If they do that, these become bullion. The only reason anyone cares is because they are P not W.
And that is not what "reverse of 2007" means. It was a different die. The 2025 reverse die is the same as the 2026 even if you use a different mint mark.
Your correct my friend...... However one has a duel date and the other does not !
Not on the reverse. And so you're original comment still makes no sense to me.

Not between 2025 and 2026. I know what the 2007/2008 difference was. He said he wanted the 2026 to have the reverse of 2025, but that's the identical reverse.

Of course. I'm talking about the Yancey discovery.

Do both coins have a Duel date on the obverse ?

What does that have to do with the REVERSE? Maybe just own your mistake and move on. You said you wanted the 2026 to have the reverse of 2025. The good news is that they DO!

My 5 subscriptions for the 2026 Congrats set has shipped. That was quick.5 subs on one account?
Yes. I had more on subscription but lowered it to 5 prior to them lowering them to 3.
That proves they are broken. Lol
Nothing broke. The mint has always honored what someone has ordered. Many times I have had subscriptions prior to them lowering limits and not once had the mint removed my orders.
Anyone who says limits were lowered in the past are surmising that but in reality has never happened.Not true happened with the 3 roll AWQ.
I wonder what happened to cause that?
They lowered the HHL and that affected the subscriptions to lower those HHL amounts also.
Oh yes when they lower the HHL that does include subscriptions. If they lower it from 3 to 1 you can only order 1 at that time. Those who ordered 3 prior still get 3
In the case of the AWQ 3 roll sets, I had 5 subscriptions from before the first one was released. I received 5 sets of the girst issue, because of popularity the USM cut the HHL to 3 for the second release, and then to one by the third release. They have done this in the past. I'm very surprised it didn't happen with the Congratulations Set, but this was a strange release.

Yes, that was the normal pattern. But the whole site was flaky today.

My brother in laws confirmation email said it was a westpoint minted coin. Anyone else have that error? When he clicks the link it takes him to the correct coin.

Understood. The 27 minute wait was after the coin went live. Beforehand I had a 13 minute wait before I was allowed to log in which was around 12:02.

I'm not sure if anyone has offered Congratulations for those who got the Congratulations Coin today.
CollectPure has a best offer of $305 for a Qty of up to about 500.
Ebay's lowest BIN listing is $325 shipped.
As for the -W, you don't get any congratulations but Ebay's lowest BIN listing is $272.50 I believe.1 -

I really do not like this waiting room thing the mint does. Yesterday it hung me up for an hour and I never did see a glimpse of the add to button. This morning, about 1 minute before potential drop time, I get stuck in the wait room. The wait room lets me out 30 seconds after drop time. I never had a chance to see if anything flashed available. I haven't played this morning game for a few years but this takes the fun right out of it.

It opened for about 2 or 3 seconds for me. Not much time to do anything before it went dark.

so what is the USM going to do with the W Enhanced issue in April now? limit existing subscriptions to 1? if 500,000 proofs sold out in 20 minutes and 60,000 Ps in 15 can't imagine the 125,000 enhanced Ws lasting more than 30 minutes in April.
if you want one sign up for the 1 subscription now and dont complain in April when you get kicked out of the waiting room.
just saying.

I haven't played this morning game for a few years but this takes the fun right out of it.That's because most people don't know how it works. The alternative is that only bots and really lucky people get hot coins. With the waiting room everyone has a chance.

There is an eBay listing claiming to have 2 on-hand. It sure looks like a westpoint mint mark.
Scratch this -- Weinman artist mark. Thanks @MetroD

Ouch. So, same coin different packaging as the regular W proof. That's pretty much bait n switch.

The mint posted that they did not make the full production of both silver eagle coins (as many here already know), and will make the full amounts now, so anyone who missed out gets a second chance. There were many unhappy campers who posted after the mint said it on facebook:
When the mint sales report comes out next week it should show how many were sold, so we will know how many they can produce by subtracting the mintage limits.
