Is it a good investment: America the Beautiful 5oz - The mint uncirculated collector coins ( NOT the dealer bullion coins ).
Is the low mintage because not very many people want them ?
I'm new in this direction but I prefer the appearance of the mint versions over the bullion:
And ordered this one:
2013 America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin™ - Mount Rushmore National Memorial, South Dakota (NQ9)

I don't know, but I do know that you have the most interesting pics.
And I mean that in a good way.

I sure hope not!
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
<< <i>Only if silver goes to $50/oz would it be a good investment. >>
I would love to buy 10 of these when Silver goes back down into the $9-$12 range. I do not know if that will happen or not, but that would definitely be when I would want to start buying them!

It's hard to see these as good investments at the moment, but as mentioned, not every purchase needs to be an investment.
Edit to add: seeing how much you enjoy these, that is the true return on investment.

<< <i>I suspect that the large size will keep them from getting a lot of collector interest in the future but no one knows for sure. >>
Collectors like big coins. Morgan dollars are more popular than silver 3 cent coins. Saints are more popular than gold dollars or quarter eagles. Etc.
The 5 oz ATB's are by far the biggest U.S. legal tender coin ever produced by the U.S. Mint and they are comparable in size to most medals.

The price of silver was such, when they came out, that it made them very expensive to have "for fun". Not that collectible as not easily displayed/stored, nor any real history with them.
As the price of silver continues downward, and perhaps stays low enough that the purchase price of these is more realistic, then the mintages may well go up, which they appear to be doing and, at some point, people may decide to get the whole set and need the lower mintage ones. That could cause a spike in their price and make them a better "investment".
That said, opportunity cost of what you could have purchased if you sold these now/earlier makes them unlikely to be considered a "good investment", imho
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Collectors do like those dollars but my theory is that there is not a straight line correlation to size and popularity. At some point you have diminishing returns. When the hatch on the safe deposit box is too small for the hub cap then Houston, we got a problem.
I have collected all the SP70 & the MS69 of the ATB 5 oz silver quarters 2010 thru 2018 so far,
yes they are big, bold coins I absolutely love them. People collect whatever touches their heart
I like that they are the largest coin the US mint has ever produced. I look forward to leaving them to my grandson someday. You can never go wrong collecting something that makes your heart happy. Bev in Kansas 9/12/2018
Sorry to say, I have some BUT I don't can't think of them as "A COIN" . . . in my mind they are just Silver!!
For some reason, I miss icons like these. I think they made the forums a bit more fun.
You only miss them because you disappeared for 6 months
I actually didn't miss any reactions on the hiatus. I'm not one that counts or starts threads about trying to get more reactions.
It's only when I'm on the forum and see the icon that I remember them.
They are just more fun to look at than the one we have now.
These are about as troublesome as a stack of Concrete Blocks. Big, heavy, IN THE WAY. BUT.... I keep them because well, one day I might need a couple... for something.
