Quote: Just like the lack of individual proof and silver proof 2021 ATB Quarters. Yeah, that one is going to sting for those who have not been buying the full sets to fill other holes. Quote:
I'm going to be happy with the $1 coin in whatever finishes they offer, and the C&C set. Who knows, maybe we'll get a special finish in that. Same. Just thankful we are getting it at all.

Because they're going to start the year with the old design and then start producing the new design sometime during the year. Look about half way down the 2021 product schedule and you'll see the three new ASE's set for summer releases. https://catalog.usmint.gov/product-schedule/2021/Edited by Bret

But they can't possibly tailor their offerings to every single collector, partocularly after a series has ended and something new/unexpected comes along. Yeah I totally agree with you, and given that 2020 has been, well, 2020, there's no way they could've produced all the various products that were normally released for the Pre$. That I understand. What doesn't make sense to me is why the Mint isn't releasing core products or standard issues in 2020/21, e.g. proof Bush dollars and the final proof/silver proof ATB Quarters. They're likely to appear in sets, but as jbuck noted, that forces collectors to buy expensive sets (or look to the secondary market) to get one or two coins that have previously always been released separately. Now to play devil's advocate, the issue could be that we're talking about single coins (2020 Bush dollar and 2021 Tuskegee quarter). But the Mint currently offers single proof coins for the Innovation dollars, and in the past has offered P&D uncirculated sets (e.g. 1999 SBA$). And any offerings of individual proof coins (or a P&D Bush set) are likely to be popular because collectors need them to complete their sets. I just feel like the Mint is leaving behind the small collector, or at least making it hard for him or her. And up until this year I was always quick to defend the Mint, but with all the price increases, intentional rarities, and now these issues, it's gotten hard to do so.

The 2018 proof innovation dollar was issued by itself in the full size proof set lens! The Bush proof could look the same. Also, easy to pair the Tuskegee and Crossing Delaware quarters into two coin clad and silver proof sets. The limited access to the P&D Bush dollars I can forgive since the NIFC business strike coins are generally relegated to bags, rolls, and the full uncirculated sets.

I'm thinking the ASE RP 2 coin set is the new design. With the summer timing and one each from S and W mint it would make sense.

I was thinking one of each design, instead of two mints.

I suppose it's still possible that the Mint will release something like this, given that they add new products to the schedule throughout the year. I'd be on the lookout for some type of special product commemorating the new quarter design. Quote:

I'm not necessarily happy about it, but I can understand it. I would have been more forgiving if they included the Bush coins in the 2020 Mint Set, which frankly they should have considering it wasn't released until the end of the year.

It was close, but I think if they really wanted to include the P&D Bush dollars they could have. Of course, they would have tacked on another four or five dollars to the cost.

I think the product schedule for the ASE RP set lists it as 'Multi (S)(W)'.

Doesn't HR1923/S4730 the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 replace the Washington crossing the Delaware reverse with a multi-year program with reverses that are emblematic of the accomplishments and contributions of a prominent woman? I think that both the House and Senate have passed this (House may need to approve a Senate amendment?) and it should be going to the President for signature pretty soon.

Interesting. It would not take effect until 2022, so I would have to assume the CTD quarter would be a one year (2021) issue.  |
