The Mint released the coin on June 22 and temporarily suspended sales when Authorized Purchasers (APs) scooped up all the available 35,000 on the same day. APs make bulk purchases of the Mint’s investment-grade coins and then resell them to dealers, financial institutions, and to the public. The sales suspension lasted until July 13 while more strikes were produced.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Mint debuted the numismatic version 2015-P Blue Ridge Parkway Silver Uncirculated Coin on July 7. It is selling for $149.95 and comes encapsulated in a protective plastic holder within a presentation case. As of last Sunday 16,085 have sold. The maximum mintage across both numismatic and bullion options is 65,000 and presently leaves less than 4,000 coins available.

The next bullion release in the America the Beautiful series, which will feature Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Delaware, is expected to go on sale on Wednesday, Sept. 30, the U.S. Mint said in a memo to its Authorized Purchasers.
