<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fusiafinch, post: 978774, member: 18382&quot;]Mint director Moy is not only planning to strike the 5-oz America the Beautiful quarters this fall, but also is seeking to strike proof and other finishes for collectors. It seems to me that he has confidence that these will sell well. Of course, they&#039;re only going to dealers and directly to the public, so I expect the initial price to be well above bullion. </p><p><br /></p><p>All this while still not offering the silver Eagle proofs because he says that they need to meet the demand for Eagle bullion coins first. It seems like they could meet that demand if they didn&#039;t spend so much time on these 5-oz versions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a story on this subject:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.silvercoinstoday.com/2010-america-the-beautiful-silver-bullion-coins-set-for-fall/102700/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.silvercoinstoday.com/2010-america-the-beautiful-silver-bullion-coins-set-for-fall/102700/" rel="nofollow">http://www.silvercoinstoday.com/2010-america-the-beautiful-silver-bullion-coins-set-for-fall/102700/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>How many of you are planning to buy these? Will these be a hit or a dud?</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t plan to buy any. I expect the prices to start high and move lower later. And us small collectors still need to buy these from dealers.... why not a direct path to collectors, especially for any collector versions? If he offered collector versions directly, I might buy one. That possibility is on the table.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
