I don’t think there is a “White Mountain” in NH – people refer to the White MountainS plural – in Vermont it is the Green Mountains. Yes people say White Mountain National Forest, but I’ve never heard anyone refer to a ‘White mountain’. I think this is a mistake of sorts. we used to take a trip to the White Mountains when I was a kid, not the White Mountain.

Once again it seems we have bullion collectors tabulating the premium over melt on a mint issued collectors coin and complaining.

The is an obvious solution to your problem with this coin – buy the bullion coins and you’ll be fine.

It is highly unlikely the person who buys this coin with the P mint mark, will be doing so with the idea they’ll sell it at melt prices in the future. I bought 2 of these – the mint issue at $179.95 and the bullion coin at $142. I wish bullion collectors would stop reading these stories.

wonk – you must have speed read the article – and totally missed most of it.

@wonkwonk, did you read the same article as me?

It doesn’t seem like it. The mint mark on the coin is obvious starting with the first sentence, and the article states how they are on the numismatic coins and not the bullion coins. In terms of trumpeting a cheaper price, I haven’t seen other sites actually list the premium for this coin over its melt value. I suppose the article could have linked to a past one talking about when prices were lowered http://www.coinnews.net/2013/05/01/us-mint-to-cut-2013-silver-eagle-and-5-oz-silver-coin-prices/.

I like how the pic has the P mintmark whereas the five-ounce version, according to the article, will have no such P. I think the copy is hilarious, trumpeting how much cheaper this coin is versus previous releases without mentioning silver’s more recent performance. I also find the premium (price over spot) to be offputting.

Thanks Rhonda. That premium over melt value seems a little steep, no ?
