<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 797934, member: 9474&quot;]Well as all of you know, the mint decided not to produce any proof or (W) unc ASEs last year.&nbsp; In doing so, there was one set in particular that was not produced and that was the Annual Uncirculated Dollar Coin Set.&nbsp; I was just looking at my 2007 and 2008 sets tonight and was thinking what a shame of a missed opportunity. </p><p><br /></p><p>The first thing that came to mind was the word &quot;ANNUAL&quot; which is in the title of the product.&nbsp; Well obviously, you can&#039;t call it annual anymore.&nbsp; Kinda tough to call something annual when you start skipping years here and there...don&#039;t you agree?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, didn&#039;t mint make a gazillion bullion ASEs last year??? Ok, maybe not a gazillion, but they did sell nearly 29 million of these things last year.&nbsp; I would have still bought the set if they just substituted the W ASE for the bullion one.&nbsp; Heck, I don&#039;t think anyone would have noticed.&nbsp; The bullion ASE is still considered Uncirculated in the purest of terms anyway.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, the mint could have at least still made the set, but chose to keep out the ASE.&nbsp; Now if the mint decides to make this set next year, we are missing a year.&nbsp; I don&#039;t care about the ASE, but we will be missing the 4 prez dollars and the new sac.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Either you collect the set or you don&#039;t.&nbsp; But now the series is dead.&nbsp; Even if the mint picks up next year, I will not continue the series because it won&#039;t be complete.&nbsp; And not because I don&#039;t have the ASE for 2009, but I don&#039;t have the other 5 coins in set either.&nbsp; Maybe it wasn&#039;t a big seller and the mint felt this would be a good time to ax the set.&nbsp; Who knows.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is one set that I definitely felt had options to continue and the mint passed up on those.&nbsp; The mint has used bullion ASEs in sets before, they could have surely done it again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
