@Blue – See what I mean? Only adding evidence against yourself. So go take your mustache and white panel van elsewhere.

Bill you hit the nail in the head… Even though mint products are more expensive, and I completely agree with you in that sometimes prices are ridiculous, specially when silver dipped to $36 and they were still charging $279 per coin… or when spot price increases and they halt sales… I still think is a good investment overall because if you decide to sell it is very likely you will recover your investment and make a profit. We fill entitled to a higher premium because it has the “P” or the “W” or it is burnished… And the truth is that collectors seek those features in the secondary market; you were able to squeeze $375 more from apmex.

It has been tough coming with the $279, specially because they were so closely spaced in time, but if I find the money I’ll keep collecting them. They are really gorgeous coins, they will make a great set. Also, the mintage difference with the bullion is bigger with this new one.

James, I sold the 5-2010’s to APMEX today for $1,500. Im sure they will give you a higher premium for your graded rounds. You have to be selling at least a grand to qualify to sell to apmex. Make sure you tell them its the P-Mint also, they only wanted to give me $1125 until I reiterated that this is the P puck (not the bullion)

A&L futures, agreed. I’m am gonna boycott the mint.

The mint is charging the same price that they would not let the AP’s sell the 2010 bullion pucks. How hypocritical.

Another example of their greed is $40 for $20 worth of ATB quarters – they can stuff it! Why raise the price $8 from last year? If inflation is up that much, then the same govt is lying about the SS COLA and CCI index. You cant have it both ways Treasury Timmah!

Well, I bought the first (4) ATB Collector Versions and plan on selling them at a fair price if anyone is interested. I did not buy the Mt. Hood. 3 of the 4 that I have are graded by NGC also. Any Takers??????

@Blue – I am not an investor, but a casual collector. So don’t suggest that I do something that I am not interested in. Blue is another poster that talks like a big-boy behind the anonymity of the internet.

Quit whining…since when did the US Mint care about the collector? With the exception of the first issue of the 5 oz bullion coin. Lousy images on the collector coins and minting to many different coins, the mint is only interested in profits. Don’t buy the over priced coins, buy bullion and wait for the collector coins to go down once the gold bubble pops.

I agree with A&L Futures’ concerns.

When I heard about the 5 coin eagle set, I initially suspected that they might even try and price it as high as $499. Realisitically, it could be closer to $399. A steep price to pay.
