IT SEEMS TO ME I HAVE ORDERED THE PROOF SETS AND THE UNCIRCULATED SETS BY NOW. I CANNOT FIND WHEN THEY ARE TO COME OUT THIS YEAR.
I WOULD APPRECIATE KNOWING THE DUE DATES.
THANK YOU.

Not the mint’s choice. It’s stupid Congress that can’t remember from one year to the next what they authorized. Obviously not a coin collector in the lot of them.

At least the mint got a little creative within the law and is offering the Defenders of Freedom Set which most likely will include a stamp or two or an intaglio print made by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Too bad they aren’t doing something like that for the Star-Spangled Banner where they have a whole raft of stamps and images to use as well as the text of the song. Maybe something like that will turn up in the two coin set or something else not yet announced. They’ve got 100,000 gold and 500,000 silver coins to play with and it’s not like these coins sell anywhere near their limits normally.

Didn’t the Army just have a coin? Is it just me or is the Mint offering boring and overpriced?

Looks like I will spend my money elsewhere.
