4.20.26. Well I was wrong, they could have just renamed the old set but instead of creating a "new" set for Minor Arcana coins, they decided to create a "new" set just for the Major Arcana coins. So the "old" set has already won the "Best Presented" set (Major Arcana), so does this "new" set now become the "new" Best Presented set?
4.9.26: email from NGC Registry says this set will be renamed to Major Arcana with just the 22 cards and the Minor Arcana with 56 cards will be created "down the road."
3.20.26: Okay I'm not a fan of what I'm seeing in this "new" set. NGC added the Minor Arcana cards, which consists of 56 "new" Tarot cards. I sent NGC a request to make a separate set for the Minor Arcana cards. I won the Best Presented Set for 2023 which consisted of only the Major Arcana Cards. It's now confusing for anyone who just discovered this set and I end up the Award winner in this set forever, if I fill any or none of the "new" Tarot cards. The Major Arcana set needs to be closed and the Minor Arcana set opened.

Hi Sidney,
Thank you for reaching out.
The tarot series finished after the world coin set; it was the last of the 22 coins released as per the Major Arcana tarot deck.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the album, see Major Arcana (album).
"The Major Arcana in the Rider–Waite Tarot deck:
The Major Arcana are the named cards in a cartomantic tarot pack. There are usually 22 such cards in a standard 78-card pack, typically numbered from 0 to 21 (or 1 to 21, with the Fool being left unnumbered). Although the cards correspond to the trump cards of a pack used for playing tarot card games, the term 'Major Arcana' is rarely used by players and is typically associated exclusively with use for divination by occultists.
The Major Arcana are complemented by the Minor Arcana—the 56 unnamed cards of the tarot deck, which more directly correspond to the contemporary standard 52-card deck."
This series is now closed by the New Zealand Mint.
I came across these coins a year or so ago and thought they would be pretty interesting to collect because of their individuality and the content of their messages. "The Fool" coin, the first in the series, has certainly been a surprise as far as "value." From a New Zealand Mint price of $95 to an Ebay price as high as $3,500!! The mintage of 2,000 would seem to indicate that you could readily find one of these coins, at a reasonable price, but that is not the case as there have been few that I have seen being sold. There is now a new Tarot Card who moved into The Fool space and that is the Death Tarot Card. High price that I saw was $3,000, down now to around $300 or less!!.
2.8.23 - Changed photos from standard NGC Low Res (slab type) to the more colorful and full size photo using a different Nikon camera lens and some NGC High Res photos. I like the new look!!
2.3.24 - Tarot Card Set received NGC Registry Best Presented Set for 2023!! That announcement was quite a surprise!! Received 2023-S Morgan $1 Registry coin to go along with it. Added same as entry photo to set. New Zealand Mint will start the 2024 Tarot Card set on 7 March with the Tarot Card "The Devil." Time will tell if this or another Tarot Card is the next "Fool" or "Death" Tarot Card!!
3.6.24 - Checked email @ 4:15 PM and found email from New Zealand for first Tarot card of 2024 - The Devil, email came in at 4:01 PM. Clicked on the "buy" button and up came the message "sold out." What the ......!!! Checked ebay and found one for sale for $999 or best offer!! Here we go again!! Boom or Bust!!! Update: looks like bust, ebay other listings now down to as low as $249.
5.8.24 - The Tower sold out at the NZ Mint but Ebay was offering them for a little above Mint prices but nothing like what "The Fool or Devil" was initially going for.
7.10.24 - Was able to order The Star from NZ Mint with no issues. Got back the The Devil and the points for that at PF70 is almost double that for any other Tarot Card.
8.22.24 - Added The Tower and it has same point value as the Devil!
9.1.24 - The Moon is out and like the The Star is still available at the NZ Mint. So it's no news for either of these cards.
11.13.24 - Added The Moon & The Star, same point value. Received The Sun, which is the last one for 2024.
11.30.24 - The Sun is back from NGC and awaiting slot from them.
12.2.24 - The Sun has a slot. That makes 20 coins for this set so far. I think I have to give "The Fool" the top Tarot Card in the set, mainly because it's still has the highest dollar value.
1.8.25 - First Tarot Card of 2025 will be The Judgment coin, available 26 Feb.
4.7.25 - Both Judgement and the The World coins are here.
5.1.25 - Received the following email from Agoro concerning tariffs on their coin products:

I just just looked at some of the Agoro products for sell and most had the "CN" code. If you're a buyer this is going to be very expensive!!
