With each passing price increase for these, purchased months ago(including WW), the more appealing they are to me now.

However, what about the next Comic offering ? - Supergirl - Not as appealing at $400 per 2.5 oz Medal & $4030 per 1/2 oz Coin... for now..... Things are getting out of hand, sadly.

Yes, I like them but not at current prices. Oh well, I can be patient. I do think the Mint did a nice job with these.

Yes, for the sake of your sanity and eyesight, dump them in a Coinstar.

Wonderful report as always, Charmy.

Such a welcome treat.

The mint made 34 million half dollars for circulation last year. Not sure what the collector population is, but..,.

BTW I agree that minting half dollars does seem a waste.

Awesome job everyone!!!

My cc charged $525 yesterday 2/22. Maybe I'll be getting 3.

Charged? or Pending Charge? I don't think they are charged until the order flips from processing to shipped.

Most of the rest of the sets are gone now.

Ok. Most of everything ever struck will eventually be gone, too. Nothing lasts forever.

This is quite true but very highly misleading. It is especially misleading when it comes to coins and proof sets. Significant percentages of mintages can survive for some coins and especially gold and silver. Even ancient coins can survive in "large" percentages but something like an aluminum 1950-E East German 10p is whittled down to the tens of thousands from the tens of millions and most of these are in highly degraded condition unlike most gold minted in the last five centuries.

Despite not being very old more than half of something like 1969 proof sets are gone and many of the survivors are tarnished or hazed.

Attrition on most moderns is far higher than even the attrition on the much older Morgan dollars. How many 1983 pennies are left? 1966?

I do not understand why we need clickbait titles.

I'll change my title. It is better? And it bad for our hobby just like counterfeit coins. New collectors buy this thinking it worth something, find out its junk and quit the hobby.

Still lacks specifics. But, no worries, the forum loves to use clickbait titles.

They are quite clear as to what it is. It is, to me, no different to ask the other modifications.

I assume you also think Dan Carr is bad for the hobby?
