How or where do I go to order the Four Coin Set from my Phone ?

Jack

They aren’t available until the end of October. The sight should be functional by then.

Charles K. Miller

It’s pretty clear to me that the 9/27-10/1 suspension was simply a buffer period, after which the Mint raised bullion prices across the board.
