    I'm in. Got page not found 2x when placing final order, but the 3rd try got thru. B)
    Got the order confirm email almost immediately. Hope that means something. :p

    And, at 12:10 (yeah, only 10 mins, but NOT an immediate sellout) -

    data-available="19395.0"

    Took me 3x but order went through. Regardless of demand, I bought because I like the design.

    I feel some guilt but not much 😂
    It’s the ase’s I’m in a self help program for. Plenty of time to dump it before July, or put it with my other colorized mint coins and start a set

    25,000 is fairly small. I will check eBay

    I'm wondering if the Mint has found a solution to the flippers and bots clogging up the system: pre-ordering with shipment down the road a few months. If that does it, I congratulate the Mint for helping us collectors.

    Investment 45 cents per quarter vs $95. Many quarter collectors may feel they need these to keep sets complete, and the mintages on these is pretty low at around 300,000. Also the finish on the roll set coins is uncirculated as opposed to business strike so if you just collect quarters you can skip the mint set, and of course the S mint.

    They probably saw the sale of the coin ends 4/25 ... and stopped reading. Wait, bots read English?? :D

    God forgive me...but I like the colorized version much better than the "traditional" version.

    I'm now going to set myself on fire for saying those words!!!

    BTW...has the Mint ever revealed how they're colorizing elements? What does that machine look like?

    Not even 50% sold.

    Can anyone else verify this number for me?

    @zyskowski1

    Can you tell me how this works again? I've tried in the past but just can't get it. Thank you.

    Go to the Mint product page you are looking to get amount remaining.

    Right click on the page and pick 'view page source' from drop down menu.

    Once there, click on 'Find' and enter 'availablecount' in the box.

    Let me know if it works for you.

    On the 3 coin proof set I came up with 2176 sets left.

    I get to page source but I don't see find to click it.

    Many happy BST transactions

    The coins are sent to China, where they are delivered to grammar schools for the kindergarten and first grade students to color using crayons, colored pencils, or tempera paints. These are hand colored originals!!!

    Then there’s these random listings
    ( I don’t sell on eBay or anywhere)

    I can’t find em for much less than $250 ish. This is a four pack and seems to be a good deal.
    Make offer available.

    Should have been clearer. In Firefox go to 'Edit' on menu bar and click on 'Find in Page.'

    Enter your data request.....'availablecount'......'data-available'

    availablecount seems to be locked today.

    Data-available = 11,831 currently.

    Looks like 24 to 48 hours before all are sold.

    Could not locate any information specific to the "Purple Heart" coin.

    FWIW, the Mint outsourced the colorization of the Basketball coins to LulaRose.
    Reference

    Edited to Add: CoinWorld indicates that the colorization process for the "Purple Heart" coin is "a post-strike application by an outside vendor".

    Is it post mint damage? If there’s a problem with the colorized process resulting in say , offcenter coloring?
