Wow I forgot all about this. I see it's still available at 2:30 eastern time.
No I'm not ordering a set, but I did go to the Strasburg Railroad today .

 

Well, I sure was wrong. I thought these would sell out in the first few minutes.

Baseball, you tried to tell me, I'm just glad we didn't bet.

 

Is that still enough of a collectible series to expect good price performance from a "new key"? I briefly chased a low mintage in the First Spouse gold, and we all know how that's turned out. (Not many collectors specializing in "lowest mintage coins still available around melt"...)

 

Phew! 4 hours in and they are STILL available!

Wondering if I should cancel my 2 and order a single set??

 

Perhaps wait in case one is sub par and then return one of them.

 

That won't happen... these sets will be too beautiful to even think of returning one.

 

I've had that same thought as well. If every year is going to be the new key, how long will people really care.

 

It's still in my "bag" waiting for my decision.

I think it may have timed out by now ...

 

Well eventually ONE of them will turn out to be a "key" and then everybody will get caught with their pants down and the cycle will continue!

 

30 Minutes is my experience. 30 Minutes of 'inactivity' which means you can't continue to look at other pages.

 

The #1 determining factor of value in a coin is demand, not mintage. People have to want a coin first! I don't believe that this coin will have the demand that the 2011 SAE anniversary set enjoyed.

 

Anyone have info on these ????
American Eagle 2018 One Ounce Silver Proof Coin Bulk Pack

 

Its a five figure dealer bulk pack of proof silver eagles without the individual packages

 

True and at this rate it may be one that sold under a thousand if they keep picking more obscure subjects like they have been. I doubt we will be seeing any new key next year so I guess it does have that going for it that it should be the key for at least a year

 

The National park ones spiked to around $800 if I recall in the flurry after it was confirmed the new key, but like anything else recent dropped within a short time. Theoretically you could make a some money on a quick flip if it does end up the new key once the mint pulls them from sale but holding on to them would be foolish imo. When the National park was found to be the new key last year I mused that next year it would get replaced again as the $5 commemorative program seems to be on it's death bed demand wise.

 

With sales figures lately that's my thought also. But the initial hype if you get in and out quickly could be an OK flip. It did also take a pretty long time for that Jackie Robinson coin to get replaced as key, but the commemorative program has now become a joke all around imo. And I fully expect mintage's to continue plummeting with extremely poor designs and causes most people don't care about.

 

Seriously?

The US Mint is stooping this low to pander to Coin Dealers??

There goes the market.

 

It could be, I just keep thinking of the first spouses where it happened so much it stopped mattering. I feel like eventually it's going to flame out and it will be on one of these so so designs that is a subject most people don't know/care about. The design is fitting, it's just a boring subject matter. If I liked the design more I would probably grab one or two

They were ordering that many anyway, just saves them from having to throw away a bunch of packaging.

 

what I noticed on this and what some may have over looked is the Single Proof is minted in "P" where as the Proof in the set is minted at "S". So in order to have the full set you need the 4 medal set + the single. Thus 2 proof Medals one with "S" and 1 with "P" sneaky huh?
Just an observation
