I just received mine. The cent is fine, as are all other coins... EXCEPT there's a hairline scratch on the obverse of the dollar, in the mirrored field on the right. Will have to exchange for another... anybody else done this process before? Do they handle it smoothly and competently? Edited to add photo:  Edited by AnotherMatt

I have not had to exchange a coin or set (yet)
but from I hear it is not that difficult to do.

It may be on the lens or the plastic retainer and is reflecting onto the coin. I have had many, many scratched lenses over the years, so you may want to confirm before going through the hassle of a return. |

I looked at it under a loupe, and the line ends exactly at the edge of the coin. I believe the doubling is the scratch being reflected off the inside of the plastic and again off the coin surface.
Even if it were just a scratch in the plastic, it's bothering me enough to exchange it.

That is a possibility. Reflections can be tricky. Good luck with the exchange, the only real hassle is your time.  |

When I returned my sets I also talked to a woman at customer service and told her about last year for penny and the fifty cent Kennedy. She told so that's why there are selling so fast this year. I can see already the prices on ebay for the cent, wow. |

People are going to be sorely disappointed when the cent shows up again in 2026.

The 2025 Proof Set has identical Mintage Limit and Product Limit figures: 420,002.
As of the October 8 USM Sales Report, 304,728 sets have sold. However, the product [ 25RG ] is currently not available for sale at the USM e-commerce site.
Just for grins, I signed up for the "remind me" text when the product becomes available again. . .a text that isn't likely to happen, in my opinion.

I am sure they are done with the standard proof sets this year. I have to believe they shifted focus and are getting ready for the huge slate next year.  |

Is it fairly common for the USM to announce Mintage and / or Product Limits only to cut off production / sales well short of the limits ?

The silver proof set was halted after QC issues. Maybe the clad set had the same issues and they quietly paused them as well. I just cannot imagine, after having no updates on the situation this late in the year, they would be able to resume them. I do, however, reserve the right to be completely wrong. |

@jbuck: They must have had problems with the 2025 American Liberty Silver Medal too. Mintage & Product Limit shown at the USM shopping site is 60,000.
Through 10/8/25, they sold 29,932, and it is "currently unavailable" and "it may be restocked later."

One has to wonder what is going on that they are not telling us.  Let us get the rumours started! Staff cutbacks? Expensive maintenance parts? Not enough silver to mint?  |

They're using a Ouija Board to determine Mintage Limits ? They are redefining the scope of the term "close enough for government work" ?
