Bret,I hope you're able to get one. You can bet that I'm going to try! Quote:As someone who falls in to this same category as I do, I guess I'm a little surprised you're wouldn't have been subscribed to the Congrats set. Myself, I have (or have had) a sub to everything the mint has with an ASE in it that you could subscribe to: W proof, S proof, Uncirculated, Congrats set, LESPS, I think that covers it. I only collect the coins and do not care about the packaging variations. The W proof, Congrats set and LESPS typically contain the same ASE, so I only subscribe to the W proof. There's nothing wrong with others collecting the same coin in different packaging, but it just doesn't appeal to me. Quote:
The 2 sets are unique in that due the graded coin people, they need those settled in the shipper, so I don't know if I'm doing this "on speculation" that someone might want these some day? I could almost care less about 3rd party grading. I say almost because I did buy my 1995-W proof in a slab. To my eyes, it's perfect, but it was graded PR-69 for some reason. I couldn't find a 1995-W proof in its original packaging that didn't look terrible. Plus, I didn't want to buy the gold coins that came with them. Their special labels hold no value to me. Quote:
But if you haven't done so already, go ahead and subscribe to what you can if you already know you want these, why leave it to chance? You can pause the sub if you need to. I've already done so and will pause the subscription next year if necessary. |

Well I haven't seen anything yet so maybe it will be noon Eastern. Just shy of 5 short hours.

Sometimes they do these weird releases at 9:00 AM ET. I'm going to check then. If not then it will probably be noon.

Just placed an order for one! In and out in under a minute. I missed out on the initial release, so I was glad to get it. I received the initial processing email, but I'll feel better once I get the confirmation email. |

I checked at 6:30am EDT, 7:00, 7:30 and 8:00. Then I figured that it was going to be noon. I checked anyway when I got to work at 9:00 and they were available. I got one, but so much for my logic of being able to predict when the mint will have additional releases. Regardless, thanks to those who pointed me to today. My ASE collection shall remain complete! I received a text from the mint at 9:07am EDT that they're available. Edited by Bret

Then I saw VictoryHighway's email about 8 minutes ago and panicked.  All good though, order went through fine. No Cloudflare, Waiting Room, CAPTCHA, etc. This re-release must have snuck in under the radar. Quote:

I'm back in and you can still add to your bag, even though the main 2026 All Products catalog page says "Not Available".

I just purchased another one 5 minutes ago. Had to wait 3 minutes, no problems. I as well was checking from 7:30-8am EDT then stopped. Decided to check once more before going on with my day and thank goodness I did.
