    We shall see.

    Another thing that turns me off about these coins are the household "limits"... 100 units! That's not a limit and it's probably larger than most Scouting packs... That's more of a dealer sized ordering limit and the Mint doesn't even offer bulk discounts. IF I was going to drop $3,400 ($33.95 x 100 for uncs.) on Mint issued coins it certainly wouldn't be on these, but rather the FS gold with significantly lower mintages. I am curious why the Mint isn't co-marketing these within the Scouts, selling them through channels that supply badges, gear, and uniforms to the Scouts in the way that the Parks are supposedly going to be selling America the Beautiful issues at those park locations in gift shops.

    I'm with Krispy but I could be wrong.
    Should we start a poll?

    The Boy Scouts commems WILL be a sell out, over 200k of the 350k minted already sold. And I doubt there will be any left before the price increase on April 21st. Except for the dregs that get returned per usual. They will sell well, I just don't see a future in them once tucked into a few past and present generations of Scouts keepsakes. The lack of them on the market after that occurs still won't be much of a hoo-hah to the coin collectors either, methinks.

    Well, I must admit, they might do better if the final mintage was closer to (Oh, I don't know...) 3,537!!! :hail::D

    Anna Harrison reference..."You GO girl!"

    The final price has not been posted yet but it hasn't sold the last two time either when the price ended at the $6200 bid point. Even though the site currently shows, "Realized price pending" if it didn't meet the reserve, the next screen will show 'lot not sold' or something to that effect... it should post tonight or by the morning.[FONT=MS Sans Serif, geneva,arial][/FONT]

    The 2001 silver Buffalo Unc/Proof set is one of my favorites! Those coins look really nice next to the gold ones. Although quite a few of the sets were sold, I think they will continue to appreciate over time. :thumb:
