In reply to Dazed and Coinfused. There are two Proof sets. The silver proof set which contains silver versions of the dime, quarter, and half and the clad proof set which contains the clad versions of those coins. I wish the Mint would produce the silver proof set with only the silver coins instead of getting duplicates of the non silver coins when buying both.

In reply to Domenic Vaiasicca. What is a proof clad set? You just mean the set with all the quarters and dime and nickel and Sacagawea and Kennedy in plastic? Or is it like a special coating. Like all coins after 1964 they weren't silver but considered clad.

In reply to gman1964. Same for me. I only buy the Mint sets necessary to extend my existing collection of coins.

In reply to Rich. I miss those 2022 proof S Morgan and Peace dollars. What could have been.

In reply to Dazed and Coinfused. My silver proof AWQ is soon to be sent out. At $80 a set though, ouch. Maybe it'll gain value in the after market. I'm only buying it because I collect coins. It's what I do.

In reply to East Coast Guru. EC Guru, I think the Uncirculated finish on the 2023 coins will be the same as the 2021 coins, i.e., a burnished, matte finish. Agree the best play could be the Reverse Proof 2-Coin Set and that the Proof mintage limits are too high, especially compared to the 2021 Morgan (product limit = 175,000) and 2021 Peace (product limit = 200,000) Dollars.

In reply to East Coast Guru.

By the way, something I was wondering about. Mintage limits are as follows:
400,000 for both proofs.. 25 order limit
275,000 for both UNC’s…25 order limit
250,000 for the reverse proof set…5 order limit.
Although I don’t care for the reverse proofs that much, it seems the best purchase would be the two coin set. Lowest mintage and the US Mint is only allowing you to purchase 5. It could be a good play. Worst play are the proofs. Way too many. UNC’s mintage are reasonable. I wonder how much different they will be from the matte finish coins from 2021? UNC’s are first to come out on July 19. Proofs on September 13 and two coin set is November 14.

Another of the sets im passing on…including the full clad proof set….Im likely just gonna get the Silver proof set….even then im so angry at the price hikes….this year may only be Morgan and Peace Coins.

In reply to Rooster.

I think Tom implied its the other way around, that overall subscriptions are surprisingly high now that the HOL was increased to 25. For example, as of today (3/21/2023) at 7:07pm ET,

Morgan Dollar Uncirculated: mintage limit = 275,000; subscription product limit = 247,000; data-available = 39,517; percentage left via subscription = 13%

Morgan Dollar Proof: mintage limit = 400,000; subscription product limit = 360,000; data-available = 111,601; percentage left via subscription = 31%.

Note: “data-available” is now “availableCount”
