June just got even more expensive. Just checked the mint site and shows FIFA World Cup coins releasing two days from now (June 4th), yes, on the same day as the 1916 Mercury dime issues. My wallet is trembling. |

Howell are you going for one or both? (Merc set and FIFA) Just checked the FIFA gold coin and in the description, it reads this Quote:
For prompt order delivery, ensure credit card used for payment will not expire prior to the shipping date Heck does anyone know when that might be? says @ 2 weeks later we'll see about that.....my bag of dimes are still on backorder from 4/17......  and who knows when they plan on shipping out the American Eagle 2026 One Ounce Gold Enhanced Uncirculated Coin .....  just saying, very frustraightting with the Mint this year.  edited: WOW 8 items going on sale at once, Edited by Greasy Fingers

I will try for both, but will attempt to get the Merc dime first as I can see that selling out. I don't think the World Cup coins are going to sellout..........ever.

As much as it physically pains me, I will be preordering the uncirculated silver dollar and uncirculated half dollar for my modern type sets. The price of the silver dollar is stupid, but that's to be expected. I'm not a fan of FIFA as an organization, either. If there's any bright side, it's that the clad half dollar prices only went up $7 compared to $80 for the silver dollar.  |

Going to set you back $1,325, or $5,300 an ounce. There was a time, not too long ago, that was cheap gold.

I bounced around in the waiting room shortly after noon, but I placed my preorder for the uncirculated half and uncirculated dollar. I don't like the $230 price tag for the two coins, but waiting for the secondary market is likely a worse idea. It's difficult to find the 2024 and 2025 commemoratives, and when you do, be prepared to pay up. I'm still looking for the uncirculated Harriet Tubman half.

In 2024 I picked up a Tubman UNC Half and UNC dollar and purchased the Greatest Generation Dollar in UNC and Proof all from USM.
In 2025 I opted for and UNC half and UNC Dollar of the USMC 250th Anny Commems via the USM.
I think my modern Commemoratives collecting will likely end there as pricing for the 2026 commems along with the subject matter are unappealing.

The pricing is doing some real damage to the collectors.  |
