    The system worked flawlessly. Got all 5 sets I subscribed for today.

    Well, not exactly flawlessly. You, as I were lucky it didn't. Our subscriptions should have been dropped to the new hhl of one.

    Yes flawless. I got what I ordered. The US Mint does not reduce an order already placed.

    Not sure what you think you ordered, like @jmlanzaf said, the sub is for 2027 coins NOT 2026

    I think he's referring to the coins already shipped.

    Yes...

    They have in the past reduced subscriptions, to meet the new hhl. This happened widely for the AWQ 3 roll sets.

    That should not have happened. I didn’t subscribe to these so I can’t confirm.

    That has always been the Mint policy. What happened this year (several things) should not have happened.

    This is not true. Sound familiar? 😂. I have been subscribing since subscriptions started. Never did they lower my orders after the HHL was reduced.

    Someone already pointed out the quarters. Happened with a silver eagle a few years ago, iIRC, it also happened with the Morgan/Peace release a few years ago. You seem to be the only one who says otherwise.

    Regarding the HHL, I understand that this time the existing subscriptions with quantities greater than one were honored.
    During the past few weeks, I saw the “Add to Bag” multiple times, but I only added one.
    I am wondering: if I had added more during the past few weeks, would those have been honored? At what point is the HHL applied?

    Yes they would have been honored.

    He couldn't have added any in the last few weeks as the HHL was one at that time.

    Don’t remember what at the moment but had 1 for subscription before HHL changed to 1. Then yesterday placed another subscription order for 1. Both orders confirmed at this point. Will see what ships when it’s time. 🤔

    The HHL has been removed since Friday for the coin. What you don't want is to add a subscription. All subscriptions after Thursday are for 2027 not 2026.

    Was for another issue not released yet. Just wanted to make the point subscriptions over the HHL are still being accepted.
    What a cluster$&@? With the 250 issues.

    I subscribed in early January for the 2026 celebration set, I received both a 2025 and 2026. Maybe if you subscribe to the 2027 set you'll get a 2026 set as well?

    What receipts do you want? There's numerous threads on here bemoaning the fact that subscriptions were adjusted. You can dismiss everyone else, if you wish. You already basically admitted that it might have happened for the AWQ sets.

    Would the 1993 P be the first proof American Silver Eagle struck at the Philadelphia mint? I'm just wondering because of the 2026 P Congratulation set, if I'm not mistaken there's been post saying this is the first coin. Just wondering.

    "[sic], the 2026 Congratulations Set features the first standard, non-privy Philadelphia proof American Silver Eagle (ASE) since 2000, marked with the "P" mint mark. This set is limited to a mintage of 60,000 coins." --The Borg Mind Ai.

    Actually, I don't think it was posted earlier. TBD. They never said it wouldn't be.

    I guess we'll see when the sales report is published. If any sales in 40 coin trays are reported, then yes. Otherwise, who knows? Nothing stops them from holding coins back for bulk sales.

    The mint has reduced the subscribers in the past as was posted, but I imagine it was done manually. Today I doubt the mint has the staff to do it, or nobody wants to sit in front of a screen for hours going through orders to reduce purchases. Would they do it if the powers that be declared it? Yes, but as we see the system is not automated as some claimed, otherwise it would be retroactive.

    2026 Proof sales 295,410

    They must have struck 300,000, so they will strike 200,000 more to reach the mintage limit.

    2026 Congratulations set sales 39,195

    They only struck 40,000? So 20,000 more to strike.

    PS Raw prices don't correctly reflect these numbers, especially for a 40k set.

    What do you think they should be with 20,000 more "promised" yet keeping in mind the prices/lessons of the 2025 Silver Set?

    Currently $320ish with boxes of 3 going for $1000 in the last 48 hours?

  • HalfDimeHalfDime Posts: 858 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The prior week showed 28,828 Congratulations sales so that must have been bulk plus subscriptions.

    The regular proof had 209,027 bulk plus subscriptions.

    Because it's not a 40K set, when they said they would produce up to the mintage limit. Do you seriously expect people to overpay, after being told more are on the way?

    I honestly don't understand why they play these games, as opposed to taking back orders right up to the mintage limit at release, with the HHL still in place, but this is what they do. At some random point in the future, with or without notice, 20K will indeed drop, with no HHL. No reason for raw prices to be any higher than they are right now until they are officially sold out from the source.

    We won't know that until we see the sales report next week. We know they have several hundred thousand left to go on the dual dated coins, and we know they sold around 9K Philadelphia coins on Thursday.

    But we don't exactly how many they sold to the Big Boys, or through subscription. 60K is a relatively small mintage for something like this, so it's hard to rationalize why they wouldn't have made all of them up front. TBD.

    I think the sales report from 2/22 showed 28,828 of the Congrats at that stage. Add in whatever was available on Thursday and it looks like there’s some room to mint more.

    There's almost no way they didn't mint all 60,000 for a variety of reasons. The 2/22 sales would only include subscriptions and any ABPP sales. It is quite likely there were 30,000 available on Thursday.

    ATS was under 9k

    OK. And there were also subscriptions sold from 22nd through 26th, off and on. And my subscription didn't get processed until the 24th along with a number of other people on the forum.

    Would you like to wager money that next week's sales show 55,000+ sold? The cost of stopping and restarting production is not insignificant and there's no reason they would bother with such a short run. It's not impossible, but it's highly unlikely that they didn't make all 60 000.

    So uh is 39k higher than 55k?

  • RAWcoinRAWcoin Posts: 62 ✭✭✭

    The 2 sets for the 8th grade grandkids just arrived.
    If mintage holds at 40,000 , they’ll be getting the upcoming silver proof set instead

  • smuglrsmuglr Posts: 512 ✭✭✭✭

    I believe the mintage will end up at the 60k, but if it does not, and you are looking, the dual date ASE should be available again and would be a unique item for the grandkids.

    Me too! I know you are not a huge fan of my conspiracy theories, and have a counter factual to every single one I ever come up, no matter how reasonable or plausible. But hear me out anyway.

    I think we agree that it would make no sense for them to short strike only 40K of these if they always intended to make the full 60K if demand warranted. As though anyone at the Mint seriously thought they couldn't sell 60K.

    So, what if, under new management, they made the full 60K, and decided to hold 20K back, beyond the reach of the grubby mitts of the masses patiently waiting their turn in the waiting room last week, to sell to Big Boys later at the Big Boy bulk discount? Think this might be possible?

    Think maybe this is why raw prices aren't even higher right now? I do. Just wait and see how quickly 20K disappear, with no purchase limit, once they drop. Please let us all know how many you are able to get.

    Nope. I was wrong. As I said, I'm surprised. And not surprised. Nothing at the Mint is normal.

    The Big Boys could buy as soon as the HHL was lifted. So, no, I don't exactly buy that theory. But nothing is normal at the Mint right now. I'm not going to guess at anything at the moment.

    Nobody knew how many more would be produced until a couple of hours ago. Nobody knew the mint only struck 300k of the regular proof either.

    The mint is seriously behind on products products for this year. No commemoratives yet, no 2025 clad super hero medals, no new presidential silver medal.

    They should have just left the mintages alone with what they struck here and moved on to those other products.

    Actually, we did think they only struck some 300,000 of the regular proofs before the release based on ATS. This miniscule 60k Congratulations being short 20k is a little more confounding.

    But, whatever, we just have to roll with it.

    Correct. "The Big Boys could buy as soon as the HHL was lifted."

    My whole point is that if 60K were sold last Thursday, there would be nothing left to buy, other than a few credit card rejects. Now, there are 20K just waiting to be bought. A few hundred or a few thousand at a time, before any of the people who never made it out of the waiting room ever see them.

    Do you think this is consistent with the implementation of HHLs on "hot" releases? To short mint them, not accept Back Orders, and then release the balance at an indeterminate time in the future, with no HHLs. Where some might receive advance notice while others do not?

    I'm not arguing they can't do whatever they want. I'm arguing this isn't right. And that it appears to be exactly what is happening.

    If they do what they did with one of the military privies last year, and send everyone a notice before the missing 20K go on sale, and reinstitute the HHL for that sale, I will stand corrected. But we all know that is not going to happen.

    And that there was no legitimate reason to only make 40K available for sale on 2/26. Other than to make sure that 20K that would otherwise have been sold to the public, one at time, on 2/26, are available to be sold at a later date in quantity to parties other than members of the retail public.
