shhhhhhhhhhhhhh you don't want to draw attention to this thread. From now on any announcements about the release date will be required in sign language.

pitboss · February 20, 2011 9:09AM

We will have probably a month to learn sign language then.

BigDaddyz · February 20, 2011 9:43AM

only until the 8th...so I can win the giveaway

pitboss · February 20, 2011 9:46AM

<< only until the 8th...so I can win the giveaway

>>

Don't hold your breath on that one.

boucharda · February 20, 2011 10:00AM

I would think there would be a date announcement at least 2 weeks prior to the sale date......

revoldlog · February 20, 2011 12:48PM

Does the law require these Proof Pucks be struck in 2010?

If it is true, then why the Mint is still holding back the release date?

Would it be also possible that the Mint did not stuck enough of those Pucks in 2010, and they are looking for ways to work around it?

CaptHenway · February 20, 2011 2:36PM

A. They are not Proofs.
B. They were struck in 2010.
C. The Mint is run by people insufficiently skilled in the marketing arts.

PinkFloyd · February 20, 2011 2:36PM

Either waiting for silver prices to jump further or there's a holdup on the presentation boxes, I think.

boucharda · February 20, 2011 8:49PM

<< Either waiting for silver prices to jump further or there's a holdup on the presentation boxes, I think. >>

There probably was a typo on the COA and they had to be reprinted...

This could get pricey....silver market is open today and crankin' again....steaming towards $34 and a more expensive P Puck

Surely you must have! >>

Giant Quarters

puritan9 · February 20, 2011 9:16PM

Boucharda, I agree

rodzm · February 20, 2011 9:28PM

Me thinks these will sell the week of 3 March...nothing scheduled between the 3rd and the 17th...looks like a good time to sell them

CaptHenway · February 20, 2011 11:29PM

Good catch.

djm · February 21, 2011 1:58AM

Can somebody explain why the mintage is going to be so high on this, when they can't sell out the 33K bullion coins at half the price and that was at 7 per houshold.

CaptHenway · February 21, 2011 2:30AM

If they are sold in sets of five, then "Clusterpucks" would be a perfectly legitimate term for the Mint to use.

How about " Sucker Pucks "

itsnotjustme · February 21, 2011 12:55PM

I heard they would be sold on May 25, about 5 minutes before 5:30 PM.

boucharda · February 22, 2011 7:58AM

Man....I thought there would be a mid March sale date announcement today.....

Maybe APMEX has taken over the Mint's sales department....

epcjimi1 · February 22, 2011 8:27AM

I heard the ATB puck Program Director was waiting for the Mint Sales Director who is waiting for the Asst Mint Director who is waiting for the Mint Director to approve a price of $1,395 for a set of sucker puckers.

OPA · February 22, 2011 9:34AM

<< sucker puckers. >>

jmski52 · February 22, 2011 12:49PM

sucker puckers for pucker suckers.....

PinkFloyd · February 22, 2011 12:52PM

<< sucker puckers for pucker suckers..... >>

How many pucks could a puckersucker suck if a puckersucker could suck pucks?

Not sure why, but something about that sounded a little wrong.

CaptHenway · February 24, 2011 5:53AM

itsnotjustme · February 24, 2011 9:23AM

I thought I made a funny on the release date. C'com laugh for me!

CaptHenway · February 25, 2011 10:37AM

Somebody want to go drive by the Mint's fulfillment center and see if they are stringing up any barbed wire or anything....?

Just in case Monday is P-Day!!!!!!!!!

Or, if they are just going to sell the Hot Springs, B-Day!!!!!!!!!

Coin Finder · February 25, 2011 11:19AM

The only way to make sure this is a "fair Distribution" is this..... It has to be by email only and it has to be a lottery. I ticket per household for a set of 5. Tickets are free, they will be e tickets and will go only to those registered on the Mints website or on their mailing list. Sign up and then they will draw 27,000 names electronically at random March 31st 2011, and that's who gets them....

Question ...why would anyone, of moderate intelligence, purchase the burnished version @ 35-40% over spot, when there is a possibility now of getting a PCGS PL or DMPL graded bullion version? What would you rather own...PCGS MS69 DMPL or a "P" PCGS MS69?

I guess all I can say is that.... I'm not of moderate intelligence? Probably less.

Sounds about as complicated as the rules to Fizbin.

pitboss · February 25, 2011 2:59PM

They would never get that straight.

MsMorrisine · February 25, 2011 3:38PM

bullion puck prices have fallen to the $1550-$1650 range, and these "numismatic rarities" are not sold out yet!

I think they can sell all online without any frenzied lottery. Each issue may actually take a few days to sell out! Imagine that!

coasterfan · February 25, 2011 3:46PM

Admit it. Even if Earth was being invaded by aliens on the day these go on sale, you'd all be sitting in front of your computer trying to add these to your shopping cart.

Let me know how THAT works out......

jmski52 · February 25, 2011 11:38PM

I've been trying to stay "plugged in" to the Mint website and this thread for a release date. Has anyone heard anything new? Last I heard, it was going to be in February...............

segoja · February 25, 2011 11:42PM

Probably not February

agentjim007 · February 26, 2011 12:27AM

Australia used a lottery for their popular Kangaroo coin I sent in a form and got one. It is the only fair way to sell these pucks. I know the guys that have everyone and aunt Mary order for them don't like the idea.

Not if they were the Bud light female aliens

CoinMaster1229 · February 26, 2011 1:42AM

How about they take orders for 24 Hours, then issue sets to those that have spent the most with the mint in the past.

timber100 · February 26, 2011 1:50AM

<< How about they take orders for 24 Hours, then issue sets to those that have spent the most with the mint in the past.

Or issue tickets to buy to people who have bought from the mint in the past

boucharda · February 26, 2011 3:41AM

I just think they should let the AP's distribute them. Everything went so smoothly with the bullion variety......

Now that I think about it if I remember right both versions of the pucks were struck right around the same time....so in reality the AP's at least got SOME into the hands of collectors. The Mint is still pulling a Coins and Things and have released zero coins

Has there been any official documented Jack Hunt puck sightings? Can't remember...

Edited to add - I can't even remember what thread I'm in.
