Yes.
They are paring down their offerings so much they took away a set they didn't have and therefore made a new one or something. I don't know what is going on....
<< <i> * America the Beautiful Quarters Three-Coin Set ($13.95) -- one uncirculated coin from the United States Mint at Philadelphia, one uncirculated coin from the United States Mint at Denver, and one proof coin from the United States Mint at San Francisco. The first set issued under the Online Subscription Program contains three Hot Springs National Park quarters. Subsequent sets will contain three quarters for each national park or site when it is released. >>
The 3 Quarters at a Time Set for $13.95
and you were complaining about $8.95 for $1 worth of cents....
I'll ask right away...
will PCGS offer a single slab for these?

perhaps this is one for

of the list!
"Image not Available"
A three quarter set for $13.95 and they can't manage to have an image of it.
That would be laughable if were not so pathetic.

<< <i>I would consider it if the set also included the Silver Proof. >>
good point.
as Billy Kingsley points out, perhaps they are selling them as coin dealers sell them... 3 at a time?
(however, I'd rather have all 4)
Six if the hockey pucks come in both BU and Proof.
I am curious if the uncirculated coins in the three-packs will be matte.
On another note, my wife received a mailer today from something called PCS Stamps and Coins of Norwalk, CT selling one each BU in a fancy schmancy panel for only $15.95 per panel plus $2 shipping. She even has a "Vault Access Certificate." I wonder which one of the magazines she subscribes to sold her name on a mailing list. May they rot in he77!
Check out their website at www.americasquarters.com They don't even have the right design for the Arkansas!

I also noted the little ™ next to the America the Beautiful Quarters™ . I've never noticed that on a US Mint product before.
Oh well, they make em I guess they can hawk them anyway they like.

A very nice box can change everything.

obviously I'm guessing at this point, but I'd think these are going to be 3 coin "lens" like the proof silver proof, and unc. sets.
I wonder why?

They did the same thing with the Lewis & Clark (aka Westward Journey™) nickels in 2004, '05 & '06.

<< <i>How stupid does a buyer have to be. $70 for the 5 sets of these, and for probably less than that one can buy both the mint and proof annual sets. >>
In fact, it's cheaper to get the 5-P & 5-D Uncirc's, obtain the proofs separately. Think of the S&H, people.
I can understand why many people just breeze right by these, and have no desire to collect them. Having been to many, many National Parks, though, they have some meaning for me. It isn't going to break the bank to pick these up as they come about, and the memories they refresh for me makes the small price worth it.
But that's just me. You might smoke a different tobacco...

Now the business strike sets for $9.95 do interest me! 5 each, P & D Thanks for pointing that out!
I had not known of this and other new options until seeing the later links provided in this thread. A business-strike set could look really good, and help those of us who don't have ready access to OBR's at face. When's the last time the Mint offered any business strikes in a similar short set? The 3-piece Westward Journey 2006? I will definitely order this set, to go with the full mint set, and the full proof set.
Do you think this option and other subscriptions will become available as regular catalog items? I've never known any Mint offering to be subscription only, have you?

The product descriptions make a distinction of uncirculated quarters in the 3-piece set ($13.95) and a 10-piece set ($21.95), and circulated quarters in another 10-piece set ($9.95). I assume that means the uncirculateds in the 3-pack will be satin-finish only.

The three-piece set will have satin finish P&D coins and a standard S-mint Proof, for $13.95.
There will be one ten-coin satin finish set for $21.95
and one ten-coin "circulating quality" set for $9.95
all plus shipping.
<< <i>Coin World Online has the details.

Or order them all at the same time and only pay one shipping charge. Myself I would wait untill the annual silver and regular proofs sets are available and save more on shipping that way. That is if I was going to get anything from the mint this year.

This is the Mint we are talking about.
Will they have their, er, act together well enough to be able to ship all three subscription items at the same time???????

so it still sounds cheaper to buy the 10 coin satin finish set for $21.95 and add the silver set for less than the 5 3 coin sets.
I guess it's all about the wrapper, huh????
