They could do a SF reverse proof set and keep these Philadelphia RPs unique. TC

 

It possible, but I got lucky and got 5 sets from it.

 

I just got an e-mail that mine shipped, too. Didn't expect it so soon.

 

Item Number: AX1
Mintage Limit: None
Product Limit: 17,000
Household Order Limit:5

On ordering page it has the above info. Shouldn't the mintage limit be the same as the product limit, if 17,000 were it? I talked to three reps today. One said they would be making more and the other two d'unt know but d'unt think so.

 

Probably didn't mint the entire mintage yet, they do this for lots of issues. The product limit is 17,000 there's no changing that and releasing over that amount in this specific product; unless the mint wants another fiasco on it's hand. However, because there isn't a mintage limit like I stated before I wouldn't be surprised to see these 4 RP dollars show up in another set entirely as there is nothing holding the mint back from making more except a small blurb on the product details stating the RP dollar is 'only available in this set'. I think if these sell well they'll probably just release a D, W or S RP 4 coin set and technically the P RP will still have only appeared in this set.

Mine's comin' home too........

 

Here's a mint letter someone received and posted on another site:

Based on our sales forecast, which took into account the popularity of reverse proof coins and the demand for the two previously issued Coin and Chronicles Sets, the Mint established an overall production limit of 17,000 units for the 2015 Coin and Chronicles Set – Harry S. Truman (product code: AX1). The demand for the 2013 Coin and Chronicles Set – Theodore Roosevelt was 15,141 units. The 2014 Coin and Chronicles Set – Franklin D. Roosevelt, which went on sale December 22, 2014, with a product limit of 20,000 units – had sold only 13,255 units as of June 29, 2015.

To ensure fair and equitable access, a household order limit of five sets was established for the 2015 Coin and Chronicles Set – Harry S. Truman. The product went on sale at noon Eastern Time June 30, 2015. By 12:15 p.m., available inventory had been depleted, and the product’s availability on the website changed to “currently unavailable,” with the “Remind Me” button and message activated. (i.e., We are currently out of this item, but more may be available later. Provide your email using the REMIND ME button, and we will let you know when we are taking orders again.)

A total of 16,780 sets were sold in approximately 15 minutes. All accepted orders will be processed and fulfilled on a first-in, first-served basis according to existing United States Mint policies. The product inventory is at the fulfillment center for immediate shipment to customers. No additional inventory will be produced. Product shipments, returns and exchanges will be monitored daily over the next few weeks.

 

Good for the people who got one, but disappointing for the people who missed out and now have to pay $140+ if they want one. I missed the initial sale, but was quick on my feet this morning when they sold a second time.

 

The Mint has said that they will issue a Reverse Proof Set later this year. They will NOT, however include these coins as they are struck at Philadelphia and the RP set will be struck at San Francisco.

The mintage of the 1973 8-cent Truman stamp in the Coin & Chronicles set = 157,052,800. That's a lot more than 17,000...lol.

 

So no facsimile in the set? The original stamp?

 

LOL. Yes, it is the real deal. Maybe a TPG will slab it as part of the set and make it rare.

 

Anything to turn a buck TC........

 

So, where'd they get all these 1973 stamps or did they reproduce them?

 

Postal stamp morgue........

 

Is anyone planning to grade? If so, are you just grading the dollar or the medal too?
