US Mint Price Increase Notice

It seems like everything everywhere has gone up at least 20% in the last couple of years so I'm not shocked. But this increase 9 days out is enough to prompt me to scale back from 3 to 1 of each. And to keep only one set updated going forward. As much as I enjoy them, they were expensive for a 0.859 troy oz coin to begin with.

Just calling it like I saw it. It was brutal, but it was honest. To be clear, brutal honesty is more productive than sparing feelings with lying.

Also, notice how I used the "approve" smiley before as I did above.

Reminds me of a "Moonlighting" episode where Herbert Viola says something along the lines of "to be brutally frank, and frankly, brutal..."

my understanding of that issue is fine. I also understand that $1 acquires less. there were other issues that factored into my decision for permanently bailing out of directly-from-the-mint purchases and still others that keep me bailed out. I won't enumerate them all here. I'm doing fine without buying anything directly from the mint. I'm not bitter about any of it anymore; I'm grateful.

with new price hikes looming, how much silver will you now be getting for $1?

I just got an email, almost a day later!

I noticed this on the list of price increases...

2019 American Liberty 2.5 Ounce Silver Medal
Current Price..............$175
Price Effective July 9.....$242.50

I feel pretty good about buying that one for $99.95 when it came out in 2019.

I'm cutting my order number for the Morgan and Peace dollars. Not ahppy, but need to spread the money over the new issues.

I was on the fence about canceling these. I went ahead and followed suit with everyone and did it.
I left the reverse Proofs on for the time.
I'm working on another set at the moment anyway that is going to put a dent in my wallet.
I was just wanting to keep up on these, but decided against it for now.
I also thinking about getting the gold flowing hair, but will have to wait to see what their price is going to be on it.

The email says to order now before the price hike by clicking the links. Well...... I clicked BOTH links for the Uncirculated Morgen and Peace dollars. Clicking the link takes you to a page you can't order from! The price on that page says TBD. Yet the email says they are currently $76......... going to $91.

I called the Mint and explained the email I received had a clickable link for those items (many other offerings were not clickable). The email was specific about ordering at today's price to avoid the price increase and to order using the links.

I explained I had a subscription to these items and asked if I could pay today to avoid the price hike knowing they wouldn't be shipped for over a week. She said "no".

My guess is someone at the Mint or website manager goofed on having clickable links on those 2 items. If I end up keeping my 3 pieces from each Dollar that'll cost me $90 extra! I need to decide whether keep 3 pieces in my subscription!!
