    It appears that they are updating their catalogue now. Refreshed and the proof sets are still available

    I hope so...but I wouldn't bet on it.

    Nope. The Maya and Sally 3-coin are done. No more. Maybe one here or there but I believe they are done. Moving on to the Mankiller series. 😉🙀🦫

    with a product limit of NONE. I'm surprised it took the Mint this long to mint an additional batch. Over 2200 still available. I suspect, that this may not be the end of additional sets being minted.

    Their getting ready for next week. Gunna be interesting when 27 gazillion folks try for the 30,000 congratulations set.
    Perhaps they will try and push out remaining product but they also ( if they are to be believed) need to comfirm more enrollments than ever. 😉🙀🦫

    Honest question: Is the Eagle in the Congratulations set somehow unique?

    I really don't follow all the twists and turns in some of these issues anymore.

    Well maybe. They are limited to 50,000 or less ( 30,000this year) and change the ase MM now and again. 2018 S for example.
    They are collected separately and the difference is you can’t buy a plain Jane Blue Box W proof for the cost of the congratulations coin on the secondary market. That’s when I discovered the story of Congratulations collectors. 😉🙀🦫
    These replaced the annual dollar sets.

    I got some quarter sets today…. It would be nice if the us mint would package these appropriately. It would also be nice if the post office don’t try to have me sign for this while actively spinning the box around so I didn’t see the gaping hole (let alone try to deliver it damaged without comment).

    I haven’t counted to see if they were all there but several boxes of P/D quarter rolls were destroyed.

    Because they used a little cardboard box instead of an armored car to package the rolls in?? o:)

    The Congratulations Sets are desirable to those who collect them / collect labels. Otherwise same W or S mint proof eagle. The congrats sets received little interest in the early years (selling only 16 - 18,000) The real interest came in 2017 when the mint surprised with an S mint proof eagle. It was only available in the Congratulations set (50,000) and Limited edition silver proof set (75,000) making it one of the lower mintage eagles. That started the interest in the Congratulations Set (and made the early ones, (limited in availability), desirable for those who wanted sets. Other than label collectors, I personally don't understand the interest since then, same coin, more expensive, and I'd rather have the little blue box (even the new cheap ones) than the card.

    I’m just going to suck it up and put some “free” quarters in everything I sell until they are gone. Win some, lose some.

    I’ll let my postmaster know because we have a good relationship and she wants to know these things. Nothing anyone can do now so best not to worry too much. All the other sets are accounted for. 5 sets damaged pretty bad.

    I saw it flip but despite having already carted one, I couldn’t click the terms and buy buttons fast enough apparently. Not wholly convinced any were actually available.

    Silver Quarter proof set still available and now on backorder. I guess there will be plenty of these for anyone who wants one.

    You are a little late to the party. A lot can happen in a day or two or three.
    Has been on add to bag for several days now which gave anyone who wanted one plenty of time to order and went to backorder this morning. It did not go to Remind Me until late this afternoon. Best to know what you are talking about before posting.

    P.S. These will be available for sale again so pay attention :D

    Perhaps i should have rephrased my post by saying ...NO LONGER ON BACK ORDER but moved to : REMIND ME. Only time will tell if this item, once again, is sold out.

    Got an email from the mint this morning. "2022 American Women Quarters sets sold out very quickly thru enrollments so don't wait to enroll for 2023" :D P.S. Maybe they should include one of their Mint Shopping Bags with the first 500,000 orders.

    [[[Got an email from the mint this morning. "2022 American Women Quarters sets sold out very quickly thru enrollments so don't wait to enroll for 2023"]]]

    But don't you NEED TO WAIT until 2023 to enroll for 2023 products??? Am I missing something here?

  • I don't understand-if quarter enrollments are unavailable now-wouldn't they still be unavailable for next year? Unless current enrollees opt out?

  • HATTRICKHATTRICK Posts: 2,167 ✭✭✭✭✭

    answer to both above. See what happens when the minimum of information is provided by the mint.

    1. It only says "sets" which means proof sets and silver proof sets which are open for enrollment starting with the 2023 sets now on the mint website. Bags and rolls are not available yet and will be available whenever they want them to.
    2. They are taking set enrollment now so they will have an idea of how many to produce and they will surely produce a lot.
      The "Keebler Elves" will be running the presses day and night for these sets.
    3. The bags and rolls are a different story, however you can expect many more to be produced next year. That is why the big boys are hoarding them because collectors new to the series will have to go to the secondary market for them if they want all four years.
