I can just imagine the price tag on this.

 

20 sets, please. Put them on lay-away...

 

It will be overpriced. If you put 20 sets on lay-away you’ll spent the rest of your life paying for them.

 

Not if you buy them for us

 

$10,947.50 and they have the nerve to charge shipping.

 

Does that price go with the 1 Oz coin?

 

I have a feeling that these will end up being very low mintage. Consider there are all the gold 2026 coming out later.

 

You know that’s not going to happen.

 

I know they're going to be expensive, 'cause the Mint charged me 5 bucks to open the e-mail.

 

No doubt, prices from the US Mint have gotten crazy and disrespectful to all buyers, especially coin collectors as we automatically see the profit margin over spot they're charging and it's ugly, been that way for years!

 

WOW!! Paying for the privilege to open junk email and get nothing in return. WOW

 

Pass.......

 

It's a joke.

I hope.

 

Not here either My only Mint purchase this year is the Unc. Mint set, which is twice what they're worth, but I need a P+D penny to complete my 250th SemiQ set!
I already got hosed on the Mayflower .25 5000 sold out in 2 hours now they're general released!

 

This is why I focus on BULLION acquisitions…

I am able to get some proofs at spot… So why catapult your break-even SO FAR into the future? Just for falling for the marketing ploy of “proof”…

Next!

 

Keep in mind at MOST, about 15% of the US population has $10k cash in the bank. I'd bet that number is high. How many will be interested in purchasing this set for $11k? They didn't get $10k+ in the bank by purchasing mint products regularly.
You could take two, two week family vacations for the price of this set. It's nice but a lot of things are nice while being unobtainable to 99.9% of the population. Sad that we've arrived here. If my salary was $30k a month, I might buy a set. I'm hoping to splurge on a $2.5 if they put one out.

 

Now do the percentage for people elected or appointed to positions where they can set Mint policies and pricing.

In fairness, though, 1.85ozt of gold at tonight's spot price would be $9600+ if the premium were zero. This set isn't going to be affordable to most without a major reset to the PM market. And that is well outside the Mint's control.

 

Oh I don't blame the mint. Instead of starting a long discussion about the value of your dollar I'll just ask what this set would have cost 30 years ago. 1996. We need wages to be what they are today with that time period's buying power. Then we'd be getting somewhere. Never works that way though. Inflation is winning.
