Thanks for posting this! I am looking forward to getting one or two!

I agree, and you know that dealers will be selling the coin by itself as soon as it is released.

 

If the cent was bronze, this set would fly out the door at the Mint.

 

Why doesn't the set have the 2019 Innovation Dollars?

 

I was wondering that myself.

 

Price and availability? Most of the designs haven't been reviewed, so the coins will be out towards the end of the year... if they waited they might lose a lot of sales

 

Yeah, timing makes sense. @Burton Strauss III

 

Will it also come with the silver proof sets?

 

Oops

 

Great gimmick

 

Wow latly we've been flooded with coins we have to have. But can't afford. In my case

 

No you wouldn't. Your a cent guy. Come clean. Remember only kidding

 

There were 1,457,000 1996 W Roosevelt dimes minted and the prices on ebay are around $10-25 dollars. I guess we'll have to see how many of these sets are sold before we speculate about the value of the 2019 W cent. Probably in the beginning (like all new Mint products) prices will be high but eventually they'll settle down.Just my opinion.

 

The mint should make and release 10 coins (strict release protocols) to generate collector excitement:

1913 V-nickel
1943 copper cent
1964 peace dollar
197x aluminum cent (can't remember the actual year)

It would really piss off the current owners of these "illegal" coins, which is an added bonus.

 

Hmm.

1913 V-nickel -- unauthorized strike, technically illegal, but existing specimens have ample precedent establishing them as legal to own/trade.

1943 copper cent -- legitimate wrong-planchet error (as far as anyone knows), I've not heard of any legal challenges around them.

1964 Peace dollar -- never released from the Mint, widely understood to be illegal to hold or trade.

1974 aluminum cent -- only released to members of Congress, recalled. Legal situation a bit complex.

 

Why have it wrapped separately? I'd rather have them all in the same lens.

 

I prefer it to be separate. I can keep the set in tact if I so choose and since this is an added bonus, an extra or whatever you want to call it, I can break this out to have it slabbed or place it in one of my albums. This "gift" from the Mint will be the most important coin of the year!

 

Every coin made before 1932 is legal according to the government even if it was made with stolen materials and then stolen from the mint like most of the 1804 dollars.

Every coin made after 1932 is either questionable or out and out illegal even if it was made intentionally by the mint with taxpayer owned material and legally acquired by each subsequent owner like the 1974 cents or '33 double eagles.

It doesn't matter anyway since all coins in circulation are now owned by the mint as proven by the ban on melting them.


Apropos of nothing in particular in 1932 a businessman attempted to buy the entire production of the 1931 cents issued in San Francisco that were in storage because of the depression. This appears to have created a line in the sand and makes the US Mint the first modern basher.
