Five 2010 uncirculated ATB 5-ounce coins were released this year. Each was priced at $279.95, with mintages at 27,000. All but the last coin released on July 28 have sold out. There are still 6,906 uncirculated Mount Hood ATB coins available from the Mint.

The numismatic coins are .999 fine silver, the same as the bullion version of the coin. They have the “P” mintmark and a finish applied through a vapor blasting technique. It is the same finish used on the Mint’s 3-inch bronze medals. It is applied after the coin is struck, not to the die.

The collector coins may be ordered online at www.usmint.gov, or by calling 1-800-USA-MINT.
