Wow, this really looks like the hurried work of an informed-at-the-last-second design that was totally not supposed to be the theme of the quarters for this year I expected it to be. And they’re locked in to the equally terrible artwork of the remaining designs instead of having a couple extra months to tweak because, for some reason, we have to have current year Proof/Mint sets available in January instead of later in the year or even early next year (if only to avoid another 1999 SBA dollar fiasco)

Plenty to go around out in the wyld. First up – Mayflower at 79.8 Million coins – so far…

Just gotta give it a few months, and your Taco Bell down the way will have lots of BU’s for the JQ Stash……..

In reply to Tom. @Tom, I had not thought about it but the 2026-P and 2026-D unc. pennies will be rarer than the 2026-S proof pennies.

In reply to Antonio. I would assume the Lincoln cent is the most collected set of any of the coins. so even though the production is to be 190,000 sets, which seems like a lot, but probably people will be begging for the cent and in high demand.

In reply to Foxman69on. @Foxman69on I think the US Mint seems to always have something for sale on drop day however the quantities are smaller and may sell out really fast. As an example the Congratulations Set subscription (NP) is sold out (CU) but the product is current showing at available to sell (ats) of 10,0000. The proof subscription (MY) is at 38,925 currently. Very early this morning I thought it was about 50,000. I think @Caliskier saw 100,000 last night.

In reply to Craig. @Craig. I read your CS post on the newer article. I also have a subscription of 2 for the Congrats Set. I will be pleasantly surprised if I get two. I think the US Mint can change things at the last minute, but your interaction with customer service is leaving me hopeful.

Dumb me…on the mint site when you bring up subscriptions, you assume they are for ’26 coins…? the little images show previous coins….anyhow, looks like the ship might have sailed…I did reserve the (P) congrats set, but never gave orher sets a thought…do you forsee a sellout on basic proof and unc sets before scheduled release?
