“Collectors know this will go fast. Don’t wait.”
Meanwhile the ad shows a coin they haven’t been able to sell in 2+ years.
Better hurry 🙂

    I see them advertising a ton of offerings thats not currently available, all the time, they need some help in their SM/advertising group, for sure.

    The US Mint is out of touch with how to both advertise and run a business in the social media age.

    it's giving strong << we clear-cut our marketing dept, have business leaders getting marketing ideas from ai and are completely detached from the business we manage and the customers our business relies on >> energy

    Over stamp them with a privy mark, label them as special issues, and the coins will sell like hot cakes to flippers.

    How hard would it really be to overstrike the 2026 issues and sell them as over strikes? The first Continental Congress was held in 1774. Maybe they could overstrike the 2026 coins and dub them double semiquincentennial issues.

    I get those ads on social media as well, and I know better than to know the product they're asking me to purchase is in stock.
