How far can the price of 2005 mint set go?.

scientist silver dollar

the scientist should have been made as a half dollar silver coin instead of a dollar coin.

Franklin Coins

Annie,

All the Franklin products are sold out except for 50,000 proofs being held for the 2006 Legacy Set.

Sorry!!!!!,

founding father

still you can order the scientist dollars. but not quarantee by the mint.

 

2006 nickel rolls

the u.s. mint change its shipping date again to 1/31/06. which is tomorrow. the (D) mint mark remains at 2/14/06 shipment for 500 & 1000 coins.

 

The winner of 2005 will be the Uncirculated Satin Mint sets. The reasoning is that set builders will be scrambling soon as new pages will be issued for the 2005 Uncirc, Satin, and Proof slots...thus, Uncirculated Satin Mints sets will have to be broken up to fill the Satin spot. The same effect as the 1999 Silver proof sets where sets were busted to fill the silver proof quarter spot is going to happen. Long term hold- $100 a set.

 

satin set

you can easily get it for $20.00 now

 

satin set

and if you want to sell it to them. it is only $17.00 to $18.00 . that's only very near to the original price of $16.95.

 

2005 satin vs: marine corp

so 2005 mint set is no match to marine corp. because the marine corp is bidding at $60.00 and ask at $90.00

 

Did you not read "long term" in my post? The 1999 Silver proof set was only $40 or so the next year and $80 in in 2001. After that it exploded in price. Sure the 2005 mint satin set is getting only $20-25 right now...but long term this set is a sleeper that will make a lot of money.

 

set up by the u.s.mint

it seems that the u.s. mint set it up the limit on maximum mintages for each four category. namely founding father proof & unc. and the scientist proof & unc. the maximum for unc is 58,000 for founding father and 58,000 for scientist. why?. because the mint want to promote uncirculated by issueing more pieces than the proof. why? because the mint earned more from the uncirculated rather from the proof. remember the price is $33.00 for unc and $35.00 for proof. before it was based on how many pieces they can sell for each category until it reaches maximum. another clever move by the mint. the loser is the collectors.
