How can something be scheduled for sale this close to the release date and NOT have an approved image?
The Mint has gotten into a bad habit of waiting until the last minute before posting product details.
Might see something tomorrow or the next, two weeks before release. Might even be after the Harper Ferry quarter release.
The odd part, is the lack of details from the normal sources of somewhat reliable information about the contents of the set. Like a special FRN, packaging details, or enhancement details on the brassbuck. We might see multiple levels of frosting like on the last few proof offerings. We usually see that sort of info long before the web page is posted...
In other news, the 2015 C&C set finally went unavailable. Last reported sales was 88,284, with a 90K mintage. (Sets may have been destroyed because of that FRN in the glue problem.)
There's a pic of the set on the mint's site. Hard to learn any details from it though.
You must have caught them when they were testing.
Maybe that means their thumb will actually see sunshine today. Heh...
I knew it would happen.
Wish the .gov would lower the mintage of this 2016 set for a faster sellout.

Maybe they figure that creating anticipation is a better marketing approach. Why post them sooner, just to endure months of whining about this or that perceived shortcoming, before the thing even goes on sale?

If it's really bad, they don't even preview the film beforehand at all.
Hmmmm....
United States Mint Opens Sales for 2016 American $1 Coin and Currency Set on June 16
WASHINGTON - The United States Mint will begin accepting orders for 2016 American $1 Coin and Currency Set (product code 16RA) on June 16 at noon Eastern Time (ET).
Priced at $14.95, the set consists of a tri-fold presentation folder that holds one enhanced uncirculated finish 2016 Native American $1 Coin from the United States Mint at San Francisco and one $1 Series 2013 Note from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. A Certificate of Authenticity is printed on the package.
The reverse (tails) design of the 2016 Native American $1 Coin features two helmets and two feathers that form a "V," symbolizing victory, unity, and the important role that code takers played in World War I and World War II. It includes the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "$1," "WWI," "WWII," and "CODE TALKERS."
The coin's obverse (heads) retains the central figure of the "Sacagawea" design first produced in 2000, with the inscriptions "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST."
The $1 Series 2013 Note features a low serial number and is from one of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks located throughout the country.
Edit to add: It's being reported that there will be a mintage of 75,000K, HH limit of 5, included press release link...
2016 American $1 Coin and Currency Set (16RA)
Mintage Limit: 75,000.
Household Order Limit: 5
One enchanced finish 2016 NA Brass Buck, one low serial number 2013 $1 FRN from one or more FRB. (The one pictured has a S/N Xxxx04000A)
Even at 75K (down 15K from last year), these will take a while to sell out with that HH order limit at 5...
I think last years set (RA15) is now finally sold out and off the Mint's website.
"The $1 Series 2013 Note features a low serial number and is from one of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks located throughout the country."
Does that mean a low serial number FRN from more than one bank? That's what it seems to imply.
That means there will be duplicate serial numbers. Another entry to the C&C FRN lottery beyond repeaters and radars.
We should start a registry of S/N's to see if any match. Possibly something to look for on an auction site.
I'm in for 1
I was going to break it into 2 and 3, but then realized it wasn't worth the extra shipping.
Be there or be... somewhere else...

Wonder if that means it is a good sleeper or if people are just a bit burned out...?
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
I like Backyard Junkie's suggestion to start a registry. I'm in for that.
Order # USM04256XXX
Will be interesting to see how many sets get opened just for the low serial FRN.

I don't know if it's that the Mint's server or software have been updated or simply a lack of interest in these sets.
I'm curious to see when the set will sell out.
I figured the relatively low mintage of 75,000 would have generated a lot more interest but what do I know!
Well, just Love coins, period.
This one seems pretty soft and under the radar.....

My take is there was no competition from the flipping crowd. No flipper in the world is going to touch this set, even with the 15K mintage reduction. (The 2015 set was finally flipped to "unavailable" again yesterday. HH limits were removed just after Black Friday, 7 months ago. You could have bought some 2015's yesterday morning.)
That also means the big dealers and TV hucksters probably didn't have their hordes out, either.
Ironically, I got some spam from Target this morning, saying today was National Flip-Flop day.
On the flip side (haha pun), let's say these FRN's are truly low serial notes. At 75K, if all 12 regional banks participate, that's 6,250 notes from each bank. There could be some extraordinary low serial numbers in these sets. (The sample photo shows 00004000.) The problem is, no one has been able to define what the word "low" means, and if all the banks sent (or even had) the same S/N range.
We should know sales thru Sunday on Monday...
Sets in hands....
Okay...what is the serial numbers?
Bills are all in holder straight.... This is a +

Nice serial numbers mas3387. Low, straight and sequential. Once this is known maybe there will be a mini surge. Lets see the sales figure on Tuesday.
How does the "enhanced" dollar look?
Just got shipped email.

They look pretty darn good....
In other news, CoinNews.net is reporting first day sales of 21,149 units, around 50% of last year's first day sales.
If the low serial number FRN's don't save this set, it'll be around for a while. With the 5 HH limit, they should have brought it back down to 50K...
F00013131A Hey, that's a good one ???
That was fast. Closest to a palindrome you're going to get with this set.
Your serial numbers are pretty high for a low serial number FRN, though.

25K is a very slow start...

I agree. Was hoping for some 3 and 4 digit #s.

13,000 out of the 24,000 sold so far. Wait untill you see who got the two and three digit serial numbers.
The bad news is, my S/N's fell into the 5 digit range too, and once again, completely failed in the FRN lottery. Not even consecutive bills. Different bank from mas3387, though, so maybe we'll see some duplicate numbers.

If these are low S/N's to the mint, this issue is DOA.
