<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afox, post: 1577385, member: 4934&quot;]It&#039;s an interesting piece of silver.&nbsp; I have many of them.&nbsp; I look for them at shows and talk to dealers about them.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see them very often at shows.&nbsp; Some coin dealers won&#039;t even sell them.&nbsp; You can get into a real debate about what they actually are with some people.&nbsp; A lot of times the argument tends to boil down to &quot;good&quot; or &quot;bad&quot; (&quot;I like &#039;em&quot; or &quot;I don&#039;t like &#039;em&quot;).&nbsp; Many dealers don&#039;t even know the full story on them.&nbsp; I talked to one guy who swore there was no such thing as the bullion version of these.&nbsp; Those are the one&#039;s you get from the likes of <a href="http://www.fidelitrade.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.fidelitrade.com" rel="nofollow">www.fidelitrade.com</a>&nbsp; or even <a href="http://www.apmex.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.apmex.com" rel="nofollow">www.apmex.com</a>&nbsp; .</p><p><br /></p><p>The US Mint has set limits on the sale of them.&nbsp; See this link for the numbers.</p><p><a href="http://www.numismaticnews.net/article/mint-stats-calendar-says-buy-or-wave-good-bye" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismaticnews.net/article/mint-stats-calendar-says-buy-or-wave-good-bye" rel="nofollow">http://www.numismaticnews.net/article/mint-stats-calendar-says-buy-or-wave-good-bye</a></p><p>35,000 for the collector series (the uncirculated P).&nbsp; You can see by the article that they are not selling out.</p><p><br /></p><p>But they will stop selling some of them come December 31 (see the link below), even though the limit has not been reached..</p><p><a href="http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?langId=-1&amp;storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=10001&amp;identifier=7600" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?langId=-1&amp;storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=10001&amp;identifier=7600" rel="nofollow">http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?langId=-1&amp;storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=10001&amp;identifier=7600</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>edit:&nbsp; many will respond with &quot;the collector series is also bullion&quot; - I didn&#039;t mean to imply that there was a bullion version and a non-bullion version.&nbsp; 5oz silver is pretty bullion - for many the collector series will carry a premium over spot - but it is really essentially a big 5oz chunk of silver.&nbsp;&nbsp; (I love them)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
