I'm not sure if this matters but when you subscribe to the Morgan and Peace dollar Two-Coin Set it shows as Reverse Proofs on your subscription page This is odd because they have separate reverse proofs for less  Edited by Boba Debt 04/09/2026 1:41 pm

Same situation as a few other releases this year. On the subscription it says reverse proof. On this year's issue it does not. MAY be different this year.

It looks like they will be enhanced reverse proof sets, but the mint must have fired all but one in the IT department.

This is the one that is a bit of an unknown at the moment. I reactivated my subscription, just in case it's a hot item. Possibly this is what's called a diamond field finish. I'll be monitoring as it gets closer and hopefully will be further clarification. They are just describing it as "stunning finishes" if you read the info. I am getting the Enhanced Uncirculated finishes so far, plus this set.

That doesn't seem so extreme, when you consider it's only three times as much as a Cu-Ni Uncirculated Coin Set...which seems REALLY EXTRREME at $124.50, nearly 4X what last year's set cost ($33.25), without any silver to justify the increase. But ya, the US Mint prices are out of whack across the product line. I've reduced my subscriptions, excluding all PMs.

as for some of the descriptions we are seeing in our subscriptions, I think they are just recycling last years (because the mint is not only greedy, but lazy too)

The true unknown is what the finish is of these coins. They are being purposefully vague about this. That's what we need to realize in this moment.

Quote: as for some of the descriptions we are seeing in our subscriptions, I think they are just recycling last years (because the mint is not only greedy, but lazy too) Here's my observation, including an interesting one I just made. In regards to your statement, I started subscribing to several releases, I think as soon as I realized that it was probably smart to just start doing that. I'm unsure what year the mint started subscriptions. I know in the case of the Limited Edition Silver Proof Set and the Congratulations Set, that was offered as a subscription only a few years ago. My observation is that it seems like the artwork and in some cases the description, date to the year of when the subscription was set up. I have those 3 subs for the Congrats set, one shows the old white Congrats folder, 2 show the present white box with the blue ribbon, and that's the only explanation I have for the difference. One is old, two were paused and I reactivated one early LAST year (when they changed the OGP to the box, but was still a W proof), and the other I reactivated late last year when I heard it was going to be a Philly. I initially wanted to get 3 so I could hold 2 of them in the mint shipper, then got them and saw the shipping box on the "old white folders" were about the size of a kids shoe box. So paused 2 of them, again until last year. I also paused subs for a few Morgan and Peace issues from 2023 which I reactivated as well, the 2 coin set and Uncirculated issues. I also have the proof subs which remain paused. Here's the interesting thing I discovered today. I didn't do anything to the subs on the Limited Edition Silver Proof Set, even though I knew they dropped it, same for the S proof. I see the Mint did remove them from my subs now. Gone, not even paused. I knew I wouldn't get them, but left them there anyways, maybe thinking "just in case" either if those would return, I guess was my logic (or lack thereof).

I am really confused on the finishes this year. To me it reads like a two coin unc set, a reverse proof for both Morgan and Peace and enhanced proof for each. No regular proof? I am really turned off on the pricing and would maybe rather spend over $1000 on a nice classic Morgan.

It's been hashed over pretty well on this thread, I'll see if I can summarize the schedule. What is known for sure if that there are the 4 individual releases. Peace and Morgan reverse proof Peace and Morgan Enhanced Uncirculated That's 4 individual coins. No individual proof releases. I believe no Uncirculated finish, same situation as the ASE, the Enhanced Uncirculated is taking that place of the regular Uncirculated. The 2 coin is the one that's highly speculative in my mind. If you go to the subscription for this set and click on "description", it just says "stunning finishes". Well, what exactly does that mean? The YouTube channel Son of A Silver Stacker did have some info about this a few months back, which is all speculation, but was pretty curious. That's where the "diamond field finish" was discussed. Could be proof, could be something different. (For clarification, if "diamond field" sounds goofy, my interpretation of "diamond field" doesn't mean diamonds literally embedded in the coin, it is a planchet polishing effect where diamond dust or paste is used to polish the planchet before striking, it would look similar to a proof, but not exactly. Could be a new finish. Has been done before, but not by the US Mint. Could ALL be BS, I readily about that. I can find a link to the videos I'm discussing if you want).
