They had to gouge us, didn't they? Double the bullion price! I've got to find a better hobby!

 

ANd the mintage is confirmed at 100k

 

they better lower the houshold limit to 2 or 3 or else its going to get crazy

 

Collecting coins for 30+ years, US coins for the first 20 years, and I just now created a US mint account. My kid better appreciate this.

 

How does Pitney Bowes fit into all of this?

 

Pitney Bowes handles the orders and shipping and returns and all questions go to them.

 

It sure would be great if the first week were to pass without a sell-out. No need to go the friends and family route for >5, if so. Still, I don't expect these to see even a minute of unconstrained ordering limits.

 

I only want 1 of my possible 5 sets and I really think the majority (that is, over 50%) of the people who order these will just order 1 set. Maybe 2, at the most. Sure some will order more as gifts and some will order more to sleaze people, I mean sell to people. Anyway, I really believe anyone who really wants a set will be able to order a set, if they place their order the first day. I don't think the 100.000 mintage is going to shut out anyone, if they don't screw around. I mean, that is a lot of sets.

Now that we know the price, we can say the 2 key coins are selling for about $75.00 each. 300-60-50-40=150. That's even without factoring in anything for the fancy box. I wonder what they will sell for in the after-market. It will be interesting to see what people will pay for them separately.

 

I bet the boxes alone will be a hit and people will start using them for other 5 coin collections... or have 5 boxes to store your entire Silver Eagle set

 

That's a **** of an idea! I'm glad you mentioned it.

 

Thank you, thank you very much

 

I'm only ordering one, so I'm not further extorted by the secondary market. I'll tell you, Wall St., the government, Wall St., the government.........hard to tell the difference.

 

The item description on the mint site now says 100000 limit. No price THERE yet though...

 

So will we be charged $299.99 plus tax than shipping?

 

I've never been charged sales tax, but there will most likely be a $4.95 shipping charge.
