I bought the set from the mint and had them graded! Mine all came back in my PF69 cameo condition. ( Shocker) On all of the coins that I have sent to NGC for grading everyone of them has came back in either MS69 condition or PF69 condition, never a MS70 or a PF70 specimen. I don’t see it fetching any big huge gains on this set in 10 years unless you carry the PF70’s.. They made to many sets, they should have only minted 10,000 and than you would see some real value down the road unless you were one of the lucky ones to get any of these specimens in in PF70 condition…

I know this is an old discussion, but I was just checking on the present prices on Ebay for this 3-Coin Set and they are going for around $50.00.

These are not doing as well as it may suggest, they are selling for less than mint issue price on the bay. Many mint sets are always popular from the get go then falter as time goes by. Even grading them as sets has little increase in value, the only value is the unique dimes, as they are silver and low mintage. So, some interest, but the day of the silver dime is over, and collecting is losing it’s luster. The Mint did the same gimmick this year releasing a special ASE minted in San Francisco in what was called the congratulations set, then they put it into a limited edition set later on in the year, 4th lowest mintage eagle, but the proof ASE is so ugly.

The US mint is opportunity to purchase a coin before some. each person makes a choice if they will or will not purchase each coin. investor or collector is there really a difference. They both decide if they want to purchase each coin. the mint doesn’t say you are on our mailing list and you have to buy this coin. to expect perfection you obviously have not read there disclaimer. collectors if you want perfection buy from a investor.

I certainly agree with Jonny’s posts. These topics need to be openly discussed so U.S. coin collectors can stop being ripped-off by the U.S. mint

Relating to being a collector v. investor comment above, why cannot one be both? With so many entities, such as financial investors, respected numismatists, the IRS (by offering IRAs with precious metals as the “money” invested), urging us daily to buy coins as a financial investment or hedge against the possible weakening or failure of the dollar, it seems only prudent to expect some coin purchases to be investments for the future. Others of course you might buy because the design etc., is pretty or something that appeals to you. Buying these is just shopping. Buying a Gold Eagle, however, or Carson City Morgan silver dollar, should be an investment unless you can spend over $500.00 dollars just to buy a small coin that must be kept in a safety deposit box to keep it safe.

The first or second post is right. TOO OFTEN the mint releases a commemorative coin. then releases it again with a “kicker” like the great reverse dime. PLEASE, MINT DIRECTORS, release all optons at the same time so those of us with litimed money can choose to buy the one with real value or the one we actually need r want. It seems that in March, 2016 the Mint will release the National parks coin but will also release a special three coin set AT THE SAME TIME. It’s about time the Mint caught on. ‘Nuff said.
