They seem to have a decent price on coins that are at least slabbed
for protection.

The Mint made 60,000 of each of the 2010 ATB hockey pucks and
barring changes to the law, won't be making any more.
33,000 of each carried no mintmark and were sold to SAE primary
distributors under, shall we say, "product specific" conditions.
The Mint still holds 27,000 "numismatic" copies of each that
carry a "P" mintmark. It has announced that it is going to
release these directly Real Soon Now. However, that too may
require legislative action -- 31 USC 5112(u)(2)(B) states
that the hockey pucks "may only be available for sale during
the year in which such circulating quarter dollar is issued."
There may be an overriding section somewhere else, but I
don't know where it is.
Expect the mintages for 2011 to be higher. At a guess, the
2011-??? issues will trade at or near spot, similar to the
First Spouse uncirculated issues.

The price for these alleged "coins" has been dropping by the week.
Frankly, I don't think there are 33,000 collectors out there that want these
things at anything other than close to bullion value.
Silver is about $40/oz now and adding in a 10% or so markup, these things should
be selling for around $220-$230 each.
YMMV
I terribly surprised that RCC hasn't yet mentioned that one of this
forum's very most favorite coin dealers of all-time has been running a
"want ad" for the hockey pucks in NN for the last couple of weeks.

Speaking of our favorite dealers...
Have you seen the 2nd rate crap Provasek is auctioning on eBay?
I look once in a while (not certain what the point is, though) and
inventory turnover seems very very slow. Rumor is that whenever Frank
finally peddles the last of the coins, second hand vids/ cds and "Goo
Gone", he's going whole hog into the exciting new field of "Male
Tampons".
I really don't want to know what that's all about, but I'm certain
that Reed Gainsburger will be a buyer.

What do you have against Provasek. His material is high quality and
he has excellent feedback. But you lie about
Israel and Jews, so why should we believe that you are anyone other
than a SICK PERSON FULL OF HATE?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I never said a word about Jews, either positive or negative.
But I do think Israel is a gangster, terrorist state run by butchers.
Provasek sells 2nd grade crap and unethically attempts to make buyers infer that
his "slabs" by discredited TPGs are actually validly certified.
You, sir, are an idiot.
No, Bobbie doesn't hate Israel and the Jews any more than he hates
anyone else.
He's just a little lonely failed suicide glomming welfare money off the
work of Americans who actually, well, work.
Note that he got confused on this one, responding as Asswipe B when his
original comment was from Asswipe A.
Is that one not-quite-white whore your Mom, Burke??? Good looker, but
she must have been fucking somebody really stupid when you were
conceived. Hope she got a lot of $$$.
Long Live RF!!!

Hey Oly! I'd ask if your mama and daughter still do threesomes, but
thankfully you're too stupid to reproduce.
And gee. Looks like momma only got most of your brain with that coat
hanger, huh?
Probably sad to say, the only mutliple-partner thingie that I ever got
close to being involved in was with the wife and two kitty cats we
used to have.
The cats would sit on the headboard of the bed and eat popcorn and
comment on our technique.
