5 oz National Parks Rounds

<< <i>I doubt we will sell 10,000+ five ounce silver quarters in a year,
or even the same number of ounces, 2,000+ coins. >>




you do have at least a bit of a feel....

<< <i>Lastly, if the buzz about low silver inventories, diminishing silver stockpiles and Comex manipulation are partly true, there is a chance that silver prices could see a major hiccup sometime during this term of this 6-year program. I have no doubt that volatility in silver prices will cause more than a few whipsaws in both pricing and the mintages in this program.

Let the fun begin! >>



true true

I don't expect you folks will see these for anything less than $120 each possibly more.

Demand will be extremely high (as with any NEW product) in 2010.

Flipping will control pricing since those that don't have them will want them and be willing to pay for them.

Production may or may not be high on these but my guess is that the bullion deallers will have lots and lots of orders due to perceived demand and new product excitement!

Once the newness wears off, the production should exceed the demand and prices shpuld come down in 2011 or 2012. Will this create conditional rarities?

2010 pieces stand to lose some profit depending upon interest level. Keeping in mind that those folks who pay $52.00 for their annual silver proof sets may not be able to afford or want to commit to $625 for each of these pieces every year.

Given the fact that this is a new press and new production procedures to be used, I would not be sirprised if some "errors" appear. Will a new generation of Edge Lettering Errors show up on the market? Missing Edge Lettering, Partial Edge Lettering, Weak Edge Lettering? (That'll be interesting to watch!)

Exactly how WILL PCGS grade these since their current slabs won't work? Will they tool up and order new slabs along with new sonic sealing equipment?

IMO, this is a wait and see scenario which is gonna cost folks more that $100 each to play. Throw numismatics into the loop and the price will go up exponentially.

Collecting this stuff is gonna require a lot of money and commitment and personally, I'd rather they channel that silver in 2010-W SAE's and 2010-W SAE Proofs.

More speculation::

Initial demand - If sales were to be spread out, then I'd guess there might be a spike in initial demand. If these get released all at once, I'm thinking the "buying 5" costs will temper initial demand and reduce any initial demand spike.


And while there is going to be more demand in the beginning, I'm still leaning towards a "not hot" level of initial demand.

here is the APMEX listing

I don't see the $1, but they are $0.25 NCLT.

Interesting that it is the same denomination as the silver quarters with much less silver.

I think they are required to make an exact duplicate of the quarter design but they should have given it a $5 denomination. Maybe they will change that later when they realize how dumb it is. >>

They'd have to change the Law governing the production of these.

Attack of the giant quarters.


perhaps the idea for a big and thin version monetized at twenty-five cents was on purpose?
