5-17 2010 ATB Yellowstone National Park

[scrapper2010]

Just got mine. I agree Hot Springs was but tugly. Yellowstone looks better.

I liked the design of all of them, really. I was not expecting the crappy state the original ones were allowed to be delivered in. The Hot Springs"P" quality was what I expected from any Government mint release... I am not a collector, so I may be nieve on that point, but I prefer this quality...hopefully the Yellowstone coin doesnt make me a liar!

I've got mine ordered going to have the set, and like some here I will just put in away for my kids.

[hejira11]

I am not going to be having kids, the idea of passing them to a younger generation is a luxury I can't entertain. Mine will probably be stolen by whomever will be changing my diapers 30 years from now. I very much enjoy the COLLECTING phase rather than a completed collection. Having said that, lets talk about ROI.

Order #: 37489XXX

Busy day.....finally got to the PC to get mine

[Chief]

Got mine today via telephone @ 11:35cdt. Phone line was busy for a while, but after 20 calls I got through. Can't wait until it arrives.

[hejira11]

I got mine online in 6 minutes...as stated in the Hot Springs Thread, I am totally ADD. Ever second between 12:00EST and the second I get the confirmation page is like being in purgatory. I would not wish it on a dog. Is the phone any less stressful? Are the reps friendly or stressed out too?

[Chief]

It sucks ordering via telephone because I had to call about 20 times before I got through, but the rep was very nice and order went through smoothly.

[Neckro]

I think the wait wasnt too bad was because of the huge difference between spot and numi cost.

[daviscfad]

its pretty sad that it only has a fv of 25 cents.

Really! I had a WTF?? moment when I first heard that. Imagine TSHTF and you are starving trying to buy a loaf of bread and the vendor wants 5 FRN's but will not take that "big fake quarter" LOL

[daviscfad]

its not a fake quarter. The mint website says it is legal tender and has a value of 25 cents

[hejira11]

I've seen vids where people try to buy fast food and such using silver and gold coins many times the value of the purchase, but the cashiers will not take it. I don't find these vids funny. I don't blame people for not knowing, but I can imagine a similar scenario wtih the 5oz "quarters" What would someone make of it if they didn't know what it was? I doubt I would take it even at "face value" 5 years ago. I simply was not interested in our debt, money...etc.

I remain a fan of them, I affectionally call them "Silver Hockey Pucks," I've heard others call them, "Silver Coasters" but the denomination still puzzles me.

Watching these presales for the Yellowstone 5 oz on Feebay. The Hot Springs were selling like hotcakes. The premium is not there I guess for the "2nd in the ATB series" of big shiny coins.

That suprises me a little, given the popularity of Yellowstone National Park. I bought the Glacier N.P. coin for sentimental reasons. It is the only 2011 I don't consider "bullion." If you know what I mean.

Like anything else, I came to the conclusion long ago about FRN's. Being from middle america when I was growing up you had a very hard time passing a Canadian quarter, now it seems as though unless your running it through a machine they take it and toss it into the respective American FRN slot and call it good.

When the FRN's are no longer trusted a new TRUSTED will take it's place.

I would challenge that it is not always money that is valued in the moment.

[cfnnb]

My card got charged. Looks like these may be shipping soon!

[daviscfad]

i also got charged

[Neckro]

Charged me twice for 1 lol.

[slickeast]

My card was charged. One got cancelled. No biggie, got my friend to order me another.

[fasteddy]

they hit me this morning...I will be looking for it on Monday. Cheers to (ya'll)...headed to Lafayett LA for Boudan and mudbugs..WOOHOO!

[hejira11]

I got the Email that it has been shipped. DAMN that was quick! I thought I was goning to be waiting until after 6/1.

[Neckro]

Free overnight. I got screwed and paid for overnight last time

[fasteddy]

Just received my ATB YNP "P" coin...looks nice but has scrapping or rough handling on part of the edge.

[daviscfad]

you should contact the mint for an exchange. I got mine also and it looks nice
