howell1018 Pillar of the Community United States 745 Posts	Posted Today 3H 27M ago Best of the Mint 1916 Gold/Silver Walking Liberty half Dollar/medal sale begins in two days (Thursday 8/6/26) and nothing but tumbleweeds on this forum. Is this a testament as to the popularity (or lack thereof) of this series? Well the dime and quarter haven't sold out, so I anticipate a similar fate for this even more costly release. Interest for the upcoming 1804 dollar on the 27th should be a lot more keen. Assuming a 30,000 producton limit for that release my guess is that it sells out---eventually. Of course buzz for the 3 Comic Art releases is already reaching fever pitch (sarcasm intended). Exciting numismatic times. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 26415 Posts	Posted Today 3H 14M ago I'm sure that the mint has some convoluted reasoning for why they felt the need to rehash rare coins from our past and comic book heroes this year in particular, but I really wish they had used this opportunity to issue more coins / medals celebrating our actual history.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19355 Posts	Posted Today 2H 38M ago Yeah, speaking for myself, availability of funds for numismatic adventures is quite limited at the moment. Report this Post to the Staff
hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7333 Posts	Posted Today 2H 11M ago This is old news! They released those exact coins in 2016. Couldn't they have picked other coins? I already have a 2016 gold Mercury dime, I don't need a 2026 gold Mercury dime that costs twice as much as my 2016.

howell1018 Pillar of the Community United States 745 Posts	Posted Today 1H 33M ago I might be wrong about this, but I seem to recollect that the subjects for this year's "Best of the Mint" coins were arrived at via a public poll. I remember being surprised at the results because I, as well, thought, "Didn't we just do this not that long ago?" The coin I'd really like to see reproduced is the 1915 $50 Pan-Pacific octagonal, but I've never seen anyone express a similar sentiment. How about a gold version of the 1955 doubled die? They could charge double the price of gold for that one! Report this Post to the Staff
