More Price Increases - Clad Products

Just got this email from the US Mint...


Dear Valued Customer,
The United States Mint works on a cost-recovery basis and our goal is to provide the best quality numismatic products while keeping prices as low as practicable. Unfortunately, due to rising material and labor costs, the United States Mint is raising prices on numismatic clad products.
Effective the morning of January 2, 2025, at 12:00 am ET, product prices for rolls, bags, boxes, and ornaments will increase by 5% and all other clad products will increase by 15%. Prices for all clad subscription products released after January 2, 2025, will be impacted by this change.
We encourage you to take this opportunity to order now prior to the price increase taking effect.

I may need to rethink some of my subscriptions. $36.25 to buy $25 worth of coins in a roll just feels ridiculous...

I'll likely keep my proof sets, but I'm on the fence about that too.

This is getting out of control.

No privy for me either... but that just means I can enjoy this beautiful medal instead of stressing about how much I can get for it.

Womp womp... just got an alert that there is a "weather delay" on my shipment. No idea when I may receive it now.

I bought versions from the Royal Mint and the US Mint. I definitely think it's a better strike on the US Mint medal.

That said. I'm expecting a letter from the US Mint in a few months, as-yet again- there's a typo on the COA, calling the medal a "coin" that is "legal tender".

It shipped today.... but I'm fairly certain it's only because I was calling and harassing daily-- and even got some deputy directors at the US Mint involved...

I tried ordering a proof set for my son and it is now backordered. I'm wondering if it'll stay that way until they fix the error.

On the flip side, I bought a proof set directly from the Philadelphia Mint gift shop (a block away from my office). Will I ever be able to get a corrected COA?

It is for a birthday. and I need time to get it framed and whatnot.

It was paid for as in I gave my credit card, though it hasn't been charged yet because they don't charge until they ship

Not sure if this is the right forum...

Just venting, if anything...

I ordered a sheet of uncut $2 bills from the US Mint's website several weeks ago. They've been stuck in processing. No one can answer anything about when, if ever, they'll ship-- I'm just constantly told "it's processing". They won't even let me just cancel the order because it's in processing status.

This is so frustrating!!!

Being "on the phone" got me out of a meeting I didn't want to go to....

They didn't need to know who I was calling

I have been charged for my proof dollar and the half is on backorder...

But I got an email from the Mint that my order can't be fulfilled.

I called and apparently they're sending out the wrong email-- instead of shipping emails they're sending out ones that say orders can't be fulfilled.

How do you check the current availability?

I used to check "data-avail" in the source code but that doesn't seem to work anymore...

I seem to be the opposite...

I was billed for the Peace proof on 8/5, but nothing for Morgan yet.

I'll be nervous until they're both actually in hand LOL

I have a set of uncut $1 bills from when I was a kid and visited the BEP in Washington, DC.

I'd like to buy sets for MY kids. Do we think the government will ever sell it again? It's been unavailable/coming soon for YEARS now.

The silver proof is no longer listed as backordered if you go to buy it, but it's still listed as backordered in my order status.

I'm starting to wonder if I will EVER see this coin!

My order from March is still "processing".

Sadly, the credit card I used to pay was stolen, so I'm sure I'll be dealing with all kinds of annoyances to get this coin. if I EVER get it.

Mine doesn't even say processing. It still says backorder. Has anyone who ordered the coin with the privy mark had it shipped yet?
