at home ...). About three minutes of that was walking to/from
the bedroom to get the security code for my credit card, which
I thought they stored, but apparently they don't.
At least I remembered to check the "I accept these terms ..."
box before clicking the "Confirm Order" button this time!!
Maybe by the time the Reagan set comes out next year I'll
remember to have the CC handy ...

Reportedly sold out at 3:57 PM Eastern time, so the 25,000 sets
were sold within four hours.
Seems odd that it took that long given the less-than-a-half-hour
sellouts of the Truman/Eisenhower sets with a mintage only
slightly lower at 17,000 ...
Oh, well, at least it looks like I'll be able to make a profit
on these sets, but only expect to break even or lose a little
bit on the Kennedy sets ...

IIRC, the original legislation indicated that the series stopped [or was
temporarily suspended, I ferget which] when they ran up to a living or
less-than-two-years deceased president. But in 2015 the Mint apparently
"reinterpreted" the legislation so that Reagan could be honored in 2016,
skipping over Carter entirely, or relegating him to a future year.
Reagan is the only one currently planned to have a Reverse Proof dollar
in a 2016 "Coin and Chronicles" set ... I don't know why Tricky Dick and
Oopsie Gerry are not being so honored ...

According to the Mint website, the 2016 Prezibux will be:

The law specified: "The issuance of coins under this subsection shall

terminate when each President has been so honored, subject to paragraph
(2)(E), and may not be resumed except by an Act of Congress."
Paragraph (2)(E) is: "No coin issued under this subsection may bear the
image of a living former or current President, or of any deceased former
President during the 2-year period following the date of the death of
that President."
The interpretation that the program would stop with the *first*
President for whom a coin would not be issued due to paragraph (2)(E)
was simply wrong. Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan are in line to have
coins issued in 2016. A coin will not be issued for Carter due to the
restriction to deceased Presidents.
