I think this will be one of the most high-demand ATB pucks issued due to the design, etc….it’s really pretty cool……..and the premium over melt here is much better than that of 5 silver eagles. I plan on picking up a stack of these…just glad that the Mint didn’t bump the price with the runup in silver. If you’re looking for a great way to invest up to $10-$15k in silver, this is the ticket. Just my 2c….
Yep, it is a beauty. Good thing about it too (at least on the reverse) is the fiery spew design will hide a lot of flaws or nicks that would otherwise stand out like a sore thumb. The MINT will get away with a lot of mistakes on this one.
TBD, TBD, TBD…
There was a little manipulation of the silver market a couple hours ago. I thought oops here goes the price for next week’s hawaii puck. Keeping fingers crossed that the release will go on as scheduled and not be suspended pending reprising.
Better than the U.S. Mints collector version is the ‘bullion version’. Much closer to spot.
Yeah, the bullion version will save you probably $15/$20 per piece…but I’m thinking that there’s value in the UNC version that justifies that. Either one is the perfect item to buy right now given the premium on Silver Eagles, etc.
I was worried about the hawaii puck going to $225 also. Grab them while you can!!
The mint makes about 29,000 collector versions & 100,000 bullion ATB 5oz coins. Right now I see the bullion selling $1 more than the collector version.
I see monster boxes of the Hawaii bullion (100 pucks) at a bit less than $3 over spot silver…..about $183.00 each + shipping (as of today). The collector version will debut at $204 today….so that’s another $4/ounce premium. Both still better than mint-order Silver Eagles in terms of pricing. I think the mintage #’s for the Hawaii collector (UNC) version are going to be lower than that. Not sure. I’d pick up some today when they’re released. I’ve never been worried about a quick sell-out of the ATB UC’s before, but this might actually be the first one that does.… Read more »
