The sets will be limited to 50,000. That's why the cost. Of course that is all explained on the Mint's site at the link you provided - just click on More Info __________________ knowledge ..... share it Last edited by GDJMSP; 05-14-2004 at 10:32 PM.   05-17-2004, 01:46 PM   #3 (permalink) rbm86 Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Connecticut Posts: 520 It will be interesting to see how the secondary market plays out for the sets with the hand-made pouches. I can see why the cost up front is high (I hope the Native Americans who make these are getting a cut), but I am skeptical as to whether they will hold thier value. I don't recall there being any precedent for this.   05-17-2004, 04:49 PM   #4 (permalink) chevy Senior Member     Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: virginia Posts: 347 hm... i thought it was 130 dollars anyway, 120 is too much for a proof set. im just taking the bicentennial set as an example this set did not do anywhere near as well as was predicted i imagine the same case with the L&c set, as well   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
