That is an interesting question and I would be curious to what others think since I might want to order both silver products.
I already have a spare base metal 2020 Mayflower coin to pair with the reverse proof metal, so that is the one that I am going to try to buy first since it is the one that I really want.
If successful, I might try for the silver coin and medal set.
What do others think of this plan?

All I am going for is the silver set. Not sure I'll spend too much time in the US Mint website fray/disaster given the 4-product release and the low mintage but that's my initial thought.

The only logical plan is to go for the lowest mintage item you want first working your way up to highest mintage.

If I cannot get the pair, do I really want the medal?  |

I was going to post in the original topic: http://goccf.com/t/386398But it seems like it is locked, (but no lock icon on it) If a Mod want to combine the old one to this, then so be it. Anyway, When the 400th anniversary proof coins were released back in 2020, I wanted to get these coins/medals, but I was not going to fight the masses and the crappy mint web site (at that time) for them. I'm not sure what they went for back then, But I found a 2 coin silver set and the reverse proof medal and bought them. I have the reverse proof in hand now and currently waiting for the 2 coin set (should be here tomorrow). My family came ashore from the Mayflower's maiden voyage (My Uncle had followed my family lineage by birth, death, and marriage certificates (this was done WAY before the internet was even thought of). It turns our that I'm directly related (by blood relation) to James Chilton. I'm a member of the 'descendants of mayflower society'  So I paid $75.00 for the reverse proof and $150.00 for the 2 coin set. Here is the reverse proof:    Edited by Dearborn

Dearborn, I apologize IF You mentioned before Your Family's Lineage,( poor memory ). WOW That's Awesome, I also appreciate Your Military Service, Awesome Story, Thanks for Sharing...... PS, These 400th Anniversary sets/medals are a Must Have for My Collection.......  Edited, I think about what the Maiden Voyage on the Mayflower was like for the Pioneers Once Landed. Everything was Bring what You know and do and Share with and communicate with the Then Natives. Life was I'm sure, a difficult journey, Tough People !!!!! Edited by Morgans Dad
