Gary –

You are right about the Lincoln cent being very popular from the 2017-S EU set! In PCGS EU-70 I have seen them sell for $80 for the cent alone Amazing! Lincoln cent & Kennedy half dollar collectors are the most intense collectors of modern coins under $1 denomination for sure.

Happy collecting Gary!

Seth the mint announced 139.95 yesterday on their product schedule. I see the mint only sold 1390 sets of the 10 coin 2017s enhanced set , that leaves roughly 33,000 sets to go for a sellout & CSN mike mezack is selling Lincoln pennies graded sp70 for 49.95 , on ebay there going between 40 & 50 bucks each and there selling too! This is a sleeper set if i ever saw one.

Gary –

The annual Limited Edition Silver Proof Set has been issued since 2012 (except none made in 2015) & have always had a mintage limit of 50,000 sets. They have never sold out all 50,000 sets in any of those years due to the high price & the fact that all the coins in the sets were available for sale separately (you are basically paying about a $35 premium for the fancy packaging). The 2012 set was issued at $149.95 & the rest at $139.95. This year’s set hasn’t been priced yet. Last year’s set also did not have a large square inner hard plastic holder to keep the coins in place which was disappointing.
