thedeadpoint Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 An interesting article on the design contrasts in the 5 oz. bullion rounds vs. the circulating coins: http://www.coinnews.net/2010/10/08/america-the-beautiful-silver-coins-and-quarters-contrasting-design-images/ Quite the improvement thanks to more room for engraving and relief. The rounds: All of the rounds do look better but how much of that is due to the angles/lighting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 What premium will these be issued at? I'm kind of tempted to get the Yellowstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I like them. I'd be tempted to purchase a few of them but will probably use the money to buy something that matches my collection like Roosevelt dimes or Jeffersons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBobo Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Wow! They've turned boring quarters into big, boring and expensive medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 It seems that the implementation of this program is not very "collector friendly". The 5 oz'ers were only released to the few large companies that buy bullion directly from the Mint. So now the prices are way too high. Scratch them from my someday list.
