Did the Mint ever release the final 25,000 medals?

As much as @NJCoin want's it to be true, the Mint is not obligated to strike the Maximum Mintage Limit of 75,000 pcs.
50,000 Medals is what they've authorized, and 50,000 is what we get.

TBD. Not sure what you mean by "authorized," but right now, today, they have a "Mintage Limit" of 75,000, and a "Product Limit" of 50,000.

That tells me that they are "authorized" to make an additional 25,000 at any time, to be included in any product other than a stand alone medal. I doubt they will do so, but I also wouldn't have thought they would go back and retroactively announce a "Product Limit" lower than the "Mintage Limit" after a Day Two sell out, so anything is possible.

Of course, they are never "obligated" to strike anything. But, given that they routinely strike lots of things they find themselves unable to sell, it begs the question why they would establish a maximum of 75,000, sell 50,000 in 24 hours, and then have no interest in making and selling the balance.

In hindsight, the answer was to give Advance Purchasers guaranteed access to more medals with privy marks than would have been the case had they mixed the privys among 75,000 medals rather than 50,000. Because they could have sold pretty much any amount they wanted to once it became clear they were including 1794 lottery tickets, at no additional charge, randomly distributed among the population.

Once they determined, for whatever reason, to limit initial production to 50,000, they doubted their ability to sell another 25,000 units once it became clear the privys were all gone. And they certainly did not want to mislead people into believing privys were still available when they were not.

This does not, however, mean the 25,000 will never be made. If it did, they could always make that clear by going back and changing the "Mintage Limit" to 50,000. Just like they did with the "Product Limit." After the sell out. Not before. As of March 28, 2025, they have not done so.

My only takeaway from this is that nothing they say or announce can be taken at face value. YMMV.
