Well, it looks as though, either by design or ineptness, the Mint has created a new key puck for the ATB 5oz P series. Move over Volcanoes!!

This situation has happened a lot in the past 2 years gentlemen. The collector “P” version 5 oz pucks & the plain bullion version pucks are made on the same (& only one special coin press for the 3-inch diameter coins) & they supposedly only make them in batches of 100 coins each at a time. Therefore, if they don’t see orders coming in to reach 100 coins towards the last couple months of a year, they call a “no longer available” so they can move on to the next design or go on a coffee break! They have not produced to total demand on the collectible “P” version which they have said at the beginning of the past few years would be about 20,000 to 25,000 coins & as you have both noticed they cut them all off at below 19,000 (even below 18,000 on some). The Mint simply cannot abide by their upfront promises on the annual mintage limits of these “P” vapor-blast 5 oz silver coins sadly.

Does anyone know what the story is with the George Rogers Clark Silver 5 ouncer? 25k limit and listed as “sold out” on the Mint website with only 14,739 sold….. and 3 other 2017 pucks are still for sale with greater totals. What gives?
