I'm tired of playing this game; I just scooped up about a dozen of the S Unc. Mankillers on eBay for $4.50 each...and I'm satisfied.

Hey buddy, there’s times I realize that I should think about your approach. Save time and get some for the collection.
Other times I enjoy the hunt. What I did was watch for months on end to get everything I want on enrollment. That is not making fun of how frustrating it is, just my solution. I do hear you. 🤨🦫🙀

smuglr · June 15, 2022 7:45AM

I had enrollments (three separate orders five 3 roll sets total) for these at Sally time. I cut it back to three sets a couple weeks ago (lack of finds ) and then last minute, Saturday afternoon, trimmed down to just two of the sets (which was what I needed for myself and a collector in Canada I trade with). The USM cut one of the enrollments, so I only have one 3 roll set.I called in but of course customer service could do notjing and couldn't have cared less.

RichR · June 15, 2022 8:39AM

And I'm really not understanding how they're cutting enrollments for established customers (and they can check your account history to determine that), BUT NOT SETTING A SALE LIMIT ON DAY OF SALES???

If they set a limit of 1 or 2 on sales day, at least I could rationalize the reduction in enrollments...but theoretically allowing somebody to order 99????? That makes no sense at all.

incompetence and a total disregard for their non dealer customers.

Did anyone else try today...I didn't see anything flip.

Batman23 · June 16, 2022 4:33AM

I did not see anything flip either.

jshaulis · June 16, 2022 4:35AM

No flip.

Jzyskowski1 · June 16, 2022 5:56AM

The boys and I report…, nada 😉🙀🦫🎣

jshaulis · June 17, 2022 4:32AM

Didn't see anything flip this morning. A lot harder to get these this time around.

Batman23 · June 17, 2022 4:33AM

Not this morning.

Jzyskowski1 · June 17, 2022 6:47AM

Boys and I tried fly fishing today but there was no opportunity. Nothing showed up. 😉🙀🦫

Bullsitter · June 17, 2022 6:51AM

That was quick for regular shipping.

Batman23 · June 18, 2022 4:33AM

And another morning with nothing.

Jzyskowski1 · June 18, 2022 4:35AM

Beautiful start to the day Nothing around here. Coffee and coins here we come 😉🙀🦫

The morning I sleep in is the morning everyone else gets lucky. And at 3:30 am it's going to happen.

Mine order showed up several days early.

Batman23 · June 19, 2022 4:31AM

Not happening.

Very quiet. 😉🙀🦫.
Still burnished ase’s available 😎

RichR · June 19, 2022 5:32AM

Jshaulis...were those 20 sets ordered as a subscription...and were they reduced?

I'm just trying to determine how random the Mint's actions are?

RichR · June 19, 2022 5:50AM

The Mint says "Happy Father's Day" SUCKERS!!!

No subscription, just ordered on release day.

  Well dang it all. Ofcourse they were ordered, day of.  😂😂

The mint must have made a “error “😂. They would never lie. 🤨🙀🦫
If a well run organization like “The United States Mint” sez they are sold out, then it must’ve been an error 😎

RichR · June 19, 2022 9:52AM

Well again...I just don't understand how on one day the Mint is reducing subscriptions...and literally the next day they are not limiting the quantities of those same items?

Now if they had reduced subscriptions...and then also set a low HHL limit...OK I could understand that in the spirirt of spreading around the wealth.

Or if they didn't reduce subscriptions...and were either already sold out on Day Of sales day...or had extremely limited quantities...I could also understand that in the spirit of first come, first serve.

But to do one but not the other, I definitely can't understand that!

This is like pickpocketing the subscription participants.

smuglr · June 19, 2022 11:37AM

I requested a callback as to why my enrollment was cut from two sets to one and they haven't (probably won't) even replied. The USM policies are inconsistent at best and although I thought I had been seeing improvement, thry obviously still suck.

RichR · June 19, 2022 12:09PM

[[I requested a callback as to why my enrollment was cut from two sets to one and they haven't (probably won't) even replied.]]

Cutting 2 to 1 on an enrollment is totally ridiculous, especially when you then sell 20+ sets to an individual the next day! Did everyone else have their subscription orders reduced by 50%...doubtful...since practically nothing was available for sale on Day 1.

And yes, total disclosure, I was totally shut out within seconds on Day 1.

Jzyskowski1 · June 19, 2022 1:29PM

First we have heard of 2 enrollments dropping to 1. Crazy 😉🙀🦫

RichR · June 19, 2022 4:38PM

[[First we have heard of 2 enrollments dropping to 1. Crazy]]

Right? Some standard policy or approach to these decisions would be nice.

smuglr · June 19, 2022 5:48PM

What really burned me was that I had cut from five sets to three after Sally and last minute Saturday before the release I cut to just the two sets I needed. I should have left it at five and returned any extras. I'll boost my numbers again for the next release.

Batman23 · June 20, 2022 4:32AM

Nada

jshaulis · June 20, 2022 4:35AM

Didn't see it flip this morning.

Jzyskowski1 · June 20, 2022 7:59AM

Very quiet, not even a chance.
Enjoy trying but there’s more new goodies 🤨 awaiting my $.
Real pretty morning up here. (8,000ft) in the Colorado mountains. 😉🙀🦫

coiner · June 20, 2022 8:19AM

The way this SHOULD be handled is no more than 50% of any product offering should be released to enrollments.
The same product limits should be applied to enrollments as on “opening day” releases.
The quantity allowed should be based on size of mintage. Less than 10,000 available = limit 1. Period.
The USM clearly screwed up as usual, annoying many customers that won’t come back. The flippers will soon be gone too, once they increase the number of S rolls next year to double or triple what they are now. This is the typical action of the USM.
Also, by limiting the 3 roll sets at the last minute to 4 or less, should have made available at least 500 or more sets on opening day. What happened? Apparently only 175 available sets on opening day. I don’t buy it. It’s BS again. I suppose the extra roll sets went to the dealer network. Interesting how those big boys don’t want to buy these.

Bullsitter · June 20, 2022 8:27AM

They could triple the mintage but then nobody would want them.

JeffM · June 20, 2022 10:20AM

The Mint simply does not give a rat's arse about pleasing collectors. It's all about bringing in the $$$$ - as much, as quickly, and as easily for them.

Yes, and they could have easily doubled their profit on this run had they just minted and released twice as many. There is nothing saying the mintage has to be limited. They should have known this was possible after the rush from the last two releases. Minting another 300,000 circulation strike clad quarters in San Francisco should be a simple task. So why didn't they?

Jzyskowski1 · June 20, 2022 11:44AM

Batman,
You don’t suppose the bass tar reds know exactly what their doing and are not only presenting the singular digit of indignation our general direction but really really enjoy it 🤨🙀🦫

RichR · June 20, 2022 11:54AM

I'm actually a pretty easy going person...I understand that some things are complicated and/or take time...but I can't tolerate rank stupidity or illogic...

Obviously, the Mint knows the quantities ordered via subscription...therefore, they could have decided to cut all orders...let's just say for argument...over 10 in half...so nobody gets more than 5 rolls via subscription...great...

And then on the day of online sales, you also set the maximum HHL at 5...or maybe even less...to spread the wealth as far as possible.

But instead, what do we have? People had their subscription for 2 slashed in half...what about orders for 4 and 6 or 8 or 10...were they also cut in half...or not touched at all???

And then having no HHL for the 2 second online sales period...that's the level of stupidity that annoys the hell out of me!

Jzyskowski1 · June 20, 2022 12:30PM

Rich. I agree and still am shocked that someone got 20 at release. I’m extremely happy for our forum member and understand.
I’m like you Rich. Hate having my nose rubbed in it. And, again, I am in no way mean implying our formite. It’s the mint. Like they are holding a grudge against us for not jumping all over their overpriced comms. 🤨🙀🦫

HATTRICK · June 20, 2022 7:00PM

Greed, stupidity and over production killed the markets for Pogs, Pokemon, Beanie Babies and Sports Cards and will also kill the modern mint coins market with all its BS labels and hype. The boomers will soon realize that no one will want to buy all the BS coins and labels in the near future and they will become worthless as there will be no one to sell them to.

Batman23 · June 21, 2022 4:31AM

This one just does not seem to be showing up.

Yes. The market is saturated with constant new releases from countries all over the world. There are a lot of releases out there because they are money makers for the mints and dealers.

Hi Flips...not to be too dense...what do those number represent to you?

Are there unsold rolls?

https://catalog.usmint.gov/american-women-quarters-2022-rolls-and-bags-wilma-mankiller-22WRF.html shows Product Limit of 7,620. The post implies there are an additional 53 rolls that could come for sale in the future.

1tommy · June 22, 2022 4:32AM

Just picked up another set.

Iamthewalrus53 · June 22, 2022 4:34AM

I managed to get a 3 roll set this a.m. Had it in bag for several days

Bullsitter · June 22, 2022 4:36AM

3-roll set up for a few seconds.
