And, maybe it's just me but I get a chuckle that your Saratoga is being shipped from Sarasota. Call me crazy but that's slightly humorous
I like the Kisatchie ( because I"m hunter) the most followed by Blue Ridge ( which I hope has the lowest mintage for the year) Saratoga is my least liked design.
You are so right sodude; Saratoga is available again and now the Bombay Hook is sold out. They are asking $200 and more on ebay. Folks are paying $240 and more for the Blue Ridge. It will be interesting to see if the Bombay Hook gets a similar bump.
Bombay Hook is still listed as currently unavailable on the mint website not sold out. Don't know if you have a better source? I hope it is sold out though.
Seems like they're making the play on saratoga due to the first day sellout popularity. My guess is bombay will not go back to available (knock on wood) because of all the demands on the mint right now for 2016. We should know soon though because they cannot mint 2015 coins in 2016 so they either just struck some more and will add them soon or they didn't and if they don't add some Bombay's soon we can safely assume it will go to "sold out" in a few weeks Make sense?
Here is the beginning of the year update on the pucks. Although four of the five 2015 pucks are still on sale, I'm guessing that the Bombay Hook and Saratoga will soon be sell-outs. Both pucks are already selling for over $170 on the bay; probably as a result of the on and off availability on the mint website. Meanwhile, the Blue Ridge is selling for $250 on the bay. The Hawaii and Acadia pucks continue to hold substantial value.

Interesting, sales for Saratoga declined by almost 500 as of this week's report. So, rather than the mint making more, it appears returns/cancellations are for sale now.
Not really. It was probably a dealer order that fell through so probably not returns in the usual sense
Weird, it's there at your link, but not when I check the mint's AtB section. Edit: It's there now, but wasn't a minute ago. I've seen this before on the mint site - it's there, it's not, it's there, .......
A few Saratoga and Bombay Hook available again this morning. Just snagged a Bombay Hook...lowest mintage for 2015. Go get them. TC
