[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1462271, member: 15929"]I don't understand what folks were expecting since these two coins are priced at only $12.55 more than two regular silver proofs in a custom package. OR, if you put it into perspective, the reverse proof costs $25.10 more than a Standard SAE Proof which is only $64.90 after minimum S/H is applied. The packaging on these sets is more expensive than the "standard" SAE Proof coins as well so IMO, $149.95 + $4.95 S/H is just about right and fairly consistent with what the US Mint charges for everything. Once these start getting delivered, varieties "could" be found in which case, depending upon the variety, prices could go up substantially. Maybe CT should open a Whiners Forum? BTW, I'm elated that folks aren't buying since it opens the door for low mintages. (Only 121,304 ordered so far). It also substantiates the useless point the whiners were making about the 25th Anniversary Sets![/QUOTE]
