<p>[QUOTE=&quot;valente151, post: 1227138, member: 27564&quot;]I would assume you are referencing the ATB 5 oz coins with 2010 dates.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason for the price difference is that they are selling two different types of coins. The coins that the mint sells were minted in Philadelphia and carry a P mintmark, with a mintage of &quot;only&quot; 27,000. The coins have a satin, matte finish and are known as the &quot;Collector Version&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coins sold by APMEX carry no mintmark, (I believe they are minted in philly also but i may be worng. It may be westpoint.) and have higher mintages. The 2010-no mintmark coins carry a mintage of 33,000 and 2011 and on carry unlimited mintages. These coins have a more proof like appearance and are known as the bullion or investor version.</p><p><br /></p><p>In short, the coins sold by the mint are more expensive because they have a lower mintage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
