Vector Ze Valued Member United States 475 Posts	Posted 06/10/2026 11:12 pm Slated for release June 30th, if bought from the US Mint for the outrageously high ticket price of $124.50, these would be in-hand in a bit over three weeks. Why would someone pay even more than that, ordering on ebay Pre-Sale, and surely receiving later than they would with a "cheaper" purchase from the Mint? These are SOLD listings: Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10529 Posts	Posted 06/11/2026 12:51 am I think the mint sets are once again sold out for now - they aren't offering the subscriptions on their site.

Vector Ze Valued Member United States 475 Posts	Posted 06/11/2026 01:10 am OIC. I wasn't aware of that status. I'm holding onto my subscriptions and plan to offer some when I have them in hand. And I'd be surprised if they don't become available for straight purchase from the Mint in the not-too-distant future, for $124.50. I see they still have the 2021 Mint Set in stock, but at the new & improved price. Glad I got mine for only $25.25 each. I guess some people, seeing the subscription status, are just super eager to get their hands on them. How do you reckon the sellers will handle it if the release date is pushed back?
