Placed but not yet confirmed.

Please try again later, subscription services are having unforeseen issues.
Probably should clarify....the subscriptions are (or were?) available for order.
I see availability of subscriptions. But when I go to my account and subscriptions to bump one up, Mint shows I have no subscriptions associated with my account. There is a bug at the moment.
system crashed, let me go try that again
Keep trying. I just finally was able to secure a sub for (1) which is all I want. However, it took me three attempts. I finally went out and came back in fresh and it worked for me. Hope you get what you're after. Best of luck to you!
Thanks for the heads up! I finally got the one I've be trying to secure since I missed the initial offer. I had quit checking, so your post was much appreciated.
Subscription page is back up and running again. I see I have four of these already coming. The $124.50/each is just such a tough one to swallow. I don't think I need any more of the 16,759 available subscriptions.
_ received an email from the min, subscriptions available. Went through the 1st time, no issues at all._
Available ats count on these subscriptions is finally moving. They moved about 1,000 in five minutes. "ats": 15840
Are these First Strike Eligible?
It worked 💪
They haven't even been released yet

Sure, First Strike, right after the 973,700,000 coins they have already struck.
I would expect that PCGS will have a label available though.
One thing about the absurdly high price... There is some quantity still available. "ats": 11172
That's only because I don't have a CC with a high enough credit limit.

For first strike on these. You send in a couple sealed mint sets, forty coins in packaging. At $18/coin, that's an extra $720 in grading fees for some extra ink on a label. Does that sound about right?
Sounds like a great deal... for our hosts.
You can probably send in the cents without the set.

Oh,.. my mistake, I thought this thread was about the 2026 Congrats coin!!
Just noticed the mintage has been increased to 300,000. When did that happen?
Happened this afternoon at some point, along with a stated HHL of 10 (it didn't say that last night, but seemed to be implied with all the subs being lowered)
Hmmm. So what's the expectation on value now? 🤔
300K !
SHADY !!!
Was 190k two days ago !
No way I am keeping 30 subs now, will pull plug ten days before June 30th
Maybe I get 3 now & keep best two, unless all 3 are spectacular.
****> Maybe I get 3 now & keep best two, unless all 3 are spectacular.
SHADY IS RIGHT !
Oh I missed this, are you criticizing my shopping ?
Has the Mint ever lifted mintage up after months of advertising lower max ?
I just looked at my other subs and mintages remain same ATM...
If they continue this business model, I'll thin the various subs herd.
don't hold your breath. keep in mind that only a little over 100 2024 cents graded ms68rd. and only a handful of D that year
they get special treatment, but are not handled like a proof is handled
No criticizing. I just dropped my subscriptions too
8,974 - i'm cancelling mine. not hot at 190,000 and not hot a 300k. good for the patriots wanting a set.
Yes, every time they release a coin in different packaging it becomes eligible for First Strike again. For example the quarters. They've already released Mayflower and Revolutionary Quarters to banks and on the mint website in rolls. When the unc sets come out you get another 30 days and in the past you don't even have to submit it in mint packaging if you're within the first 30 days because PCGS workers just look at the list and the deadline date.
300,000 and a HHL of 10. I am sure that I looked at it this morning while the subscription system was off line and I seem to recall the original mintage and no HHL was still in play. Those sneaky buggers.
@ProofCollection , Thanks, what if the coin is sold out the first time, 60 days pass and they release more of them. Is the second batch FS eligiable?
At least they upped the mintage before the release and not after.
I have always said that with the annual mint set they should produce to demand and have a fair "reasonable" price. So as much as I would like to have a cent rarity, I would actually prefer unlimited mintage and $20-$30 price point. Not a flipper's want, but a modern set collectors need.
No, probably not. The First Strike deadline list already has an entry for those. It has to be new packaging and then they can add a new first strike deadline to the table.
It was 190k when they dropped my 26 subs to ten and it remained 190k while I added one and added one and... till I got to 30 subs, which was my ultimate goal at 190k.
Now at 300k moving target ???
I will wait to see if there's bad press & a return to the ADVERTISED plan. This rule change makes me question the way new hire Hollis will run the USMINT. More to come ? When the unpredictable becomes predictable then I'll reconsider my subs. I do not collect normal coins, I was just caught up in the BUZZ.
definitely cancel
Lower

The mintage was never advertised. There was never any mintage limit on the actual 2026 sets. The 190,000 had been on the subscriptions going back to the end of last year.

I'll wait to react.
I had cut back on fun purchases last 3 months while planning to digest all these addictive subscriptions. I went a fair bit overboard, but now, I will wait & see & adjust downward in the final 7 day countdown window.
As I do not collect normal coins I am fine if they upend all the 250th mintages. I'll save 10k just by getting two or one instead of much more. I will live to shop another day, elsewhere. I cannot delete things as I spent a lot of time wanting examples, just not stacks as playing field is in now motion it seems. I will not be denied by their new & improved biz shenanigans. It has been fun to witness this firsthand. Wonder if we will be seeing rolls & bags of 1776~2026 Cents hit the menu too ? That would be fun ? And maybe not totally unexpected
Happy Shopping !
there is a point a few days before the on sale date where you can't cancel a subscription. be careful
I have multiple rolls of nickels & dimes.... Multiple bags of the 2 quarters ( so far ) and 2 bags of half dollars in the works , also a bag each of the $1 coins. I have a difficult time seeing the penny @ 300k for a price that started out as 33.50. I would still be in if not for the increase from 190K to 300K.
Instead I will save $2739.00
Mint automatically dropped my subscriptions to 10 again. Probably just going to leave it there and not try to increase again. 190K to 300K is a big jump, but I still think the sets will be hot.

Honestly, not so "hot." As you said, 190K to 300K is a big jump. Almost 60%. The price also had a big jump, from $33.25 to $124.50. 274%. Very difficult to see a flipping market developing. Actually, kind of hard to even see a sellout at this price with this mintage.
Looks like Hollis wants to keep all the juice for himself. 2025 sets, with a mintage of 190K, are currently going for around $140. Good luck with 300K of these at an issue price of $124.50.
Disagree - for future reference.

There were around 650,000,000 cents struck at each mint last year, so I'm not sure that's a fair comparison.
The "mintage" was not 190K last year. That was the number of mint sets.
For 2026, the mint set product limit is the mintage.
Not sure really, but we really don't know the true demand for USA 250 products. All so far have had artificially low limits that have had quick sellouts. Even at inflated prices. Was 190K too much? Is 300K too much? We'll see. Maybe not a 5 minute sellout with the 10 household limit. But once the household limit goes away??? I think the 2026 P&D cents only being available here is still a big deal.

Why? Because the cents won't be made for circulation? So what? Lots of other base metal coins have been made over the years that also didn't circulate, at prices far below $50 each, that did nothing in the secondary market. Now that Lincoln cents don't circulate, they are really nothing more than 1/100 Sacagawea dollars.
Based on last year, I think these were interesting at 190K, even though I always thought they were pigs with the pricing. I stand by my thought that they should make these to demand, and price them modestly. Instead, they think they are making 300K modern base metal rarities, and pricing them accordingly.
Good luck thinking you are going to make a killing feeding an insatiable secondary market for dual dated Lincoln cents. I think you'll be returning them when they don't sell out. Depending on how many you buy and return, you just might lose future return privileges. Although, if they stick to their published HHL of 10 and reduce you as a result, they might end up doing you a huge favor. For future reference. 😀
True. But the quality in the Mint sets is far superior. People were interested because they were the "last" year of issue.
Now they are not. They will be made every year for the sets, but otherwise will not circulate. Does that make them more or less interesting?
Less interesting to me. Huge increase in Mint sets. Huge increase in price. People don't seem to be gobbling up subscriptions right now. Maybe I'm wrong. TBD.
Funny that you complained that I said mintage instead of prodding but now you said the same.
The 190,000 on the subscription page was obviously left over from last year, by the way. Much as the 2027 Congratulations set is probably not 60,000. It's rather important to note this distinction as the subscription page is clearly not the official product limit.

The subscriptions are selling very well. ATS last night was 28,496. Tonight the ATS is 16523, I'd say 12,000 in sales in less than 24 hours is quite strong for the set.
