The global silver shortage has driven demand for many of our bullion and numismatic products to record heights.

Who is kidding who on this?  I can find not other place, business, treasury, country or mint that is suffering a silver shortage.

I can do it for a good Pennsylvania coin auction. 

Good hunting and, if possible, give me a short summary of how it went.  Thanks.

They’re nuts. 

Harrisburg was just like an asylum during this Covid craze.  Some of the stuff the Woof and his 'dream team' came up with about destroyed our little town's economy.   

Yeak Governor Woof is still around.  

Maybe aziz would buy it.  

The Peace dollar mintage will be limited to 200,000 coins, with a household order limit of 10 coins in place during the first 24 hours.

The 2021 Morgan and Peace dollars, struck to recognize the 100th anniversary of the transition from the Morgan to Peace dollar series, will be offered at $85 per coin. 

First 24 minutes will be more like it.  So, for those of you who cannot afford the 'real' thing; good luck getting your Privy Coins.

Prepare to pay out the nose personally.

Aren't the people doing that now?  I mean $85.00 for $21.00 worth of Silver bullion.  Looks like a good profit to me.

For those who were "Screwed, Blued and Tatooed" by the US Mint.  They are on sale now and you can get a 'Privy Mark' of your choice on them too.

I predict I will have a Morgan in My Cousin Vinny's hands before the year is out.  If demand is less than underwhelming, I should be able to pick one up for $137.37, my lucky number.

10% of the mintage is provided to dealers. Now figure 17,500 coins divided up by hundreds of dealers and none likely received a giant allocation of them. 

Okay g, if you say so I believe it.  I guess, on second thought, we should not expect too much from the Mint.  What puzzles me is some of the EBay 'Flippers' aren't listing an amount on hand.  You know, where it says 2 sold 8 left.  

This is just one of some complaints on the Forum ATS:

Comment 1

A friend got an email at 2:43 today...the dreaded "Cancellation Summary"

"One or more items in your order USM0959XXXX has been cancelled. I you did not request a cancellation, it was cancelled because the item(s) are no longer in our inventory and are not available for backorder. We apologize for the inconvenience."

Comment 2

I have exactly the same problem.

In the PAYMENT METHODS section of the ORDER SUMMARY, is blank, no credit card info. That's why my credit card does not show pending transaction.

I called the mint and got through... the lady couldn’t or wouldn’t understand what I was saying so I’m trying again

Maybe she No Habla, eh?

Would have been simpler to sell one per person/household/delivery address, etc.

Absolutely, positively agree.  It is too bad that the US Mint personnel cannot think in terms like this.  

There are a lot of disappointed customers and that disappointment equates to money lost on the Mint's part.

However:  When it comes to the hobby world - For every action there is an opposite and unequal over reaction.

if it becomes a continuing series.

United States Mint officials are giving serious consideration to make the 2021 Morgan and 2021 Peace silver dollars the first coins of an ongoing annual series.

Mint Director David J. Ryder raised that possibility during a May 4 Microsoft Teams video conference with numismatic journalists.

The enabling legislation, the 1921 Silver Dollar Coin Anniversary Act, Public Law 116-286, grants the Mint authority to issue additional Morgan and Peace dollars dated 2022 and beyond as an ongoing series.

Ryder said, during the online meeting with numismatic journalists, that he favors the continuation of the series beyond just 2021. Finalization of such a decision will be determined, Ryder said, based on demand for the 2021 releases.

I can see doing this with the Peace Dollar but a 2023 Morgan Dollar????

Circulating Morgan dollars are an alternative to the 2021's

Just bought a 1921 Morgan PCGS MS 64 for $89.00 and free shipping.

when was the last time a US Mint product fell below its issue price? 

Old San Francisco Mint Silver Dollar.  In 2006 I paid $39.00 hoping within a year to flip it for big bucks.  $32.00 BIN on EBay now.

There is evidently an attempt to remove larger orders so more individuals can have a coin.

No, that's not what I read.  By larger order; what do you mean.  Most could only order 5 of each which was the Mint set limit.  Some were saying they had two coins cancelled.  I don't know; didn't get any.

Another 'newbie' - another coin.
