2014 Kennedy 50th anniversary announcement

I received the e-mail after noon ET and the site was already overloaded. I will most likely wait until tomorrow evening.

The SW1 set is the 2014 Silver Proof Set. I don't think it's what you think it is.

 

The clad coinage has no mintage limit, so unless you are trying to flip these with a First Strike/Early Releases designation, I wouldn't lose any sleep over waiting for another day to order.

 

Do you want to make $25 in 25 minutes?

Explain that to the Judge.

 

I'm glad I didn't stop waiting for the wait time to clear. Mine still show an expected date of 7/28 but I see that the main page has orders now pushed out to a September 6th expected ship date.

They sure went through those quickly!

They said they would have 38,000 sets available today so I'm wonderinf how many they held out for the various US Mint Gift Shops and for selling at the ANA Show??

 

Folks will have to wait and see on this.

 

I don't know what the hype is with these sets.........fancy packaging? They appear no different than what I've already got in rolls. Are these being struck differently? Special dies?

 

The image of Kennedy is the same as the 64 image, and yes fancy cardboard packaging with air-tites.

 

If I read correctly, you will barely break even. It does not sounds like they are paying you back for the $5 the mint will charge to ship, so now you are down to $20 profit. If you do not live local, you have to mail the coins to them, which in the original mint box, I would imagine it costing AT LEAST $10-$15. I did not see it say they pay for your shipping.. I might have missed it. If they do not cover that, you might make $5?

 

Did anybody see the pics posted in Facebook by the mint of the line I think in DC? Looked like hundreds of people lined up to buy them there and probably a lot of them bought the max 5 each. I got my orders in by 12:15....I set my wife up last year with her own account so we shall see what happens.

 

This is going to be the greatest 'flip flop' in history........

 

Hope you're wrong but I didn't buy these to flip. Bought 'em to keep my Kennedy collection up-to-date.

 

Boy all the chatter flip/flop or what ever it is only $55 for 5 sets . I might just give them as Christmas presents to my grandchildren in 10 years. I would imagine that many years down the road there would be a up-tick in collector value.

I also think that these coins have some sort of raised image or something.

As you should my friend.

(aside) I bought one too.

 

$55? What planet you on?

 

5 sets with shipping I got mine ordered @ 2:00 with a 7/28 expected ship date.

 

Heck, mine arrive in September. No biggie. I ain't in a rush to get this additional fancy packaged issue.

 

As for the silver........now you're talkin'.......

 

I am ready for that set too ! I am in no hurry either as I plan to keep my sets as well.
