Just like what happened on the 2019 Native American Coin & Currency set offered earlier this year!

When I look at overall cost, the 5 proof clad ATB quarters are 15.95 as its own product. A single two dollar bill, I priced from the series 2013 sheet of 8 available. That would break down to 4.50 a bill. I see an additional 9.50 markup for the third youth themed set. I try not to factor shipping because some people have free shipping now, but obviously paid 17.85 to achieve free shipping. The mint also offers a free shipping code for one time use only “EARLYGIFT2019” valid through this Monday. The Rocketship had a greater appeal to a broader range of customers in my opinion and was a third of the price, albeit with different currency. I don’t know if the explore and discover set will sell out unless its available for years similar to 2014. I do believe this set will sell out with the lowest mintage of the 3 youth themed sets this year, especially including the fact that it has a $2 federal reserve note. I bought one yesterday and then two today, hoping for sequential serial numbers. I think it is a slightly expensive set but nonetheless a good novelty, collector item to complete the 2019 Youth collection.

Sad!
