<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2200668, member: 15929&quot;]In 2008, the US Mint took a long hard look at all the various products they were offering.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin and Die Sets, State Quarter Spoons, Presidential Dollar Signature Sets, and they canned them all! I was mostly disappointed that the got rid of the Presidential Dollar Signature item since they made terrific Library Collectibles! Each came in a well designed book style folder with cut outs to show the Proof coin of the President and an intaglio print of the President. For only $19.95! Of course, today it would b up to $29.95 but that&#039;s beside the point. The offering presented a tasteful method of collecting each Presidential Proof which could easily be stored on a bookshelf.</p><p><br /></p><p>The product had had minimal takers so it got shelved. After it was discontinued, priced spiked at around $120 for each one but today, I&#039;d be lucky to get the original issue price for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s stuff like this that drives me crazy! Starting an offering for a particular coin series and then dropping it a few years in</p><p><br /></p><p>OR</p><p><br /></p><p>Coming up with a &quot;new&quot; offering with only a year and a half left on the program!</p><p><br /></p><p>They&#039;ve lost their minds..............[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
