Aberlight; I just got back in town and ordered the Platinum Set Order #2752xxxx Recd email of conf. Backordered until 12/31/07 Order placed at: 7:35 PM tonite!!
I ordered the anniversay set but had second thoughts and then canceled it. Inre to the fractional Buffalo, the neat one would be the $10 demonination or whichever is closest to the real size of the nickel (five cent piece to the elitists). It would look nice displayed next to a 1913-S.
Robert, You shouldn't post full order numbers. There is a Edit button at the bottom of your post that will allow changes. Order numbers do give a good idea of first day sales, but remember the 14th was the deadline for commemoratives and may contribute to the large increase in order numbers. However, I do believe this will sell out before Christmas.
Ok, so I broke down and bought a set too. I don't necessarily think that it will go up in value, but it sure is pretty.
Looks like numbers are actually a little under 15k for the set. CC and Bank accounts are being charged so they should ship in the next few days rather than 12/31.
