[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2539525, member: 15929"]I own S-o-o-o-o many US Mint Losers that were popular for a time that its actually embarrassing! Franklin Coin & Chronicles, Lewis and Clark, and now these Presidential Coin & chronicles Sets. I recently sold my Truman Set for a couple of hundred but the Eisenhower Set just sat there at $225, then $200, then $195. The Kennedy's sold and I lost some money on them. I still have Johnson,s and the FDR Set is just going to sit there. I did make money on the Truman and IKE sets having been able to order 5 of each but once they started screwing with the mintages, the bottom just fell complete;ly out of the aftermarket. With the Reagan sets at a 150,000 unit mining limit, I'll be surprised if they even sell out! Not to mention the fact that the Reagan coin is just butt ugly! Reagan "may" have been a popular President but then Kennedy was way more popular. His pieces didn't sell out and actually dropped from the original issue prices. With the Reagan Sets at $11.00 more than previous sets, I think folks will be extremely lucky to ever recover that cost.[/QUOTE]
