if you had to decide between the two and you can only pick one or the other....

I can get one or the other, not both. Wondering what the majority here would pick.

I have not been to the Mint's site. They actually sold out on the Mint set? Wow!

 

That's a toughy, I love the quarters in the 2021 uncirculated mint set, but I'm somehow partial to the Innovations Reverse Proofs. That said, the uncirculated mint set is sold out - I'd go for that given the chance. Can I change my vote? Edit - vote changed!

 

The mint just wants too much for the reverse proofs.

 

Voted for the 2021 unc. mint set from a vendor, but only if in OGP, et al, and within reason (not overpriced).

 

Mint set. The Crossing the Delaware quarter alone makes that choice.

 

With the mint set being sold out, I would spend the extra $7.00 for the proof set for 2021. I realize it's seven less coins, but the S mint mark does it for me. You can probably put most of a decent 2021 Unc set together from circulation finds. Brand spanking new rolls of 2021 coins are still showing up at banks. I know the $1 coins would probably have to be bought, but the Kennedy is out there (2021).

 

the mint sets are going for $42-$45 on the cheap side of things currently. $54 on amazon, they were $25.25 from the mint but I missed it when they were on sale thinking I had time to wait.... yep. according to the mint site, sales of this set were 163,430 and it's been
"currently unavailable" for at least a month now. and december is half over, I'm doubtful they make any more this year at this point. that's the lowest mint set mintage figure since 1959.

the reverse proof set for 2021 is $28.00 it's not too bad now that it's a set and not $11.50 per coin. I don't think that will sell out, but it's definitely cheaper and pretty nice. they are still selling the 2020 RPs on the mint site, I can't imagine that set sells out.......
Hmmmm.... no Idea..... seems to be 80% so far for the mint set though so the fine people of cointalk must think the mint set is the better buy for for less than a fifty!

decisions decisions. I thought this might have been closer...

 

I have one Innovation Dollar, the first one. Only got it to include in the grandkids sets. I am not starting another long running set.

 

I really like the look of the rev proof.

 

the 2021 mint set is active this morning on the mint website, my bet was wrong that they wouldn't have more before the year ended, good thing I stalled with this poll, now I just ordered one set at mint pricing FTW!

tough decision adverted. a 2021 uncirculated mint set at $25.25 makes it an easy choice.

 

Still up. I'm dithering -- I don't collect mint sets as a rule, but the low mintage makes it tempting. And I don't collect American Innovations, but this set has the UNC logo (near my current home), Virginia (where I grew up), the Erie Canal (I spent my early childhood only a mile or two from the C&O Canal), and time-wasting electronic gadgets (my avocation).

 

Ooh, and I've got free shipping as a result of my follies earlier in the year! Oh, fine.

 

Tempting, but its very likely someones return

 

I had concerns about that, but it's still active which leads me to believe they added new sets to inventory.

 

neither

 

It looks like they might have which is really weird to restart a product months later

 

I'm easy... i bought the reverse proofs but not the mint set Honestly it boils down to what set you prefer

 

I agree, I didn't expect it to happen, but it's one of the cheaper items, maybe they wanted to get them available before christmas maybe due to public complaint or something, but if so, that's cutting it really close!

 

I cant think of another product where they did this. It really does screw the people that ran out to buy them thinking it was going to be a low mintage though.
