US Mint Best Of The Mint 1804 Dollar Gold Coin And Silver Medal Set Available August 27, 2026

I was also able to see the St Gaudens high relief. It is very nice looking - the finish looked to be different from the 2009.

Soooooo...logged in promptly at 12 (EST, I'm in SoCal). Got in right away. Placed my order. Easy peasy (well aside from forgetting to check the I accept the terms box, and providing my security code. Confirmation email received at 12:19. Subsequent email received an hour later detailing that they could not process my order and to call number provided. Called number. On hold for an hour 10 minutes. Spoke to nice lady rep who guided me through. Said I had to provide CC # and transferred me to automated machine. Back to nice lady. Nice lady said it didn't work. Asked me if I happen to be on speakerphone. Yes, I'm old. She said that's problematic. Can I do it again, taking speakerphone off? Yes. Unable to disconnect speakerphone cuz I'm old and useless. She says hang up and I'll call you right back. I tell her, "sure." Still waiting for that call back almost 3 hours later.
I call back the mint number. On hold again, but this time "only for a half hour." Explain to new rep what's all transpired. She helps me out, and I go to automated line (without speakerphone) and input my card number. Rep says I'm confirmed (I've heard that before). I'm guessing we're on a FIFO (first in, first out) basis and now after paying for expedited delivery I'm now number 13,223 in line and will receive my coin mid-September when I'll be out of town (I'm a pessimist/realist). Well, my morning is shot. Can't imagine how this would have gone had I not been retired. (Hey kids can you be quiet for 3 hours while teacher is on the phone? good luck with that.)

And I still haven't received a confirmation email and my order is listed as "processing". Should I be worried?
