In reply to Sean.

Well, frankly, since Cali can’t keep his damn mouth shut, whom, oh by the way, doesn’t actually buy coins…

I, an east coaster not far from the USM HQ, would be quite content if the USM fulfillment center’s inventory software system went to a random time generator, and just reset, randomly, at any given time, every day of the week..,

How about them apples?

The USM is ALL ABOUT fair and equitable distribution of its products AFTER-ALL….

In reply to John Q. Coinage. Yeah, I don't know about the rest of ya who live out here on the West coast, but I really despise the way the Mint plays the partiality game all the time by favoring east coast residents with EST release times, forcing us West coast people to get up at the Crack of dawn to compete for the new releases when they become available! I wonder how the people on the east coast would feel if the mint started showing West coast partiality by forcing easterners to stay up 3 hours later at night?

In reply to CaliSkier. The only other option would be joining the mints subscription club. That is the ONLY way everyone that I know, was able to order the silver and/or mint sets without having to wait in the queue. I lucked out only because I had an in with my friend who’s been a subscription customer for years now. He ordered it and I just re-paid him

In reply to Antonio. I’m still waiting to find some dimes. I found one nickel. Every bank in my area says they have nothing.

I have been trying to log in to the Mint website for the last three days. They have the Cloudflare wait room active for some reason. Every time I try to get in, it puts me in the wait room. I try both browsers, Chrome and Edge and its the same including the App. Anyone having this issues? I’m thinking that perhaps they are working with the website but if that is the case they should have posted some kind of notice.

Considering how few 2026-dated coins I’ve seen so far this year, Congress I think really messed up how they should’ve been minted. Weren’t the Bicentennial coins authorized for production for 1.5 to 2 years? If I remember correctly (probably don’t), I’ve been under the impression they were minted from July 1, 1975 to either December 31, 1976 (or was it June 30, 1977?) so plenty not only got made, but plenty would be available for the public by the time July 4, 1976 actually rolled around

These coins probably should’ve had a similar authorization. I’ve seen a few 2026 nickels, I just got my second 2026 dime, and while the quarters have proven more abundant, it was really because my area clearly received a shipment of them because I’ve seen rolls of the Mayflower and Revolution quarters in the tills I put out each day. I’m not even going to concern myself with the halves despite their mintages because it’s been years since I was last paid with one.

In reply to Mike. Like believing these Qs are "circulating" and privy was widely disbursed, in fact it was very widely, both North and South Carolina....
