Latest Provident Purchase

I'm sure you folks recognize this one.





I bought one when they 1st came out. Unfirtunately, I didn;t realize that it was going to be a "Series" of 2 ounce silver tokens even though, i'd purchased 2 of the second release.




Well, here's the third in the series. (Latest Purchase)



At $40 a pop these 2 ouncers are almost as expensive as the SAE produced by the US Mint for collectors.

Crap, I didn't realize a third was now out. Now I gotta go get it

 

Ole stupid me didn't realize that the second one was out even though I bought it!

 

I think the first one looked really nice and the next two aren't as good. I bet they're impressive in hand.

 

I don't think $40 a pop is bad at all, not that long ago people would have considered double that a fair price. May come back around again, never know.

And I especially like that first one. This thread reminds me that I need to go catch up on the latest episode of Black Sails

 

Guys, the FOURTH one just came out. It's called "The Kraken"

 

Here it is with a link for those who want one. I must say though that they raised issue price by $5 on these compared to p3...

They are neat tokens. I only have the second one...So far.

 

I have bought several of the 2 ouncers & the plastic capsules for them.
They feel nice in your hand

 

Ugh!

It's becoming difficult to keep up with these!

 

Tell me about it. I think they were originally slated for 5 in the series if the first 2 were popular enough. Not sure, with the emense popularity, if they are looking at more than the 5 now though

 

dang another one and I just spent my budget this month and next months also. I missed the first one not wanting to pay $55+ for it. They are impressive in hand.

 

These are quite impressive on many fronts. Nice, hefty 2 oz. feel. Well-executed, high relief design. I imagine they'll be pretty cool once they pick up some gold toning at the rims. Early issues are now hard to get.

 

Thanks for the tip! Paid a little more for mine than you did. Love these things!

 

If anyone grabs any extra p4 Krakens and wants p2 Sirens or p3 Pirates hit me up

 

Crap, I thought the pirate was the new one. Now I gotta go get ANOTHER. haha

 

Didn't you see my above post hours after lee posted this J

Yeah, they seemed to release p4 under the radar without much fanfare for some reason. I'm wondering if apatites are begging to wane on this series? I have rolls of p2 & p3 but there's too much I want coming out in the next couple months and didn't plan for p4. I plumb forgot about it actually

 

Rolls of them? Nice! How much did you pay per coin? I have been buying them off ebay and probably overpaying. I don't really see any decent priced p4 ones yet. And no, I missed your earlier post

 

Whatever they were on presale at the time. Around $36-38 per. They seem to sell in the $45-50 range on ebay. Missed p1 so I bought a few for $40 from Mike kittle last September

 

My 3 Krakens arrived yesterday
I bought the plastic capsules for them also.
