    My last two orders for 2026 Unc sets are stuck in processing. Yet the 3 orders placed are in order history with assigned numbers. I only got email confirmation on 4 set order. This morning I thought maybe there's a problem placing a 4 and 3 and 2 item order even though there are no limits. Red Button went live again so I tried to adjust up my 4 set order and system said 4 is "GLOBAL ITEM LIMIT" yet there are no limits on 190k ad info.

    Maybe they decided to add a HHL which will show up sometime before release. Could explain why red bar keeps popping up as they cancel or reduce orders. I have read on the forum in the past that some subscriptions and even confirmed orders have been reduced or cancelled while some went thru.

    The mintage limit has gone down for these sets on the subscription page:

    It went from this:

    To this:

    If true, then 151,520 is less than was made last year in 2025, which was 165,819 which was the combined mintage of three different sets. Since this is a mintage limit, they may not make more than this number, but could potentially make less. Inventory numbers should be available prior to ordering.

    $980 for 5.88 ounces of silver, $166.66 an oz for .999 fine.
    Insane ! Or is it ?

    Red button now disappeared...

    That silver dime and half dollar look pretty nice as long as you can ignore the cost, like I did in my order for 4 -- although I placed it before the price change, I'll be staying with them. :#

    Not sure from your post that you know you will be charged the current price at time of shipment and not the price when you made the subscription. Except for the price it will be a nice set.

    I am oddly attracted to idea of the 1776~2026 silver proofs and Unc. Kinda reminds me of 1976 products my Dad bought when I was a kid. I inherited all those goodies, still have them all.

    Unc 1776~2026 subscriptions has had RED Button lit for about an hour now, in case anyone needs one or some 190k max with no HHL baseless metal sets for $124.50 ?

    Red button gone again...

    Oh, yes indeed I understand that, thanks. Wow, imagine if the old subscriptions got the old price. lol

    Still a great deal for collectors to lock in to items before sell out as long as they can back out if they don’t like the price change.

    Highly doubt the old prices are honored, but that would be awesome.

    I am hoping for short term silver crash and prices drop before 4-21.
    Then next date is end of June and final date is Fall. But I highly doubt that admission price drops even if silver tanks. No reason for the Circ Unc Mint plus two Cents set to drop.

    I will hang in until 8 days out from launch dates and then decide what quantities to cut down or hold. I am pretty certain I do want everything subscribed to, it's the numbers that are a moving target.

    If I get flaws, not fun errors, they'll get returned & likely not replaced.

    I'd be sad to miss out on various 250th poor man's stuff now that I am aware of the catalogue, mintages, designs struck in silver & base metals. No 250th gold for me.

    I've spied a new Fall option, P mint marked Peace and Morgan Unc two-coin sets with HHL 2 at $375 a set thats like a companion duo to 2026 Philly Congratulations ASE. Reverse proof pair are breaking up & going solo.

    I wish people would just buy coins they like and not add all of the Drama.

    Well this is sad. They can use silver for the dime, quarters, and half, but they can’t be bothered to make the cent in bronze? Still using zinc?!

    Correct. It's a silver set. Not a bronze set. Not a circa 1964 metallic composition set.

    Not a single person who would otherwise be interested balks at buying the set because the cent is not bronze. So no, "they can’t be bothered to make the cent in bronze."

    Absolutely no reason to go to the time, trouble or expense of sourcing those planchets. None.

    And people would be complaining if it was bronze because then they'd have to buy both the regular and silver set to get the 2 different cents.

    All of the coins in these sets should be silver, but they aren't. It is called a "silver" set.

    Then the U.S. never issued gold and silver coins until the Silver Eagles, if you want to be hyper-literal.

    You can ask the mint to rename them, but that won't change the content any.
