The mint pulled this same trick on the 2005 or 2006 silver proof set. After sales closed, and there was a bit of a profit to be made in the secondary market, they reopened sales and flooded the market with them. Can’t trust these jerks.

I really don’t know why anyone is crying…they are not making more, just reselling, in fact am glad because it punches the flippers right in the gut. Now no one should pay a premium for what is available at the mint.

In reply to John C Wigginton III. These are simply reselling the ones that were already bought but returned. They "sold out" of the ones they made because they only made how many were purchased. If you want to return yours I am sure you still can. They'll just resell it too.

Silver @ about $15.50, And selling an ounce for $100.00.

In reply to Ken T.

I too am very disappointed with the reopening of sales! If they did not appeal to the public and sell out they should meltdown the remainder and use it for eagles or other silver coins with no controversy with the collectors that waited for sells to open, rush to purchase before selling out or timeline expiring!
I am really upset that what should have been a great addition to a collection and a investment gone sour! Trump understands investments and should have put his opinion into this decision to open sales again!
I bought my set on the first days of sales and now wish I could return them as they are worthless to me now! I do not know legal language, but I bet there is a legal case of fraud to the public by the USA Mint and government for allowing this to happen!!!!!

A sorry US Mint customer,
John

Again, the same old story.
The flippers bought these last February in hopes of doubling their money overnight. Once reality sets in, they return immediately.
It appears the US Mint is simply selling the returned merchandise. Most of the returns are by people who had no interest whatsoever in the coins.
As long as the final mintage does NOT exceed the numbers reported on February 25th, there should be no problem. It is probably more cost effective.
I doubt if the re-release of 1700 returned Coast Guard sets is going to cause the price to move one way or another.

No he would use the $ to payoff a concumbine or 2 or finance a Black Rhino Hunt!….or payment to trolls in Moscov…..IMHO We ALL will cry before he’s done & the USM is rudderless in direction & Congress & POTUS could care less….. he is a bidnessman/////

In reply to Chas Barber. Trump would have melted them all down and gave the money to Hillary to buy more crying towels.She could use them to go for long walks in the deep woods.

Another MAJOR phuckup & destruction of any semblance of honor @ the USM. HAs Trump taken over the USM 100% cause they are LIARS & CHEATS & FRAUDS, not saying he is, but appearances count. Why would I or anyone else ever buy any “limited” edition or a mint to order item, when the mint schmucks decide they made toomany or they sucked eggs & got rejected by stoned collectors even (buying that ugly, non ergonomic, totaly junk self-portrait WW1 slug….) The Mint is committing more suicide daily it seems…..

OH, What a rotten deal this is for anyone who bought these in the initial offering for their like of the series AND the hopes this was to be a good venture of an investment.
I did not buy these, but if I had I would be livid!

What a dirty trick the Mint has pulled here!
