    $135.00 dollars per set might have something to do with it.

    Why didn’t they put the privy in the set?
    If I was buying these I would buy a privy and pop it in the set My 2 pennies 🤨

    Only guarantee you may get orders is if you got them on first day HHL was removed. The mint has to have oversold these by about 2k at this point.

    What makes you think they are oversold by 2k. The sales report doesn't reflect that.

    Rough guess based on my own orders, number of orders around when I ordered, and other speculative conjecture.

    Also, I got 10 today so that doesn’t make any sense.

    I makes sense if people are canceling their orders.

    I liked the privy better and did not like that they used the old JR on the medal - just not attractive whereas I would have liked an "active" depiction of him, as great an athlete as he was.

    Love that Milled British (1830-1960)
    Well, just Love coins, period.

    And much discussion about JR ‘s player number being left out. That,and not putting the privy in there just an example of “who the heck thinks or doesn’t this stuff up “

    Congratulations. You just pop that dollar coin right on out and put your privy right on in. 👍🏼
    The privys come in a nice clamshell case so you’re upgrading your 2- coin and providing an upgrade for the dollar coin. 😉

    Yes, I'm sort of surprised they are still available, too. I understand the privy becoming unavailable, but there are 5K less of the medals. Because the other coins in the series show players in action, I think they were looking for an older Jackie Robinson to honor him. I like the medal and ordered this set (as well as the privy dollar and proof half). I like these coins and the tribute to the Negro league.

    The point of a program is the sell coins. That privy mark dollar sold really well. Twice what the unc law enforcement dollar did during its entire year,

    That said, collector fatigue is real. I really hope this doesn’t lead to privy marked coins with every commem series.

    Sales of the Negro Leagues coins Overall have been Dismal.

    The Only commemorative coin program recently to have Overall sales Worse than the Negro Leagues was the National Law Enforcement coins.

    That’s a low bar to overcome.

    Week#2 sales for the Negro Leagues coins are tracking Worse than week #2 for the National Law Enforcement coins.

    The Mint has nothing on launch schedule for a solid month after the launch of the Negro Leagues coins so there is no Mint competition and yet sales are Overall Dismal…

    Or second week. I had to look up on the mint website and those figures are to date.
    I am guessing that these are early figures but it was beyond my capabilities to find those numbers.
    Perhaps a title would help for a simple person like me. 🙀😳

    It really doesn’t matter which week, sales of the 2013 Girl Scout Silver coins will outsell the 2022 Negro Leagues Silver coins.

    Final sales of the 2013 Girl Scout Silver coins will Outsell final sales of the 2022 Negro Leagues Silver coins.

    Interesting that the 2- coin set is still available. HHL none, I don’t remember if it was 1 and then removed after 24 hours. These are really headed the way of last year’s Mayflower 2- coin 🤨 ( and I recall they did better).

    It’s pretty much in line with most Commemorative programs these days. They seem to get less and less popular, giving us mintages that are far lower than even the original classic commemorative programs. Only time will tell if these will be worth anything in the long run.

    I was also using Launch week to Launch week and the colorized coins came Months later than Launch Week.

    The Basketball Hall of Fame colorized coins were one offs and were Not done on Launch Week.
    I also did Not include the Basketball Hall of Fame Kids set because Again it was not a fair comparison to include because it too was a one off...

    The United States Mint Lost approximately $700,000 in FY2021 on the two commemorative coins, National Law Enforcement and Christa McAuliffe.

    The United States Mint is holding $1,375,000 (in FY2021) in surcharges for the National Law Enforcement and Christa McAuliffe coins.

    The question is "Did the United States Mint sell enough coins in the last 3 months of CY2021 for one of the two coins to be profitable or will the United States Mint pocket the entire $1,375,000"?

    The Negro Leagues three piece set intrigues me, but the price is almost $800. I spend that kind of money on some more interesting things. In addition, if the price of gold drops a great deal, the value of the set will go along with it.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.

    If the Mint would actually have coins to ship when they sell them, the situation would be a lot different.

    I will buy one of each of these including the expensive (per ounce) gold for my commemorative set eventually, but I decided not to order any from the Mint because a 3-month wait should not be encouraged as the appropriate way to sell things. That applies to almost everything.

    I would Not be holding my breath hoping for things to change...

    Exact quote for Acting Mint Director Gibson:

    "As part of our efforts to improve customer satisfaction and reduce program costs, the Mint launched a new pre-order system and began accepting pre-orders for both of the 2021 commemorative coin programs recognizing Christa McAuliffe and the National Law Enforcement Memorial & Museum. The new system extended and equalized the selling periods for both programs. This allowed the Mint to reduce product backorders while also improving our customers’ ordering experience."

    If it reduces the mass of flippers and bots that buy up everything in minutes, I'm in favor of it.

    Even if the loss of flippers ends commems?

    The only way to make money flipping commems is to send bulk with min 70.

    Ordering them from the mint to quickly resell online isn’t viable. The mintage limits and the upfront minted have been high enough to prevent that.

    Serious question. What is the allure of the privy mark in this case? It’s not like there are very few for the coin it most likely will be the highest mintage of any of the offerings. What am I missing here?
