I started getting from the mint starting about 3-4 years ago. Last year I dropped the sub. Then of course it was a hot item, can't remember, they decided they were bad or something? So they were worth a bit, but I just said "meh". This year I did resume the sub, thinking it'll be my real Semiquincentennial purchase. I know a lot of the stuff I get this year will have the dual date and privy, but to me that's just normal ASE purchases. The truly special purchase for me will be the EU Gold Eagle |

Meh. I used to buy Silver Proof Sets, before they went nuts with the price tag.
I'm out.

We all know the U S Mint's have lost their minds when it comes to Products that are unexplainably over-priced, IE, annual sets etc. I am going to Re-instate my subscriptions to the Silver Proof Set for 2026, Looks promising,  All Except the price,  |

But, 2026 is probably the last year I'll pay THEIR price. A fond (overpriced) farewell. Aside from an unexpected price restructuring, I'm likely finished with buying US Mint products after this SemiQ year. Edited by Vector Ze

I've been doing a bit of this, going back to dormant subs from 2023 on the Peace/Morgan issues for example, and I guess one of my Congrats set subs. I saw the Congrats was going to be the special issue, at least this year. I had 2 active and forgot I had one paused. At the point I noticed the sold out sub status, I tried to resume that paused sub, and was surprised when it actually went back to active. On the Peace/Morgans, I also resumed my 2023 Uncirculated subs (since this year that's the EU) and the 2 coin set, (since we don't really know what that's going to be right now). I'd recommend never cancelling a sub. Just pause it. |

I'm getting 1, maybe 2. They'll probably be the last ones SF mints plus the high price means it'll most likely be a key date.
