Message:: [QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2502024, member: 15929"]I think you're absolutely correct with the addendum of "Nobody would want them!" The way I see it and after many years of losing my butt on such things, is that collectors are a fickled bunch but dealers are staying the course. What this means, is that there is a LOT of activity from big and small time dealers to capture the most profits on these items from the US Mint. Once the wave passes, the prices drop! I have soooo many US Mint products that I purchased in the past in the hopes of increasing my financial share on the hobby I support that its embassessing! Today, the majority of what I purchased won't even sell for issue price much less a price that would cover my selling and shipping fee's. In short, LOSERS out of my own ignorance. Heck, even some of my silver eagles "special" products no longer attract bidders just because the selling (frenzy) wave has passed and now nobody wants them. Unfortunately, of the 2 sets I ordered, they are being shipped snail mail so I'll probably have yet another product which won't attract any bids and/or be a target for the low ballers. It is a very slim market folks and unless you're at the start and top of the wave, interest simply wanes. The mintage was correct to create the necessary frenzy on these. Any higher and you'd be looking at 25,000 Kennedy Coin & Chronicles headaches. Heck, I can't even sell my IKE Coin & Chronicles Set so thats gotta tell you something![/QUOTE]
