Jim : These big wigs are too busy traveling the country introducing presidental dollars and National Park quarters to care whats going on at the mint.

It’s not politics here, it’s all coming from deputy director don’t-know-anything can’t-manage-anything Peterson. The mint has gone to pot since he’s been running things.

US Mint price for this set is higher than I had expected, but all prices are high and prices increase each week when going to any store! What liberals do we have to thank for that? Maybe the US Mint is trying to reduce the national debt while liberals increase it.

All right all right !! After all the griping I did I ordered a set @ 12:14 today. Mint webpage is tallying the mintage right on that page …… If it gets too high I can cancel. 🙂 pretty cool.

I remember the Mint selling 100,000 25th sets in 5 1/2 hours. Should be amusing to watch for a month……. Just checked Mint web page “NO LIMITS” WOW !!(You wanna buy 1,000/ you can buy 1,000) I will be surprised if you hear of any mintage numbers before July 6.

Prices are really high, so I don’t think any of you should buy any. That way the ones I buy will be rare. I think the higher price will keep the mintage down. Maybe the fact they are available for a month will keep the flippers from buying a lot as well. On the positive side, we all know how long we have to order some and can sit back and see what happens before buying.

Listen to you people. All this hoopla combined with the Mint’s limited window of production can only depress sales and drop this issue’s mintage to all-time lows. I see “sale” prices of $299 for the MS70 certified set (watch your inbox for offers from local “mints”), which will drive the future existence of “unbroken” sets in original U.S. Mint packaging into scarce territory. I suspect when it all pans out, those who squirrel away these coins in their original packaging will see these scarce ungraded coins go into the stratosphere.

This one has to be killing the Professional Grading Companies; how are they going to charge extra for “first strikes” and “early releases” if they are only going to be sold during a 30 day window.

Shop till you drop Ed A !! …. $150 + shiping for this set is VERY high, But I do like the 2 coin holder it comes in. Maybe I can pick one up for under $15 after the Professional grading frenzy is over. I remember the E-Bay nuts having pre sales of the 25th Anniversery sets.LOL !!
