It's crunch time for the Mint again.
2021 Reverse Proof American Silver Eagle Two-Coin Set Launch

Anticipated by many, once delayed, and likely not available for long, the United States Mint’s 2021 Reverse Proof American Silver Eagle Two-Coin Set goes on sale today beginning at Noon ET.

Officially named the "2021 American Eagle One Ounce Silver Reverse Proof Two-Coin Set Designer Edition," the collectible is is expected to be one of the most popular U.S. Mint products released this year because it contains a West Point Mint-struck 2021-W American Silver Eagle with the original or classic design (Type 1) and a San Francisco Mint-struck 2021-S American Silver Eagle with the new design (Type 2).
Sweetening the pot, the pair are in a brilliant reverse proof finish which showcases polished, mirror-like design elements that attractively contrast against frosted backgrounds. Further, the set’s mintage/product limit is capped at 125,000. This instantly makes both coins key issues in the entire American Silver Eagle series.
Initially, the two-coin set was scheduled for a release on Aug. 24. A few days before the 24th, however, the Mint pushed the release back just shy of three weeks to land on a less-typical release day of Monday (today).
Those interested in the set should be proactive. Recommendations include making sure your account with the U.S. Mint is up-to-date with a valid credit card, and logging in several minutes before its launch to be prepared. Anyone who has attempted to purchase a popular Mint release can attest that both patience and frustration will be part of the equation. The Mint has taken steps to alleviate past issues, but demand for this product is expected to still strain the Mint’s website. In some good news, orders are limited to one set per household for the first 24 hours of sales. This restriction will help more people get one.

I was not going to try for this one.... Now, as it approaches availability, I am wavering.... Maybe.... will decide as deadline nears. Cheers, RickO
If you’re not sure just order slow
@JimTyler...
Still laughing at that one..... Ordering will be slow for sure.... If past sales are any indication. Cheers, RickO
Man, talk about going down to the wire
Mint website kicked me off after I had put the item in the cart.
I thought after the last fiasco that the Mint promised to fix their website. You know, we got another apology out of that one.
I'm done with them.

Must be the new mint strategy to avoid a fast sellout!

Can someone tell me how these become key dates?
Keys are: 2019 s erp, 1995 w proof, and the v75. The 2008 rev 2007 is in the mix but not a proof so depends what you are collecting. One of the coin Greybeards will correct me if I missed any.

I guess the article states "key issues" not meaning key dates. The 2021 set will be a lower mintage issue, I'm assuming that's what they meant.
How many more 70's of this will be available compared to 70's from 1986? That is really the question. Also, how many compared to future issues, to determine number of all 70 sets available. That type of condition rarity is rarely discussed for some reason.
