No, the Mint has NOT lifted the limit 1 5 oz silver coin per household.
Their website messed up, I ordered the 2nd one last week, but later got canceled.

If you look along the edge you will see the weight and fineness of the silver. It is on the coin. The 2nd one is listed as sold out now.

The strange thing about these coins are that they look exactly like the “quarters” that they are based from. There are no identification markings that say they are 5 Ounces of Silver or that they are .999 silver. This is only on the paper insert that comes with the box (COA). Only other identifier would be on an NGC or PCGS certified coin. This could make it easy to counterfit these coins. Stay with direct mint purchases or certified coins. Better safe than sorry!

These are special collector versions and are produced with an uncirculated finish and display a “P” mint mark for the United States Mint at Philadelphia, where they are struck.

What are the real world difference between the uncirculated and the bullion coin other than the box and mintage. Basically, how can one tell just by looking at the coin alone???

With regards to the 2010 America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin™ – Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming (NP2)
Per US Mint: Ordering Limits:
A limit of one (1) coin per household is in effect for the first week of this product’s release. At the end of this period, the United States Mint will re-evaluate this limit and either extend, adjust or remove it.

As of this date (5/28) the Mint has not yet removed the one per household limit!

Also… Mintage Limits:
The 2010 America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin – Yellowstone National Park – is limited to a total mintage of 27,000 coins.

This 5 Oz Silver Coin is still much more affordable than $2,092 for the 2011 One ounce Proof Platinum Eagle coin !!!

It appears that the mint limit of 1 per household has been lifted for this product
