I actually purchased one around 3:00 central and it is already back ordered till 4-30.

 

Question.....?

My understanding is that 50,000 chronicle sets are available, and 250,000 of each of the Franklin coins will be available. Is that 250,000 proof and unc. of each, or what??

Anyone have the numbers?

Thanks, glaciermi...

So it looks like the BUs will be worth more than the Proofs from a mintage standpoint?

Don't know anything about the Tricentennials ? Didn't see them on the Mint site?

HELP

thanks chrisild....

Don't know anything about French coins..

 

oh sorry, I forgot to peel that off.

It's a very nice coin from the french mint, that will complement my set, about $40 american.

Nice thing is, it has a 15,000 mintage, and with the big spread in the ANA magazine this month, might be going fast.

 

I did not see any item with a 15000 mintage on the site.

 

Its $22.95 american.

Yes, but you have to pay the Concorde $15 for a first class seat to get it to you (shipping)

 

I just ordered it from www.downies.com at $22.95 + $6.00 s/h Total was $28.95 :smile

I have another question for you, where did you find the mintages for the UNC & Proof? I haven't seen it anywhere. Everywhere its said 250,000 across unc, proof and C&C.

 

There is a maximum mintage of the entire series of 500,000. 250,000 for each coin (2 coins). Looking at the past years and previous trends usually there are 5x as many proofs than BU. I'm just offering a guess, but I think at the end of year I won't be too far off.

Thanks for the website!!
