If the Mint hadn’t run out of Iowa dollars the sales would have totaled more.

Mike:
Innovation Iowa – The totals above indicate 8378 rolls sold, Mint indicates they are unavailable and a mintage limit of 7350
I suspect the sales list has D mint and P mint reversed

Chris,

Thanks for your assessment on the USM’s new pricing of the Silver and Clad products. I just checked again and the Congratulations Set 2026 with the 2026-P ASE proof is still priced at $175, the same as the 2025 and 2024 congratulations set.

With respect to the 2026 Congratulations Set, I think the Mint will ultimately enforce the Household Order Limit of 1 on all customer subscription orders, including the early ones made when the original HOL was 3. But note, about a week ago Craig called USM customer service and was told that the Mint will honor the prior subscription orders of 2 and 3 sets per household. Only time will tell…

Just woke up to discover the new pricing on the mint website. Outrageous. They even increase the prices on non-precious metal items. The ASE Proofs are now $173, which I can almost understand, but $60 for the 4 coin Am Inn Dollar reverse proof set at $60, up from $32.50. For what? Surprising, the Gold Eagles saw only modest increases compared to the silver coins. Oh yeah, that 2026-P ASE in the congratulations set is priced at $195. Bye, bye flippers!
