    Other than myself, did anyone pick up the gold/silver dime set?

    As of 12:30pm it looks like they are still avialable.

    i know many people don't buy the overpriced mint products anymore. I just really like Mercury Dimes and when I was perusing Provident the older 2016 dime by itself in OGP was near the price is this combo at $721 vs $810 for the 2026 combo.

    I grabbed one too. I wish it was cheaper and/or that the silver medal was available separately, but I couldn't pass up adding this to my collection. I can't wait to put it next to my highest graded Mercury dime and the 2016 gold counterpart :)

    At 30k mintage I thought they would be gone immediately. I was shocked that I got in about 11:15 Central and could still order it.

    When I originally logged in at 11:30 I had the screen for the set.
    Then their "thank you for your patient" screen with a 15 minute countdown until it opened the sales.

    I, like @fretboard , purchased the 2016 version along with the SLQ that year. I’ll pass on this years versions.

    Dime looks good enough, but too rich for my blood.

    Not a fan of the accompanying medal AT ALL. It looks like a poorly drawn cartoon.

    There has to be a good reason for me to buy the modern mint stuff these days, especially at their prices.

    All I really want is a silver Proof set every year to keep my Proof set date set going. I am hoping I'll get my set not too long after June 11 when it is supposed to be released. I have a subscription. I hope it works.

    I checked this morning, 363 were available at 8:47 am EDT.

    Keep checking back each morning, it appears this will follow the traditional pattern of canceled orders (bad credit cards, exceeding the Household Order limits), putting stock on sale for a few hours each day for a few days or a week.

    Yes, “Yikes.” At least it’s got silver in it. That’s why I switched to silver sets several years ago. Now the sets I bought years ago have values equal to the spot price.
