The United States Mint on Wednesday, October 5, added a new last chance products page to its online store entitled "Last Opportunity."
The last chance products includes a variety of 2010, 2011 and even a couple of 2009-dated offerings like proof and mint sets, quarter rolls, dollar rolls, and commemorative coins that celebrate the establishment of the U.S. Army and the Medal of Honor.
It is not the first time the United States Mint has used this method of promotion. Last chance reminders have been common at the end of the year and occasionally mid-year when newer products make their debut and replace the soon-to-be retired ones.
The last chance products listed below will cease to be sold by the Mint at the published dates and times or when they sell out, whichever comes first. The posted 7-day return policy limits returns to damaged items, which is slightly different than the normal return policy that allows a return for any reason.
The list of last chance products is long. It goes as follows:
