I got the reminder email, looked at the design, and decided to indulge myself. This is my first Mint order in almost five years. Compared to the last few times, the process was butter-smooth - in the queue until 12 noon, got in at 12 noon, was checked out by 12:02, including updating my expired CC from the last time. I'm guessing there isn't a massive crush for these, given the premiums and mixed opinions about the designs. I'm eager to see them, though.
Odd to see a 250 privy mark on a coin dated 1916. Plus they didn't even bother to put the W mint mark on it! Gosh. Are you getting the rest of the series (i.e. 1916 Dime, Quarter, Half, 1804 Dollar, 1907 20-Dollar)? This post seems to think there will be/was a mad rush to get em! https://www.cointalk.com/threads/th...-is-now-available-at-the-mint-website.423094/
Yeah, well...as of just before 8pm EDT "inStockDate": "Wed Sep 02 2026", "availabilityStatus": "IN_STOCK", "isPreOrder": false, "isBackOrder": false, "ats": 14674, If you are going to build the set, there is another quarter, the dollar, and the $20, you will be into it the better part of 10k...
I likely would have been in on this, had they not already done this gold coin in 2016 as well (when gold was a bit cheaper, too!).
Whoa; how are you able to pull this? Almost seems like a JSON response you'd get from an API call. Does the US mint offer such an API; or is this simply from their published sales reports? Edit: I did grab one gold standing liberty quarter set.
I didn't get the dime, and I'm not especially excited about the half. We'll see about the dollar or double eagle, but those would be a bit of a stretch on the self-indulgence axis.
