Thanks @Rich.

@Rick, I also wonder about retail drop off locations too. Any way this was new to me. That coin was more of a high value item compared to what I usually buy.

Here is how the 26BM2 HHL compares to the 26BM1 HHL:
United States Mint Releases Best of the Mint 1916 Mercury Dime Gold Coin and Silver Medal SetWASHINGTON, May 28, 2026 — The United States Mint (Mint) will release the Best of the Mint 1916 Mercury Dime Gold Coin and Silver Medal Set—the first of five numismatic gold coin and companion silver medal sets celebrating the Mint’s special journey through history—on June 4, 2026, at noon EDT. Orders are limited to one set per household for 24 hours, beginning from the on-sale release date and time.

Yes, bad apples, whether in the PO/UPS/FedEx warehouse, or in the delivery truck will know exactly what’s inside that box if it’s been chipped with NFC, ie: Gold Shield w/PCGS…

David Lawrence Rare Coins (DLRC), just the other day sent my Kennedy to me wrapped in foil.

For the last year I’ve been sending out the Gold Shield slabs wrapped in a nice foil pouch that’s sealed tight with a heat “impulse sealer” gadget fwiw…

@Rich, that’s quite the prolonged HHL duration. I forgot what the original HHL was.

I saw several dealer selling 2026 silver proof sets and unc. mint sets. The unc. sets were typically unmarked. The SPS tended to go for about $345.

Tough call 4+ AGE ouncers plus….or a Bell, will,so,some pay 2x, 3x issue for 5he Bells who knows….or ten 0z of platinum

I got no “in” and pulling that many, if true, is clearly a failure on several levels. NO WAY is looking or searching wrong… but this is like a Mint tales from the crypt….Would You think pulling what 40% privy’s from a box, or a roll, is ok..normal…RANDOM….if so why or how! Are we being lied to by the leaders of the mint….heaven forbid! But, the whole privy thing is a red herring, no Mayflowers yet even….no dimes, halves….nickels!
…..gheesh dude it is most likely some kind of fix…like that pallet of Au mistakenly vaporized, or those 400+ Enhanced Rev ASE dumped with NO (written USM policy says: on special items 14: days to ensure a wide and fair distribution… nevertheless @730eastern A full drop, despite no doubt thousands asked to remind me..or that recent next day Enhanced AGE “next day! drop”, what 3k at AM ‘surprise drop’ and ALL sold in seconds …how does THAT happen? …they have cancelled orders and have done so, more than 1x, but someone snagging, likely & apparently ALL EUASE$ was cool, that is what was reported….kind of a pound sand situation For many desiring the coin & asking to be reminded, etc… on an issue hat obviously call
ed for the HHL @1 to remain for a bit…amd is t a 730AM EDT drop less than 24h from the day before drop AT NINE AM!,, odd

ThaNks, Cag
Forgot about spot market being open for the holiday.
