2010-P Yosemite Five Ounce Silver Coin Not Sold Out, Limits Removed
July 13, 2011 by Silver Coins Today Staff · Leave a Comment
The 2010-P Yosemite Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin has not sold out, as previous reported on this site and others. An official from the United States Mint on Tuesday stated that the waiting list for the coin was removed as well as its one coin per household order limit.
Yosemite’s silver coin debuted June 9. In a matter for four days, 76% of its inventory left US Mint shelves. Then, the waiting list appeared on the Mint’s online ordering page on June 23. But the move was an error as the orders had not reached their maximum 27,000 mintage. The mistaken waiting list notice was overlooked for nearly three weeks.
The Mint described the incident as follows: "The 2010 America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coins™ — Yosemite National Park are not sold out. Unfortunately, however, a message saying that a waitlist for the coins had been put into place was inadvertently posted to the United States Mint’s online catalog on June 23. As soon as we learned the message had been posted, we removed it. We also lifted the household order limits for these coins the week of July 4. We regret the error on our part and the inconvenience the posting of the waitlist language caused our customers."
According to the latest US Mint statistics, the Yosemite silver coin sales total equaled 25,338 as of Monday, July 11, which left 1,662 up for grabs. When news of the removed household limits spreads, however, those last few coins may sell quickly. For more information on the coin, visit the Mint’s website (http://www.usmint.gov) or this site’s Yosemite Silver Uncirculated Coin information page.
As for the 2010-P Grand Canyon Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin which went on sale June 29, another 6,166 were still being offered by Monday. Collectors purchased 19,300 in the first four days and 1,534 more during the first full week. Its latest figure showed 20,834 of its 27,000 maximum sold, or 77%. A household limit of one was still in place at the time of this writing.
