Why did the 2021-S Tuskegee quarter bags and rolls go "unavailable" so fast (within 15 minutes)?

Why did the 2021-S Tuskegee quarter bags and rolls go "unavailable" so fast (within 15 minutes), from the US Mint website? The same happened to the 2021 Proof Silver Eagles and Congratulations set. What's going on at the mint? It's been a few weeks and they haven't become available again. There's no way 350,000 proof silver eagles sold out in 15 minutes?

    There was a little more interest and buildup in the Tuskegee quarters, but I can't imagine that would cause a sellout so fast, ever. I don't recall this happening to an S-roll / bag before from this series, though the American Samoa bat quarter was popular, too.

    UPDATED: I just remembered, they went on sale on February 8, and I have a S-roll on order that I placed 3 days later on February 11.

    @1st_Place.... Welcome aboard...That is surprising.. have not seen bags and rolls disappear that quickly, though I do know there has been considerable interest in these coins... way beyond coin collectors. Cheers, RickO

    Maybe, the Mint wants the public to STAY focused, on the "W" programs? The longer the new 2021 Quarters stay away, the more us W/V75 collectors have a better chance to track down a W? :*

    @Hydrant Posts - There were approximately 8,500 of the PDS roll sets available and about 4,300 of the S bags and a low number of S rolls. That's pretty low numbers, so they sold out quickly, The more recent 2022 AWQ Maya Angelou and Sally Ride S quarters were only available in the PDS roll sets, this time and sold out even quicker than the Tuskegee S quarters did. They basically sold out through enrollments, leaving almost none for the day of release sale. That's why single S rolls of those 2022-S quarters are selling for $160.00+ on eBay lately!

    And will continue to hold value, as will the Sally’s and on through the series 😉🙀🦫
    As long as they keep the product limits the same.
    The clad S proofs are going to be limited also

    Can't believe this thread is over a year old already. When the Tuskegee quarter first came out. The "S" minted ones do have a real low mintage! That's probably the reason for the quick sell out? My LCS had bought bags of the S,D and P's. I right away, only purchased 10 of each. Why, I didn't buy a bag, is beyond me? Lol.
    Anyway, from the S's. I snagged a couple of beauties! One was the big prize. It was in marvelous condition and the kicker. It had an awesome "Strike Through". I sent it in to PCGS. It came back a ms 67, with the "Strike Through" designation.

    Yes, That ms 67 is a very good grade. Pretty high, but not the highest, I believe?
    Maybe?




    Thanks ;)

    That's a beautiful coin with the strike through error designation. So you paid the extra $65.00 fee for the error designation?

  • Jzyskowski1Jzyskowski1 Posts: 6,650 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Resale value. That’s why they are pricey. Look at the 3- roll set and the one S bag😂 available. Sorry S- bag😂😂😂
