I was really hoping to buy one of the commemorative coins. I worked at the McAuliffe Shepard Discovery Center this summer, and as someone who lives in NH and am inspired by her, it was something that was really important that I get. Well, I got some money for Christmas so figured now would be a good chance to get it. Well I’m not quite sure what to do. It says they’re out of stock, but also that they’re going away in their entirety tomorrow at midnight. What are the chances they go back in stock before then? Did I miss out completely? Realistically should’ve ordered way sooner, but it became more viable after Christmas for several reasons.

That’s unfortunate. Probably our of stock for good at this point. Sorry.
There are of course other spots to order them (that is just the first store I found on Google, and I have no experience with them). I would assume they would be more expensive now that it’s no longer available directly from the mint.
Fair enough. I figured as such. Tbh my bad, I should’ve been more proactive. Just wanted to wait until I had a little bit more money on hand in case anything came up. It’s good to know theres still some available, even if the markup is annoying.
Since they were only authorized to be minted in 2021, it seems unlikely that they will be restocked.
It appears that approximately 70k were sold, so FIRST made $700k.
You could try giving them a call. It may be that whomever they have on the phone doesn’t know anything more than the web site shows, but it can’t hurt to ask.
You have another chance to get one in the 2022 Mentor Raffle: 2022 Mentoring Month Raffle for FIRST Mentors and Coaches Survey
