It's pretty frustrating that these just started shipping, yet the price has already dropped by $50, which makes no sense considering they're marked as "Unavailable."

If the price went up $50, we wouldn't be complaining, they wouldn't be raising the price on us, and we'd be happy as a clam. Roughly a week to ship isn't terrible. At least not on backorder with an August ship date (sound familiar?) |

They could drop the price down to $1 as they have no intention of selling any more and no one can buy it for $1. Did you every buy a scratch off lottery ticket with a $50,000 prize? And you scratch it off and you see $50,000 but not one of the winning numbers and get excited and say "I almost won $50K"? They could put $50,000 on all 6 chances as they NEVER had any intention of letting you win. |

I got mine today, and it's pretty interesting. Compared to the 2006 Burnished version, only someone familiar with the different finishes would notice the difference.   |

Glad you got yours Boba Debt, thanks for posting pics. It looks great. I don't see any defects. It looks like a reverse proof except the shiny areas aren't as shiny as a reverse proof in my opinion. I'm still waiting for mine.....hoping it ships soon and the billing issues I had don't hold things up. A side by side comparison to the 2006 reverse proof would be fun to see. Lighting makes a big difference but here's an ebay pic of a 2006. It's final mintage was 9,996 I think.  Edited by livingwater

Here is a side by side with the 2006 RP No need to compare the back since the designs are so different  |

Boba Debt, so you have both, nice! I don't see a lot of difference in the shine between the two.

GF - You won't be disappointed; it's an amazing coin, and the type 2 reverse really pops with this finish.
Living Water
The matte field of the 2026 is less granular, but the main difference lies in the devices and portraits.
The 2006 has a true proof finish, while the 2026 is better than a business strike but doesn't come close to the level of a proof.

So in hand the differences are obvious.
