    Absolutely not. Subscriptions reduce the number

    Sorry, but I don’t understand your answer.
    Last week the posted ATS was 9,900 for the public. Was increased to 39,900 yesterday.

    Also, today the “Authorized Bulk Program” page for this coin popped.
    Price for them is 183.75 (the 5% markup). As of now that ATS is zero.

    Could twenty thousand be reserved for “bulkers”? We will see.

    If there are 20,000 subscribers, there would only be 40,000 ATS.aa 20,000 are already "sold".

    Also, they never reserve 30% for the bulk program

    Still foggy, but thanks for trying.

    If there are just 20,000 subscribers for a coin with a 60,000 mintage, why are subscriptions unavailable?

    Because they generally don't subscribe the whole mintage. There may not even be 20,000. The ABPP buyers and subscribers may have both been deducted already. The combined amount may be 20k

    2025 Silver Proof Sets available

  • jskillz95jskillz95 Posts: 124 ✭✭✭

    Thanks for the notice, Bull.

    I was able to procure one today after trying for several mornings. They are still available as I type. Anybody know how many were available this morning?

    if there is no mintage limit set, does that mean the US mint is still producing these or when did these stop getting produced?

    Entered my subscription of 3 before the massive silver price increase, Still shows three today. Will Mint change to 1 when they ship? Since silver is now down substantially from its high, will Mint lower price of silver products. Personally I doubt it unless purchases drop substantially

    No. They are not going to lower prices, and sales will drop substantially.

    They don't care. These are the premiums they want.

    And yes, you will not receive 3 of anything on a subscription while the HHL is 1. You'll be able to buy more 24 hours after they go on sale, when the HHL is lifted. Just like everyone else.

    I thought so, but given the other guy said he had a sub of 3, thought they might have increased the limit.

    If you have a standing subscription, they don't change the number if subscriptions but they will only ship him one.

    For me it was just by chance. Click the subscription tab for the congrats set, and it either has "remind me" or "add to bag". Keep refreshing, maybe it'll pop?

    I've checked many times w no luck.

    Interested if the people I quoted were just constantly checking or got a notice was open. Just constantly checking seems like it would be so unlikely to find them within the apparent few minutes.They are open periodically.

    I believe the window has gotten smaller now.

    When @Mr Lindy mentioned the red button was lit on Monday there appeared to be a long window to subscribe.

    That's when I got mine.

    Now it's hit or miss.

    Good luck to you if you are looking for one.

    No one is getting a notice. If they were, you would as well. They are either constantly checking, stumbling on it by chance, or are using bots.

    Things like this are generally available for subscription for weeks, if not months, before they go "Remind Me." These certainly were, as the HHL was reduced from 3 to 1. People who only want what they can't have generally get what they deserve.

    And these were clear winners from the minute they were announced, even though it took people some time to get the memo. It's kind of crazy that it took all this time, and a $70 price increase, for people to start chasing them.

    If you miss them, don't feel too bad. They are not going to be the home run at $175 that they would have been at $105.

    Yes, it's a 60K mintage when 100K seems to be the current sweet spot for proof ASEs. But numismatic premiums don't track rising precious metal prices.

    So, while these would have been an easy double, and a possible triple, at $105, the flip at $175 is less certain. Maybe $250. Maybe not. Probably not $350.

    As silver prices continue to rise, and Mint premiums along with them, it's more likely than not that the collector base for all proof ASEs shrinks. So it's not worth losing a ton of sleep over not being able to buy a few at $175.

  • RaufusRaufus Posts: 7,090 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Indeed, I should have done so earlier but I had a lot going on and it skipped my mind. I'll check as I can.

    Don't fret if you don't snag a subscription for one of these.

    Just come back on drop-day, get into the waiting room before noon, and order one quickly.

    My guess is that 30-40k will be available to non-subscribers, but not for long.

  • RaufusRaufus Posts: 7,090 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Thanks. That's the plan. However, I never know if I'll be available at the time.

    If there were, that would kinda destroy the value of these, wouldn't they?

    The Mintage Limit is listed at 60K, which is what is creating all the demand for the Set. There will be a lot of screaming if that Limit is later revised in support of "other proof phila eagles minted this year."

    Given all the other things the Mint has planned for this year, I very, highly, extremely doubt you will see "other proof phila eagles minted this year."

    No. What was "shipped" is your subscription. Not the coin.

    You'll also notice you were billed $0.00 for your shipment. Go into your Order History and see for yourself.

  • @Goldbully said:

    Your "subscription" shipped. i.e., you are successfully signed up for the subscription action. The coin, the subject of the subscription, is a different product from the subscription itself.

  • GoldbullyGoldbully Posts: 18,427 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Didn't realize a subscription could be shipped. 😊

  • johntjohnt Posts: 100 ✭✭✭

    It's just the way that the mint has decided was best for informing you of a new subscription. It doesn't make sense to me either.

    The 2025 ASEs were $91-95 when spot silver was $30. I would not expect a discount with the recent drop in silver, indeed, they increased all their older inventory to much higher prices that remain unchanged.

    I don't mind the silver or gold coins so much, but the clad went from $33-35 up to around 130. That seems excessive considering the only metal going up is copper and that is around $6 a POUND. $65 or 70 would have been far more reasonable, although still expensive for clad proof and mint sets. Nonetheless, many will buy a lot of them.

    No red button availability, but I am curious:

    Is this ATS data for the subscription 2026 Philly issue, max mintage 60k ?

    I got to learn how to decipher ATS myself.

    Seems weird that the "big boys" are ordering items that are limited to 1 for everyone else.

    Most items have ABPP access. They actually pay a premium and have to pick them up at the Mint. Been like that for years. Normal bulk buyers do not have access until the HHL is lifted.

    Nope. Ebay doesn't sell anything. There are sellers on Ebay who have listings for the set, but they are all Pre-sales. Since the coins have not been released yet, it would be impossible to have any available.
