Kaiser,

With Disney’s stock price and park attendance in free fall, I can’t think of anything better to do than raise the price of admission to their parks. I’m always amused listening to any MVP of a championship team stating he/she is going to Disneyland. Pretty soon they will be the only ones who can afford going there.

I used to go to Disneyland 3 times a year but it,like everything else, has had prices raised absurdly.

I think the price point the mint wants for its PM coins is actually decreasing the number of returns for such coins. Why? Because more folks are opting not to buy any in the first pace. I would’ve bought all the Morgan/Peace Dollars this year but for the fact that I’m not a slave to the mints cost demands. Besides, I have a large stash of Ag and Au coins already and with the values for both metals increasing daily, I’m still a happy camper. I’m hearing more people talk about Au hitting $3k/oz. this year. Those ounce Au coins are going to be really salty!

Quick question Kaiser. I haven’t been to either location in nearly 20 years myself. How about you?

Agreed. Make ’em special. But I’ve been harping on “nothing special” mint packaging (particularly for precious metal coins) for years to no avail. Yeah, yeah, “cost-saving measures” on packaging containing a $3,000+ coin. That makes sense <eyes roll as I shake my head>.

You’re welcome Kaiser and make sure to get the US Mint to issue a refund of your shipping charges for sure! Hope you receive a quality or at least decent set! Everything in life is so expensive and grocery prices seem to still be increasing, so every little bit helps or hurts. No reason to throw it away on bogus USM shipping charges IMO.

A no go on Denver John Q and I ordered 2, 2024 Uncirculated Sets on subscription to take advantage of free shipping. 2024 D nickel rolls going for $75-85/roll currently. 2024 D nickel in a MS68 would be a money maker for sure! $200+ coin now and more in the future or so it would seem. Looks like the Mint is probably done minting circulating 2024 Nickels? Not rare per say, however a fairly low mintage from a historical standpoint.

I wholeheartedly agree ECG both before and now when you said above you’d: “mentioned earlier, it’s nice to see a coin without the initials of artists cluttering up the coin. If you need them, make the initials very small and blend into the art.”

Kaiser,

Sorry, you’re correct; I’m the one who made the mistake. I knew that some of the proof sets were returned for quality; my pea-brain confused the two. Human memory is extremely elastic at times!
