Is 2015 Truman RP the coin of the year

I wasn't alive at the time, of course, but I will say that I've never seen it written or quoted that way. I've seen plenty of citations from the time, though, having it as "He".

Off-topic, of course, except for the general connection that people will trust more what you say about the future if you're generally correct in what you say about the past.

Really? I've seen it written that way and surely you wouldn't question writer's prerogative. Actually, it's Ye, not Yee. In any case, I doubt it was said in Colonial times, but if it were, it would probably have been said in Old English.

 

Yee......

 

Ya'll are denser than a bag of hammers.

19Lyds name is Lee!

 

I feel it in my bones! Is that what you meant?

 

Yeah, I'd say in about 1 to 5 years you won't see more than 10 of any 2015 RP Presidents on eBay, the rest will all be squirreled away in collections and hoards. Price, north of $1,000 for a raw set.

As for the Truman Set, it's a wait & see game - to see if the mint raises the mintages on the remaining sets. Even though the price is increasing daily on the Truman Set, it will take off if the mint raises the mintages of the rest. If the mint doesn't raise the mintages, it's wait for the price to take off on all the sets until they're all sold. Until they're all sold, those that need prior sets will hope to trade or cover the cost by buying extra future sets.

 

They have already said they are not raising mintage... they are just lowering household limit. $1,000 per set is nuts.... a couple hundred is not.

 

LOL, you never know. $1,000 per set is more likely than other nutty predictions of $25. All depends on demand, as the mintage is low enough to send it to the moon.

As for the mintages & limits of future sets, nothing is for sure until the order pages are complete and they go on sale. If they don't raise the mintages, what's going on, is the reputation of some incompetent executive, who decided the mintages, being protected?

 

There wasn't any mintage limits on the coin in the set: just the product limit. Could the mint offer the reverse proof coin in some other product later in the year? Furthermore, the mint could have many more and offer them in products even next year. The gold Kennedy coin from last year is still available.

 

Just because it's might have the lowest mintage doesn't mean it will be the hard one to find to complete a set...when the JFK comes out many will buy just that coin from the set making the availability of the JFK coin much more scarce to set collectors......and no one has replied to how unpopular Truman was as a President....I really don't see anyone other than set collectors even wanting the coin long term....When you're talking a mintage of 20k vs 30k demand will have a bigger factor in price than supply.

 

Refer to other posts and other threads, this topic has been beat to death. The short answer, no. it will not be offered again.

 

Very true, the difference between low mintages may not matter much given demand, yet the lowest of a series usually gets a boost. As for set collectors, yeah, they will demand them - but, there are collectors like me, who start by collecting the key dates and may branch into the whole set. This goes back to advice I received many years ago, that was buy the key dates first.

 

What makes this a key date?....I think who ever told you that was referring to circulated coins....not coins that were never meant to be circulated that were minted in 2015

....and again you didn't answer the question, why would anyone like a Truman coin....as of now he is considered one of the worst Presidents ever, I don't see his legacy ever changing.

 

Think I just counted over a hundred 2009 UHRs on eBay just now.

 

Will be able to buy these sets for $50 bucks in the future.

 

My #1 rule with coin collecting is...never to pay a big premium for something that was made yesterday!

 

They're not buying bc of Truman.
They're buying bc it's a reverse proof........DDDDDUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

115,000 mintage vs 17,000................DDDDDUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

So if there was a reverse proof of my bowel movement from today....it would be a steaming hot seller?
