[QUOTE="treehugger, post: 1283203, member: 28451"]I'm trying to determine what it is that needs clarifying. From the information Greg received, we know: 1. The mintage will be 100,000. 2. The price, as of now, will not be $229.95. 3. The price will most likely be determined October 26th at the earliest in order to reflect the then price of silver. I might be missing something, but that seems pretty clear to me. Have the Mint's offerings become so uninspired that we get super-excited about an offering in which 60% of the offering is already readily available? The answer is probably "yes, they have." Do I want to purchase a set? Of course. Do I think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread? Definitely not. To me, only 2 of the 5 coins merit any real attention. Of those 2, only 1 offers anything new, as we already have a reverse proof Eagle. So, the issue becomes, how significant is an uncirculated Eagle with an "S" mint mark? I think the answer to that question indicates how much focus and attention this set deserves. That's just my opinion. For me, it all comes down to the fancy box. Just kidding.[/QUOTE]
