Good find, Krup. Here's another article that was listed on that page. It gives the sales figures for various Mint products. Looks like the Chickasaw bullion is now the key coin. It probably won't stay that way long though. http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis/Article.jsp?ad=article&ArticleId=24729 Did you catch the fact the article said the Mint's new website should be up and running by the end of 2012 or early 2013? I wonder if I can contact the Sportsbook in Vegas to make a wager on that.
There are 2 versions of each puck: bullion aka aluminum foil finish and numismatic aka vapor-blasted aka matte finish. The bullion have to be purchased from dealers and the numismatic is purchased directly from the Mint.
