YAHOO! 2013 Uncirculated Mint Set Sells Out! New Low!

The 2013 Uncirculated Mint Set finally sold out with last reported sales of 368,304, however, this number will be adjusted for last weeks sales. As of now it is the lowest mintage non-silver mint set, 23,920 lower than 2012.

Today’s mint sales report shows 368,553 2013 uncirculated mint sets sold. This number will probably be adjusted a little over the next few weeks.

 

I see a trend of every year mintages getting lower and lower. 368k is a huge number of mint set.

 

Good to know! I figured I better buy one now and avoid any price spikes. Thanks

 

That is the current trend, which won't hold forever. The 2013 mintage is low for a modern mint set - the 2012, with a higher mintage did pretty good. Now that the 2013 is lower, it should out do the 2012. Will 2014 out do 2013? Who knows, but, there will be a bottom to the downward mintage trend.

 

I agree with that, the question is if the bottom is greater than 0.

 

LOL, has to be greater than 0, unless the mint stops selling them.

 

WHAT THE HECK??? It's now listed as not sold out and on sale again - this is the second time this has happened with the 2013 set. Please mint, get it together and stop messing up the secondary market. Or, is this the mint’s new underhanded tactic to increase sales – claim it’s sold out, then when it goes back on sale, hope to sell a few thousand more?

 

The logic that these will be valuable investments because they're making less and less of them escapes me. To me that just means the demand is clearly going down. If people don't want them now, they won't want them years down the road either.

Maybe if you save them for 50 years your grandchildren will be able to cash in.

 

Well, some of do understand and make money buying & selling them. The demand today or when they're available has nothing to do with future demand.

 

Finally, as of 12/31/2014 the 2013 uncirculated mint set sells out (I think). Sales as of 12/28/2014 were 375,967. So, if the last two days of sales were minimal, the 2013 set sales will be lower than the 2012 set, which sold 392,224. So, will the 2012 set prices plummet and will the 2013 set be the new "winner"?
