Who this is for
Coin Release Radar is built for U.S. coin and medal collectors who want to know what the U.S. Mint is doing without checking a catalog page every day: new-issue collectors tracking release dates and mintage caps, roll/bag collectors watching sell-out speed, Semiquincentennial (America's 250th) quarter and dollar completists, and numismatic-gold/platinum/silver buyers who want to know when the Mint's own pricing grid moves — without following spot gold themselves.
The voice: a librarian, not a salesperson
Every page and every email is concise, sourced, and free of hype. We report what a product's status is, what a figure was last week versus this week, and what the Mint's own pricing grid did — never a "buy now" or "this is a great investment" framing. If we don't have a real, cited source for something, we don't publish it.
How it's put together
Some of this is fully automated (Federal Register pricing notices, pulled live from a public government API). The rest — U.S. Mint release/sell-out/mintage data — is hand-curated every week from permitted secondary numismatic press, because usmint.gov itself blocks automated access outright. That's a real limitation and we say so plainly on the Sources & Coverage page rather than pretending otherwise.
Free vs. paid
Nobody can be charged today. A real card-checkout button is wired up below on both paid tiers, but there is no live Stripe account behind it yet — clicking it will tell you plainly that paid signup isn't open, not silently fail. What IS real right now: the free weekly page below, and a real email signup for the full Collector-tier digest content — free while billing isn't live (seeGet the weekly digest below).
