The U.S. Mint sold 85,341 of the 2012 American Eagle San Francisco Two-Coin set on the first day. Holy gee wilikers Batman!!!
Ditto on 500k but the low first day sales is suggesting to me that a lot of people will only get one or two sets. It may limit the sales to 300k. If it looks that way by the end of the sales period, I may pick up an additional set. The mint may have found a nifty marketing gimmick with the daily updated sales count. If the sales look low at the end of the sales period, I'm guessing that a few of us will jump in for more sets. I still say that they could have made more profit by selling at a more reasonable price of $130 and made up for it in additional volume.
I agree that they should have sold it for $130. If that was the price, they would have sold more on the first day. I was expecting over 100,000 on the first day. I also think they should have set a limit of 300,000 and 5 per house.
I say to heck with collectors - let's make this a business. I think they should have limited the sales to dealers only, or flippers, and said 'screw you' to the actual collectors. I hope that everyone that buys one of these sets for the purpose of personal enrichment gets screwed. JMHO.
Guys I would like to buy a ASE For just collecting Cause I do not have one just halves and dimes. I am thinking of using JM bullion. I would like to get my money back someday or pass it on. Where do you buy from? THANKS JON
