Mike:
I assume that since you have not updated this article with the “final” sales figures for the 10th anniversary set, that the remaining 10,000 sets will probably go back on sale again, when the price of platinum reaches a profit point for the mint ($1,100 - $1,200 per ounce?).
Stan, thanks for the reminder! It appears the final sales figure for the set will stand at 19,583.
I think it unlikely that the Mint would bring back the 2007 set for sale. I think any that remained were probably melted for new platinum coins.
However, the Mint did have their “last chance sale” late last year where they unexpectedly opened sales to old products they had kept on inventory shelves for years, so you never know. Although it is noteworthy that there were no older gold or platinum coins in the sale.
