Id like to see them mint these sets with all the older coins not just the walkers dateing back to the 1700s. Do them one each year and make them so every collector that wants them to be able to buy them. How cool would it be to own a coin with a morgan face or a flowing hair silver dollar and be able to collect them in a set of silver. Would you buy the complete set one each year if it was offered?
I couldn't agree more. The 2008 American Buffalo fractional gold set sold way less than it's mintage limit. For some reason, only 9,000 sets were sold and it is now worth 3-4X the issue price.
With the price of silver dropping like a lead baloon, I wonder how it will impact the sales price on these babies. Could we be looking at $99.99 for the set? I know it is wishful thinking on my part but silver could be less than $25/oz by the end of the month at this rate.
I appreciate the sentiment, however I'd also like to know why...would the currently perceived fundamentals change if the offering price adjusts to a lower silver price? Just curious!
Because I'm limited to $2K to spend on this issue. I think there may be more profit if I hold them for more than 1 year.
Yes, I'm in for more if the price drops to the low 100's. It could be the winner of the year at that price.
If this set has a mintage of below the average proof Eagle even as high as 600k i think it will still hold a premium. Plus since you get two unique coins instead of one, the premium per coin would not have to be as high for a person to make a profit on this set. That being said, if the big Shop at home types over buy we could be looking at a mintage so high that this set could be reduced to overpriced bullion.
I can see the secondary ads now: "...and this certified set has been slabbed in the RARE NON-FIRST-STRIKE non-Early-Release holder." Or... "... (TPG) has issued these scarce 'LAST OF THE RELEASE' labels for coins which missed the (TPG) early grading deadline only because these were the last coins minted before this set was discontinued, NEVER TO BE SOLD AGAIN AT ANY PRICE!" Re-sellers will always have an angle. -thecointrader
Do you know what would be funny? If once the sales reached 250k they said "Sorry due to unexpected demand we will not be taking anymore orders" :devil: I am trying to decide if im going with three or five sets on the first day.:thumb: Im probably going to leave them sealed and buy more later in the month if we are still havent breached 400k sales.
