US Mint Sales: More of the Same

Tom, I figured out what happened. When I enrolled the limits on several were higher than they are now. The Mint retroactively reduced some HOL’s and my quantities were decreased as a result of that. Also, my AWQ PDS rolls subscription was still showing the decrease to 1 from 2022’s Anna May Wong HOL reduction that the Mint did unilaterally because of heavy demand. I was able to increase that one back up to 3.

Major D, thanks for the verification of what took place. We are now within 3 days of the Ohio innovation coin release. Because of that you are supposedly no longer able to subscribe for the Ohio coin, but subscription is open for the next release – Louisiana – that is the picture that shows. According to data available there are 448 remaining of the 25 coin roll from Philadelphia, so it looks like on Monday there will be the mad dash for the remaining Ohio rolls. So what happens…if you subscribe now, it should be for Louisiana, so does the… Read more »

what you have for Ohio is misleading. It is a quirk in the mint’s system or something. your numbers indicate what shows under ‘current product’, which makes no sense because that implies only 110 P rolls for Ohio have been ‘bought’ or ‘subscribed’ to. (and we know Kaiser has subscribed for at least 200 – ha. The numbers you show for Louisiana are what show under subscription – which if you had looked a few days ago would have basically been the same thing when Ohio was still available under subscription. It would be nice if they fixed this. I’m… Read more »

we had discussed this earlier. for some reason if you loo under current product the numbers that show make no sense. the P rolls have shown at 7890 for quite awhile. only under subscription do you get an idea of what is available. e.g. the women’s quarters under enrollment eventually dropped to zero and then showed as sold out. so there is some accuracy out there (I think), and whether this is simply a glitch with the innovation series, I don’t know. I haven’t looked at the data close enough in regards to other coins.

Major D and Tom,
Many, many big thanks to both of you for all the research you have done and for all the facts you have produced here by way of explanation regarding the actual numbers that apply regarding the AI coins as concerns their original total mintage, their current subscription numbers and their remaining inventory. That being said, I’m sure my continuing problem with the width and breadth of these assorted calculations is that their apparent intricacies are more than a bit confusing to my essentially “words instead of numbers” oriented mind.

Do those numbers also account for those AWQ Sets allotted to the Early Purchase Program and Authorized Bulk Purchases, or are these AWQ Roll Sets not included in the alternative purchasing methods?

Sometimes, Tom, trying to decipher the Mint’s inexplicable calculations is nigh on too much for the human mind to endure.

Thank you, Antonio. Ever since I first read Dune I haven’t been able to get the concept of the “weirding way” out of my mind. It’s fitting that you should bring up the Quantum Realm in that its apparent properties suggest an elusiveness well deserving of the appellation “weird”, and there, I suppose, is as good a synchronistic point/line as any for the universes of scientific measurement and boundless imagination to cross each other’s non-existent barriers.

I am indeed grateful for and deeply moved by your extremely kind and thoughtful reply; thank you ever so much, Mike. And you are so right that at our age the notices of our peers going to meet their Maker are coming all too frequently and too close together at that. The reminders of mortality, clearly, are not so gradually becoming ever more inescapable. In regards to military funerals, my father had a magnificent one at Arlington National Cemetery in 1984 with all the extremely dignified pomp and circumstance we could possibly have hoped for. I was left with both… Read more »
