They worked along with mint sets for me, sold 3 penny sets for 459 and all the other silver proof by piece and they went like hotcakes. I've got about 25 shipments to get out on Tuesday, the mint shipment is due Monday. The three penny sets will have to wait a few more weeks. But all that effort paid for several of each set for me plus covered costs toward some future buy. Besides I'm retired so it keeps me from doing honey-dos.

I’m only laughing at the honey-do part. Congrats on all the rest. Glad to hear you made out well and covered the costs of keeping some sets for yourself.
$ign for due on the 6 grossly overpriced 250th silver treasures in 17 hours and 01 minutes max OR UPS WILL PAY to Man, the Gov't for their failure to deliver as promised.
Cool.
May regret just getting 6 net 5 as I gave one away.
More people here I think absolutely hate these appalling 250h products and prices unless they get a hand signed Hollis #41 trading card for free it seems. But for me I spend my money how I desire. And I do not collect boring normal coins usually but I have a bit of the nostalgia from 200th two year treasures. All my loved ones were drawing breath in 1975. So with all the hoopla I took my baseless paper funded plastic promises money & acquired precious metal numismatics & then I will toss it all in a hole, the same hole as I have done last half century plus. Win on most & lose on some if it all was not unrealized paper. Time will tell.
One day I will release the hounds ! Well...
... Maybe, people who know me do ping me from time to time.
I am over the moon I have 6 sets enroute. I may wish I had stuck to ten, but this year is such a target rich environment and unlike our Gov't I cannot just print worthless paper to buy what even the ... I want.
My sets shipped today. Looking forward to the cent, dime and half. Already sold most of the quarters. Might keep a sacagawea and nickel. Otherwise, the extras will be gone.
Bad PENNY TAUNTED YOU but 1.47 OUNCES of additional & fractional .999 Silver is something you'll have to live & suffer with.
Makes no sense but I think these overproduced sets will become illogically hot. I am keeping mine as they arrive by Noon tomorrow. I always hope for REAL errors as normal coins bore me. I have been lucky with oddities over time.
Maybe Mint will decide to further inflate up the inflated Mintage to further profit on the hoopla and further reduce their trust. RULES ? The rules now are there are no rules. SHIP BY CHRISTMAS 2026. NOT playing that game as I dropped an EXTRA $20 fee. Getting next day in hand for $20 is only way I play this 2026 game. Mint collector coin production used to be predictable. Now the unpredictable is the predictable. All good as nothing really matters, I am just playing the game too., but it costs an addition $20 to have items inhand in 14.5 hours and not but Christmas 2026. Thats worth a $20 tip to the house ?

So thought of adding a blank page to my 1932 to 1998 Washington Quarters Dansco that included proofs - just for the Semiquincentennial quarters - sort of as crowning glory dedication.

This is becoming a problem. The Mintage limit should not be adjustable once posted. The subscriptions were confusing but did not amount to a specific product posting. This is changing the limits after release which is simply unacceptable.

Mintage limits mean nothing now. Can't trust a thing you read as far as numbers go. The Mint is trying its damnedest to catch all the secondary action for themselves is my guess. Raise prices and then take orders until people get tired of it. In some ways, I guess that's good, as everyone gets what they want....albeit at higher prices and not when they'd like to have their coins in hand.

Yup. But they have been playing games for a few years now. This is the inevitable end result.
I gave up relying on anything they post, say, or have reported via Coin World quite a while ago, so this honestly doesn't shock me at all. People are fine when they set a limit and don't mint to it in spite of demand, but their hair is on fire when they blow through a limit.
Why? Both ways involve a lack of transparency, and a lack of information when making a buying decision.
One way, you buy thinking something will be more rare than it turns out to be. The other, you don't buy, and it turns out to be more rare than you were led to believe. Two sides of the same coin, and people get hurt both ways.
But one has traditionally been "market acceptable" to this board while the other has not. Neither has been fine with me, so I've been tuning them out for a few years now.
I buy what I want, but only loosely pay attention to the mintages they publish, and I don't actually count on anything being correct. I suggest everyone else do the same.

I do not mind the Mint trying to get all the secondary action. I've said for years that they should just auction everything. HOWEVER, that is very different than changing the "rarity" after people have already purchased.

My 2 sets shipped before my BoM Mercury.
At these prices, I'm contemplating stopping my sub for this, or reducing to just 1. I liked getting a silver example of new coins every year, but it may be time to "let it go". The quarter series no longer interest me going forward. Seems like a good stopping point.
I also will be getting my 9th Palladium this year, 3 sets of the 3 finishes. It may be time to let this go too, to afford the gold coins (AGE, Buffalo) I get every year. Too bad, I like the design.
I aint destitute, but I aint Richie Rich either.
I wonder if anyone who reduced their subscription orders like I did because of the erroneous mintage number would not have done so in light of this last second revision.

Wasn't the mintage number significantly reduced after it went unavailable? Or maybe I misread that.

Maybe the mint thinks this will make us feel more kindly toward them after they were unable to get very many Semi Quincentennial coins in circulation before July 4. At $245 per set, I don't know how thankful collectors will be. Depending on how you value the cent, nickel and dollar, you are still paying more than 100 times the face value for the silver coins.
I thought about ordering a second set in case they sent me substandard coins, but decided against it. I've had my share of less than nice coins sent to me from the mint over the years. And no, I'm not talking about getting sets of PR-70 DCAM coins. PR-69 and 68 will please me.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
Within a month there will probably be 5,000+ for sale on eBay. I see them selling for $200 within a couple months. Just way too many made for the true demand.
5 of 6 sets are keepers. Paid too much, but I had the nostalgia & I satisfied that itch.
One set case is incredibly scuffed up. Its distracting, at first I thought it was all the coins. Likely return for refund not replacement seeing now mintage max got bumped up another 10%, an unwelcome moving target.
This was going to be my gift set, but I will gift an Unc Set instead. Coins seem to be solid 69 to 70 all deep cameo as I would expect using laser etched dies.
The Saq $ are not dual dated, just 2026 S. I will have to look again but I think Mint used segment collar on the Dollars as date seems to land at K6 on each.

i would wait on the unc set. you may get another fairly good shot with the new upped mintages
Earlier this year, people complained about not enough SemiQ products for everyone to get them (Mayflower quarters)... Mint makes a shit ton of sets so many people can them... people complain about too many being made... Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I thought about ordering a second set in case they sent me substandard coins, but decided against it. I've had my share of less than nice coins sent to me from the mint over the years. And no, I'm not talking about getting sets of PR-70 DCAM coins. PR-69 and 68 will please me.
Within a month there will probably be 5,000+ for sale on eBay. I see them selling for $200 within a couple months. Just way too many made for the true demand.
Hollis should run for Governor of Minnesota, this has the lying and corrupt angles down, and my illustrious Governor isn't running.
5 of 6 sets are keepers. Paid too much, but I had the nostalgia & I satisfied that itch.
One set case is incredibly scuffed up. Its distracting, at first I thought it was all the coins. Likely return for refund not replacement seeing now mintage max got bumped up another 10%, an unwelcome moving target.
This was going to be my gift set, but I will gift an Unc Set instead. Coins seem to be solid 69 to 70 all deep cameo as I would expect using laser etched dies.
The Saq $ are not dual dated, just 2026 S. I will have to look again but I think Mint used segment collar on the Dollars as date seems to land at K6 on each.
i would wait on the unc set. you may get another fairly good shot with the new upped mintages
Earlier this year, people complained about not enough SemiQ products for everyone to get them (Mayflower quarters)... Mint makes a shit ton of sets so many people can them... people complain about too many being made... Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
