If the US mint allows average Joe first access to coins they will lose big dealer profits. The 2016 100th anniversary dime sold out in minutes to dealers due to high limit. The limit on the quarter and half was low so Joe got his and it was a bust for dealers and the US mint as neither sold out. Joe’s money is small. Dealers money is big. Guess who wins this battle!.

Billele – one other observation –

The 1/4 AGE quickly went to a Sold Out status after it went CU;
The TR P puck immeditately went to Sold Out status this go around when the last on the website (in fulfilment) sold, which surprised me.

The Mercs and other have not gone to Sold Out status, why? When others are?

Something to think about..,

Frankly, I personally don’t believe the US Mint will walk away from over $2 million in revenue with ready made Mercs, APEs, & ALS on the shelf.., besides, they need the revenue in this fiscal year (’17) and will need it bad with the crappy High Relief design that will flounder and as well the majority of the AtB puck designs that come up grossly short (sans the Jolly Rodgers, aka Trump Rally coin in FY’18) .., hence they’ll need the revenue.

I’m not trying to convince you one way or the other, though plan accordingly and show up with a plan.., Good Luck I hope we’re both pleasantly surprised next week.

Free shipping ends on the 11th, right? Why not extend it to the 18th, it’s not like the mint has any other high demand releases for the remainder of the year.., it’s asinine not to extend Free Shipping through the 18th.., unless…

you plan to release the remaining Mercs, APEs, & ALS medals either on the 13th.., or the 15th of December. That’s what I’m planning to, they’ll hit most likely on either of those two dates, or not at all.

I’m planning on pulling the trigger on 10 come the 13th.., Time Will Tell.

Mike Unser,
Any information about the mints intentions with the approx 8000 2016 W Gold Mercury Dimes?
Seems that the Mint would make a statement about these coins one way or another. It’s a shame that they have these and people would like to buy them but nothing is said to the public. Also it’s a shame that the mint forces individuals to buy from dealers or flippers if they don’t make these coins available,to individuals.
Your thoughts please.
