<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2schnauzers2luv, post: 1334351, member: 26161&quot;]Thanks for another great FREE MONEY report!&nbsp; The countdown seems to be going smoothly and on schedule.&nbsp; The &quot;Key Date Race&quot; could turn out to be tight.&nbsp; Real tight.&nbsp; And yes, it will be interesting to see how it all pans out.&nbsp; I think alot of attention this year was focused on the ATB 5 ouncers.&nbsp; Then the focus switched to the Silver Eagle Anniversary Set.&nbsp; While alot of collectors were concentrating on these two mint products, sales for the 2010 Silver Proof Sets just dragged on at a snails pace.&nbsp; And little or no attention was given the 2010.&nbsp; Now here we are with only two days left to buy the 2010 SPS from the mint, and we&#039;re seeing historically low sales numbers.&nbsp; No doubt this has and will catch many by surprise.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m guessing another 1,200 sets of the 2010&#039;s selling through the 30th and for the 2011 sales to begin tapering off a tad bit.&nbsp; Seems logical to me that alot of these recent sales were Christmas gifts.&nbsp; I&#039;m wondering how many folks will be in the &quot;No Spend Mode&quot; now that Christmas is over because many may have overspent a little too much.&nbsp; I agree with Yakpoo, that some collector attention may be directed towards the release of the 2012 set and people may hold on to a portion of their collecting money to purchase that set.&nbsp; I also believe the American Silver Eagles may come into the equation here.&nbsp; Up to this point, 39.2 million 2011&#039;s have been sold this year.&nbsp; I read where 16% of the sales occurred in January 2011.&nbsp; So I&#039;m thinking the ASE&#039;s may be another &quot;attention diverter&quot; that may or may not affect year end sales of other mint products.&nbsp; I think the 2012 ASE&#039;s are scheduled for release January 9th, but don&#039;t quote me on that.&nbsp; But, I don&#039;t know.&nbsp; I&#039;m just throwing some thoughts out there trying to sort out all the &quot;Ifs and Buts&quot;.&nbsp; So we&#039;ll see.&nbsp; There&#039;s Excitement in the Air![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
