Nope.
Similar limited quanity as before according to the sale rep on the floor. I will get one today to continue my serie as my 2016 Standing Liberty Gold wasn't fully stuck. Hopefully this one would be.Too bad Director Hollis is at the FUN show today so he can't sign my booklet again.

Not sure how it affects the ATS numbers, but US Mint does have a setup at FUN and will be selling these today at noon. Yesterday, the employee said they have "a lot" on hand.Yet another sign they do not expect a quick sell out. When items are hard to get, they typically don't have "a lot" to bring to shows. Otherwise, they want to sell them to an eager audience. I'll bet they also have "a lot" of Morgan and Peace Dollars.
Whatever they have at the show has almost certainly already been deducted from ATS, since ATS is what the online and phone order systems pull from, and they can't sell them online or by phone if they are physically at a coin show. If not already, it will be pulled shortly before noon.
Last time around, they were not available at the Mint gift shops. I'll bet that's not the case for this one.
They did a release simultaneously with the Baltimore show a few years ago. They had 600 at the Baltimore show and gave out numbered tickets starting at the show open. My buddy spent 4 hours waiting to get in the shop as they let them in 10 at a time. They were sold out online in 20 minutes, but he was still in line at the Mint waiting.

DC Store.
I would be extremely ecstatic if the details shown are as depicted online.
Standing Liberty and Peace Dollar are two of my favorite designs.

I was referring to the people who said that they got them from the gift shop. I was wondering which one.

That's unusual, and a sign that they did not think that one would be so hot. Again, BOM1 was not widely released to Mint gift shops. It was not a smash hit. Now, "a lot" of BOM2 will be available for sale at FUN.

I wonder how "hot" BOM 4 & 5 will be! They will be $, but pretty cool.

I should have my head examined. I keep saying I'll spend less, then, when these are released, I have a compulsion to buy one. Ugh. This was fast. Less than one min in waiting room. But, based on the ones 10 y ago, these will be great looking. Still, not a smart buy. Way too high for the gold content. Yet, I got one. I don't know why I can't resist. Ugh.

i'm resisting to purchase one myself.Smart!! I still might cancel. I should stay away from all of these. Other than the Enhanced AGE, which is just so awesome looking (but still overpriced) I'd do well to avoid all of this.

Did you get them in DC Or Philly?I did not, because I chose not to take a shot when so few would be available. Turns out I was worried about nothing, because they were easily available online.
My only point here is that the Mint did not make them widely available in the gift shops because they anticipated a frenzy. A frenzy that did not manifest. That's why they brought "a lot" to Orlando this time around.

My order number is USM22843xxx.
Based on some of the order numbers posted here, there seem to be at least 1,000 of us suckers across the country who can't pass this up despite the unpleasantly high price.

Wishy~Washy Man !
Got me an order #228451xx at 10:02 am email confirmed.

THE chit~chatters were incorrect.

AND still no backorder 255 pm Eastern
Happy 710 Day !

I got an alert around 11:40, went into the waiting room around 11:50. At noon, nothing happened, but I was dealing with work (stupid job is always getting in the way of the IMPORTANT stuff
) So I refreshed at 12:01 and got dumped back in the waiting room. It let me in a few minutes later and I ordered. USM22848xxxI just went to the Mint website now (12:10) and it let me right in, so I guess the quarters aren't that hot.
One question...since I've bought a bunch of stuff from the Mint this year, I get "upgraded" to expedited shipping at no extra cost right?

They knew it would be hot. They like to schedule releases simultaneous with the show. It was 800 not 600

The 2026 ASE die etching (for lack of better words) went back to the more original rendition. The devices were a bit less detailed than previous AS Eagles. Was the same philosophy taken for this 1916 quarter or is the detail the same in sharpness as the 2016 release date gold quarter?

WASHINGTON, July 07, 2026 — The first 250 customers at the United States Mint (Mint) at Philadelphia Gift Shop received a 2026 Semiquincentennial Declaration of Independence quarter featuring a special "July 4" privy mark at the festivities on the Fourth of July as part of the nation's Semiquincentennial celebration. The Mint at Philadelphia also welcomed hundreds of visitors to enjoy the Mint's self-guided public tour.

With the "inStockDate" of Sept 2, I'm thinking the best way to get this is at the gift shop. Luckily for my wife (and bank account), we don't live anywhere near Philly. Guess I'm gonna pass on this one. :'(
Oh, well. On to the 1804...(and 1907

No problem ordering one today. That’s the most for one single item I’ve ever spent with the Mint online. Purchased about 2:00 today.

I know they almost always have releases at big national shows. But, when the item is really hot, as with the FH gold that they under produced, they do not bring "a lot" to the shows.
Which is why the lines at the shows. Because they sell out quickly. Not as quickly as online, because they can only process so many transactions manually at a show, but still.
What you described is an aberration. They usually sell out quickly at the show, or they bring a lot and don't sell out at all, because they also aren't selling out same day online.

Someone has probably addressed this on the forum, but I can't find it so let me ask: 250-year privy aside, is the 2016 Standing Liberty Quarter issued in 2026 the same coin as the 2016 Standing Liberty Quarter issued in 2016? Or does one somehow have a better, deeper strike than the other?

Give me a week & I'll post comparison images as I still own my two 2016 Topless 24k 25c purchases from the Mint
I wanted overnight delivery of 1916 Topless 24k 25c but chose wrong & saved $3.
