I meant to post about this earlier but they are gone. I setup 2 subscriptions a month ago - long after the Mint said they were out of stock - and I got lucky. I guess someone canceled a couple subscriptions so I got extremely lucky. One set arrived on Friday and one on Saturday. These coins are gorgeous.
You can still put your name on a list and the Mint will notify you if they do another run - but no guarantees.
Go here and have a look - they may be expensive but they are GREAT!
It looks like some are on eBay, but I'd be very careful. The prices are well into the $300s there and will be much higher soon. If you can luck out and get one on the US Mint they are $245.
The Dime and the Half Dollar are really nice - no Roosevelt or JFK - just Liberty.
These are the only America 250 keepsakes I wanted this year, although I did order the uncirculated set as well, and eventually I'll try to get one of the Morgan or Liberty dollars with the cool "250 Liberty Bell" privy on it.
Wife was a little pissed I bought one set, let alone 2 - but it is worth it.
Some things are bought for speculation and some are bought for collecting. These things are the perfect collectable for 2026. I bought 2 so if I want I can sell one if the price is right, but the other will be passed down some day.
Yeah they are sold out. That's why I mentioned the list - they may do another short run, so you can sign up to be texted/emailed. That's how I got mine. They sold out the first run but I signed up and lucked out.

No issues here, hope your kids get them some day. As long as you are in the game, that’s all that matters.
Nope. Unavailable.

I'll wait a few years and buy at spot.
Interesting plan. By then the silver price should be much higher.
@ current spot of ~$70, this set is worth about $105, including the other coins at face. So I'm okay so long as spot stays below ~$180, give or take.
350 oz then.
