@Rick looks like there has been a lot more activity on that thread on CU. I will have to play catchup. When I saw the picture of the reverse I recieved I was thinking “darn”, but when I looked closer I saw half of the “P”. Like I said I didn’t want to bother the Olympic medalist any more than I already.

I had ordered one of each, but the Mint had me down for three of each. I may return four to the mint or try to sell them at a profit, if any.

There needs to be a Dolly Parton gold coin, for sure.

Kenny Rogers was an underrated singer and those Gibb Brothers knew their way around a hit song.

Check out the trio on this one:

Thanks, Cali. Greatly appreciate the additional details. Between the higher tiers and the potential for additional inventory, I’d like to think our odds are improving for tomorrow’s 26BM4 release – or the Friday Fire Sale. That said, definitely frustrated / disappointed that the ABPP swallowed up their 40% allotment of the APdE. 03 September is going to be a Battle Royale for us common folk.

Callen, yes the 1,781 represents what the ABPP members purchased out of their 3,750 allocation. Their window closed on 8/17 as per the following 26BM4AB stipulation: “The earliest order date is August 14, 2026, and orders must be received by August 17, 2026, at 3 p.m. ET”. They left 1,969 on the table which may or may not be combined with the 11,044 currently showing in inventory?

The 1,969 could be zeroed out and combined with the general public’s drop day amount, offered up the following day when the HHL is lifted, or simply not accounted for by either of the aforementioned, leaving us with a hypothetical production run or what Rich calls an authorized mintage of 12,825.

However, the Mint/Director Hollis has been keen on maximizing the Mintage and or Production Limits, as well as profits and I think we’ll see the 1,969 somehow finding their way into the hands of collectors? If the 1,969 are offered up in some fashion, that would give us a total of 14,794 out of 15,000. PS Sales to the ABPP members have an item number ending in “AB” and are reported on the sales reports under the non “AB” item number. Typically the ABPP sales occur around 10-13 days prior to the general public’s launch/drop day, with p/u scheduled about 7 days prior to official public launch.
