I wonder if these coins will follow the same path as the first spouse gold coin series.

I am a super genius but I don’t understand how the APs were only suppose to make a profit. What is a “fair” mark up? Why doesn’t anyone call the Mint and complain about people marking their coins “First Strike” or “Early Release” and charging nearly triple for a made up value? Why do brand new coins encased in plastic need to be graded? I’m gonna chase Road Runner now.

I go by what Sarah once said: “Don’t interfere with the free market!!! that’s what the socialists would do!”

Dave, no offence, but why are you so obsessed to give the high profit to the authorized dealers? With the limited mintage, you have to be early and lucky to get the coins no matter how they are distributed. APMEX had 1000 sets of them sold out in 17 hours as well. Only because you happened to know some dealers other people don’t?

THANKS TO ALL YOU WHINERS OUT THERE!!!So what if the distributors were making a profit or would you all prefer the goverment control everything. but if you are true collectors you should realize the potential of these rare coins.sure the mint may sell the P-series for a little less but good luck getting through on the website as they will probably be gone in less than a couple hours. I tried getting through when the silver eagle proof went on sale ended up waiting till later that nite. so with a mintage of only 27,000 ea later won’t happen and you will still be out and wait to see the prices in the secondary market on these!!

Are they going to make proof versionS of these? The mint usually kills us on those.

I agree with Larry Kinney! However, besides selling them directly to the public, make it by subscription, only. This way, everyone has a chance to get a complete set. I’m so tired of watching those “clown” on “The Coin Vault” telling people how they made such a great deal and that’s why they are holding prices so low. I do business with a very reputable web site, several in fact, and I bought 5 ER PF-70 2010-W Silver Eagles on a pre sale and paid only $495 for all 5 and no shipping or handling.
Coin Vault, take a lesson from real dealers.

Way to go “Mint”. Cancel the dealers orders. It is clear they are out to charge the public as much as they can get away with! Sell direct to the public with a limit of ONE of EACH “Park” Bullion per household!

It looks like I have been priced out of the market, at least for the bullion version. Authorized dealers, your greed is showing.
