I wonder if anyone may (or may not) increase their enrolment on the 2022 ASE "S" Proof (22EM)?
I am NOT an expert on enrollments, or the Mint system for enrollments.
That said, I just tried to increase my ASE Proof-S enrollment, and the system seemed to accept the change.
I was actually surprised that it let me increase my enrolment when I did - as it was after the time period when we were told that enrollments were no longer being taken and closed. But just like you, the system seemed to accept my change.
And sure enough, when it came to billing, I was charged for 100 ASE Proof-W coins.
The 100 coins actually arrived today.
Another interesting side point - when the package was sent to me via UPS, it was listed as 15.9lbs. After it arrived, I re-weighed it and it weighed in at 22lbs! I understand the Mint probably gets a nice shipping discount from UPS but a 6lb difference??

What I find interesting about your new "Free Budget Shipping" due to you placing three orders this year...is that some of those orders (enrollments) already including free shipping as part of the enrolment. Win/Win!
My 3 Congratulations sets are in transit but my order for 5 Proof Eagles was canceled by the Mint today. Not sure I care as I was on the fence about even ordering them but this was first time I ever received a cancellation email from the Mint.

You** can not** add a new enrollment, however if you have an existing enrollment already you can change the quantity prior to the release date subject to the following limitations:
it says 2 days prior , however some said it was locked 3 days prior. to avoid issues you should do sooner.
you are subject to the HHL or the number of coins available if you want to increase your quantity.
Remember 'The Mint is like a box of chocolates" Rules, HHL or product limits are subject to change.
Spin that Mint Wheel and hope you land on a lucky space !!!!
As I understand it, the "household order limit" does not apply to enrollments. It only affects people ordering from the website.
The HHL for 22EA at release was 10. Anyone have an enrollment filled for more than 10 coins?
Edited to add: @Burnie - I see from an earlier post that you had an enrollment for 25 x Proof-W ASEs. If you do not mind sharing, did you get all 25 per your enrollment, or were you limited to 10 per the HHL?
Yes, I got all 25 through my enrollment

For the enrollments it is not called a HHL but there is a limit set by the mint that can be changed at any time. It may or may not reduce the quantity you already have. Remember that box of chocolates thing.
I also noted in the past an increase in the enrollment quantity that appeared to be ok on my account for a period of time was eventually reduced. Again that box of chocolates thing. And that mint wheel just keeps spinning and spinning.

Really. My understanding was that they capped enrollments at 25 pieces. If they changed that I was unaware.
And you actually received 100 ASEs?
I just checked the Proof-S ASE enrollment. Not saying that the Mint would accept it right now, but the system appears to accommodate enrollment requests up to 100 coins.
IIRC - the Mint imposed a 25-coin limit on enrollments for 2021 Proof ASE offerings.

I originally set my enrollment at 25 (back in January) but was able to change it to 100 on April 8th, (about 6 days before the 14th).
Really. My understanding was that they capped enrollments at 25 pieces. If they changed that I was unaware.
And you actually received 100 ASEs?
I don't recall if there was a cap on the enrollments back in January when I originally signed up.
At the time, I selected 25 as I was probably comfortable with that number.
A week before the sale, I was discussing the upcoming sale with someone and they indicated that I could increase my enrollment from 25 to 100. I logged in to try it and changed the 25 to 100 and it seemed to take.
I was still skeptical until a couple days before the sale and my CC got hit with a $7,300 charge & yesterday, 100 coins (22lbs) showed up at my door from UPS.
Again, I don't recall if there was a cap back in Jan - that may be why you and I chose 25 at the time.

Got my 3 coins today in a box more than big enough for 25 coins.
Got another alert. Ordered 10. Had to do as guest (with same email address), as I couldn't get the login to work. I don't order from the Mint much so when I saw no order in the order history, I ordered another 5. I pulled 10 out of the air, half-asleep anyway. Could have just as easily been 20. Called Customer Service and they are both in the system. So I guess I will get 15. Will avoid buying them in the secondary system with markups. Instead will be in the secondary system.
Is the Congratulations Set release worth it? Same product I assume, just with the potential for a vanity line on the PCGS tag when properly submitted. (I deal with real coins usually, but got into building an SAE set for the hell of it.)
W ASE still available at 12:05 PM Est. The mint's plan to help stamp out the flippers is working. Backorders being cancelled by the tens of thousands. Coins being returned by the tens of thousands. Anybody who wants one will be able to get it at mint cost or a dollar or two over. And some may even end up going for below issue price.
" If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. " The 1st Law of Opposition from The Firesign Theater
Some of you are confused. Yes, the US Mint email said "product enrollments" are sold out for the W & S ASEs. HOWEVER, many people (myself included) cancelled our enrollments for 10 coins, after discovering the W mintages were going to be over 500,000! These cancellations are the reason that coins were still available on launch day. It's not that the US Mint was lying to us, I kept my 10 enrollments active for the S mint ASE because I think less of them will be made,
@originalsandman - The reason the Congratulations set labels sell for more, is because many people collect the labels. Only 30,000 of the 2022 ASE Congratulations sets were made compared to over 500,000 of the regular 2022 ASE W coins. They're just harder to find,
@younique said:
Yes, the LE should contain a "W" eagle. So, add 50,000 to the proof "W" by virtue of the set if CoinWorld is correct. No eagle in annual silver proof set. Was just talking uncs.
