Looking at buying the set. Haven't found a coin dealer selling the set only place i found it is on ebay. Trying to get for around $1200. What do you guys think.
There isn't any option unless you want to wait several months just to see what happens to eBay prices. However, I doubt if they will dip down from current prices unless you find someone who must sell. Intern, I don't think the dealers will ever inventory these because they would have to buy them from collectors closer to retail prices. This is not something they are used to or like to do.
If you're talking of the bullion set you can still try to get into one for $863 at http://www.prudentialbache.com/view/page/prubache/17214 then there will be a $65 fee for shipping. If your talking about the actual collectors ATB from the mint.... WE SHALL SEE!!!! Pretty much set in stone pricing there...
The bullion has a prooflike finish (shiny) like proof franklin http://blacksburg.craigslist.org/clt/2396577317.html the collectors version is more of a matte/burnished finish which has been "vapor blasted" by the mint http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wc...ctId=16310&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=48501
Thanks Downlow. Quick question, what do you think of the set? I'm looking at it for investment purposes.
And if they even have any sets left, it'll take around 3-months or so to get your coins! That was my experience at least. The bullion coins look so much better than the satin finish examples being released right now. I have a few sets of them, probably a couple more than I really need... message sent to OP.
Don't bother with fleabay or b&m dealers, go for the Prudential set @ $900. My girlfriend just received hers and they are spectacular! Way nicer than my Apmex set (and cheaper too). The "P" pucks are enjoying a lower mintage right now, but who knows if that will hold up over the years. Whereas, the 2010 bullion pucks will def be the key dates of their series at 33k.
Thank for the input from everyone. If you someone is still interested to purchasing the set prudential bache changed to Jefferies Bache. Here is the link to order the set, http://www.bache.com/view/page/bache/17373.
How did you become aware of the change to Jefferies? Is it no longer available through Prudential? Maybe get 2?
I gave them a call a couple of days ago because the link to there account agreement wasn't working. Lady told me the link would be back Friday after the change in the company. Here is info I looked up about the change in the company, http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703280904576247433616605012.html.
My instant thought...but I think the same folks will be using the same 1 per household list that they were using before. I give it <1% chance...but wouldn't mind being wrong.
