A perfect (continuing) example of the Mint’s lack of understanding (In regards to maintaining intrest in a collectable series). The quarter program should have taken a break after 10 long years & 50 states!

Blue –

You probably have an automatic “enrollment” for this coin series & the free S&H promo does not apply to “enrollment” orders.

What about free shipping on orders over $100? $154.90 was my statement for this one.

I agree gentlemen,
The series is sometimes rather boring due to the designs and I have always been one to say lighten up on the packaging! It takes up so much room.
Even the bullion sales have dwindled on these this year.
We have a long ways to go to finish up on these if you want the whole set. I almost bailed this spring, but I just put my order in for the last of this years.
I guess I’m in for the long haul.

Many like the “P” ones more than the bullion ones but the mark up by the mint makes the price much higher. So, if you are buying just for the silver the bullion ones likely are a better bet (also some of the bullion ones have fewer sold than the “P” ones). Currently you can buy some of the early “P” ones for much less than the issue price. As stated before, if I want to buy 5 oz of silver I would rather have these than 5 one oz eagles due to the small numbers struck. This is an expensive series so I only buy ones that appeal to me and buy both the “P” and bullion ones in those rare cases. Believe silver will be much higher in future so if one has the money this should be good long term.

I couldn’t agree more. I think I’m on my 4th shoebox already for the set. I’m starting to think interest on them will wane after the last release, just like with the state quarters. Maybe it’s time to bail out.

Mike,

I’m beginning to agree with you. I started collecting these a couple years after the series began. It was somewhat exciting searching out good deals on the older issues. But now that I can keep current from the mint, it has gotten a little boring. Also, storage on the whole set is going to be a little bit of an issue.

Buying these just to complete the set is getting boring. Aside from the few early winners like the volcanoes, does anyone see an upside on this set down the road if/when silver takes off again?
