And what would be the difference?
A ( W ) and not a ( P )
If they do that, these become bullion. The only reason anyone cares is because they are P not W.
And that is not what "reverse of 2007" means. It was a different die. The 2025 reverse die is the same as the 2026 even if you use a different mint mark.
Your correct my friend...... However one has a duel date and the other does not !
Not on the reverse. And so you're original comment still makes no sense to me.

Serif and sans serif~those were the days! There was a 10 day window then when the Mint was handing out $500 bills.
Not between 2025 and 2026. I know what the 2007/2008 difference was. He said he wanted the 2026 to have the reverse of 2025, but that's the identical reverse.

Do both coins have a Duel date on the obverse ?
What does that have to do with the REVERSE? Maybe just own your mistake and move on. You said you wanted the 2026 to have the reverse of 2025. The good news is that they DO!

My 5 subscriptions for the 2026 Congrats set has shipped. That was quick.
5 subs on one account?
Yes. I had more on subscription but lowered it to 5 prior to them lowering them to 3.
That proves they are broken. Lol
Nothing broke. The mint has always honored what someone has ordered. Many times I have had subscriptions prior to them lowering limits and not once had the mint removed my orders.
Anyone who says limits were lowered in the past are surmising that but in reality has never happened.
Not true happened with the 3 roll AWQ.
I wonder what happened to cause that?
They lowered the HHL and that affected the subscriptions to lower those HHL amounts also.
Oh yes when they lower the HHL that does include subscriptions. If they lower it from 3 to 1 you can only order 1 at that time. Those who ordered 3 prior still get 3
In the case of the AWQ 3 roll sets, I had 5 subscriptions from before the first one was released. I received 5 sets of the girst issue, because of popularity the USM cut the HHL to 3 for the second release, and then to one by the third release. They have done this in the past. I'm very surprised it didn't happen with the Congratulations Set, but this was a strange release.

If you're keeping it and want it graded, go ahead. If you get a 70, there may be a premium. If you get a 69, you've lost $40 and need to crack it out. But if you want it in a slab, get it put in a slab.

My brother in laws confirmation email said it was a westpoint minted coin. Anyone else have that error? When he clicks the link it takes him to the correct coin.

Yes, everyone seems to have that same issue. We believe the email is misspoken and the order history is correct.
I'm not sure if anyone has offered Congratulations for those who got the Congratulations Coin today.
CollectPure has a best offer of $305 for a Qty of up to about 500.
Ebay's lowest BIN listing is $325 shipped.
As for the -W, you don't get any congratulations but Ebay's lowest BIN listing is $272.50 I believe.

I guess the only thing left to say to everybody wanting one and getting one today...Congratulations!
I really do not like this waiting room thing the mint does. Yesterday it hung me up for an hour and I never did see a glimpse of the add to button. This morning, about 1 minute before potential drop time, I get stuck in the wait room. The wait room lets me out 30 seconds after drop time. I never had a chance to see if anything flashed available. I haven't played this morning game for a few years but this takes the fun right out of it.
so what is the USM going to do with the W Enhanced issue in April now? limit existing subscriptions to 1? if 500,000 proofs sold out in 20 minutes and 60,000 Ps in 15 can't imagine the 125,000 enhanced Ws lasting more than 30 minutes in April.
if you want one sign up for the 1 subscription now and dont complain in April when you get kicked out of the waiting room.

That's because most people don't know how it works. The alternative is that only bots and really lucky people get hot coins. With the waiting room everyone has a chance.

There is an eBay listing claiming to have 2 on-hand. It sure looks like a westpoint mint mark.

Ouch. So, same coin different packaging as the regular W proof. That's pretty much bait n switch.
The mint posted that they did not make the full production of both silver eagle coins (as many here already know), and will make the full amounts now, so anyone who missed out gets a second chance. There were many unhappy campers who posted after the mint said it on facebook:
When the mint sales report comes out next week it should show how many were sold, so we will know how many they can produce by subtracting the mintage limits.

Understood. The 27 minute wait was after the coin went live. Beforehand I had a 13 minute wait before I was allowed to log in which was around 12:02.

I didn't see anything appear today.
I was checking at 730 and didn't see anything available. If that makes you feel any better.
It opened for about 2 or 3 seconds for me. Not much time to do anything before it went dark.
Well, actually, sub for 2027 was available lol
I actually got a 1 minute waiting room at 7:30 am and nothing available on the AE dual date either.
But enough time to add to cart. Did you get locked in wait room jail for a couple minutes?
I just purchased 3 of the 2026 proof ASE's

I never got a waiting room, but had human verification at 728 when I first went to the page
I had that verification as well, just prior to then having a 1 minute wait to get in.
Yes! I learned something new today. Thanks
I had an add to cart button and not available simultaneously at 7:30.
That's the new mint Schrodinger's coin.

HHL1 has been removed. Now try and get all you can... while shut out in a waiting room...
I know i can beat the bots....i have been practicing (keep mentally repeating to make it a reality).
The red light is on in subscriptions.... however the HHL is ONE
the 2025 & 2024 W sets are still available, w/55K production limits, I guess they were not as popular
