000. Latest sales figures show 17,774. White Mountain is also sold out, with latest sales figures at 20,536.

    Considering the modest quantities struck, I think the Mint's price of $154.95 is reasonable.

    I have a subscription with the mint so I have each of the P mintmark issues.

    I kind of like these things, but don't consider them coins. More like medallions, or just ways to have a big chunk of metal. I may get the Mt. Rushmore since that's a favorite place of mine.

    That's the neat thing about them. They are all the above---legal tender U.S. Mint issued coin, a medal, and a big chunk of silver.

    I've been buying just the ones I like, either 69 DMPLs or P mints in 69, whichever I feel looks the best for the design. This is one of my favorites and I like the look of the DMPL over the P. The frosty tree contrasts nicely with the mirrored fields.
