Luckily I went big on both versions of bombay & saratoga. With the huge mintage numbers of 2016 I'll be passing but I'll probably still get a roll and a few P's of teddy just for the design
That's just AP orders. Just wait, by the next puck dealers will be severely stocked up on Shawnee and not order so much again
IMO, I think the mint is increasing the Atb 5 oz mintage this year because they're anticipating an increase in the price of silver which would lead to an increase in demand. If that is the case, then I would also expect an substantial increase in demand for the earlier releases with much lower mintages.
It's good to see this thread going strong and interest in these coins. I now have 195 ounces in pucks - mostly bullion. I did miss a couple of key dates (Hawaii, Acadia and Chaco) in 2012 that I was hoping would fall in price with the decline in silver. They didn't. I'm just going to have to bite the silver bullet and throw them in with my next order.
Looks like interest in these is picking up! The P Pucks are one silver/numismatic purchase I don't regret.
If there is demand for 120K 2016 bullion pucks then the values will go up on the 2012 & 2014 bullion pucks . http://www.coinworld.com/voices/louis-golino/2016/02/atb_demand_not_likel.html
Investors in the ATB bullion version, from 2016 onward, will no longer see the type of resale premiums that have become common. Where up to 2015, the combined mintage of the bullion and 'P' could not go over 65,000, from now on the combined mintage has jumped to 150,000. Allocations of the first 2016 bullion one, Shawnee, has already reached 55,000 in its first full week. Given the 'P' version consistently attracts sales in the 20,000 region, this leaves scope for the bullion dealers to now order up to 130,000 instead of the usual 40/45,000. Thirty one of of fifty-six strikes down; 25 more to go.
I like next year's Ellis Island . http://news.coinupdate.com/ccac-recommends-designs-for-ellis-island-and-effigy-mounds-quarters/ http://mintnewsblog.com/2016/02/effigy-mounds-and-ellis-island-atb-design-candidates/
Just got an email from the mint saying Shawnee P puck has shipped and in other news the bullion has sold 102,500 to the APs.
