Quote:IF the San Fran mint closes, it affects much more than the S ASE, LESPS, and the Innovations Dollars - it will in effect stop all modern proof coins as well, Unless West Point will pick up the load there. I'm not following this logic. West Point and Philly have both produced proof coins, ASE and others. Denver I agree, to the best of my knowledge has only produced circulating coinage and Uncirculated finish coins, (without launching an investigation). |

yeah, I forgot to mention Philly with the West Point mint. they both West Point produces Proof now, Philly not as much, but what I meant is that if San Fran closes, both of them will have to pick up the extra load that San Fran will drop.

Hopefully they'll just pull back on the whole idea. How much the new Mint director will have to say about this, is true, would probably be negligible. It would be interesting to see which mint would pick this slack up. The 2 more likely would be West Point or Philly. Imagine the mint sets with a W or P mint mark. It's going to be an interesting year. |

Well Philly is more suited for proof production than the WP mint is. WP is currently producing collectables (NCLT) items, whereas Philly had in the past had produced a ton of business And Proof coins of every denomination. But lets hope we don't go there..  |

This just gives me hope the never completed Dalles, Oregon Mint finally gets its second chance to shine :)

Denver is not at all capable to produce proof coins, and historically has never done so Well, if you relocate the equipment to do so from San Francisco, I would wager they could. Manufacturing companies move production lines all the time. . . It will be an interesting development to follow. A lot more interesting than comic book character coins and medals. In the mean time, college football returns in full force this weekend.    |

I'm... less than pleased about potential contraction of Mint facilities when other things are expanding but I'll leave it at that.
That said... I have been chirping in other channels about trimming my modern US Mint purchases way down after next year. If SF goes away that might be the push to exit collecting modern products completely and work on / spend on classic commems instead.

While I will wait and See, The San Francisco mint Has some Footprints to follow in, They Were the Go To Proof Manufacturers .  The West Point, having done a Sweet job @ it, they Can do The Job, should they Need to. In My Opinion....  |

I do not believe anything the current administration says, so I will believe it when it happens. Until then, it is all humbug.  |

I will believe it when it happens That's typically what I believe as well. The fact they are pulling these products for subscription makes me think it's probably true. The Limited Edition set probably not as much of a concern as the S proof also being pulled from being available on a subscription. Unless the mint changed it's mind about offering subscriptions in a general sense. I still think the reasoning is they would rather sell products in clamshells, like they did with the Congrats set. |

If you know, Thanks It has already taken place. If you have a sub for this year, you get it, but after this year, it's over.  |

I was wondering if the Morgan and Peace Silver Dollar proof subscription information was going to change when they released today but they do say, at least for now, that the next release for the S Mint proofs will be in 2026.
So they seems to be just reorganizing what they will offer.
