[QUOTE="andrew289, post: 1692145, member: 6463"]I would suggest you do the opposite. Try to jump on the initial offering. After the coins sell out from the mint's initial offering there will be an increase in the price of the set on the secondary market. This will last a while but prices slowly begin to settle back down to around issue price. Personally, I've never seen any set cheaper than original issue.
