If the 2027 Congrats set also has a P mint mark,will it detract away from the 2026 P marked coin?
No. It's not the P. It's that it is the only 2026-P. I think you are under the misconception that it is the only P mintmark. It is not.
One might also argue that the 2026-P ASE will earn its place within the top 5 lowest mintage of the series:
The '26-P has a limit of 60k, and current sales have it at 40,067 pcs.

March 15, Latest sales show 40,064 for Congratulations.
As of March 22, the sales number shows 40,055.
As of March 29, the sales number shows 40,067.
As of April 5, the sales number shows 40,063.
As of April 12, the sales number has come full circle back to the 40,064 number.
These numbers are so interesting. Anyone ever hear anything on the other 20k?
I have not heard anything on the last 20k. If they don't make them that will be a big thing for the 40k issued. I would like to know ahead of time before they release the final 20k so I could be ready for the fight. With no HHL, the fight will be over very fast.

I think the mint keeps track of things like this thread. It would be silly not to mint the other 20K as they would certainly sell out quickly. I hope the mint does not mint and sell the other 20K.

Limited quantities of the highly popular 2026 Congratulations Sets are on the way—just in time to celebrate graduation and other major milestones and achievements! These additional units will be available to purchase on the official United States Mint website on May 6. Don’t miss out—quantities are limited and won’t last long.
Hopefully the HHL is reinstated before 06 May just like they did for the US Army Privy coin restocking campaign in summer 2025. Can you imagine the marketing disaster for the USM to go and advertise the restocking only to have bots purchase the remaining X units in less than 10 seconds.

The 2026 Congrats ASEs are really bringing high prices for PR70 and barely issue price for PR69 on EBay it seems, looking at the numbers I may try my luck, buy one and send it in, no way I'm paying $700 for a PR70.

It’s worth a shot! I got three with the first release. I think two of them had a chance at a 70 but only sent the one I was sure of and sure enough, it 70’d.

I got one this morning and then I tried to order another with my second account but HHL was already met.
I got one and for informational purposes tried a second time and it allowed me the whole way up to “place order” and I didn’t pull the trigger. In the past it wouldn’t even let me get that far if I tried to violate the HHL. As @jmlanzaf stated earlier, “the website is broken”.

I tried for a second, I was able to get all the way through the order process to the final click. It was after the final click that I was told the HHL was already met,.

Ahhhh....didn't have the desire for another one so didn't go that far. Also didn't want to get cancelled for a second order.
Odd that it let us get that far. For example: if I try to start a new subscription for the Uncirculated set and put it in my cart, it gives me the HHL notice right away.
Always an adventure with the Mint. I missed these the first time around and I was determined not to miss them again.
So I set my alarm at 6:40...
Checked at 6:45: Nope
Checked at 7:00...7:01: Nope
Checked at 7:15...7:16: Nope
Checked at 7:30...7:31: Nope
Checked at 7:45...7:46: Nope
Checked at 8:00...8:01: Nope...went back to bed...must be Noon...
Just happened to check again on my phone at 8:05...HOLY CRAP!!!!
Ordered 1 for me
Put the post up on this board that they were available
Ordered a second...just because...revenge
Went back to bed with my coffee
Comments
Some of the coin dealers are starting to run out of inventory, so prices may move up soon.
Then it'll be time to release the 19,000 or so left in the product limits. Wonder how many of those 19,000+ they will actually Mint?
If the 2027 Congrats set also has a P mint mark,will it detract away from the 2026 P marked coin?
No. It's not the P. It's that it is the only 2026-P. I think you are under the misconception that it is the only P mintmark. It is not.

The '26-P has a limit of 60k, and current sales have it at 40,067 pcs.
1) 2019-S Enhanced Reverse Proof: mintage = 29,909
2) 1995-W Proof: mintage = 30,102
3) 2008-W Reverse of 2007 Uncirculated: mintage = 46,318
4) 2026 Congratulations Gift Set = 60,000 (pending)
5) 2020-W v75 Privy Proof: mintage = 74,709;
Will the 2027 Congrats set have a Mintage limit of 60k, regardless of Mint mark? I don't know.
Yes, of course. If it had a mintage of 500,000 we wouldn't care. [I only half care as it is. Lol. ]

Mint email just arrived:
Limited quantities of the highly popular 2026 Congratulations Sets are on the way—just in time to celebrate graduation and other major milestones and achievements! These additional units will be available to purchase on the official United States Mint website on May 6. Don’t miss out—quantities are limited and won’t last long.
I wonder @ what time on May 6th? Noon?
Hopefully the HHL is reinstated before 06 May just like they did for the US Army Privy coin restocking campaign in summer 2025. Can you imagine the marketing disaster for the USM to go and advertise the restocking only to have bots purchase the remaining X units in less than 10 seconds.
I had signed up for an email notice if these came available. I have not seen anything about a new release yet.
I also signed up for the email and text notifications.
This morning at 0700 (Pacific time) I received a "Restocking Soon: 2026 Congratulations Set" email that sets the restocking date of 06 May 2026.
I have not seen a text notification as of yet, but plenty of time for other emails and texts to be sent for those that signed up for notifications.
I also received the email about restocking. I guess people at the mint read my post of 4/21. LOL
Yup, here we go again....that answers all the speculations in this 22 page thread! I've got enough of them,
this will most likely drop resale values a bit, but thats the game we play at the US mint.....lol

So much for being on the reminder mailing list. I still haven't received a notice about May 6 or the battleground layout.
Many people don't know about the new release as prices are over $300 a set raw on Ebay.
.
Seems like HHL of 1 is back on
Now lets see how many they release this second go-round. As of now, there is an ATS of "0" showing
If you have purchased one earlier..... does this exclude you from this round ?
Nobody knows. The Mint certainly won’t tell you up front.

Text from the Mint came in at 8:02am CST
Got back to my desk at work around 8:30am and figured I lost it for the 2nd time...
Glad I clicked and it was still available...
Same here - I was in waiting room then it kicked me out to home page.
