At $29.95, it would be possible for just a couple of the big boy orders to buy all of them. "MUST BE READY"
On sale at noon eastern time, Aug. 1rst. Sold out by 12:05 pm is my prediction. These will sell out fast, and I plan to get 100 sets to retire on.
Well, that is ridiculous. I don't stand a chance of getting just one! I'll be at work and can't take the time to order them. There should be limits!! Way to take care of the individual collectors US Mint!!
I don't think these things will sell out quick and I don't think they will do well in the after-market.......and if I'm wrong, wait 6 months and they'll be selling at below issue price.
I sure hope you are right. I like these types of sets. I like to get one for my collection and it is really irritating when they sell out so fast. Oh well, it is what it is!
Don't know what will actually happen, but the SAEs with the E.U. finish is very attractive to me. If the new set looks anywhere near as nice as these, it's game on.
Ya know? when you 'hover' (mouse) over those images ya get the feeling of 'what's all the hub-bub about'? Still, I'm willing to take a chance.........
After looking, and zooming, and looking again, (mints pics) I can't see the E.U. finish on them at all. Could they be using stock unc. Pics on their site??? They should be a combination of unc., and proof, but can't tell due to the poor pics. The Eagle posted above is obvious, and absolutely gorgeous IMO. I guess we'll see soon.
From the mint description, sounds like they'll be like the 2014 silver Kennedy and 2016 NA dollar - nothing like the 2013 SAE. I don't like it and I call it the impaired proof look. This coin set contains 10 coins with an enhanced uncirculated finish using a combination of laser frosted areas and an unpolished field that accentuates design details, creating a unique contrast distinctly different from the mirror–like finish of proof coins.
I'll bite. I mean, when is the US mint going to have another bicenquasquigenary anniversary? Edited to add- there IS the silver proof set version available for those that prefer the silver. It is under $50.... hmmm which one to get, because I'm only getting one. https://catalog.usmint.gov/silver-proof-set-2017-17RH.html?cm_sp=FM-_-sps_2017-_-071617
Anyone think it's gonna have enhanced uncirculated special finish on the Sacagawea Dollar like American $1 Coin and Currency Set 2014, 2015 and 2016? Maybe the U.S Mint switches things up?
I no longer have any idea what to expect. Would be smart not to expect something spectacular. One can only hope.
