In reply to Eddy r. Eddy, that was fast, but not unexpected. I have a feeling the US Mint might be receiving an inordinate amount of returns on the "Reagan Coin & Chronicles Set."

I think the sales might pick up after some of the silver eagle collectors notice how much a 2016 30th anniversary PCGS first strike dcam pr with a Ronald Reagan Chronicles Set label will sale for, and more if it’s signed by Mercanti. I think the next leg up in sales for the set may be from silver eagle collectors.

Seth,
Thanks for the tip on the NASCAR Medal. I will text my Grandson the photo from mint.ca. I’m sure he will love that. And that might be the key to get him started. And also the Red Book. I just wish he lived closer to us. He is about 470 miles away. But we do keep in touch by text and Facebook. And what he wants he gets. But that is the way it is for all four of my Grandkids, two boys and two girls. They all make me very happy and proud. And they tell me they feel very lucky to have me as a Grandpa but… I AM THE LUCKY ONE FOR SURE!!
And I think your nephews are lucky to have you as their Uncle!
Good luck to you and yours.

Cool that your grandson with mild autism has an interest in numbers. Maybe if you show him a coin Red Book with mintage numbers & grading numbers like MS-60 through 70 & the circulated grades from 1 to 59 basically, he might pick up numismatics as a life-long hobby too. The Royal Canadian Mint got exclusive rights to produce a 1-ounce .9999 fine silver medal with the NASCAR ™ logo in color. It is about US $35 if I remember right. They did a half-ounce one for the new Daytona raceway too. Just a suggestion, you could show him the medal photo at: mint.ca

Good luck & Happy Collecting to you & your grandkids!

That’s a great idea! I’m going to get the sets you mention for my younger Grandkids. But my second youngest really gets into NASCAR. He is 13 and can tell you the number of any driver, his name, the model of the car and on and on for each year going back maybe 4-5 years or maybe more. He has a mild form of autism. I say mild because nobody even knew till this year and the Dr. said it was not serious. That is why is into NASCAR. He actually has a thing with numbers. I now just have to turn his interest to numismatic numbers. I am so proud of him it’s unreal.

Thank you, Seth.

I also own two of the “2014 Coin Discovery Sets” that you mentioned. Nice little set for the price.

I understand exactly what you mean! I have four nephews (two in college & 2 in elementary school) & I try to buy them as much as I can. The 2 older ones get a gold coin each year & special sets like this one & the 2 younger ones get basic Proof & Mint sets & a Proof ASE coin each year & a commemorative clad half dollar or Young Collector’s Sets when they are offered. The Mint’s Coin Discovery Set from 2014 for beginners is a great gift for the kids at only $24.95 & is still available.

Happy collecting!

150,000 IS WAY TOO MUCH! But I will still get some to go with the others I have. I have four grandkids so I try to get four of everything if I can. Grandkids can get expensive.
