http://mintnewsblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/us-mint-product-schedule-update_22.html Just an FYI type of article about upcoming mint offerings. (btw I really like this website)
I'll be going after the silver proof set. It appears that the clad proof set is selling rather slowly. I think the economy is slowing sales. It may be a good year for collecting coins.
That is a good site. My coin web surfing usually starts at the US Mint page, then that blog, then here.
I talked to a mint rep. today about an order and wanted some information about the 2009 Lincoln Coin and Chronicle set that was to be released. SHe said that that product has been dropped from the delivery schedule list for this year. I was really excited about this set, I hope she was wrong.
The Tyler spouse coin actually looks pretty good. I'm also all over the silver proof set but I will wait until the mint sets are available to save on shipping.
The mint purposely held back availability for the Lincolns just so they could produce this set. My feeling is that they'll sneak it in sometime this fall with no announcement or a minimum of fanfare....much like the gold and silver eagle anniversary sets back in '06.
UHHHHHHHHHH... WOW! That means those extra lincoln dollars will have to be on sale, sometime...Right??
