Based on ATS numbers that counted down from 100,000, we know they are already over 2 million of the "Never Forget" privy (and there's still time to order which might bring the totals up to 12 million - if they actually sell 100K of each Bag + roll). So I would much rather have the ~250,000 "Always Remember" West Point with "W" Mint mark. Too bad we can't order the West Point version directly from the Mint.

I'm hoping against hope that we have reports of W limited privy mark halves found in with the somewhat limited P privy mark halves, to go along with my P and D mint mark one year only halves 🤣

And since halves don't circulate how will the GP find one? Go to a FR Bank?
Same with the Declaration of Independence quarter hunt it seems. Will have to bug your local bank until they give you rolls of new coins. And if you're on the West Coast you're probably not getting them

I live in Hawai'i, we're still waiting for new 1964 Kennedy half.
All they needed to do was distribute the W mint privies within these, as with the Trump dollar privies and they would have sold out just the same, and the people who the difference matters to would actually have had a chance. Instead they are going to release them mixed into halves for circulation and almost no one, especially the people that it really makes a difference to will likely ever get them. They could have distributed some of the P mint to circulation for everyone to have had a chance at.
Mint kept my credit card preauthorization charge on the bags from 9-10 till yesterday.
$425: 4 bags & overnight delivery for an order not set to ship for till 12-03-26
I just ordered another bag of 100 just in case my first bag of 100 isn't enough. 😆
I actually have some plans for some of them and I want to have plenty on hand. Depending on the absurd prices some are asking on ebay I don't think the secondary market will be a good source for a while.
Coins will be available to pre-order during a window opening September 10, 2026, and closing September 25, 2026, at 3 p.m. ET. Shipping is expected to begin December 3, 2026
At 8:30 my time, which is 12:30 eastern time, ATS was 50855 on rolls and 72742 on bags. I would be interested to know what happened in the last 2.5 hours.
So the mint web sight these coins are sold out .... will they be offering these coins to the banks ? I can't remember the last time I had one in circulation..... prolly decades ago !

Highly doubt it, we're a card society. As far as I know the Mint said:
"Circulating-quality coins are available in a 20-coin roll and a 100-coin bag."

No. Only sold in rolls and bags during the ordering period.

let the mania begin!
the bags and rolls are "never forget"
So this is the same design that the 9/11 museum got, and not the coins that went on sale last week. ?!
I can't keep up.
Also from the press release:
The coins—struck at the West Point Mint and bearing a W mint mark—will be placed randomly into circulation across the Nation.
How will they be "randomly placed"? Mixed in with rolls of 2026 halfs? Mixed in somehow with older halfs? So many questions....
correct

Feels like a bait & switch operation. . .
Also, the banks are going to hate this program since hardly ANYONE uses 50 cent pieces in circulation.
Looks like the CRH who get them to look for silver on a regular basis will benefit greatly from this program.
"Trinkets Я Us" is the new paradigm for the U. S. mint. The paperwork to register the trademark has probably already been filed.
Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you sumthin' . . . . that ain't an optical illusion, it only looks like an optical illusion.
My mind reader refuses to charge me. . . . . . .

Presale ends tomorrow.

Unless someone is aware of them adding more to the pot, I'm guessing we are still running on the initial 100,000 of each.
I guess that’s about what I expected. Might be a last minute fomo run today.
Poof...gone for now

they're still available
You're right, they are back.

I'm confused. if there is a new item with flippable potential, I might be in.
There is, but it's only (potentially) available at your local bank.
Anyone else seeing "sold out?"
Yep, sold out right on schedule.
Coins will be available to pre-order during a window opening September 10, 2026, and closing September 25, 2026, at 3 p.m. ET. Shipping is expected to begin December 3, 2026
Did anyone grab the final ATS numbers before they closed the window?
it was still 50,000 + rolls and 70,000 + bags
when I purchased 20 rolls this morning
